The same engine as the TV's set-up tour, with more room: pick per channel, see every group, undo any step. The tour's QR code opens this page signed in.

Every step shows what is in effect now, and re-reads it after each change, undo or redo, so coming back is updating your setup, not starting over. Steps that hide things list what they hid, with a way to show it again. It works as a checklist. Each step says ✓ Done (nothing left for it to do), To do, or Skipped, and the line at the top counts them. Skip leaves a step as it is, and Undo skip brings it back. Skips are saved on the TV, so another phone or computer sees them too. The number on Smart clean-up in the menu is the steps still to do.

  • Adult groups finds groups named Adult, XXX, 18+ and similar (not Adult Swim) and hides them in one press. On the TV, Settings > Parental controls can also lock any group behind a PIN.
  • Keep only your countries (with Tick all and Untick all, for keeping one or two out of many) works out each group's country and keeps the ones you tick. It reads codes at the start of group names ("US | News", "[UK] Sports"), country words ("Canada Sports", "France Cinema", "Latino / Mexico"), the code most of a group's channels start with ("ARG | ..."), and the divider group a group sits under ("⫘⫘⫘ CAN ⫘⫘⫘" then "TSN +"). Groups with no country, like sports and event groups, stay unless you tick Also hide groups with no country.
  • Same channel, more than once finds a channel in several qualities and keeps one (Full HD first is a good balance). It opens on To check: only the channels where two copies have the same quality, so TiviBro couldn't tell which to keep. All shows every set, one line each, with a button per copy, marked Keep on the one that stays and Hide on the rest (hidden copies stay backups): click a copy to keep that one instead, or Keep all to leave a set as it is. Channels with different numbers in their names are never treated as copies, so "US (Peacock 002)" and "US (Peacock 014)" stay separate. Type in Find a channel to narrow the list; Hide extra copies then works on just the channels found, or on all of them when the search is empty.
  • Hide by keyword hides groups or channels with words like PPV or 24/7, with a preview.
  • Empty groups hides groups with nothing left to watch.
  • East and West feeds finds channels that come in both time zones ("HBO (EAST)" and "HBO (WEST)", "A&E" and "A&E (WEST)") and keeps the feed you pick, Keep East or Keep West. The other copies are hidden in one step, and Also hide groups named West (or East) hides groups like "USA WEST" too. Channels that only come in one feed are left alone.
  • Local channels: pick your city reads the city out of every station in your local groups ("ABC Locals", "CBS Locals" and so on: ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX, CW, PBS, Telemundo, Univision, CBC, CTV, Global and more). It starts with a search box: type your city (Find your city: Chicago, Boston, Denver…), tick it (or a few nearby, like Detroit and Lansing), and Keep only these cities hides every other city's stations in all the local groups at once. Stations with no city in their name (national feeds such as Galavision or UniMás) are never put in your local group; Leave stations with no city shown keeps them visible where they are. A city in brackets counts ("CW | EAST (PHILLY)" is Philadelphia). Coming back later, your earlier pick is ticked, so you are updating it, not starting over. Also put them together in one group called ("Local channels", or a name of your own) copies the stations you keep into one group, by city and network, and Then hide the network groups hides ABC Locals, CBS Locals and the rest, so each station shows up once. Running it again adds to the same group.
  • Divider groups hides groups like "⫘⫘⫘ UK ⫘⫘⫘" or "===== SPORTS =====" that only split the provider's list into sections.
  • Channels with nothing on is the same switch as Hide channels with nothing on on the TV: event channels named "Off Air", "Offline" or "No Event Scheduled", empty slots, and events that ended hours ago stay out of the lists while they say so.
  • Groups of old events: event groups where every event ended days ago (the provider stopped updating them). Hide them in one go; they stay hidden until you show them again.

Everything here only hides, never deletes, and each action is one undo step. Taking a word off many group names at once (Shorter group names) is now on Channel and group names.
