SEARCH CHANNELS (CHANNEL SEARCH)

The buttons allow you to select different sets of parameters for the scan.

Satellite

Use the buttons to select the satellite on which the transponder you wish to scan is located. Make sure your reception system is aligned to the selected satellite. You can search only one transponder at a time. If you wish to search several transponders on a satellite, you should start an automatic search of the transmitting satellite.

Press the button to move to the next selection item.

Transponder frequency

Select the transponder to be scanned, using the  buttons or the keypad. At the bottom right of the screen display, the receiver shows the current signal strength and signal quality of the selected transponder.

Press the button to move to the next selection item.

Channel Search Mode

Use the buttons to select whether you wish to search “free & encrypted” or “only free” channels. Press the button to move to the next selection item.

Network Search

Use the  buttons (On/Off) to select whether a network scan should be performed. If you set the network search to “Off”, only the factory stored transponders of the satellites you previously selected will be searched for new as yet unlisted channels.

If you set the network scan to “On”, the transponder network enables additional transponders that have not yet been stored to be located. They are then stored and searched for new channels in the same way as the existing transponders.

When you have made your settings, use the  buttons to select “Start Search” and press the  button to start scanning. You can cancel the scan at any time by pressing the button.

During the search you will see a display that shows you the progress of the search and the channels found so far. Newly found channels are identified with the designation “New” after the channel name.
