ChanSort is a specialized utility developed by PredatH0r that addresses the common frustration of reorganizing television channel line-ups after manufacturers reset them during firmware updates. Released in its current build dated 2025-03-08, the open-source application sits in the Video Tools category and provides a Windows-based workspace for editing the cryptic binary or XML channel lists that most modern DTV and IDTV sets can export to USB. Instead of manually moving hundreds of entries with a remote control, technicians and home theatre enthusiasts can load the file produced by Samsung, LG, Panasonic, Sony, Toshiba, Philips, Grundig, Loewe, Sharp, Hisense, TCL or many other brands, drag rows into the desired order, delete unwanted services, rename stations, assign favorite groups, correct LCN numbers, update satellite transponder parameters, and then write the modified list back to a stick for instant import. Typical scenarios include resorting regional bouquets after a country-wide retune, pruning obsolete channels following a broadcaster migration, aligning numbering with cable provider charts, merging satellite positions for motorised dishes, or creating customised favourite tiers for family members. Support extends to terrestrial, cable, satellite and IPTV transport streams, covers both standard and high-definition services, and preserves conditional-access settings so premium subscriptions remain intact. Because the single-version programme is portable, it can be carried on a technician’s drive and launched without installation, while built-in checksum recalculation prevents the TV from rejecting the altered file. ChanSort is available for free on get.nero.com, with downloads supplied through trusted Windows package sources such as winget, always serving the latest build and enabling batch installation alongside other applications.
