SEARCH CHANNELS (CHANNEL SEARCH)

Satellite
Use the

buttons to select the satellite on which the transponder you want to search is located.
Make sure your reception system is aligned to the selected satellite. You can search only one
transponder at a time. If you want to search several transponders on a satellite, you should start an
automatic search of the transmitting satellite.

Network Search
Use the

the “Network Search” to “Off”, only the factory stored transponders of the satellites you previously
selected will be searched for new as yet unlisted channels.
If you set the “Network Search” to “On”, the transponder network enables additional transponders that
have not yet been stored to be located. They are then stored and searched for new channels in the
same way as the existing transponders.
When you have made your settings, use the

During the search you will see an on-screen display that shows you the progress of the search and
the channels found so far. Newly found channels are identi
fi ed with the designation “New” after the
channel name.
