[QUOTE="deepbluesky, post: 1010677, member: 176074"] This thread might be rather old but it seems to me the right one to get in contact with the creator(s) of [URL="http://satellites-xml.org/"]satellites.xml creator[/URL]. I am looking for a non time consuming way to update regularly the frequency/satellite database for my two E² receivers Vu+ Solo² and Octagon SF4008. I would like to ask how often the data is beeing updated. If this depends on the satellite then may I propose this ? Could the date be added as comment after each satellite ? What I mean in particular is this: <sat name="53.0W Intelsat 23" flags="0" position="-530"> <!-- 2017-03-25 --> <transponder frequency="11911000" symbol_rate="2821000" polarization="1" fec_inner="3" system="0" modulation="1"/> <transponder frequency="12138000" symbol_rate="3111000" polarization="0" fec_inner="3" system="0" modulation="1"/> </sat> <sat name="45.0W Intelsat 14" flags="0" position="-450"> <!-- 2017-03-28 --> <transponder frequency="11600000" symbol_rate="1000000" polarization="1" fec_inner="3" system="0" modulation="1"/> <transponder frequency="11605000" symbol_rate="990000" polarization="0" fec_inner="2" system="0" modulation="1"/> <transponder frequency="11608000" symbol_rate="1852000" polarization="0" fec_inner="4" system="0" modulation="1"/> <transponder frequency="11638000" symbol_rate="5632000" polarization="0" fec_inner="3" system="0" modulation="1"/> <transponder frequency="11647000" symbol_rate="6620000" polarization="0" fec_inner="2" system="0" modulation="1"/> <transponder frequency="11654000" symbol_rate="4131000" polarization="0" fec_inner="3" system="1" modulation="1"/> </sat> My biggest concern is that close satellites like 7.0W and 7.3W should not be listed as <sat name="7.0W Nilesat 201 & Eutelsat 7 West A" flags="0" position="-70"> but separated as <sat name="7.3W Eutelsat 7 West A" flags="0" position="-73"> ... <sat name="7.0W Nilesat 201" flags="0" position="-70"> ... This of course might be no issue for all receiving inside the footprint of both satellites with small dishes but essential for all the others. For example I can get some frequencies here from Eutelsat 7 West A when aiming the dish at 7.3W but nothing if aimed at 7.0W. Nilesat 201 here requires at least 1.80m but you won't get all from Eutelsat 7.3W when aimed at 7.0W. Just one example of lots others which from region to region of course differ. So separation of 1.0W/0.8W, 3.0E/3.1E, 4.8E/5.0E and many more is important not just for DXers but for everybody. Further on it would be nice to have missing satellites (that are listed in flysat, lyngsat) added. One of them is 33.5W which might not be carrying regular TV/Radio but 1 Abertis frequency. There are plenty others which are just carrying feeds. And finally it would be nice to also see Ka-Band lists. All in all it seems to be a great method to update the satellite.xml file quickly but it has potential to get even better. Now I am interested in your comments. [/QUOTE]
