Update channel packages
With Update channel package, you can bring back
satellite channels that were in the satellite channel list
before but are now missing. The missing channels
were repositioned on the transponder by the satellite
operator. The TV must be updated with the latest
version of the channel package.
To download the latest version of the channel
package . . .
1 - Go to the Philips support website
www.philips.com/support and enter the type number
of your TV.
2 - Click on Software and drivers and look for the file :
PredefinedSortingList
3 - Download the file on your computer and copy the
file on the root directory of a USB flash drive, not in a
folder (if necessary, unzip the file first).
4 - Plug the USB flash drive into the TV and press
and select Setup and press OK.
5 - Select Satellite settings > Channel installation >
Update channel package and press OK.
6 - The TV will copy the file and ask you to start a
channel update immediately. Select Yes and press
OK. This may take a few minutes. If you want to
postpone the channel update, you can do it later with
Setup > Search for satellite > Update channels.
7 - After the channel update is done, the missing
channels should be back at their former position in
the satellite channel list.
Unicable setup
The Unicable system
You can use a Unicable system to connect the
antenna dish to the TV. A Unicable system uses one
cable to connect the satellite dish to all satellite
receivers in its system. Unicable is typically used in
apartment buildings. If you use a Unicable system, the
TV will ask you to assign a user band number and
corresponding frequency during the installation. You
can install 1 or 2 satellites with Unicable on this TV.
If you notice some missing channels after a Unicable
installation, another installation might have been
done at the same moment on the Unicable system.
Do the installation again to install the missing
channels.
User band number
In a Unicable system, each connected satellite
receiver must be numbered (e.g. 0, 1, 2 or 3 etc.).
You can find the available user bands and their
number on the Unicable switchbox. User band is
sometimes shortened as UB. There are Unicable
switchboxes that offer 4 or 8 user bands. If you select
Unicable in the settings, the TV will ask you to assign
the unique user band number for its built-in satellite
receiver. A satellite receiver cannot have the same
user band number as another satellite receiver in the
Unicable system.
User band frequency
Next to the unique user band number, the built-in
satellite receiver needs the frequency of the selected
user band number. These frequencies are mostly
shown next to the user band number on a Unicable
switchbox.
Add a satellite
You can add an additional satellite to your current
satellite installation. The installed satellites and their
channels remain untouched. However, some satellite
operators do not allow adding a satellite.
The additional satellite should be seen as an extra, it
is not your main satellite subscription or not the main
satellite of which you use its channel package.
Typically, you would add a 4th satellite when you
have 3 satellites already installed. If you have 4
satellites installed, you might consider removing one
first to be able to add a new satellite.
Settings
If you currently have only 1 or 2 satellites installed, the
current installation settings might not allow adding an
extra satellite. If you need to change the installation
settings, you must redo the complete satellite
installation. You cannot use Add satellite if a change
