above-average capacity of 7000
channels. This means there is a
large memory reserve since the
available FTA channels in Europe
number at most 2500 leaving
plenty of room for encrypted
channels.
Memory management encompasses
every satellite and 32
Favorites lists divided into TV
and radio channels. They can be
completely edited; entries can
be locked, deleted, renamed or
moved. Transponders can easily
be added although no more than
16 satellites can be stored.
If you access the channel list
with the OK button, you can scroll
within the channel list without
actually switching to another
channel – a second push of the
OK button is needed for that to
happen. For every channel the
associated frequency and polarization
is shown.
With the left cursor button an
additional menu can be called
up with which you can access
a Favorites list and the channel
list. The remote control really
doesn’t need a Satellite button
anymore.
With multiple satellites, channel
management becomes a
little more awkward. Moving
and deleting channels can only
be done with the entire channel
list displayed; it might get
a little confusing to keep track
of what channel goes with what
satellite.
This problem is somewhat
solved by the fact that each
channel keeps the same channel
number regardless of what list
you happen to be looking in at
that moment.
With every channel change an
Info bar appears at the bottom
of the screen for 3 to 30 seconds
(user-settable) that provides:
- the name and number of
the channel
- the name of the current
program
- the name of the next program
- the date, time, audio and
language
