Here's how to use the TV Channel Editor for BRAVIA mobile app to edit your TV channel list.

Reorder channels

To reorder channels in the mobile app, follow the steps below:

1. Hold the  drag-and-drop handle, located to the right of the channel name you’d like to move until you feel a vibration.
   • If you hold the handle for too long, you will activate the Multiselect function that allows you to select multiple channels at once (see the “Select multiple channels” section below), but the drag-and-drop feature will not work.
2. While holding the handle, drag the selected channel to its new position (move it up or down).
3. Release the handle to change the channel’s position in the list.
4. Once you’re done editing your channel list, tap the ‘DONE’ button in the bottom left corner of the screen to save changes.

Select multiple channels

To select multiple channels in the app and change their position at once, follow the steps below:

1. Long press and hold one of the channels listed in the app until the Multiselect mode is activated.
2. Tap the channels you wish to select. You know a channel is selected when its colour changes to blue.
3. To move the selected channels all the way to the top/bottom, tap the "Move channels" icon  in the top right corner of the screen. Next, select “To top” or “To bottom” and confirm by tapping “Move”.
   • TIP: You can click the drop-down menu icon  (three vertical dots) in the top right of the screen to see more options (e.g., ‘Select all’ or ‘Deselect all’) while multiple channels are selected.
4. Once you’re done editing your channel list, tap the ‘DONE’ button in the bottom left corner of the screen to save changes.

Manually change Channel positions

You can change the position of a specific channel by manually entering its new position:

1. Tap the channel you wish to move to open the ‘Edit channel’ screen.
2. Under ‘Channel position’, enter a new channel position (e.g., '3').
   • The app will show you which channel is currently saved in the channel position you picked (e.g., ‘Position 3 currently holds: TV4’).
3. You can decide to move channels using either Swap or Insert.
   • Swap trades places between two selected channels (e.g., channel 4 switches positions with channel 3).
   • Insert places the selected channel in the new position and bumps all the other non-locked channels up or down one position.
4. Tap the ‘SAVE’ button in the top right corner of the screen to save the new channel position. 

Delete channels

• To delete an individual channel from the TV channel list:
  1. Tap the channel you wish to delete to open the ‘Edit channel’ screen.
  2. Click the drop-down menu icon  (three vertical dots), then select ‘Delete channel’.
  3. The channel will be deleted from your TV channel list. To get it back, perform another channel scan.
      
• To delete multiple channels from the TV channel list at once:
  1. Long press and hold one of the channels listed in the app until the Multiselect mode is activated.
  2. Tap the channels you wish to select. You know a channel is selected when its colour changes to blue.
  3. Click the drop-down menu icon  (three vertical dots), then select ‘Delete channels’.
  4. The selected channels will be deleted from your TV channel list. To get them back, perform another channel scan.

Confirm the changes you’ve made to your channel list in the mobile app (‘DONE’)

Once you’re done reordering or editing your channel list, tap the ‘DONE’ button in the bottom left corner of the screen to save changes. You can start using your newly sorted channel list as soon as the following ‘Editing is done’ screen appears in the app.
