Only showing 3 satellites : How to add more ?

[bertie40]

I suspect this has a really simple answer, but damned if I can understand this.

 

I have purchased/installed the program, and the channel listing has given me 3 satellites. (Astra/Hotbird/Eurobird)

 

The channel Listing box box not look like the one in the help file.

 

 

Q. How do I add Thor at 4.8E ?

 

 

I tried importing the transponder list from the Transponders directory, but nothing happens.

 

(Using a motorised dish. Efforts to use Usals have failed (so far) so I am using my main receiver (Manhattan) to move it).

 

I am able to receive channels on the Transponders mentioned above.

 

 

Using a Technotrend with Win 7 64bit.

 

 

Please help.

 

Cheers.

The channel list in the installation packet is provided by the developers. They can't receive all possible satellites on the clarke belt

 

You either have to look for ready to use lists provided by other users or perform a channel scan using a corresponding transponder.ini. For the latter I recommend TransEdit. The result has to be exported to the DVBViewer.

Ah.

Right.

 

Install Transedit.

select the satellite

Do a SCAN All

Button "Export to File"

Save the file to ie., your desktop

Open DVBViewer

Channel/Channel List/Channel Editor

Button (bottom left hand corner) or Right click in the left pane

"Import"

Select your downloaded file as obtained above.

Voila.

 

 

 

Thanks.

..export to file is only necessary if you want to keep this scan for later use. Select all -> Add/Update will add all (new) channels to the DVBViewer's channnel list

Thanks Guys.

 

It was getting that extra satellite into the main DVBViewer program in the first place, that was my sticking point.

Or just get a compltete transponder list from fastsatfinder and install it. Up to date as of Jan 15 2011.
