Dvb-T (Terrestrial Tv) Optional - Ten-Haaft D5000 Operating Instructions Manual

DVB-T (terrestrial TV) optional

In large areas of Europe, terrestrial analogue TV has been replaced by a digital tech-
nology called DVB-T. Just like satellite TV, the reception of DVB-T also requires a
receiver (also called „set-top box"). As an option, your digital CI receiver is equipped
with this additional receiver and can hence include DVB-T channels in the channel
list for playback. This requires a separate DVB-T antenna to be connected to the
corresponding antenna port.
We recommend the usage of a so-called active antenna with integrated amplifi er
for extended range. The power supply required by the active antenna is provided by
the digital CI receiver. To activate the power supply, follow the path Menu , Main
menu , Edit Settings , Reception and set the option „5-V antenna supply" to „On".
Remember to save the changed setting.
Different frequencies are used for terrestrial TV in the different regions. It is hence
required to search for DVB-T channels whenever the location is changed (even
within one country). Each region has its own TV stations. A channel list including all
channels of all regions would hence be excessive. Therefore, it is useful to inclu-
de only the channels in the channel list that can actually be received at a given
location. To facilitate this, your digital CI receiver is equipped with a special mobile
search for DVB-T channels. To start this search, press the yellow key.
Upon confi rming the search with OK, all previous and not applicable DVB-T chan-
nels will be deleted and a new DVB-T search is started.
