How can I save the TV and radio stations in my Favorites list for later retrieval (after a clean install for example)

I do not see what you mean.
Can you elaborate?
The goal here is to save my favourites list and recover it, without having to remember which stations were in the list and without having to manually recreate each favourite.
This is a standard function of every program that I know of (either by using a menu or by saving a simple file that contains the favourites).
Where are the favourites stored by ProgDVB?

You must manual backup and extract Channels directory (in ProgDVB data folder). Sorry, ProgDVB not have internal function for that.
ps: What settings you like backup also? I plan this function in future.

You mean the favourites are stored in the file C:\Users\All Users\ProgDVB\Channels\Favorites.tree?
It would be nice if this could be an XML file that can be exported/imported using the File menu.

No! This file only links to Channels.dat. You can backup this file only if you new channels.dat still have this channels.
xml is good format but request more time for read.
