Response to Over-air Commands

D.2.1

General

This section describes the response of the Receiver to Over-air commands.
D.2.2

Display On-screen Display (OSD) Messages

Displays a text string on the LCD front panel. The display is forced to
MENU # 1 page 6, STATUS MESSAGE. The message is displayed for a set
time or until cleared from the Head-End.
NOTE...
Unlike the previous System 3000 Receivers, the viewing Monitor does NOT display messages (except
fingerprinting), all user interaction is via the front panel.
D.2.3

Store Carrier Data

Stores a particular service as a preset channel. Subsequently, the
head-end can force a service selection from this preset – see Force
Service Retune following. Director presets are different to those set up in
LOCAL ONLY mode (see MENU #2 PRESET). They are not visible to the
user on the front panel LCD.
D.2.4

Set Power-up Channel

Sets the Receiver power-up service. If the Emergency Channel has not
been set, it is set to this service.
If neither the Emergency nor Power-up Channel have been set, the
Alteia will be in an indeterminate state at power-up.
NOTE...
This is different to the situation in LOCAL ONLY mode, which chooses the service it last received.
D.2.5

Force Carrier Retune

Forces the Receiver to retune to a different frequency and/or service. This
could be a service on a different feed (e.g. LNB input 2) or a service
previously set up using the Store Carrier Data command.
Timeouts allow the Receiver to revert to the original service after the time
has expired. If the command fails, the Emergency channel is used. Enter
a timeout of not less than 15 secs (except 0 to permanently switch to the
new service) to give the Receiver time to retune.
This command fails if the LNBs are not set up realistically (which may
happen if the source is changed).
Take care when retuning to services on different LNB inputs. Force Service
Selection is more efficient if the required service is on the same frequency
and LNB input.
