Manual installation
Manual installation is intended for expert users.
You can use Manual installation to quickly add new channels
from a satellite transponder. You need to know the frequency
and polarization of the transponder. The TV will install all
channels of that transponder. If the transponder was installed
before, all its channels - the former and the new ones - are
moved to the end of the channel list All.
You cannot use Manual installation if you need to change the
number of satellites. If this is needed, you have to do a
complete installation with Install satellites.

mode to Manual, you can enter the symbol rate in Symbol
rate manually. Enter the Frequency and start searching for the
transponder.
7 - If a transponder is found, select Store and press OK to
store the new transponder on the selected LNB.
8 - Select Exit to leave the manual installation.
Troubleshooting
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 a
unique user band number to the satellite receiver in the
Unicable settings. It might be that another satellite receiver is
using the same user band number.
Some satellite channels seem to have disappeared from the
channel list.
