Glossary

The following is a list of terms used in this manual. There is also a glossary contained within the Assistance menu of your DSS® system.

Access Card

Identifies you to the DSS® service providers and is required for your DSS® system to work. Do not remove the access card except when a new card has been issued to replace the original.

Alternate Audio

Refers to the different audio channels that may be broadcast in conjunction with a video program. A foreign language translation is an example.

Ant Button

Remote control buttons that toggles the input signal to your TV from the antenna or cable signals to the satellite signal. Similar in function to that of TV/VCR buttons on some VCRs and remote controls.

Attractions

Previews of special programs broadcast by your program provider.

Azimuth

Refers to the left-to-right positioning of your DSS® dish. When you enter your zip code (or latitude and longitude), the display screen provides the number corresponding to an azimuth setting for your location.

DSS® Receiver

Receives, processes, and converts the digitally compressed satellite signals into audio and video.

Elevation

Refers to the up and down positioning of your DSS® dish. When you enter your zip code (or latitude and longitude), the display screen provides the number corresponding to the elevation setting for your location.

Limits

There are three kinds of limits. The Ratings Limit allows you to control program viewing of rated programs by ratings level. The Spending Limit controls spending on a cost-per-program basis. The Parent Approved channel list allows you to select which channels can be viewed when the system is locked.

Locks

The means of restricting access to certain features of the DSS® system. The lock is controlled by a 4-digit password. The closed or open lock icon in the channel marker indicates whether your system is locked or unlocked.

Mailbox

Stores incoming electronic messages sent to you by your program providers. The Mailbox is accessed through the on-screen menu system, and can store up to ten messages of forty characters each.
