Change Icon of Satellite Box

[Amr]

I have 3 satellite sources in my Project, one local to be left as is and two installed in my racks, can i change the icons of these two sat boxes? Where to look?

Actually they all IR based, so generic C4 drivers, is there a way I can change these stock icons?

Just because it's IR doesn't mean it may not be locked down (though it's rare).

Depending on the driver, it may need to first be converted to the new format, then you can add or change icons.

HOWEVER once you change icons ALL devices using that driver would use those icons, so to create different icons for different instances of the same source, you would need to create separate drivers and mark them as such in a way Composer won't try and update one with the other.

Oh and if you're changing driver types, they cannot be replaced in-line normally (not impossible, but those able to implement that are surprisingly few), so the old drivers would need to be deleted, new drivers added, connections redone, order reset in navigators and any programming that depend on the driver or call on the driver would need to be redone as well. (ie when cable box turns on...but also when button is pressed, select cable box).

Same goes if you want to use say three different icons (and thus drivers) - you are likely looking at redoing all the programming etc. (It CAN be done if the current driver is the newer format already, but most dealers that can convert/are willing to convert drivers to begin with wouldn't know how to do THAT)

Lastly, if you use channels for selection option, you'd have to take extra care in adapting the drivers to ensure they use the same 'cloud' or that gets messed up as well.

 

Long story short, this is not something you can just change as an end user.
