7.8 Setting up new satellites
The pre-programmed set of channels consists of 300 television and 200 radio channels broadcast by the 18 most
popular satellites. Those can be set up very easily using the installation menu (see 5.4). However, the pre-pro-
grammation also covers another 26 satellite names without channel assignations. Moreover, you can set up other
satellites which are not covered in the preprogrammation. This assumes that you know the broadcasting data of at
least one of the satellite’s channels and its position. Since all channel positions are already covered by satellites you
may need to overwrite the channels.
General procedure:
> peak a pre-programmed satellite whose position is close to the new one.
> select unwanted channels on the peaked satellite.
> open the menu „new channels and satellites“ to select a new satellite name.
> change the channel settings.
> scan the satellite.
> store its position.
> set up further channels by copying them,as desired.
Example: This assumes that Eutelsat II F3 at 16° East has already been selected.The new satellite to set up
is Astra at 19.2° East.
Warning: In all the menus described below, press the key to turn off the coloured screen background
which is used to check the settings.

The receiver selects Eutelsat II F3 at 16° East,displaying channel „********“.
