The Sort TV channels menu permits you to re-
arrange the channels, sorting them in numerical
order or alphabetically from A - Z or Z - A, even
according to Network or Provider if you wish.
Also, you may select channels to be your
Favourites and move them to a separate
Favourites list, which you can use for everyday
viewing. You are also informed which channels
are scrambled and therefore cannot be watched.
To delete channels, select a channel with the

When watching TV, you can switch between the

one list to the other and back, to make it easy for
you to have all available channels or just the
ones you prefer present for selection.

want to see.
Figure 1j
In the Technical Information menu you can see
details regarding the channel that you are cur-
rently watching, or the DVB-T tuner. You may
update the DVB-T software via the antenna by
pressing Enter to confirm the Update Software
prompt. This may take several minutes, and if no
new software is available, you will be informed
about this.
Figure 1k
The Security menu gives you the option to lock
the DVB-T tuner in order to avoid children watch-
ing programs unsuited for their age. When press-
ing "Enter", the screen asks for a four-digit PIN
code. The default code is "0000". Enter the code
and press "Enter". You will see the menu lines
"Parental Control" and "Change Pin". The
Parental Control permits ages from 4 to 18 years
to be selected, or "Off". At the time of writing,
this age-based system is not in use, but plans are
progressing to introduce age codes to be trans-
mitted along with the program content, to
exclude programs that are marked to be for chil-
dren older than the set limit.
You may also change the PIN code. You will be
asked to give the present code once, the new
code once and then once more to confirm.
Remember the new code.
Figure 1l
The topmost menu is "System Settings", which
permits you to customize the DVB-T tuner set-
tings that you do not need to alter very often.
Entering "System Settings" shows the following
screen with three setting options: Language,
Menu and Miscellaneous.
Figure 1m
Language Settings lets you select your first
and second choices of Audio language, your first
and second choices of subtitle languages and
whether or not you want subtitles at all. Please
note that these options are available only if the
channel you watch transmits them.
Menu Settings lets you decide how long the
Information Banners should be visible on the
screen. You may select from 1 second to 15 sec-
onds as well as Permanent and None. If you
select 4 seconds or more, you may also select the
Info Banner Automatic to be On or Off. This
option shows an information bar when a new
programme starts if selected On.
Miscellaneous Settings lets you choose
between manual or automatic time zone adjust-
ment. If manual is chosen, you may enter the
time zone of your choice. If automatic is chosen,
the tuner receives time information from the
DVB-T system, including info about
Summertime/Daylight Savings Time. You may also
select active antenna or not, if you change the
antenna to another type. Do not select Active if
you are not absolutely sure that you do have an
active antenna. You may switch the channel list
appearance to list the channels alphabetically A-Z
or Z-A, or according to provider, or to show no
sorting at all.
