Scanning for Every Channel
Three methods are available for scanning for every channel.
• Set Search Mode to Auto. With this method, the receiver uses its numer-
ous database of transponders when scanning for channels. Choose Time
Calibration and determine how long the receiver should wait to get time
information from each transponder.
• Set Search Mode to Blind. Transponders occasionally change, so the re-
ceiver may happen to miss some channels when scanning for channels
using the transponder database. With this method, the receiver scans
all potential transponders using every possible combination of trans-
ponder elements not to miss any channel in a scan. However, it takes
much longer time.
• Set Search Mode to Fast Scan. Particular satellite TV service providers
manage dedicated transponders to provide up-to-date transponder in-
formation. With this method, the receiver uses that sort of transponder
for faster and more precise scanning. Choose Select Operator and select
a satellite TV service provider.
Make sure that the common options are properly configured before select-
ing Service Search to start channel scan.
Scanning a Specific Transponder
Generally, one transponder carries multiple TV channels. To scan a specific
transponder for the channels it carries, set Search Mode to Manual. Users
need to get several details about a target transponder.
• Frequency: Choose a target transponder from the list of transponders.
• Symbol rate: Specify the transponder’s symbol rate.
• Polarity: Specify the transponder’s polarization.
