Permanently Remove Non-English Channels? (Buzz XPL)

[gaz_0001]

Hi,
I recently signed up for Rocket.

I am using a BuzzTV XPL3000 and the built in LiveTV app.

I noticed that the channel list is mixed up.
Largely English with a lot of Spanish randomly thrown in there.

Anyone know if it's possible to remove the Spanish channels.
Since I don't speak Spanish, it's essentially just unwanted noise for me, and it is generally bringing the whole experience down.

Cheers

only one way to remove channels and that is to use a hard copy of the server's m3u playlist.
Open that copy thru Notepad and do your editing.

It will be a huge undertaking, so good luck on your completion
I could help with that, but only if you are willing to follow thru, as it will be a huge learning curve.


but....
The channel list is not mixed up, not really.
Have another look.
There is organization with them channels, you would just have to broaden your field of view to see it

Thanks for the suggestion crazed, but I absolutely don't have that level of commitment.
I was hoping for the click of a button or perhaps a server side solution.

Never mind
Thanks again.

Would it not be easier to use a text editor, just look for your english strings and save as your new playlist?
It`s been a really long time since I played with anything like this so I might be a bit off track.

Anybody with experience with the latter program willing to take the reins?
Been awhile since I played, would be nice for a push in the right direction.
Thank you in advance

I use simple Notepad Editor.
That way you do everything on your desktop and no need to log in on to a third party site with your code.

Notepad you can do all editing right there on a text doc (.m3u file).
It can be tiresome with these long long Playlists, but you can shorten up the process by deleting or first moving the VODs off the main list and then reduce your list by removing large groupings of channel unwanted and then with that final list, go thru it and fine tune.

I have done a huge amount of work with only using the Notepad editor on Windows.

Editing and sorting LiveTV channels is easy enough and only so much needs to be done (as described above).
But remember that with these edited copies, if the server adds LiveTV channels or removes them or arranges them differently, then you'd also have to do the editing on your lists.
You can use the supplied EPG URL links with these edited LiveTV lists.

I have also created many separate VODs lists.
For instance, one has only the Academy Award winning movies, starting from when they started the award back in the 1920's or something..
One has a huge selection of actors and their movies categorized. One is sorted by genre. And etc.. etc...
I done all this work with only using NotePad.

I found out by trial and error not to use Wordpad Editor. That Editor will delete some of your work you did in editing, not all editing but some it will delete or not recognize.

With these VODs Playlists I can share.But you would have to open with Editor and do some Adding and Replacing (your private code would need to be added).
That can all be done thru the Notepad editor with some ease.

What I have not done with these Playlists is add the media-data to them (thats the individual movie descriptions and synopses).
I have never learned how to do that, not yet anyway
Shooty knows how to do that

I did have a large amount of info posted here on site, but had removed it awhile ago due to covid... lol, I am kidding about the covid thing... I just could not help myself but put the blame on covid , due to covid

If I get some requests for these VOD playlists, maybe I will post them for you guys and gals. Or maybe thru private messages we could get these Playlists to those that want them
Send me a PM if wanted

I am a little behind with the new additions added to the VOD selections but I am catching up... well not really, as every time I seem to be getting close to caught up, there are a 100 or 100s more new additions to go thru and add to excisting lists

It's like that guy in my avatar ... lol

Y can't the Channels bee put into a "Favorite(s)" Section/Folder so any1 can put in what-ever any1 wants to view instead of going thru and Deleting the ones any1 doesn't want to view...?!?

One could/should/would Think it would bee easier Keeping 50 Channels in another location inside the STB than Deleting up to and maybe over 250 channels One doesn't want to see...?!?

If you don't speak Spanish don't watch Spanish speaking channels simple solution

There are other simple solutions which relate to other boxes which cater to specific languages......Arabic, Russian, Chinese, Korean.....which only show channel listings in those specific languages. Oddly enough, some of those boxes have become International choices which are basically the same box providing different programming in various operating systems and they can be ordered in any available language. Aliexpress refers to their products as "Global versions" ?
