    How to create a channel list for Openbox/Skybox S9, S10, S11, S12, M3, X3,F3, F4 & F5

    I am putting up a video to show people how to create or modify an existing channel list that they have or one that
    they want to create from scratch. The channel lists used in the video can be found in the following locations if
    you wish to use them for your own base lists.

    Unfortunately the video was slightly too big for maximum zip size to upload to Digital Kaos so I have had to upload to an alternate site :
    Zippyshare.com (Size 37mb)

    The software & Blank base channel list shown in the video can be found below:

    Excellent tutorial Sattv5, save me asking a lot of questions...

    one thing though, when i update the channel lists the favourite heading stay as group1,2,3 etc, how do i get them to change to what you have them name as without having to manually rename each one?? im using skybox f5....

    I would like to take time to thank you for your excellent tutorial ( video ) and supplying the relevant software to teach & learn how to maintain the channel listings. I my self are new to this but computing & programming is my thing and i found this very rewarding as i learned how to do it instantly and you have answered many questions on how to. Thanks and keep up the good work, much appreciated

    Dpool,,,reset box back to factory settings, do not tick any boxes when asked to do so, eg CCcam.cfg. when box reboots you will have all the named groups.

    thanks for that, must try it later and report back, one thing though if i factory reset can i then install the last firmware again or just leave it at the default firmware (its just there are some changes e.g. youtube update on the lastest firmware...

    Also if i factory reset will i have to install my channel list and subscription line again?

    For those wishing to use MediaBoxEditor Studio then I did a thread here on how to import/export most openbox/skybox channel lists.
