The satellite list manager manages the satellites and transponders available for
SI scanning and in tuning dialog box. The satellite list manager main dialog box
is shown below.
Note
Before you can use the application, you must configure at least one satellite here.
Enter the name of the new satellite, i.e. 'Astra 28E' (without quotes) and press
Add satellite button. This will add the satellite to the list. To edit the properties
of the added satellite follow instructions in Editing
existing satellite.
Note
After adding one or more satellites, these must be configured with regards to LNB/DiSEqC.
Editing existing satellite
To edit a satellite double-click on the satellite to edit in the satellite list.
This will open the transponder list dialog.
The transponder list dialog is shown below.
In the transponder list dialog you can:
-
Add transponders
-
Delete transponders
To add a transponder fill in the parameters in the dialog and press Add button.
NID and TSID should be the values for the transport stream on the transponder. You
don't have to enter the correct values, since these will be corrected when you run
NIT update/cleanup. It is however
important to enter a unique combination not already in the list.
To delete one or more transponders select the transponder(s) in the list and press
delete button.
To edit an existing transponder click on to select it. Edit the required parameters
and press Add/update button.
Note
If the NID and/or TSID values are changed this will add a new transponder or change
an existing transponder other than the selected one.
Importing satellite settings
This will allow you to import transponder INI files. The software that came bundled
with your device might include transponder INI files. Otherwise transponder INI
files can be downloaded from various sources.
Press browse button and navigate to folder containing transponder INI files. Now
you should get a list of satellites. Select the satellites you want to import and
press import button.
Note
After importing one or more satellites, these must be configured with regards to
LNB/DiSEqC before they can be used by the application.
Exporting satellite settings
This will allow you to export satellite/transponder settings to transponder INI
files.
Use browse button to navigate to folder where exported files should be saved. Select
the satellites to be exporter and press export button.
Note
Export will possibly overwrite existing files in selected folder.
This operation will perform following tasks:
-
NIT Update, finding new transponders from NIT in transponders already in list.
-
Correct NID/TSID, making sure that NID and TSID values in transponders are correct.
-
Remove dead transponders, removing transponders from list that cannot be tuned on.
Select the satellites on which you want to perform the operations and select the
required operation(s) and press start button.
Note
This can be a lengthy operation.
