7.1 Troubleshooting 81
To tune manually, you need to know which transmitter your
aerial is pointing at, and the UHF channel numbers (which are
always in the range 21-69) that are used for digital television;
there will normally be six numbers, though in some regions
there may be fewer.
Press Menu, then from the main menu select Installation, Ser-
vice Search. Set the search mode to Manual, and set the chan-
nel number to the first of the group of UHF channel numbers
appropriate to your local TV transmitter, then move to Start
Search and press OK.
The PVR will store all the digital television channels broad-
cast on the channel you selected. Now, repeat the process for
each of the other UHF channel numbers, and your PVR should
store one copy of each channel, on the correct number.
7.1.5 Unable to view Pay TV channels
To view Pay TV channels, you must have a CAM inserted in
one of the slots on the front of the PVR, with a valid subscrip-
tion card in it.
If you are unable to view any channels at all, check that the
card has been inserted the correct way up; ensure that the con-
tacts on it are clean.
You can view the status of the CAM —which is used to decode
Pay TV channels—by pressing Menu then selecting Common
Interface. If the CAM has been inserted correctly, it will be
shown in one of the slots; if no CAMs show on the screen,
check it is inserted fully.
If the CAM is shown on the screen, select it, and then press
OK on the remote control. On the next screen, the Smart card
information option will tell you the subscription date that is
stored on your card. If there is no date, or the date has passed,
then you will need to contact your PayTV service and ask
them to send you an activation signal.
