22Channels menu – channel managementDigital television technology makes a large numberof channels available. A reception unit suitable for theASTRA 19° East und EUTELSAT/HOTBIRD 13° Eastsatellites allows you to receive over 800 FTA TV and radioprogrammes.To allow you to manage and control this range of channels,the memory for the lists is divided into two sections:- one channel pool for radio and TV respectively, each with2000 programme memory positions- 8 assigned favourites lists for radio and for TV respectively,each with 1000 programme memory positionsUse the # button (blue) to switch between TV and radio.New channels found during a search are stored in both thechannel pool and in the currently selected favourites list, atthe end of the memory area for the selected satellite.This area is set with empty channels, known as placeholderchannels, at the factory.Pxxx ~ ~~~~~~~ Placeholder for Astra 19° satellitePyyy ~~ ~~~~~~ Placeholder for Eutelsat 13° satelliteWhen the channel pool is sorted alphabetically, theplaceholder channels appear at the end. You can alsoincrease the number of placeholders by copying aplaceholder repeatedly from the channel pool to thefavourites list.After the search you should call up the “Channelarrangement” sub-menu to look through and assess thenew channels. Uninteresting channels, test cards or anyother “junk programming” can be deleted from the left-handwindow with the ! button (green).A major advantage of the double memory organisation(channel pool and favourites list) is that the “junkprogramming” that is deleted from the list remains in thepool so it is not found again during the next search.Another advantage is that channels that are accidentallydeleted can be copied back into the favourites list from thechannel pool.
