5.2.2.3 Manual Scan
[ : MENU > Setup > Service Searching > Manual Scan]
If you know well enough to configure each exact setting
required for manual search of services, you can do manual
scan as well. There are many parameter values that you need to
decide as below.
Amongst other things, the below parameters are what you
need to decide prior to performing manual scan.
1 Tuner
You need to decide which tuner you want to use for manual scan.
2 System Settings
Here you have two options between DVB-S (SD) and DVB-S2 (HD).
3 Frequency
You need to enter the exact frequency of the transponder that you want to scan.
4 Symbol Rate
You need to enter the exact symbol rate of the transponder that you want to scan.
5 Polarization
Here, you have options for Horizontal, Vertical, Circular Left and Circular Right. You need to know the polarity of the transponder
that you want to scan.
6 FEC (Forward Error Correction)
You need to enter the exact FEC value of the transponder that you want to scan.
7 Network Scan
Here you have two options for YES and NO. NO is used to scan the transponder (TP) based on the data that your SF8 HD currently
has. YES is used to scan the TP not just based on the existing TP data but also using new TP data, if there is TP data newly
transported from the TP. Naturally, YES option takes longer while it may results in a better scan result.
8 Clear Before Scan
YES is used when you want to delete the existing channel list before you start the automatic scan. If you want to keep the existing
list, select NO.
9 Only Free Scan
Here you have two options for NO and YES. If you want to scan only Free to Air channels without any encryption, select YES.
Otherwise, select NO to scan all FTA and CAS channels.
Press OK to activate the manual scan. This will take some minutes. As the scan proceeds, you will see the progressive bar and the
newly found services underneath.

In case there are service lists available for certain satellites,
for example, Astra or Hotbird, you can install the lists in the
channel list of your SF8 HD.
If default service lists are not available, you can run the
service scan automatically or manually to add TV and radio
channels to the channel list of your SF8 HD.
