Channel Packages
Satellite operator can offer channel packages that
bundle free channels (free-to-air) and offer a sorting
that suits a country. Some satellites offer subscription
packages - a collection of channels you pay for.
If you choose a subscription package, the TV might
ask you to select a Quick or Full installation.
Select Satellite operator channels only to install the
channels of the package only or select All satellite
channels to install the package and all other
available channels too. We recommend a Quick
installation for subscription packages. If you have
additional satellites that are not part of your
subscription package, we recommend a Full
installation. All installed channels are put in the
channels list All.

Unicable setup
The Unicable system
You can use a Unicable system to connect the
antenna dish to the TV.A Unicable system uses one
cable to connect the satellite dish to all satellite
receivers in its system. Unicable is typically used in
apartment buildings. If you use a Unicable system, the
TV will ask you to assign a user band number and
corresponding frequency during the installation. You
can install 1 or 2 satellites with Unicable on this TV.
If you notice some missing channels after a Unicable
installation, another installation might have been
done at the same moment on the Unicable system.
Do the installation again to install the missing
channels.
User band number
In a Unicable system, each connected satellite
receiver must be numbered (e.g. 0, 1, 2 or 3 etc.).
You can find the available user bands and their
number on the Unicable switchbox. User band is
sometimes shortened as UB. There are Unicable
switchboxes that offer 4 or 8 user bands. If you select
Unicable in the settings, the TV will ask you to assign
the unique user band number for its built-in satellite
receiver. A satellite receiver cannot have the same
user band number as another satellite receiver in the
Unicable system.
User band frequency
Next to the unique user band number, the built-in
satellite receiver needs the frequency of the selected
user band number. These frequencies are mostly
shown next to the user band number on a Unicable
switchbox.

automatically update the list with new channels.
