TYPES.OF.SCan
Each of the types of scan described below scans
only one satellite at a time . If your system can
receive channels from more than one satellite, you
must select and scan each satellite in turn .
If you carry out a network scan you need to
understand the technical details of what you wish
to scan for, so you may need to consult a magazine
that gives this kind of information .
Fast.scan
This uses default transponder values for faster results .
nIT.scan
This uses a network Information table to scan all
of the satellite's transponders that are included
in the NIT . For a NIT scan, information about one
transponder (frequency, polarisation and symbol
rate) is needed and the other transponders are
scanned automatically .
This scan finds all the available TV and radio
channels and puts them on their respective channel
lists, starting at number 100 .
Exhaustive.scan
This searches for all channels on the satellite and
may take up to 20 minutes .
Frequency.scan
This is a very specific scan, which searches just a
single transponder for all the TV and radio channels
transmitted by that transponder . You must set the
frequency, polarisation and symbol rate for the
transponder you want .

buttons until the one you want to scan is displayed .
To change any of the Frequencies or symbol
rates, first use the U D buttons to highlight the
one you want to edit . Then use the L R buttons to
underline each digit, and the number buttons to
enter digits .
To change a highlighted Polarisation, use the
L R buttons until the polarisation you want is
displayed .
To start the scan, using the values you have entered,
press the oK button .
When the scan is complete and the words scan
finished appear, press the oK button to save all the
channels that were found .

You will therefore have to start a new scan for
channels.
