3.4.4 Channel management using 10 favourite lists

Digital television technology provides viewers with a wide range of channels. Depending on the number of satellites that can be received, up to 1000 TV and 1000 radio channels are available. To manage this (extremely) large number - who can remember several hundred channels and the associated channel numbers? - the user has ten custom definable favourite lists, enabling him to manage and sort the channels clearly.

A favourite list is a list in which channels selected from a channel pool can be organised. By default the names of the favourite lists are pre-defined similar to the following example. However, the name of the favourite list can be changed according to individual preferences. Each favourite list has the available channel numbers P000....P999.

Favourite list

Name sorted channels (example)

 

 

Example: F0: ALL

(e.g. all free channels from the channel pool)

F1: NEWS

(e.g. PHOENIX, n-TV, N-24, Bloomberg etc.)

F2: SPORT

(e.g. DSF, EuroSport, Motors-TV etc.)

F3: MUSIC

(e.g. MTV, VIVA, VIVA 2, Video Italia, Hit-Channel etc.)

F4: TRAVEL

(e.g. Canal Canarias, Travel-Channel etc.)

F5: SHOPPING

(e.g. Home Shopping, QVC, Wishline, ONYX etc.)

F6: CHILDREN

(e.g. KIKA + other children’s channels etc.)

F7: MISCELLANEOUS (e.g. - all channels not previously allocated)

F8: ABC

(e.g. ...)

F9: XYZ

(e.g. ...)

The desired channels can be taken from the channel pool, which contains all channels in alphabetical order, and copied into the target, i.e. one of the 10 favourite lists.

All free channels from the channel pool as stored by default in the favourite list 0 = «ALL». Favourite list Fav 0 = ALL thus corresponds to the channel allocation you may already be familiar with from satellite receivers.

Some of the channels transmitted by the Astra 19 and Eutelsat Hotbird 13 satellites are also already contained in various favourite lists.

Selecting a favourite list is done by pressing the F key and one of the allocated number keys 0...9.

N.B.: After selecting a channel the following message is displayed:

3.5 SWITCHING BETWEEN TV AND RADIO

Switching between radio and TV is done using the R or TV keys. Both keys also affect the switching impulse voltage of the TV SCART socket. If you also receive channels on your TV set via antenna or cable, you can switch between the channel received by your TV set or by the satellite receiver using the TV key provided that the switching impulse voltage is detected and processed by your TV set.

N.B.: All channel functions available for TV (last channel, zapper function, favourite lists, channel lists and channel pool etc.) are also available separately for 1000 radio channels.
