3.4 Scanning Satellite TV Channels
Open the Settings > Installation > Satellite Search menu.
Three methods are available for scanning for satellite TV channels.
• Scanning all available transponders for every channel
• Scanning for multiple channels that a specific transponder carries.
• Scanning for a specific one of multiple channels that a specific trans-
ponder carries.
Some option items, including Satellite and Tuner, are used in common in
two or more scanning methods, as follows:
• Satellite: Choose a target satellite from the list of satellites.
• Tuner: Determine which of the dish connectors to use.
• Search Type: Determine which types of channels to scan for.
• All Service: Scan for all available TV and radio channels.
• FTA Only: Scan only for free TV and radio channels.
• TV Only: Scan only for free and pay TV channels.
• Network Search: A transponder usually has information about other
transponders provided by the same satellite TV service provider. It is bet-
ter to turn on this option so that the receiver uses broadcast network in-
formation for faster and more precise scanning.
When any dish settings need to be reconfigured, select Dish Setting or Po-
sitioner Setting to jump to the relevant menu. To return to this menu, select
Service Search.
Particular LNBs have a indicator light to show if the signal strength is good
enough for the receiver to perform a channel scan. This may be useful when
installing a new satellite dish. To activate this function, press the green but-
ton and then confirm to use it.
