Satellite
Description of the satellite, usually consisting of the name and the orbital position,
ASTRA
ASTRA
Satellite receiver
The signals received and implemented by the LNB cannot be processed in the TV set. They
are processed by the satellite receiver so that the audio and video (AV) signals produced at
its outputs can be transmitted to the television set.
SCART
Plug-in connection on television sets, video recorders, satellite receivers and other consumer
electronics appliances, used to transmit audio (sound) and video (picture) signals (AV).
Software update
Digital television is a new medium that provides not only improved picture and sound quality,
but also provides the facility of providing interactive services. These new services are
continually being developed and improved by the service providers. To use these services, it
may therefore be necessary to update the software of the digital receiver.
Timer
Electronic timer for switching the unit on, off and changing the unit over and for starting hard
disc recordings.
Transponder
Takes over the processing of one or more channels on the satellite. That means: Reception
of the data from the ground station, the amplification and re-transmission to earth.
Universal LNB
Designed to receive the ranges FFS (10.70 - 11.70 GHz), BBS (11.70 - 12.50 GHz) and FFS
High Band (12.50 - 12.75 GHz). The entire range is divided into two bands:
Low Band: 10.70-11.80 GHz; LOF 9750 MHz
High Band 11.70 - 12.75 GHz ; LOF 10600 MHz
Power supply
LNBs are supplied with power via the coaxial cable and the receiver provides a voltage of 14
or 18 Volt.
Intermediate frequency
The frequency range transmitted by the satellite cannot be transmitted by cable and is
therefore transformed by the LNB into the intermediate frequency range of 950 to 2150 MHz.
This makes transmission and processing in the digital receiver possible.
