Hi there,
I have DM800HD SE V2, with Newnigma2 V4.0.8 Installed, and i am located in East Africa. I am using multiple satellites (I have few channels on Paksat 1R 38.0E) which names appear very funny and incorrect, i want to rename them permanently.
Can some one please tell me how to do it.
I have already Tried the following:

Using DDC (Windows Version) or Using iDreamX (Mac Version) to download setting change the name in lamedb, or used "Expert Mode" in iDreamX and edit name.
It changes name for while, and after when i scroll channels and come back to the changed one it shows the same name. i have already even tried like completely powering off after changing channel name, so i thought it would not backup to temp chache.

----------
NB:- I know that i can make Favorite Bouquets and change the names there. but i just want to correct the names, it is annoying . so please don't explain the walk through about creating "Favorites & Bouquets" etc.

Any Permanent Solution will be Highly Appreciated.

Regards
Wahaib

You need to set the proper flag in DreamboxEdit.
I think it is flag 01 (f:01) so that the box ignores SDT.

open dreambox edit and then locate and open your settings
highlite the channel you want to rename then right click on it and choose Show/Edit details,then on the right service data name,just rename the channel to what ever you are going to call it then save

after you have finished renaming them all make sure you save in the main prog as well

Hello there,
Thanks for taking the time and efforts to send me these Screen shoots, i have already tried these methods, by using ( both DreamBox Edit & iDreamX ) windows & Mac OSx versions and it edits the channel name but after scrolling the channel foreword or Backward it again changes back to Old name.

Use DreamboxEdit and after editing your name in the main list set the "keep flag", just tick the first box.
Make sure you send your lamedb file to your box and make sure new lamedb is saved in your box.

Hello Robinson,
Thanks very much i think i was missing this step and every one else did not mention about that. i Selected to "Keep" in Flags option and now it is changing the channels name with our reverting back to original.
THANKS VERY MUCH.
