nel changes the receive parameters, then this
is automatically updated by RAPS. In case of
new channels, such channels are added. If
channels are permanently discontinued, then
the corresponding channel number is deleted.
However, new channels are not only added,
but allocated to logic blocks, correspondingly
enabling easier finding. That is why certain
areas may remain free. Example: For Germany,
there is the basic list as well as the areas Third
Channels, Info + Sports, Special Interest, Local
TV, as well as News starting at channel number
100 and many Music Channels starting at
channel number 123.
You can cancel RAPS installation by pressing
the key
EXIT whilst the countdown of RAPS
installation is running (and also at a later point
in time during installation).
The then displayed channel list is a prepro-
grammed factory list. However, such list is not
updated via satellite due to cancelled RAPS
installation!
The respective up-to-date RAPS lists are
available via the satellite Astra 19.2°. Corre-
spondingly, RAPS can only be used within the
footprint of the satellite Astra 19.2°; further-
more, your system should be suitable for digi-
tal Astra receiving.
