    Chanel Lists and PVR on the HD800

    Hi folks,

    I one of these little boxes and I'm pretty impressed by it for the price. I am having a bit of trouble setting up favorites groups however.

    The receiver has favorites groups FAV1-FAV8 and I am able to add channels to these groups. In the manual it states that I should be able to rename these favorites groups via the green button but this doesn't seem to work. Has anyone managed to get this to work or anyone know of an editor that can open and update the bin files holding the channel data?

    Also, I was looking to see if this little box would be able to use my NAS drive for the PVR but it doesn't look like I can select anything other than the USB. Has anyone managed this?

    Thanks,
    mcquaim

    Still no joy with this for me..

    I tried using the Spiderbox Channel Editor sofware to open the file databasesys_yyyymmdd_hhmmss.bin and although it can open the file it doesn't seem to be in the exact same format as I'm unable to view the actual channels. I haven't been able to find any other editors that can open these bin files at all either.

    Perhaps somebody else has had better luck than me??

    The channel editor is not released as sic says but once it is it should be the same as spiderbox channel editor

    Hi sic,

    Thanks for the help and another channel list offer

    I had tried to create a list with my remote alright but doesn't seem to work like advertised in the manual. It says you can rename the favourite groups from FAV1-FAV8 to your own groups but that doesn't work.

    Have you managed this?

    Cheers,
    mcquaim

    Hi silverfox,

    You ever get a chance to check this out on your HD800?

    Also, be warned folks if you rescan your satellite it completely wipes all your favourite lists... Learned the hard way myself... I had all my channels I was interested in arranged into the FAV1-8 groups and I noticed I was missing some channels from my initial scan (TCM2..) so I scanned again to realise I'd undone an hours work..

    Going forward not sure how they'll get around this..

    Cheers,
    mcquaim

    sorry had a long week at work been nackered will check this for ya asap

    btw if you do a transponder search instead of a complete search then it apends the new channels to the bottom of the list rather than wiping the lot

    Hi Silverfox,

    Just wondering if you ever got a chance to check if you were able to change the favourite group names?

    I still haven't figured it out, perhaps it isn't possible at all...

    Cheers,
    mcquaim
