It offers a range of features for channel management, recording, and multimedia playback, all accessible through a user-friendly interface.

Function Description

The SRT 8222 is a digital terrestrial receiver equipped with twin tuners, allowing you to record one channel while simultaneously watching another, even if they are on different frequencies.

"Scan mode" allows you to choose between scanning for "All" channels (scrambled and free-to-air) or "FTA" (Free-To-Air) channels only. After configuring these settings, initiate a "Channel Search" to find all available channels. If the "Installation Guide" doesn't appear, you can reset the receiver to factory settings via the "MENU" button and "System" submenu, using the default PIN 1234.
