CAUTION

To watch Pay Per View programmes, be sure to inform your STB dealer of the STB’s and Smart card’s serial numbers. So that they can pair your STB with your Smart card. Otherwise, you cannot watch the programmes because they are scrambled.

NOTE

When the changed Network Information is sent, Nagravision realizes that the appropriate satellite/cable service information has been changed. And it will re-organize the service information based on the sent Network Information. The message “Network Information updated...” appears on the screen. It is automatically done when changing NIT. The manufacturer can’t change it because it is provided by Nagravision. When the user watches it, the message may suddenly appear during AV playback and simultaneously updating will proceed. (This happens about once a year.) Since this is not an error in operating, do not turn off the power.

Reference

1. Loop Through

If you have another analogue or digital STB and you wish to use the same RF Signal then you can connect it via the loop through. Connect one end of a RF cable to the TV/VCR on the STB and connect the other end to the RF(ANT) on your second STB.

2. Software Upgrade

HUMAX digital set-top box is a highly sophisticated product - incorporating one of the best software applications. Whenever a problem is found with this software or, in fact, extra functions or enhanced applications are added, the software in the equipment has to be upgraded. In order to maintain proper performance of the product, it is essential to have the most up to date software. The latest news and release of software versions may be found at HUMAX website - http://www.humaxdigital.com. It is recommended that users register to HCSA (HUMAX Customer Service Area) and periodically check for the availability of software upgrade. There are three methods to upgrade the software : (a) set-top box to set-top box download (copies the software of the main unit into slave unit); (b) pc to set-top box download (downloads the software directly from pc to the model

requiring upgrade);

decide when and where to release over the air). Over The Air (OTA) is simply another alternative for downloading software versions. However, the manufacturer reserves the right to decide when and where this software upgrade can take place by "beaming" latest software versions over the air.

SUSS (TM) is an official trademark and logo for HUMAX loader software to perform OTA. The software upgrade will only occur under the following circumstances:

1) the equipment should have appropriate loader software;

2) the manufacturer decides to release software downloading;

3) the equipment must be "tuned" properly to the OTAchannel that the manufacturer uses.
