Some features may not be available on all TV models and channel types (analog, digital, sat, cable, ...)

! USE AT YOUR OWN RISK !

Most of this software was written without support from TV manufacturers or access to any official documentation about the file formats. It is solely based on analysing existing data files, trial and error. There is a chance of unwanted side-effects or even damage to your TV, as reported in 2 cases.

Hisense is the only manufacturer who provided technical information and a test device.

Supported TV models

ChanSort supports a large number of file formats, but it's impossible to tell for every brand and TV model what file format it uses (with may even change with firmware updates).
This list gives some examples of what should be supported, but even if your model or brand is not in this list, it may work anyway:

System requirements

Windows:

  • Windows 7 SP1, Windows 8.1, Windows 10 v1606 or later, Windows 11 (with x86, x64 or ARM CPU)
  • Microsoft .NET Framework 4.8
  • The .NET FW 4.8 does NOT work with Windows 7 without SP1, Windows 8 or Windows 10 prior to v1606

Linux:

  • wine (sudo apt-get install wine)
  • winetricks (sudo apt-get install winetricks)
  • start winetricks, select or create a wineprefix (32 bit or 64 bit), select "Install Windows DLL or component" and install the "dotnet48" package and ignore dozens of message boxes
  • right-click on ChanSort.exe and select "open with", "all applications", "A wine application" Or using Docker: #285

Mac

Hardware:

  • USB stick/SD-card to transfer the channel list between your TV and PC. A stick <= 32 GB with FAT32 file system is STRONGLY recommended. (Some TVs write garbage to NTFS and don't support exFAT at all)
