Howto add channels to my DM box by auto scanning a satellite
Service Searching
E1 Enigma 1 or E1 menus. Click here for the E2 MenusThis scanning function will automatically scan the satellite you select and add any new found TV, Radio and data channels to your DM box. These newly found channels then form part of your channel lists and can be added to your bouquets at any time.
First of all make sure you have signal on the satellite you are about to scan. You can use the Satfind or Rotor setup to ensure you have signal (no point in scanning something you have no signal on right?) Once you know you have a signal, select the satellite to scan from the drop down list. Tip: only the channels you have added under the Satellite configuration menu will be available to scan.
Now you have a lock on a transponder you can now select what to scan. Do you just want the free to view or free to air channels? Do you want to scan everything on the satellite? Make you selection and then press the GREEN on your remote control to start the scan process.
The scanning process can take as little as minute to several minutes depending on how much it has to scan.
Now press the EXIT button to finish and then select if you want to do another scan or finish scanning.
