go to channel you want to delete
hit your info button twice
hit fav button, should bring up screen to delete this channel from
favorites
this is one way, there may be others?

That way doesn't work at all. You get an error message saying, This
channel was already added to favorites.
Menu > Menu > Setup > Favorites Lists Setup > choose a list >
favorite button on remote > left or right arrow key to sort by
channel number > input three-digit channel number > favorite button
on remote to delete channel > cursor down to checkmark to confirm
Yes, in 30 easy steps, it's possible to do.
maybe for you, it works exactly that way for me
the screen popup says:
"This channel is a favorite"
X Delete from this Favorite List
ADD Add to another Favorite List
(/) Don't do anything
>>>>Thanks guys,

Then Comcast likes you better than it likes me. I have to go through the
Setup feature and perform all those additional steps.
hmmm <shrug> ????
I like your way too, now I can go through and do them all at once, yay
:-)

Works for me...in fact, obviously it was so easy even a woman could do
it.
What's your problem?
>>>>Thanks guys,
You're a woman? Who knew?
Thanks guys!
Well, the first way didn't work for me either.
But your multistep way worked just fine thanks.
Well, that's a pretty broad category. It includes Gisele Bundchen through
Bella Abzug.
Yeah - get *that* image out of your head...

Yah, Gisele is clearly in the "pretty broad" category but Bella? Really?
I'd put Bella in the "amazing broad" category.

In order to have the option to delete a favorite, you must have arrived
at the channel by pressing the "Favorites" button on your remote.
If you arrived at the channel by direct entry or the channel up/down
button, you will *not* see the option to delete an existing favorite.

Could it be that some of you have different cable boxes (Comcast uses a
couple of different vendors) or different versions of the guide software?
