I use an m3u URL for my IPTV cannels. This URL contains thousands of unwanted channels, and I use only 145 of them by selecting (ticking) the channels I want when I import from the larger list in the IPTV Device. So far so good.

When one or more channel URLs change and I need to update them, I go to the IPTV Device and hit Update Channels. It downloads the latest channel list from the m3u URL and presents the list with all the thousands of channels selected (ticked). My IPTV provider does not use channel groups. I then have to unselect all the channels and go through the thousands of channels to re-select one by one the 145 channels that I need updated. This is very tedious and frustrating !!

Can you add an option:
where I can select with one click the channels that are in my existing list from the list of all channels from the newly downloaded m3u URL.
or 
where only the existing list of channels are preselected in list of all channels from the newly downloaded m3u URL.

Either of these options would be immensely helpful. Thanks !!

It's a little weird illogical sounding but...from memory, after scanning, if you untick all channels and hit ok, it will update any urls of the same name which are already in your database.

(ie, not ticking the existing channels won't delete those channels...and it just happens I update the existing channel urls if they've changed when you hit ok, along with adding any new channels you ticked)

OK Thanks. The behavior you describe is surely not intuitive from the UI - but will work for me. Can I suggest adding the documentation of this behavior and any other details on how the updates happen in the "Update Channels" Wiki section. Thanks for NextPVR. It is very useful.

I had the same thing... I use xTeve to import the iptv channels in and then set my own filters to then make my own m3u which I import in to NextPVR
