FIRST INSTALLATION: Channel search

Execute 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 seach; 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 scan “only free and scrambled”, “only free” or “only scrambled” channels.

To view scrambled channels you need the appropriate CA (Conditional Access) module and a valid smart card together with a valid subscription to a Pay-TV provider.

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

Press the ! (green) button to start the channel search, or if you set the channel search to “No” 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):
