SEARCHING FOR CHANNELS (CHANNEL SEARCH)
The buttons allow you to select different sets of parameters for the search.
Satellite
Use the buttons to select the satellite on which the transponder you wish to search 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
Use the buttons (transponder frequency already saved) or the number buttons (transponder frequency not yet saved) to select the transponder frequency on which the channel being sought is transmitted. 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.
The selection items: DVB Type, FEC, Polarisation and Symbol Rate need be entered only if the transponder has yet to be saved.
DVB Type
Press the buttons to select whether the search should be for standard channels
FEC
Press the buttons to select the applicable error rate (Viterbi rate). There is no need to enter the error rate when searching for standard channels. Instead a fixed display of “Automatic” appears. When searching for HDTV channels you must enter the correct error rate (either QPSK 1/2, 2/3, 3/4, 3/5, 4/5, 5/6, 8/9, 9/10 or 8PSK 2/3, 3/4, 3/5, 5/6, 8/9, 9/10).
Polarisation
Press the buttons to select the correct polarisation (horizontal or vertical).
Symbol Rate
Use the number buttons to enter the related symbol rate.
Channel Search Mode
Use the buttons to select whether you wish to search “free & scrambled”, “free channels only” or “scrambled only” channels.
To view scrambled channels you need the appropriate CA (Conditional Access) module and a valid smart card together with a valid subscription to the relevant pay TV provider.
Press the button to move to the next selection item.
