I have registered SetEditTopfield5000 and I want to create settings for my Humax receiver. Why do I always get the message "Unregistered demo version" when I start the program?
You have to register SetEdit for every receiver separately.
I registered version 1.00, but on the homepage I found the version 1.05 Do I have to buy a new registration key?
No, you don't have to buy a new registration key. Just download the upgrade from the site www.setedit.de and install this upgrade in your already existing SetEdit directory.
I want to write Humax settings into my Topfield receiver. How can I do this?
Load the Humax settings into the corresponding SetEdit editor and convert them with File -> Convert to -> Topfield into the format you need for your Topfield receiver. Now you can write these settings into your Topfield receiver (see chapter 3.i).
I want to write Humax settings into my Topfield receiver. Do I have to register both versions?
You only have to register the version you need to write into the receiver. In the example this is the Topfield editor.
When I read from the receiver I get the message "Error loading file".
Maybe the transfer has failed, please try again. If you still get this error message, please send me the file SetEditxxxRead.logc (to Wolfgang.Litzinger@setedit.de). You find this file in your SetEdit directory.
How do I find my SetEdit directory?
If you don't remember where you have installed SetEdit, please click on the Help button and choose the function "Show SetEdit directory". A window with your SetEdit directory will be opened.

Where do I enter the keys for the emu?
This is not possible. You have to buy the corresponding pay-tv subscription!
Does SetEdit work with a patched receiver software?
SetEdit405 is only tested with the original version of the receiver firmware. If you have changed the receiver firmware, I can't guarantee that the program will work properly.
I would like to make a channel search on position 28.2° E with my receiver. How can I find out which satellite I have to choose?
Please click with your right mouse button in the satellite list and choose the function "Hotbird -> 13.0E Hotbird". The position of each satellite will be added at the beginning of each satellite name. Now - after writing these settings into your receiver - you can easily find the right satellite.
How can I add another receiver?
1. Select on my homepage the receiver you want to add.
2. Download the upgrade (zip file).
3. Extract the zip file and enter the directory of your SetEdit installation as destination directory.
4. Close all SetEdit editors and restart the program.
You can read chapter 2 for more details.
I have started SetEdit two times and want to copy channels from one window into the other. Why is this impossible?
You have to start SetEdit only once and then open with File -> New a second editor window. Now you can easily drag and drop channels from one window into the other.
SetEdit is hanging, I can't do anything.
Sometimes it may happen that an error message or a dialog window is hidden behind the main window. With the short cut Alt-Esc you can bring it in the foreground.
