7.2.1 Adding a new channel

Some recordings made from PayTV channels may not be
playable without a subscription, or after some time has elapsed.
Section 4, Extra features, Copying recordings contains informa-
tion about how you may be able to avoid this problem.
Although the rest of the manual has covered most of the com-
mon day to day functions you'll need, there are a few other
things that it may be helpful to know to make the most of your
PVR in certain circumstances.
From time to time, new channels are added to the digital televi-
sion service, and some existing ones removed. You can remove
a channel simply by pressing the OK button to display the
channel list, then moving to the channel with the arrow but-
tons, and pressing Red. Select delete from the options menu to
delete the channel.
The quickest way to add a channel is to do a manual search for
it; it helps to know which group of channels (or 'multiplex')
it's being added to, as this will help you find out the correct
options for a manual search.
When you press the OK button on the remote control and then
move up and down the channel list, you'll see that the 'UHF
channel' for each TV station is shown at the bottom of the list;
there will be around half a dozen of these numbers, and all the
channels on the same multiplex have the same one.
So, if you know that a new channel is being added to the same
group as BBC Four, highlight BBC 4 in the list and make a note
of the UHF channel number, then press Exit to hide the list.
Next, press Menu, select Installation then Service Search.
Set the search type to Manual, and choose the channel number
you noted from the previous paragraph, then select Start Search
