by the edges and flex it left/right while watching the signal quality if it increases when you flex in
one direction then loosen the hardware and make small adjustments. is can be done with the

Satellites to Scan will be displayed.
NOTE: I have all ways found the best way to Scan Transponders by selecting the Satellite and deleting all
the Transponders except the first one, leave NUMBER ONE Transponder and SCAN that Transponder. is
will bring in more channels than a AUTO SCAN.
AUTO SCAN:
Auto Scan is the most used with FTA receivers. Select the Satellite / Satellites and check the box to each
Satellite and press OK. e receiver will now Scan all pre-selected Satellites.
