A fairly new Panasonic TH-43JS610Z Andoid TV where the user manual was thrown out with the old TV  😃

 

I have hunted online for Satellite tuning/editing instuctions for this TV without success.

 

The user was with Sky but has now asked to tune the TV for Satellite Freeview.

 

I was able to do a blind scan and ended up with 182 channels and did a rough edit for the Freeview channels.... pretty messy.

 

Editing did not seem very intuitive.... or I was having a bad day.

 

I tried to do a scan for just Freeview channels without success.

 

Any help or pointers would be most appreciated.

Stu: Does this help at all? https://www.panasonic.com/content/dam/Panasonic/nz/en/support/category_list/televisions/2021-Models-eHelp-Guide.pdf

 

Thanks for the link.

 

It has given me the idea of perhaps using a favourites list for the Freeview Channels.

 

The doc looks like it is related to Viera TVs with a more comprehensive Remote... not an Android TV.

Stu: Then perhaps the manual for the 600 will be close? https://www.panasonic.com/content/dam/Panasonic/nz/pdf-download/TH-32JS600Z-Operating-Instructions.pdf

 

Given the sat tuner is never even mentioned.

Thanks for the link..... I saw that too.

 

Reference to satellite is using a set top box connected with HDMI.

 

The TV I am referring to has a Satellite TV tuner built in.

Yeah I didn't read it, just trying to find something close, since Panasonic are doing their best to not provide support for yet another model.

I sent an email to Panasonic late yesterday and I have received a couple of PDFs which will help me. Very fast response and support.

 

The big problem when I did a Sat Tuner Blind Scan was the large number of Transponders found.... and I selected them all!

 

The doc provided lists the Transponder I should use: 12483 H 22500.

 

The Blind Scan has already given me the correct LNB freq.

 

Hopefully this should help setting up Freeview.

Excellent. Would be so much easier if they had a link to the user guide on the website right from product release. This seems to happen quite often with Panasonic. Not with all products/models, but enough to be annoying.
