Kathrein UFS 740sw manual Satellite, Channel scan mode

CHANNEL SEARCH (CHANNEL SCAN)

Satellite

Select the satellite to be scanned, using the  buttons. Make sure your reception system is aligned to the selected satellite. You can scan only one satellite at a time. If you have connected a multi-feed reception system (e.g. reception of ASTRA 19.2° East and HOTBIRD 13° East), you must repeat this procedure once for each satellite. You can however start the first installation again, in the course of which a channel scan of all the satellites you selected is performed.

Press the  button to move to the next selection item.

Channel scan mode

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

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

Press the  button to move to the next selection item.

Network scan

Use the  buttons (On/Off) to select whether a network scan should be performed. If you set the network scan to “Off”, only the factory stored transponders of the satellites you previously selected will be scanned 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 scanned 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 scan you will see the following message (example):
