Advanced Tuning Settings (External Receivers Only)
Home  Previous  Next

These settings allow you to adjust your infrared (IR) tuning device to work properly with the range of external receivers supported by Beyond TV. We recommend only changing these settings after determining that you are unable to properly tune your device.

Device Name
Enter the name of your external receiver here.

Use Enter after sending channel request
Selecting this option makes Beyond TV transmit an 'Enter' command to your receiver after sending the digits for the channel.

Pad Channels
Selecting this option automatically increases the number of digits Beyond TV transmits to the receiver. Some receivers require channels to be entered as three or more digits.

Pad to how many digits?
The appropriate number of 0s will be added to each channel selection to make the total number of digits equal to the number you've specified in this field. For example, if you pad channels to 4 digits Beyond TV will send channel 13 as "0013." If you pad channels to 3 digits, it will send "013." Values in this field will only be recognized if you have enabled the Pad Channels option above.

Pause between transmissions
This value controls the length of time in milliseconds between transmissions from Beyond TV. Increase the delay if your receiver is missing channel digits. Decrease the delay if channel changing is sluggish.

Repeat each button press how many times?
This setting ensures that transmissions from Beyond TV are properly detected. Use the table below to determine how to set this value for your situation.
