Getting Started

GETTING STARTED

1. FIRST TIME INSTALLATION

Installation of this receiver is not difficult but each installation has its advantages and disadvantages. Normally a generic dual tuner PVR receiver lets you watch and record two different programs at the same time. In principle it is the same as with an ordinary TV-VCR installation. The TV uses its own tuner to let you watch a program while the VCR uses its own tuner for recording a program.

In this receiver, EchoStar has added some intelligence to the usage of the two built in tuners. This receiver can record up to four programmes at the same time while you watch another with the possibility to view the sixth programme in a picture-in-picture view. Due to technical reasons, you will find that there are some limitations is selecting the programs. These limitations depend on the installation type and program choice

In the next paragraphs you will learn about the basics of satellite broadcasts, installation configurations and their impact on your daily use.

SATELLITE BROADCASTS

The digital signal that is transmitted from the satellite, is for more economy (more channels at the same time ) divided by using different transmission techniques. In satellite jargon, the digital signal is divided in High/Low band, frequencies, horizon tal/vertica l polarization and symbol rates. For maximum efficiency the digital signals are spread over so called transponders (TP). But what about the band? All transponders with a frequency under 11700 Mhz are in the low band where transponders with a frequency over 11700 Mhz are in the high band. Thus the transponder (12188/H) in our example belongs to the high band as its frequency (12188) is over 11700 MHz.

INSTALLATION CONFIGURATIONS

If this receiver replaces your current satellite receiver, there is no need to replace your dish installation or LNB. In this case follow the instructions on how to install a Loop-through configuration.

You can connect the receiver in different ways, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. Y ou can use the Loop-through configuration where you connect a single dish to the first tuner and the output of tuner 1 to the input of tuner 2. Now each

tuner has access to the same satellite and transponders. While recording, the band and polarity of the recorded program will limit the channel list temporarily for the second tuner because only one tuner can control the LNB for band and polarity.

You can use the Twin configuration, where you connect a single dish with a twin LNB (two LNBs in one house), connection 1 to the first tuner and

connection 2 to the second tuner. Now each tuner has access to the same satellite and transponders. While recording, the band and polarity of the recorded program will not influence the channel list for the second tuner as they operate as two independent receiver-LNB installations.

Y ou can use the T1-T2 configuration where you connect a single dish (aimed at satellite 1) to the first tuner and where you connect another single dish (aimed at satellite 2) to the second tuner. Now each tuner has access to its own satellite and transponders. While recording, the band and polarity of the recorded program will not influence the channel list for the second tuner as they operate as two independent receivers aimed at different satellites.

For connection diagrams and explanation of more advanced installation types, please refer to the appendix of this user guide.

DAILY USE

The explanation above sounds difficult but you have to know a bit about it to understand why sometimes your channel list seems to loose channels. This is not the case, they are temporarily not selectable and therefor they are not shown. So at every moment you will access a channel list that has the channels that are available for watching and recording.

Note that the channels lists in the next examples are fiction and do not necessarily reflect your current situation.

LOOP-THROUGH CONFIGURATION

1) Fixed dish; 2) DiSEqC motorized

NOTE

The amount of channels presented in the channel list can vary depending on the current recording(s) and installation type.

EXAMPLE:

Normally you have access to all the channels that you have searched for. In our example we make use of channel list as shown.

Record a program from ZDF (11954/H). This means that your channel list will be decreased to all the channels that belong to the High band and Horizontal polarity.

Record another program from Fox Kids (11758/H). This means that your channel list will again be decreased to only the channels that belong to the frequencies (TP) 11758/H and 11954/H.

Within these frequencies you can record two more channels and watch another.

PART OF A CHANNEL LIST (1, 2) TWIN CONFIGURATION

4) Single dish - Twin LNB

NOTE

The amount of channels presented in the channel list can vary depending on the current recording(s) and installation type.

EXAMPLE:

Normally you have access to all the channels that you have searched for. In our example we make use of channel list as shown.

Record a program from ARD (11837/H). This means that one tuner is limited to all the channels that belong to this frequency. Note that the complete channel list is still present.

Record another program from SAT.1A (12051/V). This means that your channel list will be decreased to only the channels that belong to the frequencies (TP) 11837/H and 12051/V.

Within these frequencies you can record two more channels and watch another.

Aspect ratio We refer to aspect ratios as 4:3 or 16:9. These

numbers describe the screen format in width and height of the picture

CI-module/CAM Both names are used for these modules. These

modules are PCMCIA cards with a slot in which you can insert a smartcard.

Common Interface A DVB standard which defines the software and

hardware requirements for condition access systems.

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 is a combination of the three

basic elements of a video picture (color, brightness, and synchronization) into a single cable with two wires in it as used in SCART and RCA (Video) connections.

Descrambling Descrambling means decoding the satellite

signal or recording to allow you to watch the service to which you have subscribed.

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.

DiSEqC 1.0 A standard used for switching devices to switch

between LNBs or dishes. With this type of switch (also committed DiSEqC switch) you are li mi te d to the use of 4 LNBs or dishes.

DiSEqC 1.1 A standard used for switching devices to switch

between LNBs or dishes. With this type of switch (also uncommitted DiSEqC switch) you are limited to the use of 16 LNBs or dishes.

Page 56

Glossary

DiSEqC1.2 A standard used for motorized dishes. In this

kind of installations you only need to connect the motor/LNB with a suitable coaxial cable. So the motor control signals and the RF signals run through one cable.

EPG A ele ctronic program guid e 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 service provider.

Horizontal In the satellite industry, horizontal is used to

indicate the direction in which the received signal is polarized. Normally abbreviated as H.

Letterbox This is probably the best way to watch a movie

as it keeps the original screen size. This format shows the full picture, in the center of your TV screen. Depending on your TV and program you will see black bars above and below, left and right of the picture, or just full screen if the program matches your screen size.

LNB A device behind the feedhorn which processes

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

Loop-though Loop-through means that you connect a signal

output (LNB, VCR, UHF Antenna) of the first unit to the signal input (LNB, DVD, analog TV) of the other without any 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.

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 introduced to give you the

possibility to ‘Lock’ several functions of the receiver to prevent unauthorized persons (children) to view broadcasts that are not suitable 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 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 much as possible programs into one Frequency band.

RGB RGB (Red. Green, Blue) 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 supports the RS-232 protocol.

Page 4 - 2 EchoStar International Corporation

Glossary

SCART cable A SCART cable is also known as ‘Peritel’ cable

and is commonly used 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 less 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.

Vertical In the sa tellite industry, Vertical is used to

indicate the direction in which the received signal

you view 16:9 programmes the complete screen

is filled without distortion or loss of video. If you view 4:3 programs, you will have black banne rs left and right of the picture.

3. SEARCH MODES

All 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 end of the channel list.

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 channel 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 channel list.

FTA The built-in database is used to only search for

the available Free-To-Air chann els which are then added the end of the 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 FTA channels are coded as Scrambled These channels will then be missed out because of the erroneous code.
