+  
+* 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
+  - [DVB-T](class/dvb_network_dvbt) - common in most of Europe
+  - [ISDB-T](class/dvb_network_isdb_t) - common in Brazil and various other countries throughout south America

+
+###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.
