Channel Name
OSDEdit 1.6 - Channel Editor For
Platinum,Lite, and Xtreme
Many channel lists exist . The most popular are
lyngsat.com and
satcodx.com
Lyngsat is a Swedish website that is very comprehensive but relies on casual
viewers and hobbyists to send
them information.
SatcoDX is a German company that publishes Tele Satellite magazine -- the
largest satellite
publication in the world. Tele-Sat is not widely distributed here in Canada.
Copies can be obtained in Winnipeg
at Dominion News on Portage Ave in downtown. A subscription to
Tele-Sat can be obtained for
$55 US
per year.
Satco DX uses their field reporters to provide data to them thus
the data is more accurate and
up-to-date.
The great thing is that you can download the OSD Edit 1.6 Channel editor from
the
Viewsat website. Then
go
to SatcoDX and download (or use a special CD sent with the magazine) the
SatcoDX tables to OSD Edit 1.6.
Use OSD Edit 1.6 to further refine your info. Then load to your Platinum or
Xtreme.
If you are a comprehensive C-bander this list is the one for you. SatcoDX
updates info almost daily and you can do updates by going to their website.
