How to edit a Toshiba channel list

1Insert an empty USB stick into your Toshiba TV
2Settings → Installation → Clone / Export channel list to USB (Vestel: hold the Info button in the channel menu)
3The TV writes settingsDB.db / chmgt_type001/chmgt.db + dvb_type001/*.db to the USB stick. Zip the exported clone folder before uploading.
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: Same menu → Import from USB

Menu names vary by model and firmware version.

Supported files

  • settingsDB.db (CLONE00001 folder)
  • chmgt_type001/chmgt.db + dvb_type001/*.db (zip the export folder)

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

  • Vestel-based TVs (settingsDB.db) and older chmgt.db exports are both supported.
  • When exporting settingsDB.db, copy the result over settingsDBBackup.db too.
  • TV and radio channels keep separate numbering in chmgt.db lists.
  • Encrypted settingsDB_enc.db files (newer Vestel firmware) cannot be edited.
