The Samsung Channel Editor is a built-in feature on Samsung Smart TVs designed to clean up clutter and rearrange your live television guide. It gives you direct control over standard over-the-air antenna channels and integrated streaming guides like Samsung TV Plus. Rather than scrolling through hundreds of unwanted or duplicate programs, this tool allows you to streamline your viewing experience directly using your remote control. Key Capabilities of Channel Editor
Delete Channels: Remove junk, low-signal, or duplicated channels permanently from your active guide view.
Lock/Unlock Channels: Secure specific networks using your 4-digit TV PIN to keep them hidden from children.
Reorder/Swap Numbers: Rearrange channel positions to place your most-watched networks at the very top of the guide.
Build Favorites Lists: Group up to five distinct favorite lists so different family members can jump straight to their preferred content. How to Access and Use the Built-In Editor
You can access the editor directly through your TV’s operating system interface:
Open the Channel List: Press and hold the Channel toggle button on your Samsung remote for more than one second. Alternatively, navigate to Live TV from your home hub and select Channel List.
Enter Edit Mode: Select Edit Channels located at the bottom or left side of your screen menu.
Modify Your Lineup: Highlight a channel to delete, lock, or reorder. Use the on-screen options like Change Number or Swap if your specific model supports numerical reordering.
Save Your Layout: Always navigate to Save and Exit before closing out to ensure your customized guide layout is preserved. Third-Party PC Alternatives
If editing hundreds of channels using a standard remote control feels too tedious, you can export your channel list onto a USB storage drive from your TV’s broadcasting settings. You can then manage the files on a computer using free community utilities:
ChanSort: A widely trusted open-source PC application that lets you drag, drop, rename, and sort your entire channel layout on a computer before re-importing it to your Samsung TV.
SamyCHAN: A dedicated sorting tool built specifically for older legacy legacy layouts (D through K series).
