The program has been developed entirely in C using the native Win32 API for Windows, without relying on heavy frameworks, embedded browsers, or large third-party libraries. As a result, it delivers fast startup times, instant responsiveness, and extremely low CPU and memory usage, making it suitable for both older and modern computers.

Channels Manager allows users to download channel files from their receiver, edit and organize them locally on the PC, and then upload the modified files back to the device over the network using FTP and receiver connection settings. It also provides a comprehensive set of channel and bouquet management tools that simplify the creation and maintenance of professional channel lists.

Thanks to its lightweight and efficient architecture, Channels Manager delivers excellent performance when handling large channel databases. Files are opened quickly, channel information is displayed instantly, and navigation and searching through thousands of services remain smooth without impacting overall system performance.

Version 1.52 — Online Update

Language files have also been updated.
What's New in This Version
Symbol Rate Tolerance Filter

During channel scanning, the Symbol Rate may not always be detected with its exact standard value. For example, a symbol rate of 27500 may appear as:

27497
27498
27499
27501
27502

Although these values differ slightly, they actually represent the same symbol rate.

To solve this issue, a Symbol Rate Tolerance Filter has been added. It automatically converts values that fall within a configurable tolerance range to the nearest approved standard symbol rate.
How it works

A new option has been added under General Settings:

Show approved symbol rates only

When this option is enabled, the program automatically converts any symbol rate within the configured tolerance range to its corresponding standard value.

Example: With a tolerance of ±5, the following values will automatically be converted to 27500:

27496
27497
27498
27499
27501
27504

Values outside the tolerance range, such as 27506, will remain unchanged unless the tolerance value is increased.

This feature can be enabled or disabled at any time from the settings, and its status is automatically saved in settings.ini.

Quote
Important: The Auto Reload option must be enabled; otherwise, the changes will not be reflected on the receiver.

Alternative Bouquet Numbering

A new Alternative Bouquet Numbering feature has been added, allowing each Bouquet to have its own independent channel numbering starting from 1, instead of using continuous numbering across all bouquets.

This feature is optional and can be enabled or disabled at any time through the Options menu, according to the user's preference.
Bouquet Copy, Cut & Paste Support

Full support has been added for the following bouquet operations:

Copy Bouquets
Cut Bouquets
Paste Bouquets

This makes bouquet organization and management much faster, easier, and more flexible while preserving their structure and order.
Data & Backup Folder Reorganization

The data folder, where channel and satellite files are stored, has been reorganized to provide a cleaner and more manageable directory structure.

The Backup folder has also been reorganized and improved, making backup files easier to access and restore.

In addition, the program now automatically creates a backup before every save or modification operation, helping prevent accidental data loss and allowing users to restore their previous files whenever necessary.
General Improvements

Updated language files.
Various code improvements and optimizations to enhance stability, performance, and the overall efficiency of the program.
