Appendix 1

Channel List Editor

The Channel List Editor PC tool enables editing exported XML channel list files in a way that is more understandable
and user friendly.
Note: XML means Extensible Markup Language
Channel list should be exported from a TV set using the option available in the following menu (make sure that Hotel
mode is set to OFF):
1. Insert the USB key on the side connector of the TV.
2. Enter the MENU and navigate to Channel list.
3. Select the option "Export Channel list to USB".
4. When the process is complete remove the USB key.
The PC Tool can create a new empty channel list without importing channels on the TV, but we do not recommend
this mode of use due to the high level of possible errors that can be entered by the user (wrong parameters or
channel type).
When we export the channel list from the TV, on the USB drive there will be a file called "channelTable.xml" in the
root folder. You can open that list for editing from within the PC tool using the 'Open' option. It will import all the
channels and load them according to the Network Type (DVB-S, DVB-T...). Channels can be moved inside its Network
Type, added to favorites, channel info can be edited, removed, new channels can be added.
Multiple selection of the channel can be performed but the edit option is limited in that case depending on the
desired action performed. Moving channel triggers renumbering of the other channels depending on the move
result. There are two modes, LCN renumbering and non LCN renumbering.
For the Channel List editor we recommend usage of a PC with Windows XP or Windows 7 and .Net framework 2.0
and 3.5 should be installed. Currently only English is supported for the graphical user interface.
