HEAD MediaLink ML9700 Twin Tuner HD

[Jo-Jo]

i have just upgraded my box to a HEAD MediaLink ML9700 Twin Tuner HD

i was just wondering before i start to edit my channels to some sort of order are there any channel lists knocking about to get me started ?

i know the openmedia has channel lists and the dreambox does but done a search but find nothing for this box

You will need to edit your own, There,s nothing out there ..i used PolarEditLite 9700 pc editor... alot easier than the remote.

hi thanks for the reply i have downloaded the said software and am eager to get cracking but its in german is it a case of try figure it out or is there an english version knocking about ?

yeah only downside to the box is no channel lists have a mate who has one, the pic quality is fantastic in fairness

[Jo-Jo]

well if i can get this software to work i would provide a full channel list

have found an english version now and from what i can make out is this correct me if i am wrong

on the box backup your channel list to usb and take to the pc and open the channel list with polaredit and then proceed to edit your channel list and the restore to the box ?

is this correct ?

i have tried to backup my channel list to a usb stick but when i got the usb stick on my pc nothing is there but if i browse the usb stick on the box is has a channel list on the usb stick !

any help would be much appreciated thankyou

Press: home>satellite install>channel back up/restore>file path>usb1>sda1>bottom to channel list>press red button....saved channel list should now be in file path>save setting,....power off reciver...remove usb from reciver...insert into pc....edit away


I,v added a not finished 28.2 channels list in sly bouquet order,..
hope this helps

how are you creating the channel list ? with the remote or with software on pc ?

[Jo-Jo]

ok so how do i load the .sta file into polaredit ? is says not a recognised file type

With pc software,....format your usb to fat 32,..EXTRACT THE FILE WITH WINRAR... add the extracted file to usb,then restore with the instructions above

Have you extracted it from winrar achive?

[mept1]

I,m using the german version as this is the only one that works with the twin tuner,....the english editors are for the single tuner

[Jo-Jo]

yes i have the file you have posted but how do i open that file or one i backup with the software ?

even with the german version when i choose to open a file it is asking for a .bin file rather than a .sta file that my box generates after backing up my channel list

p.e i tried your channel list on my box but as you said its incomplete also it only seemd to have settings for 1 tuner

The german version is it the one with the yellow motif lion icon?,.cos i,v just open it no problem,..by clicking on the file top left 3rd across ,then located the file, theres no bin options ,..in files of type at the bottom theres 2 options1 polarEdit9700 sta..str or alle dateien.......and your right it,s set for one tuner,....i will spend more time on it at the weekend setting both up,...
