Agile OOB Tuner Hunting

An OOB frequency can be selected manually by pressing the Menu button while in the
OOB Status diagnostics screen. To exit this mode, press the Menu button a second
time, or press the Power button.
If the set-top is in the process of hunting for an OOB frequency, control of frequency
selection is suspended, i.e. it is not possible to press the Menu button on the OOB
status screen and display MAN FREQ when the set-top is hunting.
Summary of Manual Selection of the OOB Frequency
The manual override frequency capability is only displayed if the box is not currently
hunting and the operator presses the MENU key while OOB OSD diagnostics are
displayed. The MAN Freq displays the LKC and allows the operator to select (via scroll
up/down) a specific frequency to check if a valid OOB is on that specific frequency. The
MAN Freq parameter is the OOB frequency selected in the frequency selection mode
and displayed in MHz, with the specific values of 75.25, 104.20, 72.75, 92.25, 98.25,
107.25, 107.40, 110.25, 116.25, and 103.75.

display FIX to indicate a search on a fixed frequency, and the OOB FREQ field will
