Channelmaster (the channel editing program)

[Mr Tony]

never tried it drhydro. I'll check tonight (maybe..I have to repoint a dish for someone)

thats a good idea as all my 1.2 settings are full right now and I have 3 DBS birds to aim for

Thanks Iceberg, looking forward to hearing your results when you have a chance to get around to it.

I checked last night on Channelmaster and each satellite that I have selected for Diseqc 1.2 shows position "0"

conversley, my Coolsat shows position "1", "2", etc for each satellite I stored. I'll look a little more this weekend and might try something with the Pansat 1500 (see if I can override those)

ya.. Channel Master is a good chit

Iceberg,
Will channelmaster allow you to rename and use the "default" 1.2 sat positions in the pansat? The ones that you cannot save a sat position to.
Thanks in advance....

I was able to do it in GTools. I had terrible luck with CM corrupting the sat / transponders lists on my Pansat 3500s. Be carefull that you don't wipe the skew settings. CM wouldnt' let me set a negative skew value (for +45 / -45) after it zeroed them. CM may have been updated since I messed with it and my problems may have been specific to the 3500s but you can read about the fun I had here:

The channel list (well it's really just the sats) I attached might be helpfull for you.

It's bundled in the 3500s firmware download from Pansatusa.com. It might be locked to 'just' the 3500s, but I noticed that the file seems identical to what's bundled with the 2700 firmware. I've split it off and attached it:

[Mr Tony]

thanks Shawn

With the 1500 unplugged from my setup, I'll monkey with that unit BEFORE I try to do it to the 6000

Speaking of channels, I'm just curious if this program (Channel Master) can be used to upload lists (.bin) into a Microyal FTA that is already set up for DN as we speak but I cant change anything and a few channels have moved TP like DIY and a few porns and I'd like to Edit the necessary changes.

**sigh** some people just can’t read

I’ll say it slow…… WE ARE NOT A HACK SITE. ASKING HOW TO ASK (OR IN THIS CASE ADMITTING YOU HACK) WILL GET YOU BANNED

[John Popper]

thanks TDS, will try it out once I figure how to connect the coolsat to one of my computers, at least all of my laptops do not have the input, I think one of my old desktops might come handy for this

I'm in the same boat. Bought a crappy computer just for Channelmaster

Im glad to help. I use this with the import function with my Coolsat, quicker than importing with the coolsat loader.
