I wonder how Sony maintains satellite transponder/frequency lists for the full auto scan. At least I couldn’t find a way to manually exchange/edit them. I don’t think that a “full scan” performs a full-blown blind scan. So you can either perform a network scan and hope for the NIT (Network Information Table) to be up-to-date and complete on the predefined transponder or resort to manual frequency scanning I suppose?
I now found out that @svansvan's SDBEditor is able to download transponder lists from flysat.com and write them to a Satellites.xml file. Can those be imported by Sony? How? The same way as channel lists are imported maybe?
SDBEditor 0.0.7
A lot of changes, it's easier to say, what's not done yet:
Adding new transponders and channels.

Thanks for attention
Still my preferred tool. But there are some traps which people might want to be aware of..
(1)
Dragging and dropping channels works via right mouse button (not left as is usually the case).
(2)
Don't 'Delete' a channel. Mark them as 'Deleted' and 'Hidden' or otherwise Auto Service Update in the TV will bring them back when the TV is in standby.
