Does anyone know if you can use the SD card to update channel listings on the 3500? I've searched this site and could not find any info on this. :cry:

The bin update via SD slot takes about 10 seconds. I can even backup the bin and the channel data to the SD - it saves it as a ***.bin file. The channel data is saved in a folder called "CH Data Backup" and it is 360,448 bytes in size, whereas the code bin is 786,432 and is saved in "Code Backup".

I can edit the channel data with Channel Master v1.7 build Nov 12, but I'm afraid to upload it to my 3500 because I don't know if it will harm the receiver. :no:

I chose the 3500 because I don't have to lug it to a PC to get it updated via the com port. I could do it easily through the SD slot. Also, the SD card can be inserted and ejected while the unit is on with no ill effects. :yes:

Any help on this would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance!

:) :D

I believe I read in a guide around here somewhere how to do that. I will look for it for you.
