FIRST INSTALLATION: Channel search

Perform a Channel search

Use the buttons to select (yes or no) whether you wish to start a channel search. It is not essential to start a channel search; instead you can use the factory pre-programmed channels. However the channels do change from time to time (e.g. their frequencies change), which the receiver does not automatically detect, and can then be found only by performing a channel search.

If you selected “No”, you can press the $ (green) button to skip directly to the next item of the first installation.

If you selected “Yes”, you can press the button to progress to the next selection item.

Channel Search Mode

Use the buttons to select whether you wish to search “free & encrypted”, “only free” or “encrypted only” channels.

The UFS 650 does not allow encrypted channels to be viewed, because no Common Interface is fitted for insertion of the necessary CA modules and smart cards.

Press the button to move to the next selection item.

Network Search

If you set the network search to “Off”, only the factory stored transponders of the satellites you previously selected will be scanned for new and 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.

Press the $(green) button to start the channel search, or if you set channel search to “Off” you are guided straight to the next item in the first installation process.

When the search has been completed, you will see the following message (example):
