All of the programmes set up are listed in the table enclosed. If your satellite receiving system uses a feed system with a different oscillator fre- quency, the receiver only needs to be matched to the feed system oscillator fre- quency during the installation.

Here you can turn off the power supply for the feed system if this is implemented by an external power supply and signal selection is likewise not carried out by means of the LNB supply voltage (e.g. Kathrein single-cable feed system UAS 330).
As a result, you can easily install the UFD 400 on other receiving systems without needing to reprogramme every single programme slot. You only need to set up the particular oscillator frequencies that your receiving system uses.
