I have used the channel editor to back up channels as shown in this forum; all appears to have worked in that I have an ssu editable file. but on checking the channels on 28.2E it looks to me like channels are missing? in particular BBC & ITV regional channels?
when I see the channels on the 6000 HD I can see multiples of the same channel too - but this is not replicated on the channel editor ? and as said not only are there not multiples of the same channel these channels don't appear on the editor? such as BBC 1?

I have a motorised set up 45e to 12w, if this is relevant?

any ideas?

I have just checked this way and can confirm that the channel im currently watching 28.2E channel 5 on tp 10964 does NOT appear in the channel list. in addition that transponder is red in the left hand side where I would expect it to be black and to show that channel and other channels on the tp?

Hi johngo

Can you be more specific on which channels/freqs you are missing?

Im seeing 17 ITV Channels and 21 various BBC 1 Channels

try using Tools>Sort>Satellite-Name in the program, are the channels you are looking for there?

I also see 5 x "Channel 5" on this TP through the Editor

HI Johngo,

I installed your SSU file on my box, can you please try the following:

Receiver:
(whilst viewing a channel, press OK to get the channel list, press yellow(Satellite), navigate to Astra2A, press OK, press green(Search) and enter ITV or BBC)
I searched on Astra2A(28.2E) for ITV through the remote control and got 43 TV Channels
I searched on Astra2A(28.2E) for BBC through the remote control and got 32 TV Channels

Channel Editor:
I clicked on Astra2A(28.2E) on the Editor and searched ITV, i got 43 TV Channels (the search function is a little buggy but it works :))
I clicked on Astra2A(28.2E) on the Editor and searched BBC, i got 32 TV Channels (the search function is a little buggy but it works :))

Do you get the same results on the SSU file posted above???

If not, can you do a factory reset and try again(menu>System Settings>Factory Settings, pass code "0000"), re-upload yoour channel list and see if you get 43 ITV & 32 BBC channels?

And if Dave d can try the same that would be great :)

Bizarrely I opened the file in the editor this morning and I was able to see all of the correct channels. Upon editing the file ( to remove the channels I don’t want) I “lost” those original channels – no idea what happened.

I then decided to start from scratch again (using the file I posted originally) and I now can’t see the channels that I originally couldn’t.

I have subsequently shut my PC down and restarted the editor and I still can’t find (eg channel 5 on TP 10964 ).

So now it looks like I’m back to square one only I know that the file editor did see the missing channels and now doesn’t… I’ll keep trying to see if I can attempt to find out what is going wrong here?

Hi johngo,

I was playing around last night and could not re-produce your problem :(

Have you tried any of the sorting options to see if the channels appear? maybe it is not being loaded into table correctly?

You could also try and unininstall/install the .Net Framework Client Profile to see if this helps, the file is located here if you want a clean download

Hi Superstarmac,
I have an update; I reformatted the SD card using the slow method on the PC , it was in FAT32 but I redid it the slow way and kept to FAT32. The file and file size of the ssu file which came from the Spiderbox channels looked exactly the same before and after BUT I am now able to see all channels correctly!. now off to actually use the editor.
I cant see the reason that its now working but it is, for now. many thanks for your suggestions and help.
cheers,
John
