The satellite actually used for the search will be shown on screen. After
the satellite has been found, the system automatically switches to a
channel that is transmitted via this satellite.
Please note that not all satellites and all channels can be received in
all locations. Reception also depends on the size of the antenna. If
you are not sure whether your pre-set satellite can actually be
received in your current location, use the "Search via location"
function. In this case the satellite system will automatically select a
receivable satellite.
Manual search
By selecting this menu option you open a menu that allows the manual
control and adjustment of your satellite system. Before selecting this
menu item, switch to a channel that is receivable at your current
location, as otherwise no picture can be received (see appendix
'Channel list' and appendix 'Search satellite' on page 61).
The manual search is recommended if you wish to optimize the
antenna position or aim the antenna at new satellites. The menu
displays the rotation and elevation in degrees relative to your vehicle
and the signal strength. The strongest signal will provide the best
picture quality. However, signal strength varies with the channel and
location. Press MENU to open the Main menu, then select option
Configuration, and then option Reception to display the signal level
(see page 40). To receive an image, the signal strength window must
display three green indicators (DVB, FEC and QPSK) and a C/N value of
at least 7 (C/N 8 for encrypted channels).
