3.3 Scanning for Satellite TV Channels
Open the apps screen and select
Settings
>
Service Search
.
Three methods are available to scan for satellite TV channels.
• Scanning all available transponders for every channel
• Scanning for multiple channels that a specific transponder carries.
• Scanning for a specific one of multiple channels that a specific transponder
carries.
Some option items are used in common in more than one scanning method, as
follows:
•
Satellite
: Choose a target satellite from the list of satellites.
•
Search Type
: Determine which types of channels to scan for.
•
All Service
: Scan for all available radio and TV channels.
•
FTA Only
: Scan only for free radio and TV channels.
•
TV Only
: Scan only for free and pay TV channels.
•
Network Search
: A transponder usually has information about other
transponders provided by the same satellite TV service provider.
It is
better to turn on this option so that the receiver uses broadcast network
information for faster and more precise scanning.
When any dish settings need to be reconfigured, select
Dish Setting
or
Posi-
tioner Setting
to jump to the relevant menu. To return to this menu, select
Ser-
vice Search
.
Particular LNBs have an indicator light to show if the signal strength is good
enough for the receiver to perform a channel scan. This may be useful when
installing a new satellite dish. To activate this function, press the green button
and then confirm to use it.
