Channels menu – channel management
Digital television technology makes a large number of channels available. A reception unit suitable for the ASTRA 19° East und EUTELSAT/HOTBIRD 13° East satellites allows you to receive over 800 FTA TV and radio programmes.
To allow you to manage and control this range of channels, the memory for the lists is divided into two sections:
-one channel pool for radio and TV respectively, each with 2000 programme memory positions
-8 assigned favourites lists for radio and for TV respectively, each with 1000 programme memory positions
Use the # button (blue) to switch between TV and radio.
New channels found during a search are stored in both the channel pool and in the currently selected favourites list, at the end of the memory area for the selected satellite.
This area is set with empty channels, known as placeholder channels, at the factory.
Pxxx ~ ~~~~~~~ Placeholder for Astra 19° satellite Pyyy ~~ ~~~~~~ Placeholder for Eutelsat 13° satellite
When the channel pool is sorted alphabetically, the placeholder channels appear at the end. You can also increase the number of placeholders by copying a placeholder repeatedly from the channel pool to the favourites list.
After the search you should call up the “Channel arrangement”
window with the ! button (green).
A major advantage of the double memory organisation (channel pool and favourites list) is that the “junk programming” that is deleted from the list remains in the pool so it is not found again during the next search.
Another advantage is that channels that are accidentally deleted can be copied back into the favourites list from the channel pool.
