This function is used to transfer channel guide files from a remote computer to the unit using FTP. For
more information, see:
• Channel guide file format and general handling notes on page 8-23 for file format information
• FTP connection parameters on page 2-59 for general tips on preparing for the FTP transaction
For general information about channel guide functionality, see Lineup tab on page 8-8.
Channel guide file format and general handling notes
A channel guide file must be in text-based comma-separated values (CSV) format, with four fields on
each line representing the four columns shown in the Lineup tab (see Lineup tab on page 8-8). The
following example shows the four supported types of entries for analog and digital channels, including
out-of-band (OOB) channels:
10,ABC,35,Analog
11,NBC,36,64QAM
12,CBS,37,256QAM
OOB1,OutOfBand,OOB,QPSK
Note that:
• The fourth field (channel type) is case-sensitive and must be formatted exactly as shown.
• The file must have a *.txt extension.
For a sample channel guide file, please contact Spirent. Additionally, note the following about channel
guide transfer:
• On the FTP server computer, the file(s) to transfer must be placed in the folder associated with the
FTP user account that you intend to use.
• The FTP operation will transfer any file in the server folder with a *.txt extension. Therefore, any
file you want to transfer must use that extension. If any filename in the server folder matches a file
already on the unit, the file on the unit will be overwritten.
