Introduction
The TF 7700 HD PVR/TF 7710 HD PVR 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. However,
unlike analogue broadcasts, 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 7700 HD PVR/TF 7710 HD PVR digital receiver has the
following features:
2 Introduction
•
Supports DiSEqC 1.0, DiSEqC 1.1, DiSEqC 1.2 and US-
ALS.
• 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
7700 HD PVR/TF 7710 HD PVR. You can pause the pro-
gramme you are watching and resume it again at a later
time. Then you can quickly go to any part of the current
programme by fast forward 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.
