* Satellite, any signal coming in via a dish
- [DVB-S](class/dvb_network_dvbs)
- [ISDB-S](class/dvb_network_isdb_s)

* Terrestrial, over-the-air broadcasts received through a traditional television aerial

of which can also be seen in the grid view:

###Menu Bar/Buttons

The following functions are available:

Button | Function
---------------|---------
**Save** | Save any changes made to the network configuration.
**Undo** | Undo any changes made to the network configuration since the last save.
**Add** | Add a new network. You can choose from any of the types described above.
**Delete** | Delete an existing network. This will also remove any association with an adapter.
**Edit** | Edit an existing network. This allows you to change any of the parameters you’d otherwise set when adding a new network, e.g. network discovery, idle scan, etc. - similar to using the check boxes to enable/disable functions.
**Force Scan** | Force a new scan (i.e. scan all muxes for services) for the selected networks.
**Help** | Displays this help page.
