Feature Idea: remove duplicated channels #131

I searched my samsung tv for channels and exported channel list to usb. When I opened the .zip in ChanSort, I realized that some channels are repeated (the same name and frequency).

So I was forced to delete duplicates manually based on channel's name and frequency.

I suggest to add remove duplicated channels feature.

+1 Same on my LG OLED TV. Seems LG somehow groups channels. It looks like channels 1-99 are most watched/needed channels. Channels 100-200 are all channels from the public television station ARD, 200-300 are those from German ZDF and so on. As several channels are under both groups (the top watched channels and also the broadcast station specific group), you have them 2 or even more times (SD / HD) in the channel list.

So a feature to remove duplicates and asking whether to keep HD or SD (if there are SD / HD duplicates) would be awesome!

+1 at this moment fix it by hands image

But! sometimes only one channel in doubles work. manually rename (like name 1, name 2, name 3) and then import to TV and check
