Channel list sites

[richardsth]

Are there any sites which provide a list of channels in a format compatible with the SatcoDX program (WorldOf Satellites) or SetEdit Nav for the echostar 3600? Satco DX is no more, whilst Lynsat no longer provides the DAT files. If you go to SatBeams (formerly SatCo) the only offer them in XML or INI format, so is there a program which can convert these formats?

It looks like the SatcoDX system of channel listing died with the magazine.

Anyhow, this may be of use

Absolutely no guarantee implied though

Yep, I tried that from another site and funnily enough it updates the maps but not the listings. TTALEX did respond back though and said that the SatcoDX program used fields that were incompatible with the Satbeams database, hence there was no support. I'm going to look at picking out the relevant bits from the xml files and compile them as a bin, but I need to get my hands on a Linux box first. Or alternatively, kick-off a blind search before I go to bed and see what it finds in the morning!

There are plenty of linux boxes out there going cheap.
