Introduction
The TF 4000 T/TF 4000 COT digital receiver is fully compliant
with the international Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB) standard, and can receive digital broadcasts. For its operation you
need an antenna, which must be installed appropriately.
NOTE
In general we equate a channel with a frequency. Unlike analogue broadcasts, however, 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.

1.2 Controlling the digital receiver
The digital receiver can be operated with the remote control

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

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.
