The file is a specialized database file used by satellite TV receivers, most notably the Openbox and Skybox series . It serves as the primary storage for "TP" (Transponder) and "Prog" (Program/Channel) information, essentially acting as the receiver's channel list. Functional Review
Stores satellite names, transponder frequencies, and channel lineups.
The file is efficient for its intended purpose—managing satellite metadata—but it is notoriously rigid for end-users to manage without external tools.
The database structure is often limited. For instance, some versions have a hard cap of 64 satellites ; exceeding this can cause database errors or "brick" the channel list. User Experience
Allows for quick "channel gift" updates where a pre-configured list of channels is loaded onto a receiver via USB.
