No I don't want it to show on mobile
You could have a separate renderer for the channel (could make sense for blocks), and just not render anything. But this is not so much a technical question, it is more conceptual. Would you rather return 404 for the page if requested on mobile?
Display Channels let you vary rendering - if you want. It does not have to, but you need to think what you would do instead.

I see. Yes, pages doesn't make sense at all. I didn't really think that through. I'm just trying to understand how I can use channels to make a mobileversion lighter. Maybe I have a few web-specific blocktypes that I never want to render on a mobile?

If you don't want the block to render, create a renderer for it, but keep it empty. For 7.1, you can also use personalization to do this, as you can use visitor groups on blocks.

Hi,
Haven't had much time to look at EPiServer 7, but I have started experimenting with display channels and blocks a bit.
I have a question concerning rendering.
If I have a block or page containing something and I only want it to be displayed/rendered in a certain channel.
As an example;
I don't want a block or page to be rendered if surfing the site on a mobile phone?
Is it possible? How would I do that?
I know I can have diffrent templates for diffrent channels, but what if I don't want it to render at all on a mobile phone?
:-)
