Page 21 UNIVERSE (REF. 8600) In the RF Output section, the Universe has to be configured differently than the IP Output. While in the IP section, you add services to your list, in the RF section you have to disable services till you have no longer an overflow. The reason is that for instance a 55Mbps satellite transponder will not fit in a DVB-T MUX of 32 Mbps.
