4.3 Satellite channels

Introduction
As well as the DVB-T and DVB-C reception, this TV has a built-in
satellite DVB-S receiver. With a satellite dish antenna connected,
you can receive digital satellite channels. You do not need an
external satellite receiver.
LNB
An LNB -Low Noise Block-downconverter- captures the signals
from a satellite and is mounted at the end of the pole on the dish
antenna. The TV can receive signals from 4 different LNBs.
Installation
With a properly set-up and connected satellite dish antenna, you can
install satellite channels on the TV.
You can install channels from 4 different satellites (4 LNBs).

Setup > Search for satellite and press OK. If you have already
installed satellites, select Reinstall channels and press OK.
2 Connection type
Before you select Start, you must set up the connection type. The
connection type will determine the number of LNBs (the number of
different satellites) you can install. For ease of use, select the correct
type for the number of satellites you want to install.
To set up the connection type, select Settings and press OK. Select
Connection type and select One LNB if you have only one LNB,
select DiSEqC Mini for 2 LNBs or select DiSEqC 1.0 to install 3 or 4
LNBs. Select Done to close the settings.

To start the installation, select Start and press OK. The TV searches
for all available satellites. This can take several minutes. If no satellites
are found, check the antenna connections and the position of the
dish antenna.
The signal quality shown is not always representative of the signal

To repeat the search for satellites, select Restart and press OK. If
you are satisfied with the satellites found, you can install all their
channels.
