Openbox question.

[Richo]

Ok, I finally broke down and purchased an Openbox. I guess it is time to put the Mercury II to bed but I'll miss it. The question I have is, is there a way to sort by satellite? Right now the satellites are out of order and the dish swings from one side of the arc then back as I just flip down my channel list. The Mercury would let you sort that way so when just going down, or up, your list the dish would only move a little bit each time.
I do like it so far and found some new stuff I couldn't get on my Mercury. The picture's great and color is nice. Using the HDMI is good too, less wires to run to the flat screen. For the price I think it is a good deal.

Use the ch editor, found in the DOWNLOADS area here: Openbox/Solomend/Sathawk Chnnel Editor - Downloads - SatelliteGuys.US It's also required for entering the PIDS for the channels at 3720 H 26700 on G 17.

You might use the Sat List button, to pick the Satellite you want to go to, instead of the Channellist. That will eliminate the motor swing, anyway.

brentb636, yeah I was thinking of that but sometimes I just like to start at the top of the list and just click away. @ FaT Air, downloaded editor and will play with it this weekend. You also answered my next question about entering PIDS. Thanks for the replies you all make this hobby more enjoyable by your information.
