Introduction
The TBF - 7110 digital receiver is fully compliant with the international Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB) standard, and thus
is able to receive digital broadcasts of that standard.
For its operation you need an antenna, which must be installed
appropriately.
NOTE
In general we equate a channel with a frequency. However,
unlike analogue broadcasts, digital broadcasts are not all assigned to their own frequencies; instead, multiple television
broadcasts are transmitted through a single frequency. The frequency in digital broadcasting is usually called transponder. To
reduce confusion in this manual, the word
service
is preferably
used than
channel
as a term to indicate one television or radio
broadcast.
1.1 Features
The TBF - 7110 digital receiver has the following features:
2 Introduction
• Supports the Australian Freeview Phase 1.
• Can store up to 2000 television and radio services.
• Can create favourite lists of your favourite services.
•
Can view information about the current television or
radio programme.
•
Has an electronic programme guide that provides an
overview of scheduled programmes.
1.2 Controlling the digital receiver
You can operate the digital receiver with the remote control or
the buttons on the front panel.
NOTE
When the digital receiver is off but plugged into a wall outlet,
we say that it is in standby mode; on the other hand, when it is
on, it is in operation mode. Even when you are not using the
digital receiver, you should keep it plugged into a wall outlet
to be in standby mode so that it can run timer events at any
time.
1.2 Controlling the digital receiver 3
