Scanning a Specific
Transponder
Generally, one transponder carries
multiple TV channels. To scan a specific
transponder for the channels it carries,
set Search Mode to Manual. Users need
to get several details about a target
transponder.
• Frequency: Choose a target transponder
from the list of transponders.
• Symbol rate: Specify the transponder’s
symbol rate.
• Polarity: Specify the transponder’s
polarization.
• TRANSMISSION: Specify the modulation
method used for the transponder.
DVB-S2 is usually used for HD channels.
Make sure that the common options are
properly configured before selecting
Service Search to start a channel scan.
Scanning for One Channel
To scan for only one specific channel,
set Search Mode to Advanced. Each satellite
TV channel has unique packet IDs used
wait to get time information from each
transponder.
• Set Search Mode to Blind. Transponders
occasionally change, so the receiver
may happen to miss some channels
when scanning for channels using
the transponder database. With this
method, the receiver scans all potential
transponders using every possible
combination of transponder elements
not to miss any channel in a scan.
However, it takes much longer time.
• Set Search Mode to Fast Scan. Particular
satellite TV service providers manage
dedicated transponders to provide
up-to-date transponder information.
With this method, the receiver uses
that sort of transponder for faster and
more precise scanning. Choose Select
Operator and select a satellite TV service
provider.
Make sure that the common options are
properly configured before selecting
Service Search to start a channel scan.
to distinguish between channels. In
addition to the information about a
target transponder, users need to know
what packet IDs a target channel uses.
• Video PID: Specify the channel’s video
packet ID.
• Audio PID: Specify the channel’s audio
packet ID.
• PCR PID: Specify the channel’s PCR
(programme clock reference) packet ID.
This is usually identical to video PID. If
the video PID setting doesn’t work, try
8191.
Make sure that the common options are
properly configured before selecting
Service Search to start a channel scan.
