Update channel packages
With

channels that were in the satellite channel list before but are

Unicable setup
The Unicable system
You can use a Unicable system to connect the antenna dish to
the TV. A Unicable system uses one cable to connect the
satellite dish to all satellite receivers in its system. Unicable is
typically used in apartment buildings. If you use a Unicable
system, the TV will ask you to assign a user band number and
corresponding frequency during the installation. You can install 1
or 2 satellites with Unicable on this TV.
If you notice some missing channels after a Unicable installation,
another installation might have been done at the same moment
on the Unicable system. Do the installation again to install the
missing channels.
User band number
In a Unicable system, each connected satellite receiver must be
numbered (e.g. 0, 1, 2 or 3 etc.).
You can find the available user bands and their number on the
Unicable switchbox. User band is sometimes shortened as UB.
There are Unicable switchboxes that offer 4 or 8 user bands. If
you select Unicable in the settings, the TV will ask you to assign
the unique user band number for its built-in satellite receiver. A
satellite receiver cannot have the same user band number as
another satellite receiver in the Unicable system.
User band frequency
Next to the unique user band number, the built-in satellite
receiver needs the frequency of the selected user band number.
These frequencies are mostly shown next to the user band
number on a Unicable switchbox.
Add a satellite
You can add an additional satellite to your current satellite
installation. The installed satellites and their channels remain
untouched. However, some satellite operators do not allow
adding a satellite.
The additional satellite should be seen as an extra, it is not your
main satellite subscription or not the main satellite of which you
use its channel package. Typically, you would add a 4th satellite
when you have 3 satellites already installed. If you have 4
satellites installed, you might consider removing one first to be
able to add a new satellite.
Settings
If you currently have only 1 or 2 satellites installed, the current
installation settings might not allow adding an extra satellite. If
you need to change the installation settings, you must redo the
complete satellite installation. You cannot use
Add satellite
if a
change of settings is needed.
