Chapter 7 Scan For Spot Beams And Satellite Services - Dish Network Smartbox User Manual

CHAPTER 7 SCAN FOR SPOT BEAMS AND
SATELLITE SERVICES
Scanning for spot beams updates the list of visible services that needs to be updated when changing local
markets (known as DMAs); scanning for satellite services checks which of those services your account is
authorized for.
1. Click the Chassis tab.
2. If the satellite feeds were scanned in a different location, click Start Spot Beam Scan. If the satellite feeds
were scanned in the current location, go to the next step. The status of the scan appears to the right of the
Apply and Undo buttons (See Figure 15.). Close the information message when the scan is complete.
The Spot Beam Scan will interrupt service output while the Network Information Table (NIT) is built. The NIT
describes which orbital/transponder each service is available on and is also built during the initial satellite
feed scan.
3. Click Scan for Satellite Services. The system will begin comparing the information in the NIT to the
Service Authorizations for each ProCAM. Once complete, the list of services for which your
authorized will be available on the Services page. This scan will not interrupt service.
