scramble encrypted broadcasts when placed in a decoder or
receiver with a built-in decoder.

SMATV
A satellite master antenna TV system is a system which
shares the reception resources and is intended for the
distribution of TV and radio signals to the user in one ore
more buildings.

Stream
The signal which is received from the transponder which
contains the together with the video signal, additional
information that the receiver needs in order to process the
received signal correctly.

information that the receiver needs in order to process the

Symbol rate
Information in the stream which tells the receiver at which
speed (rate) the transponder sends the digital information
(symbols). The receiver must be able to handle the symbol
rate to process the signal correctly into a correct image.

Transponder
Equipment inside a satellite responsible for receiving a single
uplinked channel and rebroadcasting it back to Earth.

Vertical
In the satellite industry, vertical is used to indicate the
direction in which the received signal is polarized. Normally
you will find that it is abbreviated as V.

EXPLANATION OF THE SEARCH MODES
In the various menu pages you can make a selection from various search modes. The search
mode gives the possibility to scan a satellite or transponder in a particular manner. The
search modes are identified as:
All
mode gives the possibility to scan a satellite or transponder in a particular manner. The
search modes are identified as:
All
In this mode the built-in database is used to select the available transponders.
The digital channels that belong to these transponders are searched for and
added to the all channel list.
The digital channels that belong to these transponders are searched for and
added to the all channel list.
FTA
In this mode the built-in database is used to only search for the available
FTA channels which are then added to the all channel list. In the real world it
seems that the service providers do not always accurately code their channels
with a scrambled or FTA code. For this reason you may find that some
searched channels are scrambled. Also there is a possibility that scrambled
channels are coded as FTA. These channels will then be missed out because
of the erroneous code.

Network
In this mode the built-in database or information from the received stream is

received network. The digital channels that belong to this network are

Digital IF
In this mode the currently received satellite is scanned for digital channels. The
digital channels, within the tuner bandwidth and selected symbol rates are
scanned in and added to the all channel list.
