Hi, I posted this elsewhere so it is a bit of a cut and paste, as I had the same problem on 7W, It is possible to edit all transponders on all satellites with the appropriate software, read this:-
This is information for anyone who has a Lacuna Mark 4 Digital satellite meter.
One of the problems with it is that the transponders cannot be edited by the user directly but it needs to be done via a PC.
One problem that was noted was that Nilesat 7w was not recognised as having a signal even though a signal could be received on a satellite receiver. To edit a transponder within the Meter data proceed as follows:-
1. Download "Satloader" from _http://www.metersupport.co.uk This is used to upload and download meter data to/from the meter.
2. Then a meter data editor is required. There is an editor at _http://www.metersupport.co.uk, but the zip file is password protected, for a password an email has to be sent to ask for it. However another option is to download _http://www.ssi-iraq.com/software/satmeter3.zip. It cannot communicate with the Mark 4, but it can edit the meter data.
3. Run Satmeter loader, following the instructions on _http://www.metersupport.co.uk and click on read, it will then save the meter data to a file that is chosen.
4 Run Satmeter3, edit the transponders that need editing, then save as a new file.
5. Using Satloader download the new file to the meter.
Finished!
Obviously it must be stressed, that messing with your transponder list is done at your own risk! |
