6. Edit the channellist
What is a bouquet?
A bouquet can be thought of something like a folder. Every channel equals a page in this
folder and the pages are sorted into categories.
This way you can create a bouquet called “Kids”, for example, under which you “file” all
childern’s stations. Another example would be to create a bouquet called „Sports“ where you
put all sports channels. This way you can create several topic related bouquets.
Note: You can only delete channels in the favorites view!
You cannot delete the channels in the “All” view. The use of the “All” view is to keep an
internal list of all available stations. If you start a new channel search the result would be
saved to the “All” view for example. You favorites bouquet will stay untouched. This way you
can easily add newly found channels from the “”All” list to your favorites bouquet. To see how
it is done refer to section 6.2.
