Custom Channel List

[sikma]

A few months ago after I got my new 2700A, I did the sat. scan, etc. and in particular got all the stuff off G10. I then proceeded to rename almost all the channels, i.e. CBS Virgin Islands, FOX Arkansas, FOX Texas, etc.. my question is, can you somehow copy the list to a floppy for safe keeping in case the receiver loses my channel list, or will I have to just start from scratch (my fingers cramped up from all the remote button pushing)???

sikma, Google for "GTools" or "Channelmaster" software, I don't have a link right now.

Or go to Pansat's web site and download the latest firmware for the 2700, it comes with a channel editor.

Gtools is good for that, like someone mentioned.... in fact, you could have transfered your channels to the computer and used the computer to rename them, and then transfered them back.... much easier than typing names with a remote control.
