CI+ is a further development of the CI standard for decoding encrypted programs. The very
distinctive difference as compared to CI is the limitation of copying from the hard drive as
well as further possibilities granted to the broadcast station. This includes e.g. the inability to
skip advertising. (Source: http://www.digipedia.tv).

,
Basic Operation
What is RAPS?
Currently, the satellites Astra 19.2° and 23.5°, Eutelsat Hot Bird 13° East,
Eurobird 9° and Turksat 42° offer a four-digit number of digital TV and
radio channels.
At delivery, state-of-the-art satellite receivers have all important channels
already stored. But what happens after that? New and interesting channels are added almost weekly, and there are channel changes time and
again.
Updating the channel list with a present receiver is not quite easy for most
users. When performing a channel search, invalid data are not deleted,
and usually the new channels are just added at the end of the list; this
requires time-consuming reprogramming of the channel list.
The RAPS system of your CX20 automatically performs such programming work.
The window RAPS Automatic Installation is the second window of the
installation process.
Every time you switch off your receiver, RAPS checks whether there are
any changes with the channel lists (RAPS scan). This only takes a few
seconds.
In case of changes, the new data are automatically included into the new
channel list (RAPS download) and displayed in a table. If a channel
changes the receive parameters, then this is automatically updated by
RAPS. In case of new channels, such channels are added. If channels are
permanently discontinued, then the corresponding channel number is
deleted.
However, new channels are not only added, but allocated to logic blocks,
correspondingly enabling easier finding. That is why certain areas may
remain free. Example: For Germany, there is the basic list as well as the
areas Third Channels, Info+Sports, Special Interest, Local TV, as well as
News starting at channel number 100 and many Music Channels starting
at channel number 123.

Example: you subscribed not the complete offer of a pay-tv provider, but
only one genre package. Nevertheless, all channels of the pay-tv provider
will appear in the channel list due to the RAPS installation (see section
5.3.8, page 29), where you have to select the pay-tv provider (with its full
range). Therefore, many encrypted channels that are not subscribed are
displayed in the channel list.
Your smart CX20 provides the ability to permanently reduce the list of
programs to free to air and decodable programs. Not decodable programs
are hidden.

Operation in a Unicable System
8 Operation in a Unicable System
8.1 About Unicable
The HDTV receiver smart CX20 allows for changing the receiving mode to
the unicable standard. This makes it possible - depending on the antenna
type - to connect up to eight independent receivers to only one main line.
For this, an own IF channel and a corresponding frequency should be set
for each receiver via the settings menu.
Allocation of channels and frequencies depends on the used LNBs and/or
multi-switches.
The data sheet and the technical documentation of your LNB and/or multiswitch include an allocation table similar to the following table.
8.2 Allocation of IF channels and frequencies
Receiver IF channel Exemp. frequency (MHz) Frequency (MHz)
Receiver 1 1 1284
Receiver 2 2 1400
Receiver 3 3 1516
Receiver 4 4 1632
Receiver 5 5 1748
Receiver 6 6 1864
Receiver 7 7 1980
Receiver 8 8 2096
Enter the frequencies of your receiving system into the
last column of the table so that all relevant information
