3.l Wish lists


With SetEdit you have the possibility to create a personal channel list, save this list as wish list and then (if you have got the corresponding SetEdit full version) adapt any settings file to this wish list and write it into your receiver.

This means the order of the channels will be taken from the wish list, unwanted channels and transponders will be deleted and new channels can easily be added.

You can make a new channel research with your receiver whenever you want, read these settings from your receiver and adapt them to your wish list. So you can be sure not to miss any new channels, but you don't each time need to rearrange the channels, delete the same channels you don't want to see or add channels (which e.g. haven't been found by the receiver because they were not active at the time you made the channel research).


Create a wish list:

Please load any settings file in SetEdit (for example a settings file you just read from your receiver).

Now you start with moving the most important channels you know on the positions you want (for example ARD on position 1, ZDF on position 2, ...).

Then you can mark channels you don't want to watch as "unwanted".

It's important to mark those channels as unwanted and not to delete them, because the wish list will be used to delete these channels automatically from every new settings file. If you delete a channel, this channel will appear again in your settings each time you make a new channel research with your receiver.

The unwanted channels will stay in your settings file but will be shown with light grey font colour and marked with a red minus symbol. So if you change you mind about a channel, you simply have to remove the marking.
If you save a settings file or write it into the receiver, all unwanted channels or transponders are deleted.

To mark one or more channels as unwanted there are three possibilities:
You can open the channel data window (double click on the channel) and click on "unwanted" there.
You can use the "mark as" function from the channel list menu or the shortcut "Strg-Alt-K" to mark one or more selected channels as unwanted.

If you go through the channel list and realise that a transponder only contains channels you don't want to watch, you have the possibility to mark the whole transponder and all its channels as "unwanted".

Note: If you mark a transponder as unwanted and than adapt a settings file so this wish list, all channels of this transponder will automatically be marked as unwanted, even if they were new!

To do this you can double click on the transponder and then click on unwanted in the transponder data window. But if you want to continue editing the channel list you have to click on "All" in the satellite list and then scroll to the position in the channel list where you want to continue. So it's much easier to select a channel of the transponder you want to mark as unwanted and then use the function "mark as" -> "TP of this channel unwanted" of the channel list menu or use the shortcut "Strg-Alt-T".

You can mark channels which you always want to keep in your settings but which may not always be found by the receiver (for example because they are not active all the time) as "extra" channels. These channels will always be added when you adapt a settings file to your wish list.

You also have the possibility to link a channel with one or more alternative channels. To do this select these channels and select the function "mark as" -> "linked" of the channel list menu. This means when you adapt a settings file to this wish list and the first of the linked channels is not found, this channel will be replaced by the next channel which is linked to it.

It is possible to link more then two channels. If you adapt a settings file to this wish list the first of the linked channels that is found will be moved to the corresponding position in the channel list.

Example:
You have got a HD receiver and a "not HD" (SD) receiver. In your wish list you move the channel arteHD on position 9 and mark the normal arte channel as unwanted. Then you link those two channels.
So if you adapt a settings file from your HD receiver to this wish list and write it into this receiver, you will find the channel arteHD on position 9 and arte (SD) will be deleted because it is marked as unwanted.
If you adapt a settings file of the "not HD" receiver to this wish list and write it into this receiver, the channel arteHD will not be found and so the alternative channel arte (SD) will be moved to position 9, even though it had been marked as unwanted before.
So you only need to create one wish list, which you can use for both receivers.

With "mark as" -> "not linked" you can delete such a link.


Save a wish list:

If you have created your personal wish list you should save it.

Please click on the button "File" and choose the function "Save wish list". You get a window, where you can enter a name for your wish list and choose where you want to save it. All wish lists get the extension ".wish".

All channels, transponders and satellites are saved even if they are not wanted, extra or not found.

You have the possibility to save more than one wish list. This may be interesting if you have got more than one receiver and if those receivers are used from different persons with different preferences.


Adapt a settings file to a wish list:

If you have saved a wish list you can now adapt any settings file (if you have got the corresponding SetEdit full version) to this wish list and then write it into the receiver.

For example you make a channel research on the corresponding satellites with your receiver than you read this settings file from your receiver and open it with SetEdit.

Now please click on the button "File" and choose the function "Adapt settings to a wish list". You get a window where you can choose the wish list you want to adapt your settings to and click on "OK".

Now each channel of the wish list will be searched in the settings file.
Channels which are found appear in the channel list on the corresponding position. If a channel is not found it also appears in the channel list but with a light grey font colour and marked with a red X.
Extra channels will always be added, if they are found or not. The unwanted channels are moved to the end of the channel list, appear with light grey font colour and are marked with a minus symbol.
Channels which only appear in your settings file and which haven't been in the wish list before, will be marked with an "N" as new channels. New channels also appear at the end of the channel list but before the unwanted channels.

Note: If a new channel is found on a transponder which is marked as unwanted, this channel will automatically be marked as "unwanted" and not as "new"!


Administer wish settings:

Now you can for example edit the "new" or "not found" channels.

With the shortcut "STRG-Alt-N" you get from your actual position in the channel list to the position of the next "not found" or "new" channel.
With the shortcut "STRG-Alt-P" you move the actual selected channel to the first position of the new channels. Then the next channel in the channel list will be selected.
With the shortcut "STRG-Alt-K" you can mark the actual selected channel as "unwanted", the next channel in the channel list will be selected automatically.
With the shortcut "STRG-Alt-T" you can mark the transponder of the actual selected channel and all other channels of this transponder as "unwanted".

Note: If you mark a transponder as unwanted and than adapt a settings file so this wish list, all channels of this transponder will automatically be marked as unwanted, even if they were new!

If a channel is not found because it doesn't exist anymore or the frequency has changed, you can of course delete this channel or replace it by the corresponding new channel (if the frequency has changed).

If a channel is not found because of other reasons - for example because it isn't active all the time and so it hasn't been found with the channel research of the receiver - you can either mark it as "Extra" or you don't change it at all. If you save this file with "Save wish list" these channels will be saved too, but without the marker for "not found". The markers for new channels will disappear too.

But if you save the settings file or write it into the receiver all "not found" or "unwanted" channels will be deleted. All markers concerning the wish list functions will disappear too.


Write wish settings into the receiver:

If you have adapted a settings file to your wish list and if you have edited new or not found channels (if there are any of them in your adapted settings file), you can finally write this settings file into your receiver.

Please click on the button "File" and choose the function "Write into receiver".
You get a message. Please follow the instructions in this message to transfer the settings into your receiver.

All "unwanted" channels and transponders and all "not found" channels which are not marked as "Extra" channels will be deleted.
