							4.3Satellite channels
Introduction
As  well as  the  DVB -T and  DVB -C  reception, this  TV  has  a  built -in
satellite DVB -S receiver.  With  a  satellite dish antenna  connected,
you  can  receive digital  satellite  channels.  You  do not  need an
external  satellite receiver.
LNB
An LNB  -Low Noise  Block -downconverter- captures the  signals
from a  satellite and  is mounted  at the  end of  the  pole on  the  dish
antenna.  The TV  can  receive signals  from 4 different  LNBs.
Installation
With a properly set- up and connected  satellite dish antenna, you  can
install  satellite channels on the  TV.
You can install  channels from 4  different satellites  (4 LNBs).
1 Install

Setup > Search  for  satellite and  press  OK.  If  you  have already
installed satellites,  select Reinstall channels and  press  OK.
2 Connection  type
Before  you  select Start,  you  must  set up the  connection  type. The
connection  type will  determine  the  number of  LNBs (the  number of
different  satellites)  you  can  install. For ease of  use, select the  correct
type for  the  number of  satellites  you  want  to  install.
To  set up the  connection  type, select Settings and  press  OK.  Select
