NTV failure plus how to set it up. Self-tuning of NTV Plus channels. Setting up the NTV-Plus antenna yourself NTV Plus failure how to set it up
It is difficult to find a house where there is not a single TV. But free channels are one thing, and quite another when it comes to paid satellite television. The number of paid NTV Plus channels depends on the package that the user paid for. But to get them, you need a little setup, which you can do yourself or by contacting the service for help.
Then you will have the opportunity to watch your favorite films, sports programs, domestic and foreign programs, and much more. In addition, finding out which settings are correct for NTV Plus is not at all difficult, since the official website has all the instructions, not only general ones, but also depending on specific receiver models.
Setting up satellite equipment
A lot depends on how the equipment is configured, including the quality of the signal. Therefore, you need to understand some of the features of installing equipment if the user decides to save money, and not order the services of a specialist who will install and configure everything himself. So, here are the instructions to follow:
- Since NTV satellites are located above the equator, in order to catch the signal you need to point the dish to the south side. To avoid guessing where it is, take a compass or use an online compass by downloading this application to your smartphone. But as for the tilt angle of the satellite dish, depending on the area and manufacturer it should be somewhere in the range of 17-38 degrees;
- Carefully inspect the area to determine if there are any obstacles. This is very simple to do - if the view in the right direction is good, then everything is fine, and if not, then you need to find another place with a better view;
- Try to fix the plate as tightly as possible so as not to disrupt the settings. Setting up channels every time quickly gets boring, so it’s better to use a reliable bracket and enjoy satellite TV from NTV with pleasure;
- And of course, for any TV channel to work normally, it is important to choose the right cable that will be resistant to weather conditions. It will be exposed to snow, rain and other precipitation, so the equipment must be reliable;
- The cable must be connected to the receiver, and the receiver to the TV;
- Even if you don’t know the exact settings, you can catch them yourself by turning the plate in the horizontal and vertical plane until an image appears on the TV screen. When there is a picture, you need to look at the signal reception level - it should be above 50%;
- Log in to the site and get access rights to various packages. The operator helps beginners fully enjoy the broadcast. The newly registered user has a small amount in his account that pays for broadcasting the standard package - all that remains is to configure the channels.
When the “Contract Registration” operation is completed, the access card will activate its work, and within 24 hours a person will be able to see what the provider has prepared for new users.
Setting up NTV Plus channels
At the moment, there are several ways to configure channels from the NTV Plus provider. There are two most popular options.
- Automatic setup that looks like this:
- Enter the menu using the remote control;
- Find the “Search for channels” subsection there;
- Click it and monitor the search status. When it ends, all channels will start showing.
- Setting up the TV manually has the following specifics:
- First you need to reset the settings. This is done in this way: “Settings” → “Default installation” → “Channels” → “Antenna” → “Satellite settings”;
- The set-top box will require you to enter a password. Feel free to enter four zeros, but only if this option has not been changed;
- After this, when manually searching for TV channels on NTV Plus, you need to uncheck the satellites that are allowed, selecting only the one with which NTV Plus works. In this case, it is EutelsatW4 36E. Sometimes it happens that the service in question is blocked by the tuner or TV itself, and to open access you just need to remove the access card and insert it back;
- Next, you need to configure the transponder. Here are the settings: 12130 R and Lnb levels (low = 0; high = 10750).
When the entire procedure is completed, you can move on to the final stage: Select the transponder and set the “Network Search” command. Afterwards you have to wait, because the setup takes quite a long time. But if all the changes were correct, then in half an hour all your paid TV channels will work.
Setting up NTV Plus Vostok channels
The NTV Plus television company is one of the most popular in Russia, but in the eastern part of the country there were interruptions in broadcasting, which were resolved with the help of a new package and the Express-AT1 satellite. The change took place in 2014, so in 2017 users have been able to enjoy excellent broadcasting of popular channels and more for several years.
If for some reason your equipment does not want to receive the signal coming from this satellite, you can manually search for TV channels after entering the settings. This is not so difficult, since reconfiguration can be done manually. Soon television will begin to operate in standard mode, delighting viewers with a full package of TV channels.
So, to gain access to the package, you need to check the satellite settings, and if they are not there, then first enter this satellite, and then fill in the broadcast parameters. The instructions on how to set up channels are simple:
- Open the receiver settings via the remote control and the “MENU” button;
- Turn on the search for NTV channels;
- Go to “Settings” - “Installation” - “Password” - “Search Mode” - “Enable”;
- Enter the transponder parameters: frequency – 12475; polarization – left; transmission speed – 27500; broadcasting – DVB-S2; modulation – 8PSK; FEC: 5/6;
- Check the “Level” and “Quality” of the signal. Click on “Search” again;
- Wait for the results and save them.
class="eliadunit">
First, reset the TV to factory settings. Menu > support > self-diagnosis > reset > ok. After the reboot, go to menu > channel > antenna > select the value “satellite”.
We uncheck all satellites that are installed by default (if this fails, you need to remove the CAM module from the slot and reset the TV again), scroll through and select the EutelsatW4 36E satellite, in the LNB settings select the transponder 12130 R, lower gen. LNB- 0, top - 10750.
Then go to “manual settings”, look for the transponder 12130 R, turn on “network search” and click “search”.
We wait until the search for NTV-Plus channels is completed and save the found channels.
Then you can sort the channels at your discretion (it is better and more convenient to do this using the Samsung Channel List Editor program)
If the satellite EutelsatW4 36E is not in the settings, do this:
Select " User sat 1".
We create our satellite (put a bird in front of it) and save it.
Go to the LNB settings, set everything as on the screenshot.
We don’t put anything in the “transponder” section; we will add them manually.
The “transponders” section will be empty, select “create”.
We need transponder frequencies, flow rates and polarization types for each channel package. I will list:
DVB-S2/8PSK
Attention!!!
- these frequencies have SR 27500 FEC 3/4
- Set the polarization type correctly ( L) or ( R)
Now let's create all these transponders (continue).
We enter the frequency (using numbers directly from the remote control), transmission speed (also from the remote control) and select the type of polarization (L or R). Click "save".
The network name “NTV-PLUS” appears, click “search” and “OK”.
The package of channels for this transponder is scanned and saved into the TV’s memory. Then everything is repeated for each subsequent transponder. There, in the “manual setup” menu, click “scan” in the “transponder” section, create the next one with your data, and so on. All previous loaded and scanned transponders with settings and channels are saved.
As a result, we get all (including radio) NTV-PLUS channels.
There are TV models that are equipped with a built-in receiver. Their advantages can hardly be overestimated. Firstly, there is no need to buy a receiver. Secondly, no need to use HDMI-HDMI cable. Thirdly, you can switch channels and use other functions using the television remote control.
The only caveat is for viewing satellite channels of paid operators communication, the digital tuner must support the DVB-S2 standard.
Of course, you can’t do without a correctly configured satellite dish.. Most TV models can easily scan TV channels in any mode. They can provide signal reception from 4 satellites. But even after correctly setting up the antenna, the familiar “Encoded channel” message will appear on the TV screen. In order to fully view TV channels of any company, you need a decoding device, that is, an access card.
How to set up a Samsung TV to receive satellite TV

If your antenna is correctly configured and connected, then the data of the entered transponders, as well as the channels found, will be saved on the TV.
1. How to manually tune a TV with a built-in satellite receiver to the NTV Plus or Tricolor TV satellite?
For the sample, we chose an LG TV produced in 2015 on the WEB OC operating system. Fundamentally, the manual tuning algorithm for other TV models is not much different.
So. The TV is connected to a configured and working satellite antenna, and is configured in TV reception mode - “Live TV”. On the screen we see accordingly:
On the remote control, press “Settings” or “Q.MENU”.
Select "Advanced settings" from the menu that appears
A menu of complete settings appears, where we select “Channels”, “Search for channels”.
After clicking on "Search for channels", select there "Manual Search" And "Satellite"(if there is no additional terrestrial antenna or cable TV is not connected).
The all-important search menu appears with setting parameters.
Let's say you need to find all the channels of the operator "NTV Plus" and only him!
We select the satellite "Eutelsat 36".
A very important parameter: “LNB frequency” (different TVs may have a slightly different name: “intermediate frequency”, “high and low frequencies separately”... It doesn’t matter.
Always and everywhere we put it there 10750
. Because other models may offer 10600, 9750, 5100..., but we set only 10750 everywhere.
Next, select the “Transponder” (or the frequency of one of the satellite transmitters). Since we need NTV Plus channels, we take any frequency from the section (if we need to tune to Tricolor TV, we take it from the section What are the frequencies and parameters of Tricolor TV channels?).
We have now selected a transponder with a frequency of 12130 MHz, right circular polarization.
Next, we monitor the signal level and quality scales. If everything is installed correctly, then they should be more than 70%.
Turn on the "Network Search" option! Then the TV will automatically, based on information from one transponder we installed, find all the others and only from the operator "NTV Plus" (and not another ~250 channels of unnecessary "garbage" from Tricolor TV and so on, which happens in automatic search mode).
Some TVs do not have a network search mode. Then you will have to manually scan each transponder from the list (referred to above) separately.
As a result, we see that the TV found all 17 transponders of the NTV Plus operator.
Click "Finish", exit the settings menu and watch the channels we need if you have a CI+ module with an activated access card.
P.S. If in the end you suddenly realize that it is difficult to edit channels, create and switch favorite lists, an inconvenient TV Guide, etc. (which is inherent to all primitive satellite receivers built into televisions) and this is so annoying that you are ready to use 2 remote controls (the first is for turning on/off the TV, the other for everything else), then we recommend purchasing for your access module any of the specialized satellite receivers in the line we offer . Which, by the way, are often purchased by owners of high-end TVs, which, of course, have a built-in satellite receiver and a slot for a CI+ access module.
2. A TV (receiver) with a CI+ CAM NTV Plus module displays on the encrypted channel “Incorrect equipment settings. Please contact your operator.” The service has been paid for. What to do?
It is necessary to reboot the CI+ CAM module ("factory reset")
Using the example of a Samsung TV.
Go to the TV menu
Select the "System" command
Select the "Settings" command
Select the "General Interface" command
Select the command "CI Menu"
By selecting the "Information" command, you can view information about subscriptions - have you run out of money in your account? Then perhaps the problem is not in the module, but in the payment.
But, initially, we assume that you are sure about the issue of payment for services. Therefore, click on “Settings”
Select the command "Factory settings"
A menu appears asking:
Click "OK" to confirm and wait for the module to reboot. After this, we leave the device turned on on the encrypted channel and wait for the picture to appear.
The picture will not appear immediately. The wait can be several hours.
All operations are carried out at your own risk. If you are not sure (and there is a possibility that you will drop something else, very important there), then it is better to contact our store for setup with the module and card.
3. What are the frequencies of Tricolor TV? What are the frequencies of NTV Plus? What open channels are there on the satellite from which Tricolor TV and NTV Plus broadcast? Information on channel parameters - how to manually configure channels. What other channels are there on the satellite?
“Tricolor TV” and “NTV Plus” are broadcast from Eutelsat 36A/36B satellites, “hovering” in geostationary orbit at an altitude of ~30,000 km strictly above the Equator at 36.0°E (east longitude). By taking a map, you can roughly determine the direction and azimuth from Kaliningrad towards this satellite position.
It is difficult to find a house where there is not a single TV. But free channels are one thing, and quite another when it comes to paid satellite television. The number of paid NTV Plus channels depends on the package that the user paid for. But to get them, you need a little setup, which you can do yourself or by contacting the service for help.
Then you will have the opportunity to watch your favorite films, sports programs, domestic and foreign programs, and much more. In addition, finding out which settings are correct for NTV Plus is not at all difficult, since the official website has all the instructions, not only general ones, but also depending on specific receiver models.

- Enter the transponder parameters: frequency – 12475; polarization – left; transmission speed – 27500; broadcasting – DVB-S2; modulation – 8PSK; FEC: 5/6;
- Check the “Level” and “Quality” of the signal. Click on “Search” again;
- Wait for the results and save them.
Setting up LG and Samsung TV
The user will find the instructions for setting up Samsung and LG TV useful, because these devices have a CAM module, so their work with NTV satellite equipment is slightly different from the standard. However, we will provide simple instructions on how to deal with the problem and set up your equipment correctly.
You can install NTV Plus channels for Samsung like this:
- Enter the menu and go to the “Broadcast” item;
- Select the antenna “EutelsatW4 36E” and save the data;
- Enter “LNB Settings” and select the transponder, turning on the DiSEqC mode - off. The lower LNB should be 9750. The upper LNB should be 10750. And the Tone switch should be 22KHZ;
- Go to manual search to enter channel settings;
- Take the EutelsatW4 36E satellite and select the 11900(V/R) 27500 transponder, specifying “Manual Search” or “Network Search”.
The setup for LG looks similar, so you can figure it out easily.
Everyone chooses their own method of receiving channels in digital quality, this is what I proceeded from when choosing:.
Terrestrial digital television did not suit me, due to the small number of channels.
Cable television - everything is more complicated here, the operator that provides television via coaxial cable without using coding (no set-top boxes are needed) does not serve my home, and the operators that provide television through the set-top box did not suit me either, since I have to pay a subscription fee for connecting one TV 300 rubles or more, in my opinion, is expensive. Based on this, I chose satellite television. The disadvantage of this method is that to use it you must initially have an amount of about 10 thousand rubles. for the purchase of equipment. But you can always save money, for example, I had an old NTV+ receiver, and at a promotion I exchanged it with an additional payment for more detailed satellite television technology.
The television signal is broadcast from a geostationary satellite hovering above the Earth. If you go a little deeper, the satellite rotates in the plane of the earth's equator at an altitude of approximately 35,000 km above the earth's surface. The period of revolution in this orbit is one day. That is, a satellite moving in a geostationary orbit does not change its position relative to the Earth’s surface (it constantly “hangs” above the same point of the equator).
Using a satellite dish, we focus the signal from the satellite to the point where the converter is located.
A converter is a receiving device that is mounted at the focus of a signal reflected from a satellite dish and converts this signal into an electrical signal, after which it transmits it to the receiver.
A receiver is a device that converts the signal coming from the converter into a “understandable” signal for the TV. The receiver connects to the TV using an HDMI, SCART, “tulip”, etc. interface. depends on the model of the receiver and the connectors on the TV.
The general diagram is presented below.
Installation of NTV+ dish
So, let's move from theory to practice. Below I will describe how I installed and configured NTV+ (for those who set up Tricolor, the connection diagram will be similar).
I climbed onto the roof of my house and saw the following picture - two satellite dishes hanging, there was a place left just for mine.
If you pay attention, one dish is used for Tricolor (judging by the inscription on the plate, although this may not be the case), this is good, since Tricolor and NTV+ broadcast from the same satellite, which means they are directed to the same point in the sky, adjust the direction accordingly antennas will be easier, since the sample will be nearby. When installing a satellite dish, you can also look around, since most people use either Tricolor or NTV+, accordingly you will understand in which direction you need to turn the antenna. If there are no dishes nearby, turn the dish to the south (since the satellite “hangs” on the equator), it should be taken into account that there should not be any trees or buildings on the path between the satellite and the direction of the dish, since they will not allow the signal to reach the dish.
The first step is to fasten the antenna bracket using anchor bolts (usually they come with the antenna). To do this, attach the bracket to the wall, mark the places where you need to drill holes, and use a drill to make holes with a depth and a radius the size of an anchor bolt. Then insert the bolts there.
Then attach the bracket to the wall and screw it.
As a result of all actions, check that the bracket is firmly secured and does not wobble.
After this, assemble the plate and attach it to the bracket.
Next, you need to run a coaxial cable from the receiver (where the TV will be) to the satellite dish converter. If the cable exceeds 10 meters, you can buy a high-quality 75 Ohm coaxial cable of the required length.
After that, use an HDMI, SCART or tulip cable to connect the receiver to the TV. Then turn on the receiver, select AV mode (corresponding interface) on the TV. You will see the receiver menu, select the satellite in the settings (let me remind you, for NTV+ and Tricolor it will be the same satellite), for the European zone it will be EUTELSAT W4/ W7 or EUTELSAT 36A/ 36B (they have been renamed).
The next step is to set the dish strictly to the satellite. In order not to use additional devices to help set up channels, which cost a lot of money (and there’s no need if you want to set up one satellite dish for yourself), you will need an assistant who will monitor the signal level, while you turn plate. You can use a cell phone for communication.
You should rotate the plate millimeter by millimeter in order to catch a good signal. The antenna rotates not only horizontally, but also vertically, do not forget about this.
In the end, I set up an NTV+ dish (I decided prematurely).
I managed to achieve a signal of more than 70 percent; it was cloudy, so perhaps the result was no better. Coming down after setting up the antenna, I quickly tuned in the channels using auto search and was quite pleased. BUT, when I turned on the HD channel, an information sign “No signal” appeared in front of me.
How so?! All channels work normally, but all HDs write “No signal”.
A call to technical support did not bring any results. I decided to spin the plate some more to achieve at least some signal level (as you can see in the picture below, the signal level of HD channels is 0%). To do this, in the menu I selected List TP - 11823/27500/V (it is responsible for some of the HD channels).
I climbed onto the roof and again began to slowly turn the antenna; my assistant remained near the TV and told me the signal level. After literally 10-15 minutes I managed to set up the HD channels; they showed a signal level of about 73%. Having gone down, I could already see the channels in HD quality, the other channels were also excellent.
The bottom line of this whole story is, do not believe people who say that only specialists with special equipment can install and configure satellite television. Almost anyone can do this!!!
An excellent choice for sports and movie fans. But the operation of television without failures and interference can be ensured with proper assembly, installation and configuration of the dish. First, make sure that the requirements necessary for the correct operation of the system are met:
- Visibility to the south from a window, balcony or roof.
- Open horizon without interference at window level (trees, high-rise buildings).
NTV Plus channels are broadcast from the Eutelsat W4/Express AMU 1 satellite, located at 36 degrees east longitude. The satellite covers the main part of the territory of the Russian Federation. To receive channels you will need the following equipment:
- Antenna diameter 55-90cm.
- Circular polarization converter.
- or CAM module.
- Coaxial cable.
- Connectors.
The minimum size of the plate for reception is 55-60cm. By increasing the size to 80-90 cm, we will get a stable and stable signal that will not be affected by weather conditions in the form of rain, snowfall, or cloudiness. The NTV+ system uses circular polarization converters. There should be a circular or “Circular” mark on the body of the irradiator. The number of outputs in the irradiator corresponds to the number of connected receivers.
Let's proceed to the procedure for installing and configuring NTV Plus channels, which consists of the following steps:
Stage 1: Checking the signal
You can set up an NTV Plus satellite dish only if there is a signal. You can navigate by the sun: around 13:00 its direction corresponds to the position of the satellite, by the dishes on neighboring houses. There are also maps on the Internet, like DISHPOINTER, which will help you check the possibility of satellite reception. Working with it is quite simple: we enter the exact address of the house, select the name of the Eutelsat W4/Express AMU1 satellite. A colored beam will show the direction. If the beam is red, that is, reception from the window is not possible, then the system is installed on the roof. Connection will cost more, since cable costs will increase, but the result obtained is worth the effort.
Only a specialist visit and measuring the signal using a spectrum analyzer will give an accurate guarantee of the availability of satellite reception! The cost of these works is 1000 ₽.
How does a satellite TV set work? The antenna plays the role of a lens that receives the signal and transmits it to the converter. The converter amplifies reception and transmits the signal to the set-top box.
Stage 2. Installation of equipment
We assemble the satellite dish according to the instructions. A drill with a hammer drill for drilling brick and concrete surfaces will make the process easier. The bracket can be secured using anchors with a diameter of 8mm or 10mm or a 14mm dowel with a capercaillie. All connections are made using coaxial cable and F connectors. The cable is stripped (see photo) and the connector is put on it. Connectors come in screw-on and crimp-on types. The most common ones are for cheating. Crimp connectors are more reliable and have a longer service life, but their installation will require crimping pliers.
After assembling the dish, we set it according to the elevation and azimuth of your region. For Moscow, the elevation angle is 27 degrees, the azimuth is 181 degrees (see photos for other large cities).

Stage 3. Setting up a satellite dish
We carry out the work using an attachment. In the second case, it is recommended to configure the set-top box in advance, for example, when purchasing a set in a store, or from friends where NTV Plus already works. You can configure programs in manual or automatic search. In the set-top box recommended by the operator, all the settings are already included in the menu, you only need to select the automatic mode, the receiver will do everything on its own. In manual search, enter the parameters:
- Eultesat W4/Express AMU1 satellite.
- Converter settings: upper/lower local oscillator frequency 10750 MHz.
- To search we use a transponder: 11785 R, flow rate 27500, error correction 3/4.
- 22KHz must be enabled to supply power to the converter.
- We activate the network search function to search the entire list of channels.
The channels are configured, go to the "Search for channels" menu. Two scales will appear on the screen: reception level and quality. For the satellite to operate, it will be necessary to fill two scales by at least 70%. We carry out the operation of setting up the antenna in clear, calm weather, if possible at noon, when the sun can be used as an additional reference point.
Procedure for tuning NTV Plus to satellite
- We direct the dish to the satellite’s receiving sector (we navigate by the sun and neighbors’ antennas).
- We set the antenna vertically (for Moscow/Moscow region), up to the maximum.
- We begin to slowly rotate the antenna by 1-2mm, wait a couple of seconds, look at the signal scales on the screen; repeat the procedure until the scales begin to fill.
- When the scales begin to fill, we proceed to the fine-tuning procedure until we achieve 70% filling.
- Fix firmly and tighten the bolts.
- We carry out all the work slowly, since the receiver reacts late, and you may miss the moment.
Call a specialist
When the system cannot be debugged or problems arise with the operation of the satellite, the repair and configuration service will restore channel viewing.
The services of a specialist will be needed if:
- The message “no signal” appeared on the screen.
- Distortion of sound and picture.
- Failed to configure the system yourself.
- The signal is unstable: it is, then it is not.
- Cloudiness, rain, and snowfall degrade reception.
The cost of setting up an NTV antenna plus 2500 ₽ without additional extra charges and surcharges for work! Contact the installation team +79629633108.
During repair work, the following consumables may be required:
- Converter with 1 output - 490 ₽.

Setting up NTV PLUS begins with installation and installation of equipment. If they are carried out independently, it is important to follow the following rules:
- NTV satellites + Eutelsat 36B/36С, Eutelsat 36A are located above the equator, so the dish should be directed to the south. The exact direction can be determined using a compass. The satellite's direction angle is approximately 17 - 38 degrees. It depends on the manufacturer of the dish; satellite television operator NTV has several of them.
- In order for the satellite dish to receive an excellent signal, during installation it is important to take into account the overview of the territory; interference in the form of vegetation and tall buildings is not allowed. Failure to comply with these requirements may result in problems with signal transmission.
- The bracket is attached firmly and reliably, otherwise over time the dish will get knocked down, the direction of the direction will change, all this will affect the quality of the signal.
- It is not recommended to skimp on cable; it must be resistant to different weather conditions.
The next stage is setting up the NTV satellite dish.
- , myself . To avoid malfunctions or equipment breakdown, you must follow all recommendations specified in the manufacturer's instructions.
- Slowly and carefully rotate the satellite dish mirror in the horizontal/vertical plane towards the location of the satellite. Goal: to get the image to appear on the TV.
- After the picture appears, you need to activate the “RECEIVED SIGNAL LEVEL” command on the receiver. For a good television picture, the scale should be as high as possible.
Online registration of access card and CL module
To register this equipment, authorization is required on the operator’s official website.
If the data is filled out correctly, you will receive an email confirming your profile activation. After which the subscriber will have access to the “Registration of Agreement” operation on the website. After concluding the agreement, the card will be activated automatically within 24 hours.
How to configure the receiver to broadcast NTV channels
Without this device, watching satellite television is impossible. The NTV PLUS television company offers various models of TV set-top boxes, so the equipment settings may vary.

The VA1020 set-top box is the most modern development, it went on sale in the fall of 2016. New subscribers of the company have the opportunity to purchase at a discount. The promotion is valid until the end of January 2017.
Setting up channels
There are two options for tuning channels: automatic method and manual tuning. In the first method, you need to select the “SEARCH FOR CHANNELS” item in the setup menu; if the equipment is configured correctly, all channels will soon appear.
Manual search is a more complex process:
- Resetting the specified settings - go to the menu, select the section “SETUP” → “DEFAULT INSTALLATION” → “CHANNELS” → “ANTENNA” → “SATELLITE SETUP”.
- When prompted for a TV set-top box password, enter a number consisting of four zeros. If the password has been changed, you must enter the changed version.
- In the tab that appears, uncheck the boxes next to the satellites allowed by default and leave EutelsatW4 36E. If this procedure is blocked, you need to remove the access card from the tuner.
- Then it is important to configure the transponder.
- Settings: 12130 R and Lnb levels (low = 0; high = 10750).
- The final stage. After entering all the data in the “MANUAL SETUP” section, select the previously recommended transponder and set the “NETWORK SEARCH” command. The operation can take quite a long time; upon completion, all available channels will appear. The quantity depends on the package selected by the user.
