    If you've not done so already, scan again using "NIT All" as your search mode, you'll probably find there are even more! (I only bother with "NIT All" for my most viewed satellites). Using both searches has found me 1062 channels on Hotbird :D Best of luck with the Conax and Season.

    Hope you get the scans done OK m8. Always takes me a while (editing, moving, renaming, etc). You'll need to be patient with the season. I had mine plugged in earlier tonight and couldn't get it to work (even with settings that have always worked before)! :confused: Keep a funcard in reserve -...

    I've imported 75E to 30W into your image file for you and mailed it back m8. It certainly looks as though theres a conflict between the software and "something" on your pc. Try downloading from the fortec site and see if it's any better. Was up late watching a dodgy DVD (no - not mature content) :D :D :D

    Got your e-mail OK. Good/Bad news is your file works for me 100%. Most obvious snag is you've got 360deg of satellite data and I need to narrow this down to allow the new transponders to load (I've already exceeded reciever memory). Unless you have a monster of a dish I assume you can see...

    @Tunte Been through your 123, and the source of the problem is clear (but not the cause, or cure :( ). In parts 8&9, when you select 20 satellites and uncheck channels, what you should get in the "Import Satellite" window (using your example as a reference) is something like; Selected: 20...

    Not stupid m8, somethings wrong or we're missing something here! Let's deal with the easy ones first. Wrong channel data is irrelevent, this is things like a video PID without a corresponding audio PID. A lot of feeds throw these up as well. Also, reciever only needs to be connected when...

    Manhattan 5900

    Have spent an hour or so trying to duplicate the problem, best(worst?) I could do was crash the program by trying to deliberately import the wrong file format (*.chd) from "World of Satellites II" Try downloading the SatcoDX data with STB Editor and saving it as a file (*.sdx - around 2MB in...

    Have you tried downloading the software again? This might help if the first one was corrupt (quite possible as you are having trouble with more than one input format). I'm a little unclear on where you're getting your *.sdx files. Let STB Editor get them over the internet on its own rather than...

    I remember the thread about a motor problem (on Tonydoes as I recall). I tend to loose track of the threads I'm involved in if it goes over three or four, and I'm in about twice that at the moment :) . Will check it out though and see if I can help. Steve

    Manhattan 5900

    Have to agree with Channel Hopper I'm afraid, definitely the pup in a flawed range. I think 'anomalies' is actually being rather kind, the menus *look* nice but the flaws are fundamental (some of it should never have passed alpha testing)! I wouldn't even dream of describing it as an...

    I Also have a 5900 which probably wouldn't work at all if not for the excellent help I recieved on this forum (Manhattans own forum is a complete waste of space, as you already know). STB Editor is the only editor I know of for this range of recievers. Unfortunately it's lacking in one or two...

    Can anyone help with manhattan starlight 5900

    Last message from me in this thread before I start asking for help with cams + software in the other forums! Yesterday morning I recieved a BRAND NEW reciever (new circuit board design - NOT the old one repaired), pleased to report it is fully working, with all latest software installed...

    Can anyone help with manhattan starlight 5900

    From Manhattan's site: URGENT NOTICE FOR STARLIGHT / SKYLINE USERS: THIS SOFTWARE (V3.04) PREVENTS THE RECEIVER FROM GOING INTO CONTINUOUS BOOT STATUS (CBS) HOWEVER RECEIVERS WHICH ARE ALREADY IN CBS CANNOT BE RECTIFIED USING THIS SOFTWARE UPGRADE ALONE. IF YOUR MACHINE IS IN CBS, YOU CAN...
