Right this little tutorial just shows you how to update your satellites.xml if its outdated and needs updating.
Now theres a couple of ways you will be told to do this but ill show you the way most of us are doing it now so you can be kept up-to-date too..
Firstly you need to download an up-to-date satellites.xml which can be downloaded from the link below. Just go and select the satellites you want and download it at the bottom of the page
http://satellites-xml.org/
Once you have downloaded your file you now need to ftp the file to the following directory on your box
etc/enigma2
Once that is done you need to Restart Enigma before you can use the new file to scan
Menu/Standy-Restart/Restart enigma
Once the box has come back on you can now go ahead and scan your satellites and update the outdated channels
Now some of you might be wondering "Why use etc/enigma2 and not etc/tuxbox...?"
Short explanation,
The image comes with a built-in satellites.xml, located in etc/tuxbox. This is a system-file and is being updated as soon as an online update of the image is carried out. Also there could be a possibility the file in this location maybe overwritten by the system.
You can also use a customised satellites.xml, placed in etc/enigma2. If one is available here, it takes priority over the system-file in etc/tuxbox. If this one is messed up, it can be deleted and the system-file will take over immediately (after an E2-restart).
Any questions pplease dont hesitate to ask
