Homing Transponder and LNB
In some countries, you can adjust the expert settings
for homing transponder and each LNB. Only use or
change these settings when a normal installation fails.
If you have non-standard satellite equipment, you
can use these settings to overrule the standard
settings. Some providers might give you some
transponder or LNB valeus which you can enter here.
Satellite CAMs
If you use a CAM – a Conditional Access Module with
a smart card – to watch satellite channels, we
recommend to do the satellite installation with the
CAM inserted in the TV.
Most CAMs are used to descramble channels.
Newest generation CAMs (CI+ 1.3 with Operator
Profile), can install all the satellite channels by
themselves on your TV. The CAM will invite you to
install its satellite(s) and channels. These CAMs not
only install and descramble the channels but also
handle regular channel updates.
Channel packages
About channel packages
Satellites can offer channel packages that bundle free
channels (free-to-air) and offer a sorting that suits a
country. Some satellites offer subscription packages -
a collection of channels you pay for.
If you choose a subscription package, the TV might
ask you to select a Quick or Full installation.
Select Satellite operator channels only to install the
channels of the package only or select All satellite
channels to install the package and all other
available channels too. We recommend a Quick
installation for subscription packages. If you have
additional satellites that are not part of your
subscription package, we recommend a Full
installation. All installed channels are put in the
channels list All.
Update channel packages
With Update channel package, you can bring back
satellite channels that were in the satellite channel list
before but are now missing. The missing channels
were repositioned on the transponder by the satellite
operator. The TV must be updated with the latest
version of the channel package.
To download the latest version of the channel
package . . .
1 - Go to the Philips support
website www.philips.com/support and enter the
type number of your TV.
2 - Click on Software and drivers and look for the
file : PredefinedSortingList
3 - Download the file on your computer and copy
the file on the root directory of a USB flash drive, not
in a folder (if necessary, unzip the file first).
4 - Plug the USB flash drive into the TV Press ,
select Satellite Installation and press OK.
5 - Select Satellite settings > Channel
installation > Update channel package and
press OK.
6 - The TV will copy the file and ask you to start a
channel update immediately. Select Yes and
press OK. This may take a few minutes. If you want
to postpone the channel update, you can do it later
with Setup > Search for satellite > Update
channels.
7 - After the channel update is done, the missing
channels should be back at their former position in
the satellite channel list.
Unicable setup
The unicable system
You can use a Single Cable system, MDU or Unicable
system to connect the antenna dish to the TV. A
Single Cable system uses one cable to connect the
satellite dish to all satellite tuners in its system. A
Single Cable system is typically used in apartment
buildings. If you use a Unicable system, the TV will ask
you to assign a user band number and corresponding
frequency during the installation. You can install 1 or 2
satellites with Unicable on this TV.
If you notice some missing channels after a Unicable
installation, another installation might have been
done at the same moment on the Unicable system.
Do the installation again to install the missing
channels.
User band number
In a Unicable system, each connected satellite tuner
must be numbered (e.g. 0, 1, 2 or 3 etc.).
You can find the available user bands and their
number on the Unicable switchbox. User band is
sometimes shortened as UB. There are Unicable
switchboxes that offer 4 or 8 user bands. If you select
Unicable in the settings, the TV will ask you to assign
the unique user band number for each built-in
