About Installing Satellites
Up to 4 Satellites
You can install up to 4 satellites (4 LNBs) on this TV.
Select the exact number of satellites you wish to install at
the start of the installation. This will speed up the
installation.
Unicable
You can use a Unicable system* to connect the antenna
dish to the TV. You can select Unicable for up to 4
satellites at the start of the installation.
* Note: supports Unicable 1 (EN50494) and Unicable 2
(EN50607/JESS).
Start the Installation
Make sure your satellite dish is connected correctly and is
perfectly aligned before you start the installation.
To start the satellite installation:
1 - Select  Settings > Channels &
Inputs > Channels > Satellite Installation and
press OK. Enter your PIN code if necessary.
2 - Select Search for Satellite and press OK.
3 - Select Search and press OK. TV will search for
satellites.
4 - Select Install and press OK. The TV shows the current
satellite installation setup.
If you want to change this setup, select Settings.
If you don't want to change the setup, select Search. Go
to step 5.
5 - In Installation System, select the number of satellites
you want to install or select one of the Unicable
systems. When you select Unicable, you can choose the
User Band Numbers and enter the User Band Frequencies
for each tuner. In some countries, you can adjust some
expert settings for each LNB in More Settings.
6 - The TV will search for the satellites available on the
alignment of your antenna dish. This may take a few
minutes. If a satellite is found, its name and reception
strength are shown on screen.
7 - When the TV found the satellites you need,
select Install.
8 - If a satellite offers Channel Packages, the TV will
show the available packages for that satellite. Select the
package you need. Some packages offer
a Quick or Full install for their available channels, select
one or the other. The TV will install the satellite channels
and radio stations.
9 - To store the satellite setup and installed channels and
radio stations, select Finish.
Satellite Installation Settings
The satellite installation settings are preset according to
your country. These settings determine how the TV
searches and installs satellites and its channels. You can
always change these settings.
To change the satellite installation settings:
1 - Start the satellite installation.
2 - On the screen where you can start searching for
satellites, select Configure and press OK.
3 - Select the number of satellites you want to install or
select one of the Unicable systems. When you select
Unicable, you can choose the User Band Numbers and
enter the User Band Frequencies for each tuner.
4 - When you're done, select Next and press OK.
5 - On the Settings menu, press the colour
key
Done to return to the screen to start searching for
satellites.
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
values 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 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.
