To manually control the tuner for troubleshooting purposes, select Manual Settings in the drop-down list. Enter values in the Transponder Settings and Antenna Settings textboxes. Click Tune and monitor Tuner Status.

To verify signal reception of a channel on a particular satellite, select the satellite in the drop-down list. If necessary, enter the signal's Transponder (frequency), Symbol Rate, and Polarity values and click Tune. Monitor Signal Quality.


Transponder Settings displays the current tuner settings of the selection in the drop-down list.

Antenna Settings displays LNB and DiSEqC information for the antenna associated with the selection in the drop-down list.
