I have many (many, many, many, sob!) times scanned channels and then spent half an hour deleting those I do not want.
OK, for me it is mainly the UK Sky channels - all of the encrypted channels go with a press of the Delete button.
But that still leaves me with a lot of channels I >can< get but don't want (trust me, I NEVER watch QVC et al - but I do keep the NHK channel).
It would be useful if there were some way to delete these by name automatically after a scan.
Even a SQL script would do, but I'm not that sure of the database format and wouldn't want to stuff it up (forcing another scan or at the very least a reload of an export).
(Actually I've even forgotten how I get onto the MySQL server - it's been ages since I tried. MediaPortal is my TV box, IO don't fiddle around with it, it just works - something that I just take for granted now. Big kudos to all at MP behind that statement.)
Talking of which, the export IS useful for recovery, but doesn't address the fact of being able to get new channels as they turn up.
I've never seen anything like this and just wondered if anyone else thinks it sounds like a 'good idea'.
