5.2.2 RAPS Start
Your receiver is equipped with RAPS. RAPS means Receiver Automatic
Programming System. RAPS can automatically update the channel lists of
your receiver.
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 MX Flat HD automatically performs such programming work.
The window RAPS Automatic Installation is the second window of the
installation process.
smart MX Flat HD 19
Basic Operation
whilst the
countdown of RAPS installation is
running (and also at a later point in
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.
You can cancel RAPS installation by
pressing the key EXIT
time during installation).
The then displayed channel list is a preprogrammed factory list. However,
such list is not updated via satellite due to cancelled RAPS installation!
The respective up-to-date RAPS lists are available via the satellite Astra
19.2°. Correspondingly, RAPS can only be used within the footprint of the
satellite Astra 19.2°; furthermore, your system should be suitable for digital
Astra receiving.

8.1 About Unicable
The HDTV receiver smart MX Flat HD 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
