Hi does anyone know of a channel program for this receiver? I would like to experiment with it and save my channels on it. This is my main receiver for storing channels.

the 8000 uses a different menu setup than the 4/5/6000's did

Its a Coolsat name but totally different guts inside and the menus arent compatible with the 4/5/6000

My Coolsat 7000 stores channel data in an fdu file which is not viewable in standard text editor. Added: SetEditFDU
