old level can result in too manysignals being detected. Unfor-tunately, the blind scan modedoes not recognise the satelliteID so that channels on neigh-bouring satellites are stored asduplicates.

Because of this the channellist has to be edited manually

after a blind scan search, allthe more so because currentlya search for FTA channels willalso yield some encryptedchannels and store these inthe TV channel list. The samehappens with data channels,which occasionally appear onthe radio list.

Alphabetical channel list

Channels can be moved ordeleted with the integratededitor, yet this is a tiresometask. A suitable PC applicationavailable for download fromwww.nanoxx.info does a muchnicer job.

The channel memory is

more than sufcient, providingcapacity for 8.000 TV and radiochannels and 2.800 transpond-ers. TV and radio stations are inseparate lists and nine favour-ites lists (for TV and radioeach) can be fully customisedto ones own requirements.

The receiver is also perfectlyequipped for multifeed anten-nas or rotating dishes, fea-turing all DiSEqC 1 protocolsincluding DiSEqC 1.1. This waythe box can switch between16 different antenna signals.

Rotating dishes can be alignedusing DiSEqC 1.2 or Goto X, orare controlled fully automati-cally using the USALS menu.Each pre-stored satellite thencan be individually addressedand its channels are displayedin separate lists.

To top everything off, wediscovered a handy innova-tion which caused quite a stirin our ofce: operating systemupdates are transmitted viaUSB, which is faster and moreefcient than everything we

have seen so far. To that end thereceiver features a USB inter-face to take in a USB memorystick. The PC is only needed todownload the upgrade from theNanoXX website and save thele(s) onto the stick. Afterplug-ging the stick on the receiversUSB interface the upgradeinstallation can be started witha simple command on the on-screen menu. In addition tothe latest operating softwarethe USB stick solution can evenupdate complete channels lists.

Whats more, JPG imageson the memory stick can bepresented on the TV usingthe photo show feature, eventhough there is a limit of 1 MBto the size of the les.

Each satellite broadcasts a multitude of transmission channels. And because eachtransmission channel broadcasts not onlyone but several TV and radio channels itis called a transponder. For differentiatingbetween the individual TV and radio chan-nels a satellite receiver needs to know thefrequency and polarisation (horizontal/ver-tical) of the transponder as well as addi-tional information regarding the individual

channels transmitted via a transponder.This is the only way a receiver can pick outwhat it needs from the data stream.

Receivers sold these days only need thefrequency, the polarisation and the symbolrate to identify a transponder and detect

all channels transmitted by that trans-ponder. However, these three values haveto be stored in the receiver in the rst placewhich is why receivers come with pre-setdata regarding transponders. Unfortu-nately, however, these lists become out-of-date rather quickly because TV and radiochannels sometimes switch frequencies,and even more frequently the symbol ratesare changed. If this happens the receiver

cannot nd the channels any longer and thenew data has to be researched on the Inter-net and manually be set in the receiver.

Transponder lists available on the Inter-net can greatly fac ilitate this job our com-

prehensive SatcoDX list is a prime examplefor such an assisting tool. With the help of editing software the channels can be man-aged conveniently on the PC, but it is stillwork you have to do manually.

Blind scan rece ivers do not need any datainput. They are able to identify all activetransponders, the frequency band and allother parameter automatically and thus

always have up-to-date transponder andchannel lists in their memory. This makesblind scan the best search method for set-ting up a new satellite reception system. Inaddition, blind scan allows to always updatethe current offering of channels.
