    When I change images I keeps doing complete scans on multi sat's and you will all know it takes a very long time.
    Im use dcc to log into box at moment.
    Can anyone tell me which files I need to save and were from please.
    What I want to do is save my sat's, Tp and channels list from one image using dcc to my pc then flash new image, then transfer everything from pc back to new image without doing full scans again
    Thanks for all your help guys

    Check out the channel lists from this section Enigma2 Settings and Satellites.xml, they are much more convienent than having to rescan all the channels and have ready made catergories for movies, sport, pron etc.
    You will need to use either dreamset or dreamboxedit to upload these lists from Enigma2 Settings Editor.
    Use these same tools to backup your own lists.


    o save your Tuner Configuration FTP to /etc/enigma2/ and backup the file named settings.

    Open the file settings with notepad++ and look for the lines that start with config.Nims, these are your tuner configurations.

    Flash new image > stop enigma2 in telnet init 4 > Overwrite the existing settings file or add the lines that start with config.Nims to the existing settings file > restart enigma2 in telnet init 3.

    The old tuner configuration should now be restored.
