Manual Channel Search
You can use manual channel search if you want to add new channels later. For example If you have a special antenna configuration which is not assigned in the “Antenna alternative” menu, you can add new channels using the “manual channel search” function. When you perform a Manual Search you first need to enter some parameters for the channel search to work. The information you need to enter in this menu is available in magazines covering satellite TV reception, on the Internet or from your Service Provider.
Antenna Alternative: Select Antenna Alternative “1 to 16” that corresponds to the antenna which you wants to use for the search.
Transponder Freq (MHz): Specify the frequency in GHz. using the numbered buttons on your remote control. If you enter the wrong number, erase it with the left arrow button.
Polarization: Select polarization; “Horizontal” or “Vertical”.
Symbol Rate (Msym/S): Enter the rate with the numbered buttons.
FEC: Enter the appropriate Forward Error Correction (FEC) value or select “Auto”.
Network Search: Select: “Yes” to search from all transponders used by a specific Service Provider.
(“Yes” is the default setting). Select “No” to search only from the transponder that you have entered on the line “Transponder Frequency”. (Useful if you do not want to search through all transponders for a specific program distributor).
By pressing the OK button you can now enter the channel search menu where the Mediamaster starts to search for channels from the satellite.

General Information
The following will describe the basic functions of your Mediamaster while watching TV or listening to radio channels.
Sometimes the information may not be displayed as illustrated. Many of the functions described here are dependent on the Service Provider and/or can only be used if they are included in the transmitted programme information.
Please note that during the Channel Search procedure, the Mediamaster has downloaded ALL available channels. This may include channels from various Service Providers, also those to which you normally do not have access. If you select a programme to which you do not have access, you will get the message “Service is scrambled or not running” on the screen.
