Thread: North American Channel List as of December 31

Folks -- I completed restoring my Premium + the other day and thought I would post a current list of North American channels I scanned in case anyone needs a back-up copy or a head start. I can't upload .dat files, so, if anyone would like me to send tham an email with the files to post as a stickie, please let me know.

Happy New Year!

save it a zip file. Those can be uploaded

Wow, your channel list is very complete. Are you sure you used only your 6ft dish?

Yes -- I'm very lucky in that I live in a rural area in northern VA. I have clear line-of-sight throughout the arc and there's virtually no other RF out there either (even cell towers).

Once one downloads these files and unzips them how does one get them into the AZBox?

I have done firmware upgrades but never figured out anything with the channel lists, the fact I never got a useres manual with the device has not helped in that respect.

Adm,

You need to read the A-Z guide in the stickies at the top of the page. What you are looking for here is the section about how to transfer files using the ACC 1.1 utility. (ACC would be AZBox Control Center). Download the guide and print it out and study it for a few days. It is long, but it contains a LOT of info that you will desire. Stargaze compiled the whole thing and consulted with me and others during his project. Stargaze did an exceptional job with this and I cannot recommend any other source of information. A great deal of the information is a reflection of what we posted right here on this site. Much of it is my own work, so I can assist you with the items that I am familiar with.

Basically, the guide is a condensed and refined version of this AZBox forum discussion. The guide is a MUST HAVE item. You also need to peruse the FAQ section in the FTA area as well. There are posts there regarding switches, motors and dishes that will guide you.

Don't ignore these items. They are good reference sources. Many of us, including myself if I may be so bold to say so, put a lot of work into these documents to assist others. We took the time to compile and write them for you. Please take advantage of them.

Thanks for the link.

Downloaded the files and from my brief perusal of them it appears that in order to do this one will need to have the AzBox connected to a Windows PC on a network. Correct me if I am wrong. If this is the case then I will not be able to do the chgane since I have a Mac running OS 9.2.2 and an older Apple II GS No fancy network between the two files are transfered between them using a zip disc. Interent is only on the Mac adn comes via a wire that is attached to an aerial on my TV tower. Firmware updates I have done have been via the USB drive. Never made any attaepmt to hook the AzBox to the internet since I saw no real need for it.
