8.4.4 Manual scan

If the automatic scan or the transponder scan is unable to locate a

particular programme, it may be necessary to additionally enter pro-

gramme-specific PID numbers for this programme. These numbers

may be found in the Internet, or may have to be obtained from the

relevant programme provider.

The menu (Fig. 8-18) differs from the menu Transponder scan

only in the menu items PCR PID, Audio PID and Video PID.

There is no need to enter the scan mode.

Proceed as described for a transponder scan.

In addition, use the arrow keys up/down to mark the

lines PCR PID, Audio PID and Video PID,and enter the

appropriate numbers using the numeric keys.

8.4.5 After the scan

While the scan is still in progress, you can follow the transponder

scan on your screen. When the scan is completed, the number of

transponders found, the number of programmes and of new pro-

grammes found will be displayed. In addition a prompt will be

displayed, (Fig. 8-19), asking whether you wish to accept the pro-

grammes found automatically into the TV or Radio list. If you decide

to accept the programmes automatically, you can also still decide

whether these should be added to the Favourites list in sorted or

unsorted order.
