While television was less than twenty, problems with sorting them did not arise, but now that the number of channels in the hundreds, sort them on the TV with the remote almost unreal.
Modern Smart-TV Samsung, LG, Hisense, Panasonic, Toshiba allow you to record the channel list on the flash drive and read it from there. There are many programs and services to sort the channels.
My TV Samsung 40MU6400 (https://ammo1.livejournal.com/991642.html) Retains the stick ZIP-file, which is based on four file without an extension of the channel lists of different types in SQLite format 3 format. This is done in the TV menu "Translation - Advanced settings - Send the channel list - (enter the pin-code 0000) - Export to USB".
When I started looking for a program to sort the channels, there was a lot of different programs, but they did not understand this format channel list (in Samsungov different generations format changed). They found only one program that maintains a list of my TV channels, and along with TVs LG, Hisense, Panasonic and Toshiba. She called and ChanSort_2017-11-30
is available at GitHub.In addition to the name of the program channel shows much more technical information (frequency, number of multiplexes, quality, etc.). You can not only sort, but also to rename channels, hide unwanted channels, create lists of favorite channels.
After sorting, the program creates a file that you want to burn to a USB flash drive and "feed" your TV.
For Samsung found a more online-service sorting channels samychan.comBut there are far fewer opportunities.
If you watch TV and you have a modern Smart-TV, spend half an hour and sort the channels as you want. Now it is not difficult and tiring.
