How to edit a Enigma2 channel list

1No USB stick or TV menu needed — you pull the settings off the receiver itself over the network.
2Copy /etc/enigma2/ from the receiver via FTP (or the web interface backup) — upload it as a .zip, .tar.gz or .rar
3Zip the /etc/enigma2 folder (lamedb + bouquets). ChannelSat also accepts .tar.gz and .rar, so an FTP or web-interface backup works as-is.
4Plug the stick into your computer and upload the file to ChannelSat — reorder, clean up, add missing channels
5Save the exported file back to the USB stick (replace the original) and import it on the TV: Copy the files back to /etc/enigma2/ and reload services (or restart Enigma2)

Menu names vary by model and firmware version.

Supported files

  • /etc/enigma2/ (lamedb + bouquets.tv + bouquets.radio + userbouquet.*.tv)

What you can edit

  • Reorder & renumber channels
  • Favourite lists (not supported by this format)
  • Delete channels
  • Add missing channels (requires a new scan on this TV)

Good to know

  • Userbouquets are your favourite/main lists — editing them is the whole point on Enigma2.
  • An export with no edits comes back byte-identical; each bouquet keeps its original order, and markers, separators, IPTV/stream entries and duplicate references are all preserved.
  • Settings can be uploaded as a .zip, .tar.gz/.tgz or .rar archive.
  • lamedb version 4 is supported.
  • lamedb version 5 without a v4 file is not supported.
