MNC Vision, operating under PT MNC Sky Vision Tbk, delivers a broad spectrum of local and international channels with premium quality from Global Mediacom (MNC Media). Notably, MNC Media is the parent company of Media Nusantara Citra, Indonesia’s largest media group, which owns four major national channels: GTV, MNCTV, RCTI, and iNews.

In our technologically advanced era, cable or satellite TV at home has become a necessity for many. It provides convenient access to entertainment, especially when you miss blockbuster movies in theaters. With satellite TV, you can still catch your favorite films and latest releases anytime.
As an MNC Vision subscriber, knowing how to set up your Indovision receiver, now MNC Vision receiver, is a valuable skill. This includes arranging your preferred channel order and performing channel scans. MNC Vision utilizes S-Band satellite transmission, known for its superior resistance to weather interference.
This technology allows even a small satellite dish to deliver a wide range of local and international channels with optimal quality, regardless of weather conditions. Whether it’s overcast or raining, weather is less of a barrier to enjoying your favorite programs.
However, default factory settings might not always align with individual preferences. Everyone has unique tastes in channel lineups. This is why many subscribers choose to customize their receiver settings. Fortunately, setting up your MNC Vision receiver yourself is straightforward. Here’s how you can do it:
Scanning for Channels on Your MNC Vision Receiver
Scanning for channels is crucial for ensuring you receive all available channels. Sometimes, due to algorithmic delays or updates in channel frequencies, a rescan is necessary. Here’s a step-by-step guide:
- Power On: Turn on your television and your MNC Vision receiver using the power buttons. Ensure your receiver is properly connected to your TV.
- Remote Access: Take your original MNC Vision receiver remote and point it directly at the receiver unit.
- Enter the Menu: Press the “Menu” button on your remote. This will open the main system menu on your TV screen.
- Navigate to System Settings: Using the arrow keys on your remote, navigate to the “System Settings” option and press “OK” to select it.
- Enter PIN: You will be prompted to enter a PIN. The standard default PIN for MNC Vision receivers is typically “0000”. Enter this code using the numeric buttons on your remote.
- Select Satellite Scan: Once in the System Settings menu, find and select the “Satellite Scan” option, then choose “Single Band”.
- Choose MNC Vision S1: In the satellite selection menu, choose “MNC Vision S1”. At this point, observe the signal strength indicator on your TV screen. You may need to slightly adjust your satellite dish to maximize signal strength if it’s weak or non-existent. Ensure the dish is correctly aligned to receive optimal signal.
- Initiate Scan: Press “OK” to start the channel scan. The receiver will now automatically search for and store all available channels. This process may take a few minutes.
- Exit Menu: Once the scan is complete, press the “Back” or “Exit” button on your remote to leave the menu and return to live TV viewing.
- Verify Channels: Check your channel list to confirm that the scan was successful and that new channels, if any, have been added. Your channels should now be updated and accessible.
Customizing Your Channel List: Setting Favorite Channels
After scanning, all available channels will be listed, usually in a default order. However, you can personalize your viewing experience by creating a favorite channel list, putting the channels you watch most frequently within easy reach. Here’s how to customize your channel list on your MNC Vision receiver:
- Power On Devices: Turn on your MNC Vision receiver and your TV. Position your original receiver remote so it’s pointing towards the receiver.
- Access Favorite List: Press the “Fav” or “Favorites” button on your remote control. This action will display the current channel list, which is likely still in the default arrangement.
- Select Favorite Channels: Scroll through the channel list using the arrow keys. Highlight the channels you want to add to your favorites list. For each channel you select as a favorite, press “OK”. There might be an on-screen indicator (like a heart icon or highlighting) to show that a channel has been added to your favorites.
- Organize Your Favorites: Continue selecting all your preferred channels as favorites. You can curate a list that perfectly matches your viewing habits.
- Save and Exit: Once you have selected all your favorite channels, press the “Exit” button to leave the menu. Your receiver should automatically save your customized favorite channel list.
- Check Your Favorite List: Access your favorite channel list again by pressing the “Fav” button to ensure your customized list is saved and correctly arranged.
Now you’ve successfully learned how to scan your MNC Vision receiver and customize your channel list at home. You can now enjoy your preferred channels without needing to call a technician. It’s quite simple, isn’t it?
