DVB

A frequency range (3.70-4.20 GHz) used for satellite
broadcasts.
An European committee of the international
Telecommunications Union and makes recommendations for
the distribution of telephone and data distribution.
The Clarke Belt is a dedicated satellite orbit in which satellites
remain in a fixed position relative to the Earth’s surface.
Both names are used for these modules. These modules are
PCMCIA cards with a slot in which you can insert a smart
card.
A DVB standard which defines the software and hardware
requirements for condition access systems.
A system which is used by service providers to control the
subscriber’s access to certain services, programs and events
like Pay TV.
A signal frequency range (11.70-12.40ghz) intended for direct
TV broadcast by satellite channels.
A unit that is connected to a satellite receiver in order to
unscramble a picture that is protected by encryption.
Standard which describes the method of transmitting digital
audio.
A standard through which it is possible to let a DiSEqC
compatible receiver send a signal over the RF cable to a
switching device to switch between different LNBs or dishes.
The DiSEqC uses the 22 kHz signal to control the switching
device.
A broadcast standard for digital radio and television, using
MPEG-2 compression. DVB is being supported by all
European manufacturers and broadcasters.
A electronic program guide that comes with the broadcast of a
particular satellite, Note that every station fills the EPG
differently or not, so differences in the EPG are not
necessarily receiver errors.
Is an invisible part of a broadcast.which makes sure that
possible errors in the reception of the satellite signal are
corrected.
A part of the dish which collects the signals from the dish. The
signal is then fed to the LNB(F).
A remote controlled device that determines the polarity of the
signal which is fed to the LNB. The ferrite is more or less an
electro-magnetic polarizer.
A dish antenna that is pointed at one particular satellite.
An unscrambled broadcast which you can view without
additional payments to a service provider.
A frequency band is a range of frequencies which are dedicate
to a certain usage. In the satellite area, commonly known
bands are the C-band and the Ku-band.
A digital television format, which combines high-resolution
video and theater like sound to create a movie theater quality
TV viewing experience.
In the satellite industry, horizontal is used to indicate the
direction in which the received signal is polarized. Normally
you will find that it is abbreviated as H.
A frequency range (10.70-18.00 GHz) used by most European
TV satellites.
A device behind the feedhorn which processes the signal into
a format which is understood by the receiver for further
processing
A LNB with an integrated Feedhorn. So the LNBF comes as
one single unit.

Digital Satellite Receiver

Section 8

The Moving Picture Experts group is founded by the ISO to
provide a basis for the coding and compression of moving
pictures. MPEG has now become a standard method for the
digital transmission of video and sound using less bandwidth
than the analog transmission method.
Multi channel system broadcasting many copies of a film with
staggered start times so a complete film is always available to
a viewer with a short waiting period.
With respect to the receiver, a network (also known as a
bouquet) is a set of programs that is offered by a single
service provider.
USA video standard with image format 4:3, 625 lines, 60 Hz
and 4 MHz bandwidth with a total of 6 MHz video channel
width.
European video standard with image format 4:3, 625 lines,
50 Hz and 4 MHz bandwidth with a total of 8 MHz video
channel width.
MPEG-2 transmits the audio and video information in socalled packages. At the beginning of each package is an
identifier (PID) present which tells the receiver what to do with
the received information. Satellite receivers use normally four
types of PID, these are VPID (video PID), APID (audio PID),
Program Clock Reference (PCR PID) and data PID (EPG
information).
A feature which is introduced to give you the possibility to
‘lock’ or ‘hide’ several functions of the receiver to prevent
unauthorized persons (children) to view broadcasts that are
not suitable for them. The use of the parental lock requires a
PIN-code. With this PIN-code you can change or unlock the
locked or hided recordings and channels.
With this feature, the viewer has to pay a certain price per
month (or other period) to receive all programs of a certain
channel.
Conditional access service where the user is able to buy one
particular program from a particular service provider.
With Pay TV, the consumer has to pay for certain programs or
services.
The PIN-code or Personal Identification Number is necessary
to make use of the parental lock feature. The PIN code has
four digits which can be set personally.
Broadcasts are done in a particular frequency band. To make
maximum use of a frequency band and bring you the
maximum number of programs, the broadcasts are polarized
in different ways to fit as much as possible programs into one
frequency band.
A remote controlled device that determines the polarity of the
signal which is fed to the LNB.
A motorized dish antenna mount which enables a dish to point
at every ‘visible’ satellite on the Clarke Belt.
Unit which takes signals from a dish and converts them so
they can appear on radio and TV.
A RS232 connection allows you to connect equipment to the
receiver which supports the RS232 protocol.
A broadcast station, for satellite radio and TV, positioned on
the Clarke Belt.
A SCART cable is also known as ‘Peritel’ cable and is
commonly used in Europe to connect the audio and video
equipment. A fully furnished SCART cable has 21 wires which
is at both sides finished with a 21-pin connector.
A service provider is a company or organization that collects
and offers you a number of programs and services. Some are
free of charge and others you have to pay for.

A card that contains a ‘smart’ code and is used to de-scramble
encrypted broadcasts when placed in a decoder or receiver
with a built-in decoder.
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.
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.
Invisible information 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.
Equipment inside a satellite responsible for receiving a single
uplinked channel and rebroadcasting it back to Earth.
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

All rights reserved

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
In this mode the built-in database is used to select the available transponders.
The digital and analog 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
used to search for the transponders that are included with the currently
received network. The digital channels that belong to this network are
searched for and added to the all channel list.
TP
In this mode the built-in database or information from the received stream is
used to search for or scan in the selected transponder. The digital and/or
analog channels that belong to this transponder only are searched for or
scanned in and added to the all channel list.
Digital
In this mode the built-in database is used to search for the available digital
channels. The digital channels are then added to the all channel list. The digital
channels are shown as white channel names for easy recognition.
Analog
In this mode the built-in database is used to add the analog channels to the all
channel list. The analog channels are shown as black channel names for easy
recognition.
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.
Analog IF
In this mode the currently received satellite is scanned for analog channels.
The analog channels within the tuner bandwidth are scanned in and added to
the all channel list.
Update
In this mode the built-in database is used to search for the available digital
channels. Then all new channels are added to the all channel list.
None
Transponders on the selected satellite are not searched for.

APPENDIX 2

1.

INTRODUCTION
This appendix gives the information necessary for the use of the Quattro with other
equipment than the EchoStar receiver. This appendix also contains a code reference list
which gives the program code for most of the know TV, video and audio equipment.
The Quattro is and infra red (IR) type programmable remote control unit (RCU) that is able to
control most functions (basic) of your TV, VCR, DVD and Audio equipment connected to the
receiver. You can program the RCU with a code to which your equipment responds. If the
code is not available in the supplied code list, the built-in intelligence assists you to find the
applicable code.
For future use it is recommended that you make a note of the equipment codes and the serial
number in the fields below: The RCU is already pre-programmed for the EchoStar receiver
with code 0222.
