2-1. Service Searching
[ : Press MENU > Setup > Service Searching]
Here you set up the tuners of your Vu+ and run channel scanning automatically or manually.
  1. Tuner Configuration
    [ : MENU > Setup > Service Searching > Tuner Configuration]
    If you run the First Time Installation process, the Tuner A is already configured. You can check the
    information of Tuner A and which satellites are scanned, as follows.





  2. Loading Default Service Lists
    [ : MENU > Setup > Service Searching > Default Service List]
    In case there are service lists available for certain satellites, for example, Astra or Hotbird, you can
    install the lists in the channel list of your Vu+.





    If default service lists are not available, you can run the service scan automatically or manually to add TV
    and radio channels into the channel list of your Vu+.


  3. Automatic Scan of Services
    [ : MENU > Setup > Service Searching > Automatic Scan]
    The easiest way to scan services is to use Automatic Scan. In the Automatic Scan menu, there are two
    options to choose from as below.





    - Clear Before Scan
    YES is used when you want to delete the existing channel list before you start the automatic scan.
    If you want to keep the existing list, select NO Press OK to activate the automatic scan.
    This will take some minutes. As the scan proceeds, you will see the progressive bar and the newly found
    services underneath.






  4. Manual Scan of Services
    [ : MENU > Setup > Service Searching > Manual Scan]
    If you know well enough to configure each exact setting required for manual search of services, you can
    do manual scan as well. There are many parameter values that you need to decide as below.





    Amongst other things, the below parameters are what you need to decide prior to manual scan.

    1. Tuner
      You need to decide which tuner you want to use for manual scan.

    2. System
      Here you have two options between DVB-S (SD) and DVB-S2 (HD), if DVB-S2 tuner is mounted.

    3. Frequency
      You need to enter the exact frequency of the transponder that you want to scan.

    4. Symbol Rate
      You need to enter the exact symbol rate of the transponder that you want to scan

    5. Polarity
      Here, you have options for Horizontal, Vertical, Circular Left and Circular Right. You need to know the
      polarity of the transponder that you want to scan.

    6. FEC (Forward Error Correction)
      You need to enter the exact FEC value of the transponder that you want to scan

    7. Modulation
      Here you have two options for QPSK (SD) and 8PSK (HD).

    8. Network Scan
      Here you have two options for YES and NO. NO is used to scan the transponder (TP) based on the
      data that your Vu+ currently has. YES is used to scan the TP not just based on the existing TP data
      but also using new TP data, if there is TP data newly transported from the TP. Naturally, YES option
      takes longer while it may results in a better scan result.

    9. Clear Before Scan
      YES is used when you want to delete the existing channel list before you start the automatic scan. If
      you want to keep the existing list, select NO.

    10. Only Free Scan
      Here you have two options for YES and NO. If you want to scan only Free To Air channels without any
      encryption, select YES. Otherwise, select NO to scan all FTA and CAS channels.


    Press OK to activate the manual scan. This will take some minutes. As the scan proceeds, you will see
    the progressive bar and the newly found services underneath.
