2. EXPLANATION OF USED TERMINOLOGY

C-band A frequency range (3.70-4.20 GHz) used for satellite

broadcasts.

CCITT An European committee of the international

Telecommunications Union and makes recommendations for the distribution of telephone and data distribution.

Clarke Belt The Clarke Belt is a dedicated satellite orbit in which

satellites remain in a fixed position relative to the Earth’s surface.

Conditional Access A system which is used by service providers to control the

subscriber’s access to certain services, programs and events like Pay TV.

DBS band A signal frequency range (11.70-12.40ghz) intended for

direct TV broadcast by satellite channels.

Decoder A unit that is connected to a satellite receiver in order to

unscramble a picture that is protected by encryption.

Digital Audio Broadcasting Standard which describes the method of transmitting digital

audio.

DiSEqC A standard through which it is possible to let a DiSEqC

compatible receiver send a signal over the RF cable to a switching device to switch between different LNBs or dishes. The DiSEqC uses the 22 kHz signal to control the switching device.

DVB A broadcast standard for digital radio and television, using

MPEG-2 compression. DVB is being supported by all European manufacturers and broadcasters.

EPG A electronic program guide that comes with the broadcast of

a particular satellite, Note that every station fills the EPG differently or not, so differences in the EPG are not necessarily receiver errors.

FEC Is an invisible part of a broadcast which makes sure that

possible errors in the reception of the satellite signal are corrected.

Feedhorn A part of the dish which collects the signals from the dish.

The signal is then fed to the LNB(F).

Ferrite A remote controlled device that determines the polarity of the

signal which is fed to the LNB. The ferrite is more or less an

electro-magnetic polarizer. Fixed Dish A dish antenna that is pointed at one particular satellite. Free-To-Air broadcast An unscrambled broadcast which you can view without

additional payments to a service provider. Frequency band A frequency band is a range of frequencies which are

dedicated to a certain usage. In the satellite area, commonly

known bands are the C-band and the Ku-band. GMT Greenwich Mean Time (London time) is the time standard

against which all other time zones in the world are

referenced. High Definition Television A digital television format, which combines high-resolution

video and theater like sound to create a movie theater quality

TV viewing experience. Horizontal In the satellite industry, horizontal is used to indicate the

direction in which the received signal is polarized. Normally

you will find that it is abbreviated as H. KU-band A frequency range (10.70-18.00 GHz) used by most

European TV satellites.

Page 8 - 2 EchoStar DSB-707 FTA

Page 59

Glossary

LNB A device behind the feedhorn which processes the signal

into a format which is understood by the receiver for further processing

LNBF A LNB with an integrated Feedhorn. So the LNBF comes as

one single unit.

MPEG The Moving Picture Experts group is founded by the ISO to

provide a basis for the coding and compression of moving pictures. MPEG has now become a standard method for the digital transmission of video and sound using less bandwidth than the analog transmission method.

Near Video-On-Demand Multi channel system broadcasting many copies of a film

with staggered start times so a complete film is always available to a viewer with a short waiting period.

Network With respect to the receiver, a network (also known as a

bouquet) is a set of programs that is offered by a single service provider.

NTSC USA video standard with image format 4:3, 625 lines, 60 Hz

and 4 MHz bandwidth with a total of 6 MHz video channel width.

PAL European video standard with image format 4:3, 625 lines,

50 Hz and 4 MHz bandwidth with a total of 8 MHz video channel width.

PID MPEG-2 transmits the audio and video information in so-

called packages. At the beginning of each package is an identifier (PID) present which tells the receiver what to do with the received information. Satellite receivers use normally four types of PID, these are VPID (video PID), APID (audio PID), Program Clock Reference (PCR PID) and data PID (EPG information).

Parental lock A feature which is introduced to give you the possibility to

‘lock’ or ‘hide’ several functions of the receiver to prevent unauthorized persons (children) to view broadcasts that are not suitable for them. The use of the parental lock requires a PIN code. With this PIN code you can change or unlock the locked or hided channels.

Pay-Per-Channel With this feature, the viewer has to pay a certain price per

month (or other period) to receive all programs of a certain channel.

Pay-Per-View Conditional access service where the user is able to buy one

particular program from a particular service provider.

Pay TV With Pay TV, the consumer has to pay for certain programs

or services.

PIN code The PIN code or Personal Identification Number is

necessary to make use of the parental lock feature. The PIN code has four digits which can be set personally.

Polarization Broadcasts are done in a particular frequency band. To make

maximum use of a frequency band and bring you the maximum number of programs, the broadcasts are polarized in different ways to fit as many as possible programs into one frequency band.

Polarizer A remote controlled device that determines the polarity of the

signal which is fed to the LNB.

Polarmount A motorized dish antenna mount which enables a dish to

point at every ‘visible’ satellite on the Clarke Belt.

Receiver Unit which takes signals from a dish and converts them so

they can appear on radio and TV.

3. EXPLANATION OF THE SEARCH MODES

In the various menu pages you can make a selection from various search modes. The search mode gives the possibility to scan a satellite or transponder in a particular manner. The search modes are identified as: All In this mode the built-in database is used to select the available transponders.

The digital channels that belong to these transponders are searched for and added to the all channel list.

FTA Inthismodethebuilt-indatabaseisusedtoonlysearchfortheavailable

FTA channels which are then added to the all channel list. In the real world it seems that the service providers do not always accurately code their channels with a scrambled or FTA code. For this reason you may find that some searched channels are scrambled. Also there is a possibility that scrambled channels are coded as FTA. These channels will then be missed out because of the erroneous code.

Network In this mode the built-in database or information from the received stream is

used to search for the transponders that are included with the currently received network. The digital channels that belong to this network are searched for and added to the all channel list.
