What is a good editor for the Glorystar DVR1100c

[Lassar]

I have a Glorystar DVR1100c in advanced mode. I have tried using Channel Master on the channel list.

When I load the channels in Channel Master, they load in the wrong order.

I have tried this editor before. Got the channels in the order I wanted. Reload them into the receiver.

And behold they are in the wrong order. What gives !??

Is there some other editor that works better on the Glorystar DVR1100c ?

I want a editor that leaves my channel order in the same order as in the receiver.

Channel Master is probably the best editing program ever produced for FTA and use it daily and flawlessly with the GEOSATpro DSR200 / DVR1100 receivers.

Could you post or PM examples of both the original and edited files? Might be able to determine the error.

Lassar I experienced the same problem with Channel Master when loading the channel list back in to the DVR1100 they are all out of order. I even loaded the Glorystar list in Channel Master and did not modify it in any way--reloaded it in the DVR1100 and the channel list was out of order. Basically if there is a skip in the channel numbers it moves the channel so there are numbered sequentially with out any skips.

Channel Master rocks. Use it on most of my receivers :)

Without any files to inspect, I will make a suggestion of what I believe is causing the channels to be out of order after reloading from Channel Master.

On the left side of the channel list pane in the Channel Master window, there is a column "No.[Order]". When Channel Master imports the Satellite/Transponder/Channel file, the TV channel numbers are listed first then the Radio channels are listed below. You will note that Channel Master default first sorts the channels by transponder and then by TV/Radio. This creates a list with channel number gaps between the channels. If this file is exported back to the STB, the channels order will not be correct.

The channel list needs to be edited to display sequential channel numbers in the "No.[Order]" column. Start first with the TV channels (starting with zero) then to the radio. The file will export to the STB and display correctly.

Sorry about being so late getting back to you guys.

Here is the glorystar channel data.

No wonder the list is out of order when exporting to the receiver. The channel order problem is as described in the previous post. Some channels have no number assignments and other have gaps. Seems that some channels are saved as TV when they actually are radio. Would appear that there will be some clean-up of the list if you wish the channels to display in a specific order.

I forgot how to import the Glorystar DVR1100c Satellite list in to Channel Master. I tried but can seem to get it in. I am using Version 1.20.3

I forgot how to import the Glorystar DVR1100c Satellite list in to Channel Master.

Import and Export Wizard as Conaxsat file type.

[Gary Z]

Strange Conaxsat is not listed in the wizard. Is Version 1.20.3 the latest?

[SatelliteAV]

Here are a few steps that were developed for Channel Master newbies a few years back.

Open OPTIONS tab
Open PLUGINS tab
Enable Conaxsat plug-in
Exit and open the IMPORT option under the FILE tab and select Conaxsat
Use the Mini/Duo/Trio option for GEOSATpro DSR200c and DVR1100c models

There was a bug reported several years ago with Conaxsat receiver type missing in the list under the FILE/IMPORT tab after the plug-in was enabled. To correct, uninstall the Channel Master and reinstall it and enable Conaxsat plug-in.

[Gary Z]

I followed the directions Brian but there is no Conaxsat plug-in under the plugin tab.

[SatelliteAV]

I use V1.20.3 and it definitely has the Conaxsat plug-in. Either the CM installer that you downloaded is an incomplete version or it did not install correctly.

[Gary Z]

Thanks for the help. I downloaded another copy and the Conaxsat plug-in showed up this time.

[Gary Z]

Brian.
I am still having problems with the Channel order number-- I have enclosed a picture and the file, maybe you can see what I am doing wrong? In the Picture you can see what I am aiming for.

[SatelliteAV]

No.(order) needs to be 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, etc. Leave the SID as scanned. If you wish to display a different number in the front panel or on the channel banner, edit the channel information and place the channel number that you wish to display in the Teletext field (I.E. 901, etc.)

[Gary Z]

That helped a lot Brian. The channels are in order now but the channel number in the Teletext field is ignored by the STB for some reason and channel numbering starts at 100 and continues sequentially? Any ideas as to what I am doing wrong?

[Gary Z]

Just an update--
When I load the channel list on the STB it loses the Teletext field input for some reason? Any ideas? This is driving me nuts:)

[SatelliteAV]

I will need to confirm. The Teletext field channel assignment may only apply to the STB when in the Glorystar mode and may not be an option in the Advanced mode.

[Gary Z]

That would explain why it is not working.
