About ChanSort ============================================================

ChanSort is a program to manage your Samsung, LG, Toshiba or Panasonic TV's
channel list on your PC.

It allows you to change program numbers and channel names, select your 
favorites, set a parental lock and much more. With its multi-selection 
capabilities and the side-by-side view of your sorted list and the available
channels a list can be created in no-time.

You can apply reference lists to your TV data file to restore a previous 
order, e.g. after running a channel scan. You can even apply the same 
reference list to TVs from different manufacturers.

You can get get the latest version and support on  
http://sourceforge.net/p/chansort/discussion/ or by contacting me by email:
mailto:horst@beham.biz
