User band number
In a Unicable system, each connected satellite receiver must be
numbered (e.g. 0, 1, 2 or 3 etc.).
You can find the available user bands and their number on the
Unicable switchbox. User band is sometimes shortened as UB.
There are Unicable switchboxes that offer 4 or 8 user bands. If
you select Unicable in the settings, the TV will ask you to assign
the unique user band number for its built-in satellite receiver. A
satellite receiver cannot have the same user band number as
another satellite receiver in the Unicable system.
User band frequency
Next to the unique user band number, the built-in satellite
receiver needs the frequency of the selected user band number.
These frequencies are mostly shown next to the user band
number on a Unicable switchbox.
Add a satellite
You can add an additional satellite to your current satellite
installation. The installed satellites and their channels stay
untouched. However, some satellite operators do not allow
adding a satellite.
The additional satellite should be seen as an extra, it is not your
main satellite subscription or not the main satellite of which you
use its channel package. Typically, you would add a 4th satellite
when you have 3 satellites already installed. If you have 4
satellites installed, you might consider removing one first to be
able to add a new satellite.
Settings
If you currently have only 1 or 2 satellites installed, the current
installation settings might not allow adding an extra satellite. If
you need to change the installation settings, you must redo the
complete satellite installation. You cannot use Add satellite if a
change of settings is needed.

Update satellite channels
Once a day, at 6 AM, the TV automatically updates the satellite
channels. A channel update looks for new channels and adds
them to the channel list. No longer available channels are
removed and if a provider reorders its channel package, the
channel list of the TV will be updated. The TV must be on
standby to automatically update the satellite channels.
Alternatively, you can do a channel update yourself at any
moment.
New channels, found with the channel update, are marked with
the letter N and collected in the channel list New. New
channels are also added in the All channel list. New channels
stay in the channel list New as long as you do not tune to them
or mark them as a favourite.
