Hi all, my update worked a treat, I have all channels back working, its great! Thanks a million! Just one more thing, I want to sort my channels out as they are all over the place however in channel edit, the "sort" and "move" option are faded out and I cant select them! Is there any reason why this is and is it possible to be able to move and sort channels?
They are shaded out as the box maps channels as per the CC's list, so it replicates there line out to an extent. There is a Beta editor for the SV4 but it takes a bit of work.


Cheers scouser, is there a forum or link you could point me too with a step by step guide?

Any word on this one?

Sorry Norris I missed your reply. You will find it in Eamos click here

But as I said it takes a bit of getting used to. Better off sticking to the mapped channels as every time you rescan they will default and you will have to re-edit your CDF.

I used it quite a few times when its author TheBish helped me out with a few problems I was having during the change over and found it quite good. So if you are willing to give it a go here are his release notes:

It's pretty-much a re-write from the beginning compared to the SVCE. It is only intended for use (at the moment) with channel data files backed up from the SV4 (TheBox Super USB).

The current state of it allows you to:-
edit channel data including PIDs etc,
move or delete single or multiple channels,
renumber channels to your own choice,*
auto-renumber channels from 'a' in steps of 'n',**
edit or add TP data,
export to SV1 format,
export to Excel spreadsheet.

* The auto-renumber will affect the categories in which the channels appear as the SV4 seems to sort them according to their channel number.

** Value ranges are: a=1~3000, n=1~10.

Channel Data
The first column is the index which is just the original channel (scanned) order in the data file. It's for keeping track & cannot be edited & doesn't need to be. It gets re-generated in the file you save after editing.

Channel edit etc is invoked using right-click in the main grid area rather than typing directly in the various fields. From there you can then edit all the channel info, including the PIDs.

Channel move is the same as before so you can highlight & move multiple channels.

A few report options have been included - namely TP, TV & Radio lists.

The current channel data setup can be exported in SV1 format for use on original Starviews. It simply renumbers the channels from 1+ automatically on export to suit the SV1.

The Excel export feature saves all displayed channel & TP data to a *.XLS file for use with Excel or OpenOffice.

The status bar at the bottom is just for displaying messages & current or recent activity.


To Do...
Add export in SV2 format for TheBox files. Maybe also for SV3 & PVR, but their files already sort the channels.
Add auto-renumber of only selected channels. e.g. Select all the 3000+ range.
Add support to open & edit SV1, SV2, SV3 & PVR but this is a huge job so will probably have to wait.

Thanks to TheBish ;)

DIGIVOX XL USB BOX ONLY

YOU CAN UPDATE THE BOX VIA NULL MODEM CABLE OR USB DEVICE

TO UPDATE WITH USB DEVICE

1 PLUG THE USB DEVICE IN WITH BOX SWITCHED OFF

2 TURN BOX ON GO TO MENU AND ON THE BOTTOM LAST SELECTION USB

3 CLICK OK ON USB YOU SHOULD SEE THE FILE YOU PUT ON THE USB DEVICE SHOWING ON SCREEN

4 HIGHLIGHT IT AND PRESS OK YOU WILL THEN GET THE POP UP OPTION TO CANCELL OR YES PICK YES

5 WHEN YOU SELECT THIS YOU WILL GET ANOTHER SCREEN WITH THE DOWNLOAD BAR ON IT

6 IT TAKES A FEW SECONDS FOR ANYTHING TO HAPPEN SO JUST LEAVE IT DO NOT PRESS ANYTHING ON REMOTE

7 DO NOT DISCONNECT FROM THE POWER EITHER WHILE IT IS UPDATING

8 AFTER THIS IS FINISHED THE BOX WILL REBOOT JUST LEAVE IT AND LET IT DO IT

9 AFTER YOU SEE THE MENU AGAIN GO TO INSTALLATION AND CHOOSE PROVIDER AND SCAN THERE ARE ONLY LETTERS HERE

10 AFTER IT HAS SCANNED FOR THE CHANNELS GO TO MENU SYSTEM INFO AND PRESS OK THEN 1004 ON KEY PAD TURN KEY ON

11 EXIT TO MAIN TV AND ALLOW THE BOX TO UPDATE

see number 9 above - tells you to choose provider

cionnaith can we continue in the Digivox thread please. Unfortunately I am not at home and cannot access the particular box you have. I have one buried somewhere :)

But if you drop over to the thread I linked above it will keep this one for the SV4 clear, cheers ;)

If you are in the menu press 1570 (try doing it twice) and if it won't come up factory reset the box and reflash it.
