3.3 Scanning for Satellite TV
Channels
Open the Apps screen and select
12
Settings > Service Search.
Three methods are available to scan for
satellite TV channels.
• Scanning all available transponders for
every channel
• Scanning for multiple channels that a
specific transponder carries.
• Scanning for a specific one of multiple
channels that a specific transponder
carries.
Some option items are used in common
in more than one scanning method, as
follows:
• Satellite: Choose a target satellite from
the list of satellites.
• Search Type: Determine which types of
channels to scan for.
• All Service: Scan for all available TV and
radio channels.
• FTA Only: Scan only for free TV and radio
channels.
• TV Only: Scan only for free and pay TV
channels.
• Network Search: A transponder usually has
information about other transponders
provided by the same satellite TV
service provider. It is better to turn on
this option so that the receiver uses
broadcast network information for
faster and more precise scanning.
When any dish settings need to be
reconfigured, select Dish Setting or
Positioner Setting to jump to the relevant
menu. To return to this menu, select
Service Search.
Particular LNBs have an indicator light
to show if the signal strength is good
enough for the receiver to perform
a channel scan. This may be useful
when installing a new satellite dish. To
activate this function, press the green
button and then confirm to use it.
Scanning for Every Channel
Three methods are available for
scanning for every channel.
• Set Search Mode to Auto. With this method,
the receiver uses its numerous database
of transponders when scanning for
channels. Choose Time Calibration and
determine how long the receiver should
