NOTE
In a DiSEqC1.2 or USALS installation, it is possible to add one or more fixed dishes with the help of an external switch.
System can only be changed during the ini tial installation which becomes ac tiv e af ter a Factory reset. Please refer to the appendix for more details.
If you have a motorized system, you can add a fixed dish in this option. When two LNBs are selected, the first LNB is the motorized dish where LNB2 is the fixed dish.
To set the switch that controls the installation. If you have a system with one LNB, select None. If you select a Switch, note that LNB1 is automatically allocated to Port1. With the Port and SAT options you can tell the receiver which satellite is connected to which port.

EchoStar offers on a regular basis software updates via the satellite and the EchoStar Internet. If you have trouble to get a download with the latest software version, please ask your retail seller or dealer for assistance.

Start Starts the Software upgrade. When the TV screen turns black, the receiver first compares the
current EchoNAV version with the version on the satellite. If the EchoNAV version is the same, the Software upgrade is aborted and the TV returns to live video. If a new EchoNAV version is found on the satellite, the receiver starts to download the new EchoNAV version in temporary memory. When the download is complete, the new EchoNAV version is written to the receiver memory where it deletes the previous version. This process can take up to approximately 30 minutes. The Software upgrade is completed when the TV shows live video.

2. TERMINOLOGY

CI-module/CAM Both names are used for these modules. These modules are PCMCIA
cards with a slot in which you can insert a smart card.
Common Interface A DVB standard which defines the software and hardwa re require ment s
for condition access syst ems.
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.
CVBS Composite video i s a co mbina tion of t he t hree bas ic el ement s o f a vide o
picture (color, brightness, and synchronization) into a single cable with two wires in it as used in SCART and RCA (Video) connections.
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. DiSEqC uses the 0/22kHz signal to control the switching device.
EPG A electronic program guide that comes with a broadcast. 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 that can correct possible errors in the
reception of the digital terrestrial signal. Fixed A dish antenna that is pointed at one particular satellite. Frequency band A range of frequencies which are dedicate to a certain usage. In the
satellite area, known bands are the C/Ku-band. FTA An unscrambled broadcast which you can view without additional
payments to a ser vice provider. Horizontal In the satellite industry, horizontal is used to indicate the direction in
which the received signal is polarized. Normally abbreviated as H. LNB A device behind the feedhorn which processes the signal into a format
which is understood by the receiver for further processing. NVOD 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.

Glossary
NTSC USA video standard with image format 4:3, 625 lines, 60Hz and 4MHz
bandwidth with a total of 6MHz video channel width.
PAL European video standard with image format 4:3, 625 lines, 50Hz and
4MHz bandwidth with a total of 8MHz video channel width.
Parental control A feature which is introd uc ed to give you the possibility to ‘L ock ’ s ev era l
functions of the receiver to prevent unauthorized persons (children) to view broadcasts that are not suit a ble for them.
PID
(Video, Audio, PCR)
A digital signal is divided into so called packages (as suit cases on a transport belt). Each packet holds certain information for Video, Audio, timing and completeness of the packet stream so that the receiver can compose a distortion free signal for your TV or Radio.
Polarity Broadcasts are d one in a p articul ar Frequenc y band. To make ma ximum
use of a Frequency band and bring you the maximum number of programs, the broadcasts are polarized in different ways to fit as much as possible programs into one Frequency band.
RGB RGB is used to transfer a TV signal in DVD quality. The quality is
superior to SVHS and CVBS.
RS-232 connection A RS-232 connection allows you to connect equipment to the receiver
which supp orts the RS-232 protocol.
SCART cable A SCART cable is also known as ‘Perit el’ cable a nd is c ommonly u sed in
Europe to connect the audio and video equipment. A fully furnished SCART cable has 21 wires which is at both sides finished with a 21-pin connector.
SVHS SVHS means Super-VHS and is superior to a CVBS signal but les s then
a RGB signal. Normally it is a single cable consisting of four wires because the black/white (luminance) is separated from the color (chrominance).
Symbol rate Invisible information which tells the receiver at which speed (rate) the
transponder sends the digital information (symbols). The receiver must be able to handle the Symbol rate to process the signal correctly into a correct image.
Transponder Equipment inside a satellite responsible for receiving a single uplinked
channel and rebroadcasting it back to Earth.
Vertica l In the satellite industry, V e rtic al is used to indicate the direction in which
the received signal is polarized. Normally abbreviated as V.

5. THE SEARCH MODES

■ All; the built-in database is used to select the available transponders.
The digital chann els that belon g to these transpon ders are searc hed for and added to the end of the All channels list.
■ FTA; the built-in database is used to only search for the available Free-
To-Air channels which are th en added to the en d of the All chann els 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 FTA channels are coded as Scrambled These channels will then be missed out because of the erroneous code.
■ Network; 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 end of the All channels list.
■ TP; the built-in database or information from the received stream is
used to search for or scan in the selected transponder. The digital channels that belong to this transponder only are searched for or scanned in and added to the end of the All channels list.
■ Digital IF; the currently received sat ellite is sca nned for digi tal cha nnels.
The digital channels, within the tuner bandwidth and selected symbol rates are scanned in and added to the end of the All chann els list .
■ Update; the built-in database is used to search for the available digital
channels. Then all new channels are added to the end of the All channels list.
■ None; the transponders on the selected satellite are not searched for
channels.
