Introduction
The TF 5050 CI digital receiver is fully compliant with the in-
ternational Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB) standard, and
can receive digital broadcasts. For its operation you need an
antenna, which must be installed appropriately.
NOTE
In general we equate a channel with a frequency. Unlike ana-
logue broadcasts, however, digital broadcasts are not all as-
signed to their own frequencies; instead, multiple television
broadcasts are transmitted through a single frequency. The fre-
quency in digital broadcasting is usually called transponder. To
reduce confusion in this manual, the word
service
is preferably
used than
channel
as a term to indicate one television or radio
broadcast.
1.1 Features
The TF 5050 CI digital receiver has the following features:
•
Supports DiSEqC 1.0, DiSEqC 1.1, DiSEqC 1.2 and US-
ALS.

•

•

•
You can update the firmware of the digital receiver to the

1.2 Controlling the digital receiver
The digital receiver can be operated with the remote control
and the buttons on the front panel.
NOTE
When the digital receiver is off but plugged into a wall outlet,
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 outlet
to be in standby mode so that it can run timer events at any
time.
