Thanks. Go to Zero would have been more helpful maybe on the next firmware update. Do you know how to enter PID's? I thought the S10 you could do it but I haven't the clue how to do it.
What PIDs are ypou wanting to add? Some sat files have PIDs in them.
You will need the channel editor program because there is no way to add PIDs in the S10 receiver.
Ok, but the only receiver I've ever owned said go to "0" Fortec star Mercury II for example. Which is the only receiver I am familiar. Now I know different.

None at the moment but I read something before I purchased this receiver that you could manual input PID's. : / Guess it was wrong. : /
I have not seen any writing that says the S10 has manual PID entry. The Manhattan has a manual PID feature. Maybe you were reading about it?
You have to use the editor for the S9 and either a USB stick or you have to buy or make yourself a cable, myself I use the cable method.
perhaps.
So far this receiver is garbage. Don't anyone else make the mistake of buying it. It loses the USALS Lat and Long if you power off the unit. Very slow. Annoying moving satellite display stays on way too long after picture is there. Instructions are useless. Figure it out better not looking at the instructions.
Welcome to the hobby! The S9 has been a whole new hobby of its own! Sorry to hear about USALS, I haven't used it. Hang in there...The FW's are rolling out regularly now.
You can hit exit to make the moving dish go away. I think once you get used to it, you'll like it or at least hate it less (after the USALS is fixed).

I will agree you as it has it's issues, the manual is a waste of time, myself I never turn my any of my boxes off and for the price I can live with them, because they all seem to have some problem whether it be software or hardware.so you have to decide on how much money you want to spend for problems.
Well I don't want to come home one day and see the house burnt down because of my new $121 FTA receiver caught fire. : /
Just did a firmware update seems to make the blind-scan a little faster. The 7/31 firmware made my dish not move. So I put the one before that and it works. You can add transponders but can't edit pids. I'm still gonna get the new receiver from AV Satellite when it comes out later this fall. Hopefully it will have a decent instruction book. lol
Yeah but its slow to responding to my commands. Also, another issue when you move motor to reference it never tells you whether you're there or not. I can see my dish out the window but if someone had it on the roof they would have to go outside. It should say when its done moving. : /
Where can I find instructions on how to do that. I have a cable somewhere around here from my Fortec Star is that the sort of cable I need?
Go to the files section here at SG and get the S9 editor. Run it and load the hds2 dump.abs file and select user database. You'll figure out the program from there I think. Then save the file and load it to the S9 with USB.
Double clicking a channel in the editor brings up its properties and you can edit PIDs there.
Of course you have to dump the image file from the box to USB.
You can dump misc files. Dump the tp prog.dbs.
Rename it to .abs and edit it as above.
Rename it to .dbs and load it via USB.
USB is easier than cable.

So basically you take the file from the receiver and edit it using the software on the computer then install that same software back onto the receiver? Don't sound too hard.
Using the newer editor, you don't even have to do any file renaming.
Sounds easy yet I'm lost. link the exact file.
The one's I get say open script file *.ini but I don't know which file that would be. Then I downloaded channel master but when I open the file it don't show any satellites I have programed in the receiver.
