Introduction
The TBF-200HD digital receiver is fully compliant with the in-
ternational 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 Topeld 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 throughasingle 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 asaterm
to indicate one television or radio broadcast.
