1 Introduction

Chapter 1

Introduction

The TRF-2470 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 ap-

propriately.

For the latest news and information, join the Topfield forum at

http://www.topfield.com.au.

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 or multiplex. 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

This digital receiver has the following features:

2 Introduction

• Can store up to 2,000 television and radio services.

• Can create 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 record up to four services while you are cur-

rently watching another.

• You can record many programmes using a built-in hard

drive with large storage capacity.

• Time-shift is a special technical feature available on this

digital receiver. You can pause a programme 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 rewind search.

• If you have an external hard drive connected to the dig-

ital receiver via the USB or eSATA port, you can record

television programmes into it.

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

ing DivX.

1 Introduction

1.2 Controlling the digital receiver 3

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 active 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.

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