When I go into the Guide on my FVP-5000T it lists only the HD channels. To get other channels I have to press + then select Change Group then select TV.
I find this really annoying. Is there any way to change this so that all TV channels are listed initially?
Thanks for your reply Luke but I fail to see how this helps. I tried what was suggested but at the end of the process the guide still defaulted to HDTV. It only defaults to TV if you are already on a non HD channel.

I suggest that you try again then, because this method works. Just done it several times.
Guide.
+
Change group
Ok
Scroll to TV
OK
Scroll to any SD channel (not the one you are already on)
Ok
Watch live (OK)
Now, when you go into the EPG, it will be showing all channels.
Thanks for your reply SSThing. That seems to have done the trick.

It was Luke who posted the correct advice
As with a lot of stuff on these machines, what should be simple is often not, and unless you complete every step correctly you get nowhere.
Many Thanks to you both for your help.
It seems that this is not a permanent fix. Today my Guide has reverted back to HDTV only.
On a similar vein, I would love to know how to force the default to be a favourites list rather than TV or HDTV. Is it possible?
Strangely my 5000 had started to default to HD even if I go through the
procedure of selecting TV then an SD station, next day HD is the default.
For some reason (maybe I did it) the timer power on was not only set to
BBC 101 but HD selected, I’ve changing it to TV (choices are TV, radio, HD)

Have a close look at Post 7 in this thread.

I followed it very carefully a couple of months ago and it has been stable since then
Hi
I’ve known about the Humax idiosyncrasy of selecting TV/HD from the guide and having to actually select a SD channel for it to become the default, but after having to do a factory reset HD became the default at timer power on no matter how often the procedure was carried out, this is when I discovered that you can select HD to become the default from timer power on which in my case it had ~ you can select SD or HD (or even radio) to be the default EPG regardless of what channel you select
at timer P/On
I suddenly could see only the HD programmes.
I had the timer set to BBC1 HD for 15 min each morning so as to keep the EPG populated. I see that when I set the timer, I am offered programmes in the default Humax Favourites lists, and BBC1 HD is in the HDTV list.
So, when the timer works, it puts the box into the HDTV Favourites list.
My solution was to create a new favourites list (Humax called it Favourites 1) with all my programmes and to use that list when I set BBC1 HD in the timer. Hence the box gets set to see all channels.
