Re: rename satellite

Do you mean renaming it In your channel list?
I'm sure you could do it that in dreambox edit.

Hello mate

Use DreamboxEdit.
With this program you can edit everything you want.
Just rename Astra 28 to what you want and make also any change in bouquets or channels.

I use tuner a on motor and tuner b on fixed 28 east is works a treat if I am understanding what you want to do. It seems to do everything I need but if you can give more detail I would be pleased to help.

Re: rename satellite

hi what i am trying to explain is i have sky28 on a fixed dish,sometimes when the weather is bad i get picture breakup, so i want to set up sky28 on my motor setup but when i download sky28 and try to whatch it off my motor which is tuner b it keeps on going to tuner a wich is my fixed dish, so thats why i thought if i renamed it then i would be able to watch it on tuner b which would be my backup hope this explaines it better.

Re: rename satellite

Try to edit satellites.xml with Notepad++.
Copy all settings for Astra 28.2E satellite and paste below.
Rename new satellite as you wish and correct postion( 283 or something similar).
First Astra is for fixed dish, and second Astra is for motor dish.
You need to scan channels on motor dish on second Astra.
It maybe work.
Don't forget to backup original satellite.xml in case on any problem...

Here is example:

Hi Rob don't know what image you are on but I remember that on some images in the setup menu to give a preferred tuner priority, it might work, the other thing I do is set a recording on a different channel 28 east and then the motor will move to 28 east to view the other channel a bit messy but does work.

Re: rename satellite

hi nml i am using open vix3. last night i set my timer on my fixed dish then when it came on to record my motor moved to astra28 and i could watch any channel, and on my info bar it read tuner a and b, but when i try to watch it off my motor it always goes to tuner a thats why i was trying to change the name on my motor setup.

I am sure that this is still on vix images.

Go to
Main Menu...Setup....System....Customise.
Scroll down to preferred tuner and change Tuner and see if that helps.
