Yes. It's really problematic with the freebox. The best way to do it would
be to have free to use something like "real" way to announce its channels
(UPnP, bonjour...). This would prevent us from doing such a work around.

The soundest solution from a technical point of view, would be to remove it
altogether and wait for free.fr to fix it. If that ever happen.

I however like and use the feature :/ for poor users like me an option would
be nice.

Pierre.
