About ChanSort
--------------
ChanSort is a PC/Windows application that allows you to reorder your TV's channel list.
Most modern TVs can transfer channel lists via USB stick, which you can plug into your PC.
ChanSort supports various models from **Hisense** (NEW), LG, Panasonic, Samsung, Toshiba and the Linux VDR project.

! 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 both information and a test device.
