Chapter 1

Introduction

The TF 6000 PVR ES digital receiver is fully compliant with the

international 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. 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 6000 PVR ES digital receiver has the following features:

•

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

ALS.

2 Introduction

• Can store up to 5000 television and radio services.

• You can edit the services list.

•

You can create favourite lists of your favourite services.

•

You can view information about the current television or

radio programme.

•

Has an electronic programme guide that provides an

overview of scheduled programmes.

•

You can record one service while you are currently watch-

ing another.

•

The large storage capacity of the hard disk drive allows

you to record up to about 60 hours of television —in case

of 250 gigabytes— in excellent picture and sound quality.

•

Time shift is a special technical feature available on the

TF 6000 PVR ES. You can pause the programme you are

watching and resume it again at a later time. Then

you can quickly go to whatever part of the current pro-

gramme by fast foward or backward search.

1.2 Controlling the digital receiver

You can operate the digital receiver 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.
