- Channels
We will now scan for SD and HD channels separately. First we will scan for the DVB-S (SD) channels. To do this, enter the details for one transport and it will find the rest. Hit "Scan for channels" and enter the following details:
Freq: 10714000 Polarity: Horizontal Symbol rate: 22000000 Mod Sys: DVB-S FEC: 5/6 Modulation: QPSK Inversion: leave at auto Rolloff: leave at 0.35
The channel scan will take a few minutes to complete. Check the /var/log/kern.log file if you have problems. Now we will scan for the DVB-S2 (HD) channels using the following details:
Freq: 10847000 Polarity: Vertical Symbol rate: 23000000 Mod Sys: DVB-S2 FEC: 8/9 Modulation: QPSK Inversion: leave at auto Rolloff: leave at 0.35
Hopefully it will find BBC HD, BBC ONE HD, etc.
