12Introduction and getting started

It may take several minutes for the search, and it is common for no channels to be found until quite late in the process. Be patient; when the scan is complete, you will see a mes- sage telling you how many TV and radio channels, or services, have been found. Press OK to save the list, and then press Menu to move back to the main menu from the Installation screen.

If you receive signals from more than one transmitter, or are in a poor reception area, you may miss some channels, or receive duplicates of others when searching. You can find out how to resolve this problem in the Advanced Features section of the manual.

1.5.2 Basic system settings

As well as tuning your PVR in to the available channels, there are also some other settings that you should check, to ensure that you get the best performance from your new TF 5800.

Remember that you’ll also need to check these settings if you decide to perform a full reset of your PVR at any time.

1.5.3 Time and date options

First, we’ll set the time options, which ensure that the PVR knows where it is, and displays the correct time for programmes in the Electronic Programme Guide. From the Main menu, choose System Setting, and then Time setting. You should see a screen like this one.
