7. The OSD menu – reception
2.3 TP search
To search for a single transponder. This search method is useful if you only want to save a specific
channel or a specific channel package. You can obtain the reception parameters (frequencies,
etc.) on the net or from TV and specialist magazines.
2.3.1 Satellite
Choose a preconfigured satellite from the list. Quit the list by pressing [MENU].
2.3.2 TP index
Displays the current transponder index number. The figure after the slash displays the satellite's
total number of transponders. To add a new transponder press [1], to delete the current transpon-
der press [2]. If you would like to delete all the selected satellite's transponders, press [3].
2.3.3 TP frequency
You normally enter the frequency as five digits, e.g. 12480 (MHz) or you can modify it in separate
steps by pressing the [
왗왘
] buttons and confirming the new reading with [OK]. Caution: the
previous readings are overwritten when you quit the menu and respond with a “YES” to the prompt
for confirmation.
2.3.4 Symbol rate
The symbol rates of the most common satellite transponders are almost always 27500 or 22000.
You can change these values by entering them directly or in separate steps using the [
왗왘
]
buttons. Note: the receiver's symbol rates may /- 10Ks/s.
2.3.5 Polarisation
Satellite signals are transmitted with either horizontal or vertical polarity. Select the appropriate
level H or V. Note: the way figures are often written, e.g. 12480H means: frequency 12480 MHz
and H stands for horizontal.
2.3.6 Search mode
Choose whether you want to save free to air channels or encrypted channels as well.
2.3.7 Network search
The satellites ASTRA (19.2° east) and HOTBIRD (13° east) provide what is known as network
search. These satellites transmit a table (NIT = Network Information Table) on all available
channels. This enables the satellite receiver to pick up all channels.
Signal strength
The signal strength display shows the entire gauge of the signal received.
Signal quality
The signal quality is absolutely crucial for trouble-free reception. Always align the antenna so that
the signal strength and signal quality reach the highest level possible.
