Automatic satellite-swap
Your satellite system will switch between all satellites receivable at your
location without any user interaction.
The satellites broadcasting the channels are stored together with the
channel position in the channel list (see appendix 'Channel list' on page
60). If the satellite system recognizes a satellite change after you have
changed the channel, the antenna will immediately search for this satellite
and precisely adjust itself to its signal. During this process "Antenna is
being moved" is shown in the display.
If the selected channel cannot be found on the new satellite (e. g. due to
an interruption of transmission or your location being out of range), the
antenna will return to the position of the satellite from which the search
was started and will switch back to one of the channels from this
satellite.
The time required for such a change depends on how far the two satellite
positions are apart. For example, the change from Astra 1 to Hotbird
takes less than 5 seconds if the satellite positions are known. If the exact
positions are not known, the first change will take a little longer.
You may cancel this function at any time by pressing SWAP while the
system is searching for the new satellite. In this case the system reverts to
the previous channel.
This function requires the setting "Active" in Oyster/CARO/Cosmo
Digital ... Æ Edit Settings Æ Automatic satellite-swap. To perform a
manual search, the function "Automatic satellite-swap" must be set to
"Off" in the "Edit Settings" menu, as otherwise the system will always
return a known satellite in order to receive a picture.
