How to edit channel list?

[ariendj]

I've just gotten Mythbuntu 8.04 Beta up and running. So far I really like it.

Something I'm missing in the backend though is an easy way of sorting out my channel list.

I use a satellite dish for Astra 19°E and Astra 23.5°E, so a channel scan finds all my TV and radio stations but also boatloads of rubbish channels. I need a convenient way to dispose of, e.g. 3900 useless channels to keep only the 100 ones I really use. The Mythtv user interface is no fun at all to sort out so many channels (plus, I have not found a way to preview channels in the backend setup). The UI may be great for 30 analogue channels, but for 1000s of digital channels it's horrible (unless I missed something)...

Is there maybe a text file I can edit to wipe out all of the channels I don't use?

Have I missed a more convenient way of editing the channel list?

Mythweb is the way to in. You can select multipal channels, then delete.

Volkswagner, thank you very much, this solves my problem :-)

DIdn't think of using the web frontend myself. Does make sense though, editing channels works better on a PCs browser than on my blurry TV screen.

How do I make a list of my favorite channels now so that I can sort them in a way that makes sense to me? Can I make my favorites then pop up when I enter the EPG?

Sorry if these questions seem rather dumb but I often seem to miss the obvious with Myth.
