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 Quick to install the
channels of the package only or select Full 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 package
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 :

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 and press h, select
S Setup 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 on their former position in the satellite channel
list.
