Hello everyone. I haven't been around in a while so I thought I'd drop in and say hi and share a little info but I see you guys are on top of it.

I ordered a V7 HD and like it so much I ordered a Super. The Super has a SCART connector and a loop out instead of a useless T2 tuner connector. You can get composite or component out with a $2 SCART adapter. I used to use composite out to go to the bedroom from my S9 but want to change to the V7 so I can watch different channels and have HDMI for better image quality.

I'll let ya know anything you want when I receive it. I should receive it in about 8-10 days now as I ordered it 4 days ago and they got it right out the door in a hurry. I do know you can't use a V7 sat list in a V8, or at least that's how it looks because the channel editor ask which version when loading the db file.

I do have a question. The channel editor is very basic. I remember the ALI editor had import/export and a few other things that would let you import transponders into a file. Not so with this one. They're supposed to be releasing an updated version soon and the site is down right now so maybe they're doing something as I type.

My question is this. Do you know of another Montage based receiver which has a better, possibly compatible editor? I've only seen one other Montage based receiver and it's posted here at this site. Those screens look very much like my V7 screens, layout wise.

Also, I do have a decent sat list that I personally built. It isn't complete yet but it does have many of the good channels scanned in. You're welcome to it if you'd like to have it. You'll have plenty to watch while you work on completing it. I'll also upload it when I'm done with it which will be all English channels.

Here's a tip. When you are building your sat list in the receiver and try to put the sats in order with the editor it will not keep the order when you load it in the V7 if you use Move Up/Move Down in the editor to move your sats.

In the editor you right click on a sat to move it. Don't use "Move Up" or "Move Down". Use "Move To"!

If you right click on SES1 and select "Move To" and then select Galaxy 17 it'll move SES1 above Galaxy 17. When you save it and load it into the receiver they are in the order you put them in with the editor. I did it with the user DB file, not the whole FW etc but I'd think it'll work with the complete file too.

I'll be back tomorrow.
