Hi
Has anybody tried this channel editor .
I
- to order TV and Radio channels.
- to modify the name of each channel.
- to verify and modify favorite channels.
- to verify and modify locked channels.
And, after a new blind scan:
- to show new channels.
- to show channels previously present but no more found in the new scan.
Upload the channels from V8UHD to an USB pen and note the name of the file (e.g. Channels.sdx).
Insert the USB pen in your PC.
Open the Excel File V8UHDSortV2.xlsm and allow the use of macros.
In sheet "TV", cell N1, write the full path of the .sdx file you created.
In sheet "TV", press the button "Input Data": TV channels are listed in sheet "TV" and radio channels are listed in sheet "Radio" in the order you have in your decoder.
- to order TV and Radio channels: cut and paste the line you want to move.
It's not necessary to manually change the number in column B.
It's also possible to delete a line.
Don't leave empty lines in the table.
- to modify the name of each channel: write the name you prefer in the cell in column C.
- to verify and modify favorite channels: the 8 groups of favorite channels are columns from D to K.
If a cell is empty, the cannell is not in the favorite list.
If there is "1" in the cell, the channel is in the favorite list.
You can write or delete "1" in the cells as you prefer.
- to verify and modify locked channels: if the channel is locked there is "1" in column L.
You can write or delete "1" in the cell as you prefer.
After you completed all changes in "TV" sheet, press the button "Apply Changes" in "TV" sheet.
After you completed all changes in "Radio" sheet, press the button "Apply Changes" in "Radio" sheet.
In sheet "Radio", cell N1, write the full path of the new .sdx file you want to create with all changes.
In sheet "Radio", press the button "Output Data": the new .sdx file will be created.
You can put the new .sdx file in your USB pen and upload it in your V8UHD.
After you verified everithing is ok, you can copy the list of TV channels from sheet "TV" to sheet "TV-old" and from sheet "Radio" to sheet "Radio-old".
The next time you will make a blind scan on your V8UHD, when you press the "Input Data" button you will find both in "TV" sheet and "Radio" sheet:
- green lines: channels present in new scan and in old list; number, favorite preferences and lock preference are copied from old list.
- red lines: channels not present in new scan but present in old list; number, favorite preferences and lock preference are copied from old list.
- black lines: channels present in new scan and not present in old list.
In this way you can keep all the old preferences and modify only the black lines as you prefer.
I hope it may be useful for those who prefer to make changes on a PC rather that on the remote control of the decoder.
