7.7 Programme Search

As mentioned previously, your receiver has been pre-programmed to receive signals from the ASTRA and EUTELSAT satellites. In order to add new channels, or those received from other satellites, there are four possibilities of carrying out a programme/channel search. Please note that your Basic Settings (5.2 - search mode) will determine whether only free-to- air or all (free-to-air and scrambled) channels will be searched.

1. All:

All satellites and transponders selected will be searched.

2. Satellite:

Choose this option to find specific channels or bouquets.

3. Transponder:

Choose this option to scan a specific transponder of a specific satellite. You can search for all or selected programmes of a particular transponder.

4. Program:

This option is intended specifically for cases where the desired channel could not be found by any of the other options. Please note that to utilise this search method, you will have to enter the specific Service ID Number of the channel, which you can obtain from the broadca- ster, or from the Internet.

Once the search has been completed, the number of channels identified by your receiver will be displayed on your screen, also stating how many of these are new channels. New chan- nels are shown in red type in the Total List, and can be transferred to the User List in accor-

dance with Point 7 (Changing the Basic Programming).

> In order to search for programmes, press the Menu key to display the Main Menu.
