I would like to know if it is possible to backup channels file list of Pinwheel HD Mini to usb flash drive once I scanned the channels
of different satellites ?

If so, how do I do it ?


Thanks

When we upgrade the firmware.
Does it wipe out all the settings like username, password and server settings ?

Thanks

to backup the server data you do the following:
Menu
Server List
Password (9999) if not changed
EPG button
Choose directory
Green Button (save)

I discovered this by chance!! I wish someone would publish a complete command setup that we could download and use

If you are referring to my post #7, that does not save the satellite and channel settings that saves your server settings (ie ps and public server settings)

To save your satellite and channel list you do the following:

Hit menu...
Go back up and restore

I using 119W only.
I was missing some too on 119, but if I do a blind scan I will get all. though they might get mixed up in which satellite they display it. I had to delete a lot of double or triple identical channels scanned, but that was the only way I could scan and get them.
It was only way I could scan them and get most of them to work. I tried the frequenccies that are reccommended for the channels
I was missing, but could not get them when I used them to scan.
So once you delete all the identical channels. Do a backup of all the channels and servers data.

The the satellite and channel settings is saved as *.db extension file.
The server settings is saved as what extension file ?

Thanks
