Can You Merge Two Sat Files?

[Pixl]

I have two Openbox S-9's, one for Ku and one for C-band. I would like to put everything on one receiver and use the other box for something else. Can I merge the Ku sats onto the C-band receiver with out having to key in all that info manually on an editor?

Do you have the setedit channel editor?

[dr.zin]

there was a setedit for openbox,v126 I believe
never tried opening 2 files at once tho.

I've never heard of Setedit.
I have the pvr800 editor only.
Do you think it can be done with Setedit?

[dr.zin]

the ideal way would be to copy/paste the C band sats say into the list that had the ku band or vice versa.
I couldn't get setedit to do that.The closest I could get is copy/paste channels one at a time but the flaw is the sat has to have at least 1 channel already,which it wouldn't.I couldn't paste to an empty sat.One channel at a time would take forever anyway.
I may look at the .udf file with a hex editor to see if anything can be done that way.

[dr.zin]

I don't have any examples of sat lists with just C band.
Mine are just Ku.

The pvr 800 editor is too weak to do much of anything. But what do you expect for free?

SetEdit allows you to do several things, but it costs money. I have three different versions of SETEdit which allows me to transfer files easily between the different brands of receivers. It saves me a lot of time.

Upload your two sat files that you would like to merge and I will see what SetEdit can do to them. EB

you can drag and drop tp's between sats in the same list,but not between 2 lists.(setedit v126)

I'm interested in trying out setedit. Where should I buy it and how much $.
I Googled setedit found a site doesn't really say it is for satellite editing. What is it supposed to be used for and is there a support forum somewhere. Looks kinda complicated.

Most people do not bother to read the instructions which are attached.

To do what you want to do, simply open two instances of Setedit and put them side by side on the computer screen. Then drag the entire satellite of one file to the other file. Doing this should drag the channels and the transponders from one satellite file into the other satellite file without erasing anything. This worked for me on a couple of satellite files that I tried it on, but they were not loaded with channels. I am not running any Openbox at the moment to generate two channel files and check it, but it should work.
