EXPLANATION OF THE SEARCH MODES

In the various menu pages you can make a selection from various search modes. The search
mode gives the possibility to scan a satellite or transponder in a particular manner. The
search modes are identified as:
All In this mode the built-in database is used to select the available transponders.
The digital channels that belong to these transponders are searched for and
added to the all channel list.
FTA In this mode the built-in database is used to only search for the available
FTA channels which are then added to the all channel list. In the real world it
seems that the service providers do not always accurately code their channels
with a scrambled or FTA code. For this reason you may find that some
searched channels are scrambled. Also there is a possibility that scrambled
channels are coded as FTA. These channels will then be missed out because
of the erroneous code.
Network In this mode the built-in database or information from the received stream is
used to search for the transponders that are included with the currently
received network. The digital channels that belong to this network are
searched for and added to the all channel list.
TP In this mode the built-in database or information from the received stream is
used to search for or scan in the selected transponder. The digital channels
that belong to this transponder only are searched for or scanned in and added
to the all channel list.
Digital In this mode the built-in database is used to search for the available digital
channels. The digital channels are then added to the all channel list. The digital
channels are shown as white channel names for easy recognition.
Digital IF In this mode the currently received satellite is scanned for digital channels. The
digital channels, within the tuner bandwidth and selected symbol rates are
scanned in and added to the all channel list.
Update In this mode the built-in database is used to search for the available digital
channels. Then all new channels are added to the all channel list.
None Transponders on the selected satellite are not searched for.
