If you already know what channels you want to delete then maybe you<br>
can use a modified version of the script on the this page?<br>

It doesn't necessarily save a lot the first time you use it, but it<br>
makes sorting things out following a channel rescan much easier.<br><br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>I simply change the "visible" flag using the MythWeb channel editor. I also do this for channels that I know I'll never watch so they don't clutter up my guide and search results (seems like every show on the home shopping channels appear as a new series when I do a search). </div>
