What can it do in this Sky “installer menu”
The Sky installer menu offers the following options :
- LNB Setup – options to change LNB settings (DO NOT CHANGE) or place the box into “Single Cable feed mode”
- Default transponder – don’t change this setting. Tells the Sky box where to download it data from during the boot up process.
- Telephone Settings – no longer required with the use of inetrnet router connections
- RF Outlets – allows you to choose which channel the Sky box will output its analogue PAL signal on, for use with a “Sky Magic Eye” system to resend the signal to other rooms via an RF cable.
- Manual tuning – does the same as Add Channels in the System Setup menu
- New installation – don’t select this unless you are a Sky installer. Simply activates a viewing card.
- Sky+ planner rebuild – allows Sky+ to rebuild list of recordings after a major box crash. A bit like a Hard Drive “Defrag”.
- Full system reset – factory reset, which includes a format of the Hard Drive (loses recordings)
