Some new channels are available and some existing channels have been changed by the broadcaster , how do I tune them in ?
From time to time broadcasters add new channels or change their transmission parameters, so occasionally you need to update your receiver by doing a transponder (TP) scan. Step-by-step instructions for Amiko, Edision and Ariva boxes are further down this page.
We also offer service calls to update Amiko, Edision and Ariva boxes within our service area. Please click here

Arrow down to "Ok to Search" and prees OK.
If the exact TP (transponder) information does not appear in the drop-down list then press the yellow button on the remote for TP edit . You can then press the green button to enter the frequency symbol rate and polarity to create a new TP entry using the information above. Press red for TP scan when the level and quality readings are yellow and green.
You may also change the symbol rate of an existing transponder by using TP edit, press yellow when on the satellite installation page.
The newly scanned channels will appear at the end of the channel list and you can now edit them into any position you like by pressing "Menu", "Service" and "Organizing Service" on the Amiko remote.

On the Ariva combo receivers you can add any new transponders by pressing Menu, then move left or right using the arrows beside the OK button until you select "TP list" then press OK.
Press the green button to "Add" and enter the frequency, symbol rate, and polarity as per the details for the channel you want above. For example Movies for men has a frequency of 11344 with polarity H and symbol rate of 27500. You may see a message saying "TP already exists" in which case you can just select yes to go to the existing transponder.
Press the blue button to search. A new menu should appear, set FTA only to "Yes" to avoid tuning in pay TV channels. Leave network search at no. Press ok and you should see the channels appearing and then "Search End". Press ok and these channels should now appear at the end of you channel list or alphabetically if you have your channel list set that way.
You can then use the edit function by selecting Tv Channel list under "Edit Channel" in the menu to delete the original channel and replace it with the new channel you have just tuned in.
