Add a Satellite

You can add an additional satellite to your current satellite installation. The installed satellites and their channels remain untouched. Some satellite operators do not allow adding a satellite.

The additional satellite should be seen as an extra, it is not your main satellite subscription or not the main satellite of which you use its channel package. Typically, you would add a 4th satellite when you have 3 satellites already installed. If you have 4 satellites installed, you might consider removing one first to be able to add a new satellite.

Setup

If you currently have only 1 or 2 satellites installed, the current installation settings might not allow adding an extra satellite. If you need to change the installation settings, you must redo the complete satellite installation. You cannot use Add satellite if a change of settings is needed.

To add a satellite…

1 - Press  and press  (left) Setup.

2 - Click Satellite Installation > Search for satellite and click Add Satellite. The current satellites are shown.

3 - Click Search. The TV will search for new satellites.

4 - If the TV has found one or more satellites, click Install. The TV installs the channels of the found satellites.

5 - To store the channels and radio stations, click Finish.

Remove a Satellite

You can remove one or more satellites from your current satellite installation. You remove the satellite and its channels. Some satellite operators do not allow removing a satellite.

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.

To install a transponder…

1 - Press  and press  (left) Setup.

2 - Click Satellite Installation and click Manual Installation.

3 - If you have more than 1 satellite installed, select the satellite/LNB for which you want to add channels.

4 - Set the Polarization you need. If you set the Symbol Rate Mode to Manual, you can enter the symbol rate in Symbol Rate manually. Enter the Frequency and start searching for the transponder.

5 - If a transponder is found, click Store to store the new transponder on the selected LNB.

6 - Click Exit to leave the manual installation.

LNB Settings

In some countries, you can adjust some expert settings for each LNB.

LNB Power

By default, LNB Power is set to On.

22 kHz Tone

By default, the Tone is set to Auto.

Low LO Frequency / High LO Frequency

The local oscillator frequencies are set to standard values. Adjust the values only in case of exceptional equipment that needs different values.

Problems

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
