Extract text from MYTV channel lists (MYS)
To convert MYS channel lists to another format, you need MYTV Receiver Firmware or other Settings software.
To convert other file formats to the "Configuration File" file type, you need software like MYTV Receiver Firmware or a similar tool.
The .MYS extension creates a frustrating duality for users: you likely hold either a proprietary channel configuration file from a MYTV satellite receiver or a locked data vault created by the legacy MySecret encryption utility.
In the case of MYTV files (approx. 25% of shares), these serve as a backup of your channel tuning and sorting preferences, exported via USB from set-top boxes (common in Malaysia and Nigeria). The friction here is high - these are not standard text files. You cannot simply double-click to edit your channel order in Notepad++. They often require specific, clunky proprietary channel editors (like SetEdit or AliEditor) to view or modify effectively. Users typically want to convert these to XML, UDF, or CSV to reorder channels on a PC before re-uploading to the box.
Alternatively, if your file is from MySecret (approx. 23%), it is an encrypted container holding sensitive documents, often named like document.doc.mys. Without the original software and password, the content is essentially random noise. The only true "conversion" here is decryption back to the original format (e.g., DOCX, JPG, PDF).
A rare third possibility is a Vineyard Captured Video file or an asset from the game Myst, though these are legacy formats with minimal modern support.
Use Convert.Guru to open and convert your MYS file.
Users also converted M3S, NPG and UVX files.
If you want to convert MYS file to MP4, AVI, MOV, WMV, FLV, WEBM, MKV, M4V, 3GP, OGV, ASF or RM, you can use MYTV Receiver Firmware or similar software from the "Satellite Channel Configuration" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert MTS, MOV, RMVB, DIVX, RM, H264, TS, WMV, VOB, MP4, XVID or AVI files to MYS, try MYTV Receiver Firmware or another comparable tool in the "Satellite Channel Configuration" category.
The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our MYS converter.
