Introduction

The SBI-2050 digital receiver is fully compliant with the inter-

national Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB) standard, and thus

is able to receive digital broadcasts of that standard.

For its operation you need an antenna, which must be installed

appropriately.

NOTE

In general we equate a channel with a frequency. However,

unlike analogue broadcasts, digital broadcasts are not all

assigned to their own frequencies; instead, multiple televi-

sion broadcasts are transmitted through a single frequency.

The frequency in digital broadcasting is usually called trans-

ponder. To reduce confusion in this manual, the word ser-

vice is preferably used than channel as a term to indicate

one television or radio broadcast.

1.1 Features

This digital receiver has the following features:

• Supports DiSEqC 1.0, DiSEqC 1.1, DiSEqC 1.2 and US-

ALS protocols.

2 Introduction

• Can store up to 10,000 television and radio services.

• You can edit the services list.

• Can create favourite lists of your favourite services.

• Can view information about the current television or ra-

dio programme.

• Has an electronic programme guide that provides an

overview of scheduled programmes.

• You can play back video ﬁles of various formats includ-

ing DivX.

1.2 Controlling the digital receiver

You can operate the digital receiver with the remote control or

the buttons on the front panel.

NOTE

When the digital receiver is oﬀ but plugged into a wall

socket, we say that it is in standby mode; on the other hand,

when it is on, it is in operation mode. Even when you are not

using the digital receiver, you should keep it plugged into a

wall socket to be in standby mode so that it can run timer

events at any time.

1.2.1 Front panel

The front panel of the digital receiver has buttons to control

the digital receiver, speciﬁc lamps and a display to indicate its

status. The following indicates what they mean.

1.2 Controlling the digital receiver 3

button switches the digital receiver between standby mode

and operation mode.

lamp blinks every time you press a button on the remote

control.

STANDBY lamp lights up while the digital receiver is in standby

mode.

Front display shows the current time in standby mode, and

displays the current service in operation mode.

CHANNEL

buttons switch to the previous or next ser-

vice. They are also used to navigate in menus and inter-

active screens.

There is a ﬂap on the middle of the front panel that protects

the USB port behind it from dust, into which you can plug a

USB device like a memory stick.

Pull the right edge of the front panel to

open the ﬂap. You have to insert your

subscription card into the front slot to

watch pay services. When you insert

a subscription card, the side on which

the chip is mounted must face upward.
