I don't understand the whole thread at all. But the last you said sounds good. 
First it is good to "blend out" (ausblenden) some channels (as you mentioned 
the other 18 channels) otherwise it would be cool to have different "user" 
one for radio/ one for TV for instance, or for  different "really user". 
If I understood sth. wrong or if I'm OT please excuse me.
