    Amongst other things, the below parameters are what you need to decide prior to manual scan.

    1. Tuner

    You need to decide which tuner you want to use for manual scan.

    2. System

    Here you have two options between DVB-S (SD) and DVB-S2 (HD), if DVB-S2 tuner is mounted.

    3. Frequency

    You need to enter the exact frequency of the transponder that you want to scan.

    4. Symbol Rate

    YES option takes longer while it may results in a better scan result.

    Otherwise, select NO to scan all FTA and CAS channels.

    you will see the progressive bar and the newly found services underneath.
