Manual installation

Manual installation is intended for expert users.

You can use Manual installation to quickly add new channels from a satellite transponder. You need to know the frequency and polarization of the transponder. The TV will install all channels of that transponder. If the transponder was installed before, all its channels - the former and the new ones - are moved to the end of the channel list All.

You cannot use Manual installation if you need to change the number of satellites. If this is needed, you have to do a complete installation with Install satellites.

Troubleshooting

The TV cannot find the satellites I want or the TV installs the same satellite twice

•Make sure that the correct number of satellites is set in Settings at the start of the installation. You can set the TV to search for One, Two or 3/4 satellites.

A dual head LNB cannot find a second satellite

•If the TV finds one satellite but cannot find a second one, turn the dish a few degrees. Align the dish to get the strongest signal on the first satellite. Check the signal strength indicator of the first satellite on screen. With the first satellite set at the strongest signal, select Search again to find the second satellite.

•Make sure the settings are set to Two satellites.

Changing the installation settings did not solve my problem

•All settings, satellites and channels are only stored at the end of the installation when you finish.

All satellite channels are gone.
