You can use the same method as described in Point 9.3.3 to block access to radio stations.

9.4 Programme search/scan

As mentioned before, your digital receiver is pre-programmed for reception of the ASTRA and EUTELSAT satellites. To receive new programmes, resp. the programmes of other satellites, there are several options provided to perform a programme search, or scan.

1. Automatic Scan

Select this type of search to scan all the satellites set in the menu Antenna settings (Point 6.4 and 10.4) for programmes.

2. Satellite Scan

Select this type of search to scan only a specific selected satellite for programmes.

3. Transponder Scan

Select this type of search to scan a specific transponder of a single satellite for programmes.

4. Manual Scan

Select this type of search to search specifically for one parti- cular programme, using the programme-specific PID num- bers.

When the scanning procedure has been completed, a mes- sage will appear on your screen, indicating how many pro- grammes were found by the digital receiver, how many of these are new programmes, and how many are encrypted programmes. New programmes are saved in the Total list, and can then be transferred to the Favorites list in accor- dance with Point 9.1.
