PVR800 Openbox S9/S10? Data Files Question

[Rimfred]

I have dumped 2 different files. TP_Prog.dbs and HDS2_Dump.abs. When I open them with Ali Editor they appear the same. Is there a difference in these files? Neither seems to keep my Favorites Groups names that I set in the receiver. I am cosidering purchasing a PVR950 for another system. Will the data files be interchangeable? Is the PVR950 an Openbox S10 or newer?

abs file seems to have firmware it too. I say that because the fix for the AC3 audio and motor where in one of those file for the PVR800. I would not take a PVR800 and load it into the PVR950 or visa versa. I did a dump and make a backup file first. Then I added some channels manual we use to have to do this for the CW on 91w. Those channels would not blind scan they had to be added manually. It worked fine. I haven't updated my receiver in some time. Not sure what the newest PVR800 firmware is and what bug was fixed. My main issues with my receiver the picture freezes for a second because the receiver struggles with DVB-2 with high symbol rates. I would hate to see you brick your receivers be careful and back backup files always!

Thanks for the info Frisky. Are those CW channels still there?

They started using DVB-S2 now so you can now blind scan them or just search this transponder 15 at 3990/H/14400 they switched in February if I remember correctly.
