SamyGO ChanEdit

With SamyGO ChanEdit you can edit your channel list of your Samsung TV Set using any Computer able to run a Java VM supporting SWT. This makes moving channels around a lot easier. Also the list can be extended by channels that are not found by the channel search engine. For example Sky.de interactive channels, which the editor can add automatically when a list containing Sky.de channels is loaded.

Channel Import/Export Menu

First you have to connect a USB drive with a FAT/FAT32 filesystem to your TV.

When the TV is switched ON press Volume Down Volume down key.png once and then press the Enter 30px‎ button for 10 seconds. This will display the "Channel Import / Export" Menu.

If this doesn't work, check that "Speaker Select" in "Sound Menu" is set to "TV Speaker". Anynet+ (HDMI-CEC) should be disabled.

Channel Import / Export












Choose USB to TV for channeldata import or TV to USB for copying the channeldata to the USB drive.

When everything worked correct you'll find the following data on your USB drive:

kilroy@kilroy:~$ ls -la /media/USB2GB/T-CHLCIPDEUC/Clone/

Now you can edit the channel list (for the moment only map-CableD for DVB-C) stored on the drive using SamyGO ChanEdit.

After that just use the same procedure to import the list again.

Downloading and Installing

Download the SamyGO ChanEdit (and required Java library for you OS) from SamyGO Applications file download area.

Ubuntu 9.10 amd64

You have to download the files SamyGO ChanEdit-v0.31.tar.bz2 and SamyGoChanEd_lib-Linux-GTK-x86_64.tar.bz2
Ubuntu 9.10 is coming with openjdk-6-jre but you can also install Java from SUN.

# sudo aptitude install sun-java6-jre
[ -d ~/bin ] || mkdir ~/bin
tar xjf Downloads/SamyGO\ ChanEdit-v0.31.tar.bz2 -C ~/bin/
tar xjf Downloads/SamyGoChanEd_lib-Linux-GTK-x86_64.tar.bz2 -C ~/bin/SamyGO\ ChanEdit-v0.31/
ln -s ~/bin/SamyGO\ ChanEdit-v0.31/SamyGoChanEd.jar Desktop/SamyGoChanEd.jar

With right mouseclick at the SamyGoChanEd.jar icon choose under Properties -> Open With: OpenJDK Java 6 Runtime (or Sun Java 6 Runtime)
