Dish Network DVR-7000 manual Explanation of the Search Modes, Smart Card

Section 8	Glossary
Smart Card		A card that contains a ‘smart’ code and is used to de-scramble
		encrypted broadcasts when placed in a decoder or receiver
		with a built-in decoder.
SMATV		A satellite master antenna TV system is a system which
		shares the reception resources and is intended for the
		distribution of TV and radio signals to the user in one ore more
		buildings.
Stream		The signal which is received from the transponder which
		contains the together with the video signal, additional
		information that the receiver needs in order to process the
		received signal correctly.
Symbol rate		Invisible information which tells the receiver at which speed
		(rate) the transponder sends the digital information (symbols).
		The receiver must be able to handle the symbol rate to
		process the signal correctly into a correct image.
Transponder		Equipment inside a satellite responsible for receiving a single
		uplinked channel and rebroadcasting it back to Earth.
Vertical		In the satellite industry, vertical is used to indicate the direction
		in which the received signal is polarized. Normally you will find
		that it is abbreviated as V.

3.EXPLANATION OF THE SEARCH MODES

In the various menu pages you can make a selection from various search modes. The search mode gives the possibility to scan a satellite or transponder in a particular manner. The search modes are identified as:

All	In this mode the built-in database is used to select the available transponders.
	The digital and analog channels that belong to these transponders are
	searched for and added to the all channel list.
FTA	In this mode the built-in database is used to only search for the available
	FTA channels which are then added to the all channel list. In the real world it
	seems that the service providers do not always accurately code their channels
	with a scrambled or FTA code. For this reason you may find that some
	searched channels are scrambled. Also there is a possibility that scrambled
	channels are coded as FTA. These channels will then be missed out because
	of the erroneous code.
Network	In this mode the built-in database or information from the received stream is
	used to search for the transponders that are included with the currently
	received network. The digital channels that belong to this network are
	searched for and added to the all channel list.
TP	In this mode the built-in database or information from the received stream is
	used to search for or scan in the selected transponder. The digital and/or
	analog channels that belong to this transponder only are searched for or
	scanned in and added to the all channel list.
Digital	In this mode the built-in database is used to search for the available digital
	channels. The digital channels are then added to the all channel list. The digital
	channels are shown as white channel names for easy recognition.
Analog	In this mode the built-in database is used to add the analog channels to the all
	channel list. The analog channels are shown as black channel names for easy
	recognition.
Digital IF	In this mode the currently received satellite is scanned for digital channels. The
	digital channels, within the tuner bandwidth and selected symbol rates are
	scanned in and added to the all channel list.
Analog IF	In this mode the currently received satellite is scanned for analog channels.
	The analog channels within the tuner bandwidth are scanned in and added to
	the all channel list.
Update	In this mode the built-in database is used to search for the available digital
	channels. Then all new channels are added to the all channel list.
None	Transponders on the selected satellite are not searched for.
