Satellite CAMs If you use a CAM – a Conditional Access Module with a smart card – to watch satellite channels, we recommend to do the satellite installation with the CAM inserted in the TV. Most CAMs are used to descramble channels. Newest generation CAMs (CI+ 1.3 with Operator Profile), can install all the satellite channels by themselves on your TV. The CAM will invite you to install its satellite(s) and channels. These CAMs not only install and descramble the channels but also handle regular channel updates. Channel Packages Satellite operators 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. Unicable Setup The Unicable System You can use a Single Cable system, MDU or Unicable system to connect the antenna dish to the TV. A Single Cable system uses one cable to connect the satellite dish to all satellite tuners in its system. A Single Cable system is typically used in apartment buildings. If you use a Unicable system, the TV will ask you to assign a user band number and corresponding frequency during the installation. You can install 1 or 2 satellites with Unicable on this TV. If you notice some missing channels after a Unicable installation, another installation might have been done at the same moment on the Unicable system. Do the installation again to install the missing channels. User Band Number In a Unicable system, each connected satellite tuner 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 each built-in satellite tuners. A satellite tuner cannot have the same user band number as another satellite tuner 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 remain untouched. 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. Setup 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. To add a satellite… 1 - Press , select All Settings and press OK . 2 - Select Channels > Satellite Installation and press OK . 3 - Select Search for satellite and press OK . 4 - Select Add Satellite and press OK . The current satellites are shown. 5 - Select Search and press OK . The TV will search for new satellites. 6 - If the TV has found one or more satellites, select Install and press OK .

LNB Power By default, LNB Power is set to On. 22 kHz Tone By default, the Tone is set to Auto. Low LO Frequency / High LO Frequency The local oscillator frequencies are set to standard values. Adjust the values only in case of exceptional equipment that needs different values. Problems The TV cannot find the satellites I want or the TV installs the same satellite twice • Make sure that the correct number of satellites is set in Settings at the start of the installation. You can set the TV to search for One, Two or 3/4 satellites. A dual head LNB cannot find a second satellite • If the TV finds one satellite but cannot find a second one, turn the dish a few degrees. Align the dish to get the strongest signal on the first satellite. Check the signal strength indicator of the first satellite on screen. With the first satellite set at the strongest signal, select Search again to find the second satellite. • Make sure the settings are set to Two Satellites. Changing the installation settings did not solve my problem • All settings, satellites and channels are only stored at the end of the installation when you finish. All satellite channels are gone • If you use a Unicable system, make sure you assigned two unique user band numbers for both built-in tuners in the Unicable settings. It might be that another satellite receiver in your Unicable system is using the same user band number. Some satellite channels seem to have disappeared from the channel list • If some channels seem to be gone or displaced, the broadcaster might have changed the transponder location of these channels. To restore the channel positions in the channel list, you can try an update of 77
the channel package. I cannot remove a satellite • Subscription packages do not allow removing a satellite. To remove the satellite, you have to do a complete installation again and select another package. Sometimes the reception is poor • Check if the satellite dish is solidly mounted. Strong winds can move the dish. • Snow and rain can degrade the reception. 24.3 Channel List Copy Introduction Channel List Copy is intended for dealers and expert users.
