Howto add/scan channels into my DM box
A very powerful screen and one you may use often
Click here for the E1 Generic MenusTip: only the satellites you have added under the Tuner configuration menu will be available to scan.
The Manual Scan option offers a number of powerful options depending on the type of E2 box you own.
Here you can
- Scan a single transponder (S-C-T)
- Scan a single Satellite (S-C-T) you have defined in the in the Tuner set up
- Scan many or multiple satellites (S-C-T)you have defined in the in the Tuner set up
Now lets look at these options one by one
A Single satellite scan
This is a great option for tuning / scanning a single satellite you might have just added to your
system. It will scan the satellite and automatically add the channels it finds to your DM box

Type of scan: -as shown above- simply press your right/left arrows to change
Satellite: What you have defined in the in the Tuner set up - simply press your right/left arrows to change

Now press the OK button to start the scan. Now go make a coffee as this can in some cases take a long time to complete.
Warning: pressing the exit key will exit the scan and save nothing!
