3.a Load and back up a settings file


Read settings from the receiver:
Please connect your USB stick or your USB drive to your receiver.

Click in your SetEdit window on "File" -> "Read from receiver". You get a message which tells you how to transfer the settings from your receiver to the USB stick/drive.

Than please connect the USB stick/drive to your PC.

Now you can load the settings file with "File" -> "Open".


Save settings:

To save your settings, please click again on the button "file" to open the file menu but now select the function "Save as". You get the following dialogue:



Here you have to enter the directory and filename of your back up.
As soon as you have clicked on "Save" in this dialogue, the data is saved in this file.

If you make some unintentional changes in your settings when you experiment with SetEditHisense you can always restore this backup file into your receiver and reverse any changes.

Now you can change your own settings file, which is already visible in SetEditHisense, or you can adapt a settings file from your hard disc (e.g. from the Internet) to your own requirements and write it into your receiver (chapter 3.h and 3.i).


Load a settings file from your hard disc:

If you want to adapt a settings file from your hard disc (e.g. from the Internet) to your own requirements and then write them into your receiver, you have to load these settings first. Please click on the button "File" and then select the function "open" from the file menu.
Now please select the file you want to load from the list you see



and click on "Open" or double click on the file you want to load.

Note: If you want to write settings that you have found in the Internet into your receiver, you have to be careful:
A settings file does not only contain the channel information, it also includes the LNB and the satellite configuration. These configuration settings will usually not fit to your receiver.
Therefore you should better overwrite these configuration settings with your own configuration settings (see chapter 3.i or 5.d.)

When you have loaded a settings file or read the settings from your receiver, you get the following window (depending on the window size and some personal settings the picture may differ).



You see the TV channels (light blue background) and the radio channels (light green background) as well as a transponder list, a satellite list and the favourite lists (FAV).

If you select an item in the satellite list, you will see all channels and all transponders that are assigned to this satellite.

If you select a transponder or a favourite list, you will only see the channels that are assigned to this transponder or this favourite list.

When you select a channel, the satellite, transponder and FAV list (if the channel is in a FAV list) of this channel are marked grey.

Channels that are in a favourite list are marked in the channel list with a darker background colour.

Transponders marked in red are empty; they contain no channels.

If the channel number is marked with a red background colour, the channel is assigned to a vertical polarised transponder. If the channel number has a white background colour, the channel is assigned to a horizontal polarised transponder.

If a satellite has a green background colour, it is activated, which means there are already channels on this satellite.

(You can change all these marking colours in the configuration menu, see chapter 5.b.)

When you click with the right mouse button in the channel list (TV or radio) and select from the popup menu the entry "Info" you will get the number of TV channels, radio channels and transponders that are in your settings.
