Not sure if this has been asked or where to find the info if possible. 

I have added my iptv providers to nextpvr and selected the channels i would like. 
The channel names have beggings like CA: USA: etc.

I.E 
CA: A&E
CA DTOUR

Is there a way to remove these with in nextpvr and then sort the channels by name?

Thanks

I moved the server under the stairs, plugged everything directly into a cheap unmanaged switch instead of using the built-in ports on my ISP router, and wow... what a difference.
The web interface is snappy, the recordings are clean, and my wife is finally happy that the TV actually works when she wants to watch her shows. It’s not a high-end rack build like some of yours, just an old Dell Optiplex and a couple of tuners, but it's doing the job perfectly.
Next step for me is to figure out a better way to organize my library (the metadata is a bit of a mess right now), but for today, I'm just going to enjoy some glitch-free TV.
Big thanks to everyone who posts guides here, they really helped a lot!

Any suggestions welcome as my wife really needs the subtitles on many shows.]]>

I'm certainly interested and I would prefer I believe DirecTV Streaming for a source if possible.

I'm certainly interested in any other options.

I'm interested in being rid of my CableCARD devices and moving to streaming that would give me 5.1 audio, recording w/com-skip etc.

Any thoughts?
