Here’s a *simple step-by-step guide on how to scan Free Satellite Channels (FTA)* on *any satellite decoder* — including brands like **QSAT, Strong, Tiger, SuperBox, or Amcon TV**.

---

🛰️ *What You’ll Need*

Before scanning:

A *satellite dish* correctly pointed to a satellite that carries free-to-air (FTA) channels.
A *satellite decoder* (any brand).
A *working LNB* and cable connected to the decoder.

📋 *Step-by-Step: How to Scan Free Satellite Channels*

*Step 1: Turn On Your Decoder & TV*

Make sure the dish cable is tightly connected to the *LNB IN* port at the back of the decoder.
Turn both the *TV* and *decoder* on.

---

*Step 2: Open the Installation Menu*

1. On your remote, press **MENU**.
2. Select *Installation**, **Setup**, or **Satellite Setup* (names vary by brand).
3. Enter your password (often `0000` or `1234`).

---

*Step 3: Select or Add a Satellite*

You’ll see a list of satellites (e.g., **SES 5**, **Eutelsat 16A**, **Astra 2F**, **Nilesat 7W**, etc.).
If your satellite is not listed:

1. Choose **Add Satellite**.
2. Enter a name (like *SES 5*).
3. Save it.

---

*Step 4: Configure Your Antenna/LNB Settings*

1. Select the satellite you want to scan.
2. Set:

*LNB Frequency:* usually *9750/10600* (Universal)
*22KHz:* *Auto* or *ON*
*DiSEqC Port:* Select the port connected to that dish (if using more than one).
3. Check *Signal Strength* and *Quality* bars — both should be above 60%.

If not, adjust your dish slightly until you get a stable signal.

---

*Step 5: Add or Edit Transponders (TP)*

If no TPs (transponders) exist or you want specific ones:

1. Go to **Transponder List**.
2. Press the *Red button (Add)* to enter:

*Frequency* (e.g., `12525`)
*Symbol Rate* (e.g., `30000`)
*Polarization:* *H* or *V*
3. Save and exit.

---

*Step 6: Scan the Satellite*

Now it’s time to find free channels.

1. Select **Satellite Scan**, **Auto Scan**, or **Blind Scan**.
2. Choose:

*Scan Type:* *FTA Only* or *Free Channels Only*
*Network Search:* *ON* (optional, finds linked TPs)
3. Press *OK* or **Start Scan**.

Your decoder will search and store all available free-to-air channels.

---

*Step 7: Save and Watch*

When scanning is complete, choose **Save Channels**.
Exit the menu and press *OK* or *LIST* to view the channels.
You can now watch, rename, or sort them by satellite or category.

🛠️ *Troubleshooting Tips*

If you get **“No Signal”**, check your dish alignment or cable connection.
If some channels are scrambled, they’re not free-to-air (require subscription).
Always choose *FTA Scan* to avoid encrypted ones.
For best results, use *Blind Scan* — it finds all available frequencies.
