How do I manually add a new satellite?

[Alan Rovner]

Hi all I saw references to 65W Ku band in another post and discovered it's not listed in my existing list. I've never added a completely new satellite before. I think there is an XML file but don't know the location or format of the values. I'm running a VU+ Zero 4K with OpenPLi software. Appreciate any suggestions. I may not be able to see that far east but will try.

Thanks, regards,

Well, that's not quite as easy to do as with an appliance receiver, but here's how. I made a post some time ago on exactly how to do it. This was done on an Edision Mio OS, but it should be the same for yours:

Can also install TS-Satellites Editor plugin.But you need a custom satellites xml at /etc/enigma2

I mention that possibility in my post link above on how to do it manually.
