+###IPTV Automatic Network - Don't Probe Services
+
+Tvheadend will by default probe each playlist entry for service information. 
+Some service providers do not allow such probing & will deny (or rate 
+limit) access, leading to scan failures. 
+
+To create services without probing, *Service ID* must be set 
+(usually to 1) and the *Scan after creation* check box un-ticked. 
+
+Note, the above two settings are only visible with the view level set to 
+Expert.
