DVB-T (terrestrial TV, optional)
In large areas of Europe, conventional terrestrial analogue TV has been
replaced by a digital technology called DVB-T. Just like satellite TV, the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 amplifier 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 Æ Main
menu Æ Edit Settings Æ Reception and set the option "5-V antenna
supply" to "On". Remember to save the changed setting (see page 36).
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 include 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
confirming the search with OK, all previous and not applicable DVB-T
channels will be deleted and a new DVB-T search is started. Please refer
to the information in section on page 38.
