Introduction
The TF 5000 CIP digital receiver is fully compliant with the in-
ternational 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. However,
unlike analog broadcasts, digital broadcasts are not all as-
signed to their own frequencies; instead, multiple television
and radio broadcasts are transmitted through a single fre-
quency. The frequency in digital broadcasting is usually called
transponder. To reduce confusion, the word service is prefer-
ably used than channel as service indicates one television or
radio broadcast in this manual.
1.1 Features

• Supports DiSEqC 1.0, DiSEqC 1.1, DiSEqC 1.2 and US-
