The search in DVB-S, DVB-S2, DVB-T and DVB-C devices can be done in two different ways: manual (
) or automatic
(
). For DVB-T devices, the available transponders depend on the zone where we are; for DVB-C devices the available
services depend on the cable operator, and for DVB-S devices depend on the satellite where the antenna is oriented. The
data of all available transponders for every satellite are updated in the web page www.lyngsat.com. We are interested in
the satellites that broadcast DVB services. Obviously, we can only tune the transponders associated to the satellite that
our antenna is pointing to.
Whatever search in a transcoder or frequency different to the currently tuned, will cause a deletion of the configured
services, in case they were. The application will warn and invite us to save this configuration before being deleted.
2.4.2.1. Manual search in DVB-S, DVB-S2, DVB-T and DVB-C devices
The manual search allows the search of services included in a given transponder or channel. In order to search we have to
execute the menu option “Search/Manual Search”, having selected the “Database” tab. It comes up one of the following
windows depending on the device type is being used:
DVB-S / DVB-S2 DVB-T
DVB-C
Through these windows, we introduce the parameters related to the tune/demodulating of the desired transponder:
- DVB-S / DVB-S2: frequency, symbol rate, polarization and FEC.
- DVB-T: frequency or channel, bandwidth, hierarchy and zone.
- DVB-C: frequency, symbol rate and constellation.
The rest of parameters, satellite for DVB-S / DVB-S2, subzone for DVB-T and cable operator for DVB-C, are simply used
to classify and store properly the search results (services/frequencies). We can add, modify or delete these elements
using the corresponding “Services” menu option.
Once the search parameters are introduced and we click the “Scan” button, the application starts to search for the
available services in the selected frequency.
If we want to search for a given service, we also have to introduce its name in the “Filter by Channel Name” box.
