Cannot transfer channel list from one Samsung to another #193

Good day. The first TV is UE48H6230, the second - UE40D5000. After export list from first TV I (without any change) try to import it to the second one, but see "Error in list" (sorry, I cannot give the exact text of the error, because it is on another language). Channel list format is 1201, but on the 2nd TV - 1101. File (inside the archive) is in attach

These TVs use different/incompatible firmware and channel list formats, so a direct import is not possible.

With ChanSort you can do the following:

keep a copy of your already sorted list from one TV
run a full channel search on the new TV, export that list and open it in ChanSort
when asked, select the option to apply the order from another list (=reference list)
select the list from your old TV as the reference list
save the new list and import it in your new TV
