Set/Modify Auto Tune Parameters

1. At the [Satellite (#)] Command > prompt, type atset and press Enter.

2. At the Change auto tune settings (y/n)? prompt, either:

•Type y and press Enter to modify the current auto tune settings.

•Type n and press Enter to return to the Satellite Receiver Menu without modifying the auto tune settings.

3. At the Enable auto tune (y/n)? prompt, either:

•Type y and press Enter to enable and configure auto tune settings. Continue with step 4.

•Type n and press Enter to disable auto tuning on the transcoder. Go to step 7.

4.At the Enter auto tune time (0-23)prompt, type the hour, in 24-hour clock format, at which the auto tune will run. Then, press Enter. Make sure to choose a time when TVs are not likely to be in use, as the picture will change for approximately 20 seconds during the auto tune.

Note: If you type an invalid entry at any of the auto tune settings prompts, the system will retain the existing settings and return immediately to the Satellite Receiver Menu. Repeat steps 3 to 6 to configure all of the settings.

5.At the Enter the primary tune to channel prompt, enter an HD MPEG-4 channel from the subscribed channel lineup as the primary auto tune channel. Then, press Enter.

6.At the Enter the secondary tune to channel prompt, enter an HD MPEG-4 channel from the subscribed channel lineup as the secondary auto tune channel. Then, press Enter. (If the transcoder is set to the primary auto tune channel, the secondary channel will be used for auto tuning.)

After you enter the secondary channel, the system will display confirmation: Auto tune set... OK

7.Without further user intervention:

•Any modifications to auto tune time or channel settings or a change from “enabled” to “disabled” status will take effect after the current auto tune cycle is completed. For example, if auto tune was previously scheduled for 5 AM, and you just disabled auto tuning, the changes will not take effect until after the next 5 AM auto tune cycle completes.

•If you enabled auto tuning after it had been previously disabled, the change will not take effect until 3 AM.

To implement changes immediately, return to the card menu (see section below), and reset the transcoder (see “Reset the Selected Transcoder Card” on page 43).

At the [Satellite (#)] Command > prompt, type ret and press Enter to return to the card menu.
