A Channel List Editor is a software application or a built-in feature designed to help you reorder, rename, delete, and organize TV and radio channels on a computer rather than using a slow TV remote. How It Works
Export: You insert a USB flash drive into your Smart TV and export the current channel list file (often in .xml, .scm, or .bin formats).
Edit: You plug the USB into your PC/Mac and open the file inside a Channel List Editor program.
Import: You rearrange the channels via drag-and-drop, save the file back to the USB, and import it back into your TV. Key Features
Mass Sorting: Drag, drop, or directly type in new channel numbers to sort hundreds of programs instantly.
Clean-Up Tools: Delete unassigned, duplicate, data, or scrambled channels that you do not watch.
Favorites Management: Create, group, and customize multiple “Favorites” lists.
Channel Customization: Lock specific channels with parental controls or rename them using Unicode character support. Popular Channel List Editors
