Re: ThThe idiots guide to updating your Spiderbox HD

Adding a Satellite to the Spiderbox data base
Go to Installations >> Satellite >>look through the list of stored satellites if the satellite you require is there then click on it & scan an active transponder for the satellite to become active,
If the satellite is a new one that is not in the data base then you can add it,
Find a vacant slot then name the satellite & save it >> now go manual scan & add a known active transponder & scan for the new satellite to become active.
