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 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 up to
4 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.
* Note: supports Unicable 1 (EN50494) and Unicable 2
(EN50607/JESS).
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.
Manual Channel Update
You can always start a channel update yourself.
To start a channel update manually:
1 - Select Settings > Channels & Inputs >
Channels > Satellite Installation and press OK.
2 - Select Search for Channels and press OK.
3 - Select Update Channels and press OK. The TV
will start updating. The update may take a few
minutes.
4 - Follow the instructions on screen. The update
may take a few minutes.
5 - Select Finish and press OK.
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.
To install a transponder:
1 - Select Settings > Channels & Inputs >
Channels > Satellite Installation and press OK.
2 - Select Manual Installation and press (right)
to enter the menu.
3 - If you have more than 1 satellite installed,
select LNB for which you want to add channels.
4 - Set the Polarisation you need. If you set
the Symbol Rate Mode to Manual, you can enter
the symbol rate in Symbol Rate manually.
5 - Press the Arrow / navigation keys to adjust the
frequency, and select Done.
6 - Select Search and press OK. The signal
strength is shown on screen.
7 - If you want to store the channels of a new
transponder, select Store and press OK.
8 - Press (left) repeatedly if necessary, to close
the menu.
