>Use the up/down arrow keys to select the appropriate satellite.

Pressing the up/down arrow keys will move the marker by one line at a time, up or down, while the left/right arrow keys will take you to the previous or following pages respectively.

Should the satellite you are looking for not be included in the list, please select one of the spare settings, which are marked User 1 to User 15.

>Confirm by pressing the OK key.

The highlighted entry will now be inserted in the Menu >Settings>LNB at the pre-

viously selected position
