Scanning for Every Channel
Three methods are available for scanning for every channel.
• Set
Search Mode
to
Auto
. With this method, the receiver uses its numerous
database of transponders when scanning for channels. Choose
Time Calib-
ration
and determine how long the receiver should wait to get time inform-
ation from each transponder.
• Set
Search Mode
to
Blind
. Transponders occasionally change, so the re-
ceiver may happen to miss some channels when scanning for channels using
the transponder database. With this method, the receiver scans all potential
transponders using every possible combination of transponder elements not
to miss any channel in a scan. However, it takes much longer time.
• Set
Search Mode
to
Fast Scan
. Particular satellite TV service providers man-
age dedicated transponders to provide up-to-date transponder information.
With this method, the receiver uses that sort of transponder for faster and
more precise scanning. Choose
Select Operator
and select a satellite TV ser-
vice provider.
Make sure that the common options are properly configured before selecting
Start Search
to start a channel scan.
Scanning a Specific Transponder
Generally, one transponder carries multiple TV channels. To scan a specific
transponder for the channels it carries, set
Search Mode
to
Manual
. Users need
to get several details about a target transponder.
•
Frequency
: Choose a target transponder from the list of transponders.
•
Symbol rate
: Specify the transponder’s symbol rate.
•
Polarity
: Specify the transponder’s polarization.
Make sure that the common options are properly configured before selecting
Start Search
to start a channel scan.
