Channel Master and LZMD data extractor?

[Robz]

I have the PVR800 Sathawk receiver. I am trying to decode the Sathawk PVR800 USB -> TP_PROG.abs channel data. I Know LZMA.exe decodes the channel data. The command prompt line (%windir%\system32\cmd.exe) is: LZMA d infile outfile -lc0 -lp2. Unfortuniately, it doen't work. Any one know what I am doing wrong?
Help is greatly appreciated.

What exactly are you trying to do? Do you want to edit the data or do you want to understand the format?

There is an Ali-Editor for the SatHawk/Solomend/Openbox S9 that works well. Search for "PVR-800 Editor" on here or you can find it on Sadoun's website.
Alternately, SetEdit has a compatible editor that works, but isn't free and is limited in how many channels per transponder it will allow.

Thank you for your reply.



My objective is to upload the "List" to my SatHawk PVR800.
While the ChannelMaster editor does a good job showing the contents of the
"List", there doesn't seem to be a compatible CM->PVR800 upload format
for the PVR800. Likewise, the PVR-800 Editor works ok for limited editing, but no
way to import the "List" in bulk. I have tried the sdx format, but results
in many format errors.



I successfully wrote a Delphi program to convert the “List” to “ini” using
Microsoft’s XML DLL (I forgot the exact name) and hopefully I can find
information to do the same for the PVR800 channel data file.

Are you saying you got the Channel MASTER from Sharpc to work with the Openbox type receiver? If so please let me know.

The short answer is no. I have tried compatible formats such as "ini" and "sdk"; but failed. Only the AZ box editor for the PVR 800 worked, but only good for small manual edits.
