I should clarify. There is no visible .udf file on my S9 box when I either dump files via USB or transfer via the S9 network connection. I am not able to connect to its RS-232 connector. TP_PROG.dbs contains all user satellite data and tp channel data. Yes, my editor can download .udf, .ddf, .abs files, but these are not visible when transferring via USB or network connection. Anyway, my editor is able to edit all fields fine unlike those complaining some fields are grey. So I have no reason to change my method of editing. I particularly like downloading and uploading via the network; a lot more convenient than using either USB or RS-232 ports.
