Step Five

Save FTG file

The FTG program will create a directory at Program Files/Zenith/FTG/TLX.

Save .tlx file using consistent naming convention. Example: MT_CH100 or MT_CH33-1

Step Six

Create additional FTG files for each STB 2000.

Each STB2000 on the Mediatune system must have a unique channel lineup. (Remember only
two channels per QAM in Mediatune)

It is not necessary to create installer files each time you create a new TLX file.

Reopen the FTG Channel Map Configuration Utility.

In the TLX File box click Open and select the first file you created from the Zenith/FTG/
TLX Directory

Double clicking on the file will load it into the TLX File Content box.
