3.3 Scanning for Satellite TV Channels
Open the apps screen and select
Settings
>
Service Search.
Three methods are available to scan for satellite TV channels.
Scanning all available transponders for every channel
Scanning for multiple channels that a specific transponder carries.
Scanning for a specific one of multiple channels that a specific
transponder carries.
Some option items are used in common in more than one scanning
method, as follows:
Satellite
: Choose a target satellite from the list of satellites.
Search Type
: Determine which types of channels to scan for.
All Service
: Scan for all available TV and radio channels.
FTA Only
: Scan only for free TV and radio channels.
TV Only
: Scan only for free and pay TV channels.
Network Search
: A transponder usually has information about
other transponders provided by the same satellite TV service
provider. It is better to turn on this option so that the receiver uses
broadcast network information for faster and more precise
scanning.
When any dish settings need to be reconfigured, select
Dish Setting
or
Positioner Setting
to jump to the relevant menu. To return to this menu,
select
Service Search
.
Particular LNBs have an indicator light to show if the signal strength is
good enough for the receiver to perform a channel scan. This may be
useful when installing a new satellite dish. To activate this function, press
the green button and then confirm to use it.
