Import to program list
Overwrite duplicated program data
This option will add the program data from the imported file into the selected input port’s program list. With this option enabled, you can access the newly added programs without re-scanning the programs.
Append to the tail of the list
The imported program data will be added to the end of the application’s program list.
The imported program data will overwrite the application’s program list when they have the same data.
Overwrite program name
For duplicated program data, the program names will be replaced by the imported data.
Import to satellite’s frequency table
The option will add the frequencies stored in the imported file into the selected satellite’s frequency table.
Note
: It is highly recommended to choose
Import to satellite’s frequency table
and then re-scan the channels to obtain the latest program data. This is because the program data stored in the imported file is not probably the most up to date.
