TO THE TEST
CHANNELS: FULL CHANNEL SCAN
You can do a complete scan of free to air channels to see what channels are available to your set-top box.
DO A CHANNEL SCAN
Hang tight.
Your set-top box will take about 3 minutes to scan, and you’ll have to wait until it has
finished before you use any other functions. Once the scan is done, check out the results by selecting
the
Manage Channels
or
FTA Channel Test
pages.
CHANNELS: FTA CHANNEL TEST
The
FTA Channel Test
checks individual free to air channels to make sure their performance is up to scratch.
TEST A CHANNEL
The current and maximum quality available for the channel will appear on screen.
The results will display the current and maximum quality available for the selected channel. This depends on
the speed of your broadband connection, whether you’re using the Internet for other things (like downloading
Movie Rentals or recording a subscription channel) and how many devices are accessing your home network
at any given time. If your current quality is a bit low, head to the
Troubleshooting
section for ways to improve it.
The channel frequency, signal strength and quality results should pop up on screen.
If signal strength or quality is less than 50%, you might have a few issues watching or recording
the channel. Head to the
Troubleshooting
section for tips on improving your reception.
