3.h Using the transponder functions and entering new channels by hand
There is a short summary of the transponder functions in chapter 5.f.
Possibly when you read the settings from your receiver you wondered about channels with strange names and that some channels were missing in your list (e.g. German Premiere, soccer, Formula 1 or pay-per-view channels).
Channels that share place (like the German ARTE/Kinderkanal) can only be found in the receiver if they are active at the time you make the channel search. Some of the Premiere Direkt, soccer and Formula 1 channels are found, but not with the right name.
In the following you find a description how to enter new transponders (and channels) and how to change wrong transponder data.
In the Internet there are sites (e.g. www.lyngsat.com) where you can find all channel settings (including the missing pay-per-view or soccer channels). In the following you find an explanation how to enter channels and transponders from such lists by hand.
Suppose you discover on www.lyngsat.com that on satellite X a new transponder is active, but your receiver can't find this transponder at the moment, for example because it does not send at the moment (feed) or your antenna is not aligned to this satellite.

Here we see that transponder 12656 horizontal is new and one scrambled TV channel (Anem, the orange background shows you that the channel is scrambled) and two audio channels (B2-92 with two different audio PIDs) are active on this transponder.
Now you have the possibility to create a new transponder first and then enter the channel on this transponder. Or you can directly enter a new channel with the right transponder data on the satellite. Both methods may be useful, so both will be described in the following:
To create a new transponder, you first have to select the satellite of this transponder. Then you click with the right mouse button in the transponder list and select in the transponder menu the function "New" -> "Transponder". You see the following window:

For the example mentioned above you enter 12656 for the frequency and HOR for the polarity. The symbol rate in this case is 2963.
In this example the FEC is 3/4.
The green numbers in the Lyngsat chart are the NETwork ID and the TS ID (here NET ID = 0 and TS ID = 176).
These two IDs identify the transponder. The Net ID identifies the provider; the provider sets the TS ID in any way he likes. If a provider has more than one transponder on one satellite, the Net ID is always the same and the TS ID differs.
Please confirm with OK then you will find the new transponder at the end of the transponder list.
Note: Some boxes are only visible for certain transponder types, e.g. "Pilot" for DVB-S2 transponders.
Now you can enter the new TV and radio programs on this transponder.
To do this select the new transponder and click with the right mouse button in the now empty channel list and select the function "new" from the channel menu you get. You get the following window:

You can also click with the right mouse button in the transponder list (the new transponder has to be selected too) and with "New" you can select the function "TV channel on this transponder" or "radio channel on this transponder".
You will get the same window.
The correct transponder is already entered.
If you want to enter a channel directly, please select the satellite for this channel, click with the right mouse button in the channel list and select the function "New" from the menu you get.
You will get the same window as with the other method again, except that in this case the transponder data has to be entered in the fields "Frequency", "Polarity", "Symbol rate", "FEC", "TS ID" and "Net ID".
In the field "Name" you can enter the name of the channel (here "Anem").
Then you have to enter the PIDs and the channel ID.
In the field "Provider" you can change the provider of this channel.
The TV channel "Anem" for example (see list above) has the video PID 4194 and the audio PID 4195. The channel ID (service ID) is 1 and the PCR PID is as a rule identical to the video PID, so don't forget to enter it!
For the Audio (radio) channels of course no Video PID is given. Usually you use the VPID 1FFF (hexadecimal) or 8191 (decimal) to indicate that this PID is not used.
In the field "Service Type" you can change the type of the channel (TV, radio or HDTV).
When you have entered all the parameters please click on OK and the new channel will appear at the end of your channel list.
If you only want to change some of the parameters of a transponder (e.g. because the TS ID and/or the Net ID are wrong), you simply have to select the transponder, click with the right mouse button into the transponder list and select from the menu that appears the function "Change data". You get a dialogue where you can change the parameters of the selected transponder. (You can also make a double click on the transponder to get this dialogue.)
As soon as a satellite has one channel it is shown as being active (appears in green). Satellites that have no channel have a white background. (You can change these colours in the configuration.)
If you want to enter channels that differ only in few parameters, it is useful to create a duplicate of a channel (please use the copy and paste function from the channel menu) and then change only the different parameters.
Note: In some lists the PIDs are given in decimal notation, in others in hexadecimal notation (see chapter 8). You have to be aware of that when you enter the PIDs. In the configuration menu and in the channel data window you can specify if you want to see/enter the PIDs in decimal or hexadecimal form.

When you enable the option "always on top" in the configuration menu, SetEditSamsungJ will always be in the foreground on your desktop. This can be useful when you work with such Internet lists, as the SetEdit window will not go into the background when you click in the browser.
You also change the notation of the PIDs if you click on the "H" for hexadecimal or "D" for decimal in the border of the "Info" section.
To compare your settings file with lists in the Internet that are often sorted by frequencies you have the possibility to sort the transponders of your settings file by frequency. To do this click with the right mouse button in the transponder list and select "view sorted by" -> "frequency" from the menu you get.
Alternatively you can also view the transponder list sorted by polarity.
You can also set the viewing mode by clicking on the letters "O" (original), "F" (sort by frequency) and "P" (sort by polarity) in the frame of the transponder list.
