    The satellites are stored in the satellites.xml file.

    On the DM500 it's stored in /share/tuxbox but it will be somewhere else on teh DM600, maybe /etc/tuxbox.

    Edit it on your PC with a unix editor (I use UltraEdit) and add your satellite.

    You might not be able to copy it back to /etc/tuxbox as it might be read-only and I'm not sure where it will go as I've not got a DM600 so hopefully one of the other guys will confirm that for me.

    You could try adding the sat manually by doing

    press menu
    setup
    sat config
    highlight 10.0W and press the red button to erase it
    press the yellow button, a new box will appear at the bottom with a random satellite in it
    press ok
    scroll down to 9.0W
    press ok
    press green to save
    press exit
    go down to auto transponder scan
    press ok
    now in the list you should have 9.0W, highlight it and press ok
    wait for a transponder lock
    press green to scan
