I have a DirecTV HD DVR that I sling. I prefer to watch the SD versions of channels that are available in HD, when I am using Slingplayer mobile (they format better to my screen). In my program guide, I have my DVR set to display both the HD and SD channels.

Does anyone know if there is a way to program a shortcut directly to those SD channels? Both the HD and SD channel have the same number in the guide, and if I type in the channel number it goes to the HD version. I have to manually go down to the SD variant, but I'd rather make a shortcut button to go straight to the SD channel.

Thanks.

I have this same issue and frankly I do not see a way to do this. I wish DirecTV would have given the HD channels a _1 at the end like they do the sports channels.

Not a great solution, but the best I could come up with was to program a favorites list called "Sling" which includes the SD versions of the channels that I watch most frequently. That way my guide only shows those channels, which makes it much easier to navigate.

Would prefer a better shortcut, but this will suffice.
