How to edit a TCL channel list

1Insert an empty USB stick into your TCL TV
2Settings → Channel → Channel List Transfer / Clone to USB (wording varies by model)
3The TV writes *.tar to the USB stick.
4Plug the stick into your computer and upload the file to ChannelSat — reorder, clean up, add missing channels
5Save the exported file back to the USB stick (replace the original) and import it on the TV: Same menu → Import from USB

Menu names vary by model and firmware version.

Supported files

  • *.tar (clone file with DtvData.db, satellite.db, cloneCRC.bin)

What you can edit

  • Reorder & renumber channels
  • Favourite lists (1)
  • Delete channels
  • Add missing channels (requires a new scan on this TV)

Good to know

  • The CRC inside cloneCRC.bin is recalculated so the TV accepts the file.
  • Only the satellite list is edited when the TV also has cable/terrestrial channels; those stay untouched.
