  • This is a new program that downloads data from kingsofsat and creates a Spiderbox channel list


    If you decide to download this program, please read "INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS.txt" and "KNOWN BUGS.txt"


    TESTED ON 7000HD and USALS ONLY


    PLEASE DONT DELETE ALL CHANNELS FROM A SATELLITE OR FREQUENCY, this screws up your favourite lists





    ###################################
    Version 7


    *Added display name above the channels table when you select a satellite/frequency/favourite
    (info from blueking)


    *Added ability to Add/Edit/Delete BISS KEYS so you are no longer required to do this manually
    (Thanks to BillyBits for finding this issue and his channel list for the keys)
    (BillyBits gave me test channels on 42E(TRT1, TRT3, TRT Haber, TRT HD), this is out my range of sats, it needs tested!!!!!!!!)


    *Fixed auto refresh of channels table when editing name/hd/scrambled status in right click "edit channel" menu
    (info from blueking)


    *Added "Parental Lock" to right click menu on the channels table
    (no visual display for RAM reasons at the moment)
    (info from iwols)


    NOTE: If you are deleting channels, delete ALL YOUR UN-REQUIRED channels before closing the application or creating a udb file,
    it doesnt matter if it is 1 channel or 1000 channels you have deleted, cleaning the database takes the same amount of time


    It is not too bad when its 2/3/4000 channels in the database but when you get to 9/10000 then it takes a while


    Deleting from sats & freqs still needs a lot of improvement.


    ###################################


    #UPDATE INSTRUCTIONS


    Copy and overwrite MacSatelliteManager.exe
    MacSatelliteManager.exe.config
    Database.accdb


    to your program directory


    you will lose any saved data in the database(re-ordering of sats, edited channels etc.)


    There is no need to overwrite anything else.

    # KNOWN BUGS
    #
    ################################################## #################################################



    **"Concurrency Violation" when creating a new database with Channel Data already present. (sometimes happens, sometimes doesnt)


    **Drag and Drop channel Re-arranging can be a pain (Definetley needs fixed!!)


    **After Drag and Drop, you need to click twice on the channels table to select a row.


    **Due to XML read/writing for FAVOURITES saving/importing, "\" is an illeagal character


    **Using different databases causes issues



    NOT A BUG: favourites are too slow too create due to scanning through the database looking for channel names and kingsofsat ID's.


    NOT A BUG: takes to slow to clean database after channels have been deleted.(reason as above)


    NOT A BUG: reduce RAM consumption when loading channels


    NOT A BUG: need a way of showing current FAV channels when satellite/frequency clicked

  • ###################################
    Version 11 - 29/04/2012
    ###################################


    *Fixed bug in Favs Import where the Import would just stop and fail.
    *Changed Chelsea TV and NBA(10E) BISS Key frequencies in my database(3Hz difference), you have to manually scan these transponder frequencies through the spiderbox for it to work. (Thanks to BlueKing for this info.)
    *Fixed issue with being unable to Save Changes to BISS Keys.
