Restoring factory settings and channel search

When tuning channels, we recommend that you restore factory settings. The advantage here is that no redundant old information remains in the device memory when retuning channels. If the receiver asks for a passcode, the default typically is 0000 or 1111 or, in rare occasions, 1234. On some devices, channels can be retuned without restoring factory settings.

Restoring factory settings

• Press the MENU button on the remote control
• In the main menu, select ASENNUS (INSTALLATION). Arrow buttons UP (P+) and DOWN (P-) are usually used to navigate the menu. The OK button is usually used to make a selection.
• In the ASENNUS (INSTALLATION) menu, select TEHDASASETUKSET (FACTORY SETTINGS)
• Follow the on-screen instructions.

Automatic channel search without factory settings

• Press the MENU button on the remote control
• In the main menu, select ASENNUS (INSTALLATION) or KANAVAHAKU (CHANNEL SEARCH). Arrow buttons UP (P+) and DOWN (P-) are usually used to navigate the menu. The OK button is usually used to make a selection
• In the menu, select AUTOMAATTINEN KANAVAHAKU (AUTOMATIC CHANNEL SEARCH)
• Follow the on-screen instructions.

Manual channel search

• Press the MENU button on the remote control
• In the main menu, select ASENNUS (INSTALLATION) or KANAVAHAKU (CHANNEL SEARCH). Arrow buttons UP (P+) and DOWN (P-) are usually used to navigate the menu. The OK button is usually used to make a selection
• In the menu, select MANUAALINEN KANAVAHAKU (MANUAL CHANNEL SEARCH) or select the MANUAL search method
• Enter the Channel or, alternatively, the transmission frequency to KANAVA (CHANNEL) or TAAJUUS (FREQUENCY). TV-station-specific broadcasting frequencies.
• Select ALOITA HAKU (START SEARCH)
• Follow the on-screen instructions.
• Repeat steps 1–6 for all channels you want to install

NOTE!

Refer to the receiver’s instruction manual for detailed instructions on channel search and factory reset for your receiver. The above-mentioned instructions apply to most digital set-top boxes. If you are unable to retune channels, you should contact a specialist, for example, the seller or importer of the device.

Order of channels in the terrestrial television network

For the transmission end of the terrestrial television network, the following channel order has been defined for channels: a list of channels or redirection to the map service.

Reception of terrestrial television and radio propagation conditions

Effect of weather conditions and radio propagation conditions to the reception of radio and tv broadcasts

The signal strength for radio and tv reception is affected not only by devices but also weather conditions. For example, rain, snow, fog and tree leaves (in the summer) weaken the radio and television signals. In winter, snow accumulating on the antenna can greatly affect the antenna features and functionality. The most difficult weather phenomena are the so-called radio propagation conditions that may disrupt the watching or listening of broadcasts. Radio propagation conditions mean the excess propagation of radio signals. The conditions caused by the phenomenon are formed when the air temperature in the lower atmosphere increases upwards in a layered manner and the relative air humidity in the same layer decreases strongly in the upwards direction. This results in a situation where radio signals travel as a reflection even for hundreds of kilometres and cause disturbance. The radio propagation conditions only have a minor effect near the station. The effect is stronger at the edge of the coverage area, approximately 50–60 kilometres from the station.

Exceptional radio propagation conditions may interfere with reception in two ways. The signal strength of the station you want to listen may fall sharply, or the signal level of a station broadcasting in the same frequency further away may increase due to the excess propagation. This may mean that during strong radio propagation conditions, you cannot see television broadcasts or listen to radio programs. Radio propagation conditions occur most often during high pressure. It is not possible to prevent the disturbances caused by the phenomenon with transmission technology. Radio propagation conditions can last from hours to days. When the weather changes, the disturbances cease.

Televisions viewers can reduce the effect of radio propagation conditions by using a more effective antenna with more directivity and a better front-to-back ratio. Read the “Pientalon antenniopas” guide for more information. The disturbances caused by radio propagation conditions can be reduced by ensuring that the signal level is at least 80% for all multiplexes. Digita monitors radio propagation conditions continuously and provides up-to-date information on them.
