I got my Premium+ last week. I have all the sats scanned and have the channel list on my computer. All I want to do is edit the channel list, no TP's or sats. I've tried the Maz 3 editor with no luck. If I edit the channels on one sat then move to the next one, when I come back to the first one, lots of the channels I deleted are back and occasionally one that I kept goes missing. I also tried the Azboxedit software, but can't find a way to delete channels. All I want to do is delete unwanted channels, and rename some of the keepers. Tried both my computers, one XP, one Win7. Help!
I have to say, that aside from the additional channels and the fantastic picture, this box is quite a disappointment. So much potential, but so many faults.
GreenTerror,
Don't be disappointed yet. You just haven't had time to learn the rules just yet. This box takes some time to adjust to. It is more advanced than any other FTA receiver you have been accustomed to up to this point. Once you learn how to manage its quirks (and it does have quirks) you will begin to really enjoy it.
First thing you MUST do is read all the "stickies" at the top of the page. You cannot just browse or skim the instructions contained within. You must work at applying them almost word for word. This box is not quite self-explanatory and it is still an infant.... So, some of the things that you may take for granted with other receivers will not apply to this box.
First rule... Do NOT use the remote to manage and edit your satellites and transponders and channels. This is an inherent "glitch" or "frailty" with the AZBox at this time. Use the editor programs as outlined in the A-Z guide.
Read the A-Z Guide for the AZBox in the stickies at the top of this forum page. Stargaze and I have put that information together for you to rely upon to assist you. There is a LOT of information in the A-Z guide. Stargaze has been very diligent to upgrade it and make this manual all-encompassing, so read it thoroughly. The instructions contained within come from many sources and we (StarGaze and I) have supplied much of the information and tested the the rest ourselves. We know that it all works as long as your box is good. If your box has problems, we have some information for that in there, too. Not everything possible could be included as there are things that we have not seen yet or attempted, but up to this point, we have most of it all covered, 99% of the general stuff anyway.
Rely on the A-Z AZBox manual for all your information. It shoud be well up to date as of the last revision that you can detect by the date from by StarGaze. Any additional information beyond his update will be found here in the posts by individuals in discussions. These will eventually be incorporated into the guide as time avails. You won't find a better guide anywhere, I assure you.
Our site has the best information in the individual posts and all the great stuff from those posts has been compiled into the A-Z guide by Stargaze. There are other sites which discuss the AZBox and how to use it, but we investigate them and confer with them and we (all of us) bring the information here. If there is anything NEW it eventually gets filtered, tested and refined and put in the manual.
If you stick here, and read the manual, you will have everything as accurate and as detailed as you can find anywhere! If any information is lacking, it won't be long before it is included.
