Satellites.xml Update for Enigma2: Full Transponder List & Setup Guide

The Updated satellites.xml File is an essential system file for Enigma2 Linux satellite receivers (Vu+, Dreambox, Octagon, Zgemma, Gigablue). It contains the complete, up-to-date transponder frequency database (Ku-Band, C-Band, and Ka-Band) covering orbital positions from 45.0°E to 30.0°W.

Keeping your satellites.xml file current ensures your receiver accurately detects all active transponders, new channel frequencies, DVB-S2 multi-stream signals, and updated symbol rates during automatic tuner scans.

 

 

What's Included in This Update?

• Full Satellite Coverage: Updated transponder parameters for NileSat (7.0°W), Astra (19.2°E), HotBird (13.0°E), Badr/Es'hail (26.0°E), Eutelsat 9B/16A/21B, Hispasat (30.0°W), and Thor (0.8°W).

• Multi-Stream & DVB-S2 Support: Includes updated parameters for MIS (Multi-Stream) transponders, 8PSK/16APSK modulation types, and exact FEC rates.

• Optimized & Clean XML Syntax: Formatted without duplicate entries to speed up manual/automatic satellite search routines and prevent tuner crashes.

• Universal Compatibility: Works across all Enigma2 distributions including OpenATV, OpenPLi, BlackHole, OpenBH, EGAMI, PurE2, VTi, and Dreambox OS.
