In order to transfer the program list and edit via the Sony Channel Editor app you have to insert a usb stick in a television socket: did you do it?

Do you think this a shop for expert? Or are you aware that this is a user community only?

First thing worth asking - The satellite receiver (and USB recording) options are not available if YouView is enabled, this bizaare situation affects a number of Sony Android TVs in the UK.

Do you have YouView enabled? (when you watch regular freeview TV via a roof top antenna does the TV guide show Youview black/blue branding.

To use satellite and USB recording, YouView must be disabled which has the added annoyance that I think ITV and CH4 'all 4' streaming services are no longer accessible in the 'Sony select' players.... BBC i player is still available though.

This rather critical and utterly stupid software design gets a tiny mention in the bottom of the specs on Sony's UK website.

Apologies if this is not your issue but it does catch many people out.

OK, so you're trying to edit satellite channels, can you sucessfully tune in any satellite channels?

Yes but the problem is they i can't edit the channel,because what has access is in the white zone and what is not in the gray zone.Programe satellites edit gray area.

Hmmm it sounds the same problem someone else posted:

https://community.sony.co.uk/t5/android-tv/free-sat-satellite-channels-on-wrong-channels-in-weekly-tv-guide/m-p/2700160#M41046

They also say the satellite channels are greyed out when trying to edit... these TVs don't have Freesat tv guide but just a very basic satellite receiver and I'm not sure what you can do.
