[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 1206603, member: 82144"] Looking back at your older posts I see we had a great discussion here: [URL]https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/threads/automatically-delete-unwanted-channels.129351/[/URL] You wouldn't have [I]seen [/I]any change as a result of that discussion [I]yet[/I], but I can tell you I definitely made changes to TVE 3.5 code based on your feedback. You'll see those changes when TVE 3.5 becomes available. I didn't say that such a feature was impossible. Rather, I said that I don't understand why it's so important to you. That's why I asked "why...?". :) If you can explain why the feature is so important to you, maybe I can understand and implement something that will meet your needs. I agree. I'm not trying to argue; I'm trying to understand. Understanding requires many questions [I]for clarification of what you mean. :)[/I] Okay, so you think it makes life easier. Can you please expand: in what way does having this feature (at the moment I'm thinking particularly of scanning and channel organisation) make it easier? I ask because for me it is far [I]far [/I]easier to use a regular program like TV Server Config than a "10 foot" front end interface, especially for tasks like those we've been talking about. Some of the reasons I think it's easier include: [LIST] [*]I can use a regular keyboard for typing names and channel numbers [*]I can use keyboard/mouse shortcuts (CTRL, SHIFT, HOME, END) for quick selection (eg. select all channels in list except 4, 9 and 11) [*]I can view websites (eg. KingOfSat) at the same time (eg. for scan result checking/comparison) [*]I can see more list items at a glance (smaller font) [*]list scrolling is so much easier due to mouse track wheel and/or click + drag of scroll bars [/LIST] So to repeat: why do you think it's easier to use the front end? Is it just that you don't have to close the front end and open a separate program, or...? I don't know why you think you always need the websites. I was hoping you could help me understand with a specific example, like: channel X moved from transponder 123 to transponder 456 on date X/Y/Z, and the transponder list [I]still[/I] doesn't include transponder 456 after X months. Sure, I understand this, and I agree: it's great when things just work. :) Please report issues like this. They won't be fixed unless they're reported. I don't really want you to leave, and I definitely don't want MP to die. Therefore I need to comment in order to understand what is causing you to think about leaving. Change of direction can only come after understanding what needs to be changed. [/QUOTE]
