Loving the new collections feature! However, with hundreds of channels to scroll/search through, it can be a bit tedious to add them one-by-one. I would love if collections worked more like "Manage Lineup" and I could quickly go through and put a check mark next to every channel I want in the collection.

You can just hold down the CNTL key when clicking on the channels to select multiple ones.
100% agree with the OP.
For some real fun, try setting up channel collections on a Surface Pro in tablet mode.
BTW, you don't need to use the ctrl key to select multiple channels.
Thanks for the tip on multiple selections. So I think what's really hampering me is that the search gets cleared every time I click another channel. So for example, if I want to make a collection of all the CBSNews local channels, I'll search for CBSNews, click on the first result, and then it immediately jumps back to the full channel list. I'd rather it retained the filter until I'm ready to clear it.
I could scroll down to CBSNews and then select multiple, but I think the layout of the form (only a few channels visible at a time) compels me to gravitate to the Search. I think the simple checkbox type list where you can see like 50 channels at once is more intuitive.
For a real fun time, try it on a Surface Pro. Every time you select a channel the onscreen keyboard pops up and gets in the way.
