Anyone with a satellite dish will have something on that order I suspect. 
My old Nokia 9902, the predecessor recorder, had about 3500 channels since

I have not experimented with invisible/deleting channels, but I suspect the 
next scan will obliterate any changes I do.  Editing thousands of channels 
using the GUI is also not something I'd look forward to :-)
