Your DVD recorder sends a new command to the

on the brand of your satellite receiver).

unsuccessful, repeat the settings, starting at step 11 , but
with the satellite receiver positioned on channel 0, 02

background. Refer to page 7 to sort the stored channels or set the time on your DVD recorder

recordings.
