Introduction
The TF MMDS 100 digital receiver is fully compliant with the
international Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB) standard, and
can receive digital broadcasts.
NOTE
In general we equate a channel with a frequency. Unlike
analogue broadcasts, however, 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 service
is preferably used than channel as a term to indicate one tele-
vision or radio broadcast.
1.1 Features
The TF MMDS 100 digital receiver has the following features:
• Can store up to 2000 television and radio services.
• You can edit the services list.
2 Introduction
• You can make a favourite list with your favourite ser-
vices.
• You can view information about the current television
or radio programme.
• Has an electronic programme guide that provides an
overview of programme schedules for next few hours.
• You can update the firmware of the digital receiver to
the latest version, which will be provided by the manu-
facturer.
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.
1.2.1 The front panel
The front panel of the digital receiver has buttons to control
the digital receiver, and specific lamps and a display to indi-
cate its status. The following indicates what they mean.
