Diseqc setting and satellite list

[dixons]

I'm in the southern hemisphere ( Australia ) and have a uno with european sats in the xml list.
I do not have a network set up so how do I enter an updated list from a USB stick?
Is it possible to enter a satellite manually,into the tuner list or even delete a sat?
I'm a bit confused about the diseqc, it seems overly complicated compared with other sat receivers i have used. I have 3 dishes connected to a diseqc switch which has LNB 1,2,3,4. In the advanced mode I see AA,AB etc and Input 1 , 2 etc. Can you point me in the direction of whats this means.
Regards Geoff

Try as follow (replace with the names of SAT you have)

I think you must first update the satellites.xml file situated in /etc/tuxbox

For that, go to the web site of "satellites-xml.eu" and choose your sats (or tick asia /south pacific). Then put this file in /etc/tuxbox.

Have had to set up a network so that I could install the updated sat list.
Spent some time trying to work out how to check the sat signals. Without a signal meter this proved impossible.
Installed the latest version of BH that includes a sat meter.( someone needs to rewrite the instructions for installing as they omit a crucial part, as the box boots you need to press two buttons on the set top box and please don't mention directories for a Windows PC)
Spent some time setting up the DisEqc switch. The simple config was not possible as I had three LNB's all with different settings (LO), one of witch was on a Motek. Took some time and some research to work out that I needed to use 1.2 for the positioner. With some trial and error I managed to get it working.
Now I 'm working on the EPG .
