3 Scanning for Channels
3.1 Satellite Dish Settings
LNB Settings
A group of satellite dish settings must be properly configured for each
desired satellite before performing a channel scan.
Open the apps screen and select Settings > Dish Setting. There are two
signal bars on the lower part of the screen. The signal level bar indicates
how strong the signal is, and the signal quality bar indicates how easy it is
to pick up. To view an enlarged signal bar display, press the blue button.
Configure the following settings properly using the signal bars.
Satellite
: Choose a target satellite from the list of satellites.
Frequency
: Choose a target transponder from the list of
transponders.
LNB Power
: An LNB must be supplied with power to operate. Turn
this on to supply the LNB with power if it doesn’t have its own
power supply.
LNB Type
: Specify what type of LNB is used.
LNB Frequency
: Specify what frequency the LNB generates. A dual-
band LNB, also called universal LNB, generates two alternative
frequencies to receive a wider band of satellite frequencies.
LNB 22 kHz
: Either turn this on or off to pick up a higher or lower
frequency band.
DiSEqC Switch
: If one or more typical DiSEqC switches are used,
this option must be set properly. Specify which of the DiSEqC ports
is connected to the intended dish.
