To add your own sats to your image you can edit the satellites.xml file. Ftp to the box and look in /var/etc and put the satellites.xml file on your pc. Open up wordpad and load the file in, you will se a list of satelites/transponders and settings.
Its abit tedious but you can add satelites and then the freqs etc and once your sorted save it and re ftp it back to the same place.

you could also if you prefer the satelites how they were on the older image was to save the satellites.xml from that image, flash new image and replace again, altho newer image will probibly have more up to date transponders...

To add a new satellite to your dreambox you need to add it in the satellite configuration after adding it in transponder edit first. On my dreambox i found if you didn't get it right first time the name doesn't appear in the list, just a blank space

Menu > 6> Service searching> Transponder edit. (this is the bit that has to done right first time, if you go back and edit it after it has been saved the rest won't work)

Click on Sat then press green button to add new satellite

go back to main menu after adding new satellite details

6> Service serching > Satellite configuration > Many Sats DISEqC rotor > yellow button.

It should add it to the bottom of the list in the sat config.

When you go to Motor setting it will then be added at the bottom of the list.

This is how i do it on the Nabilosat image in my 7020 and it seems to work for me although i should imagine its the same on all the other images and DBs available.


missed the first bit out lol

for anyone who has same probs anyway
