Suggestions for Live TV Channel Management?

Thanks Rob. That's actually very encouraging. I'll drop the provider's XML and try the DirectTV setup.

 EPG data from your provider, as in my experience its c.r.a.p  

Provider EPG data being crap is pretty much a universal truth 

Another option for guide data along with a way to manicure your providers channels into something useful can be found in this thread

Is the emby EPG that bad? I find it really good! Has all the episode data and everything. 

No.  Emby EPG is very good.  When you're working with an IPTV Provider that offers several thousand channels, it can be time consuming to associate the guide data with the channel, upgrade the channel icon provided to color, categorize the channels the way you want them, & order the channel numbers.  A m3u editor makes quick work of this.

Is there any way to select a channel when setting up Emby channel order and move it to the top of the channel list quickly? Drag and drop is great but dragging channel 4000 and scrolling to the top if the list to drop it takes FOREVER.
