Receiver Features

Our new UFS 821 multifunction satellite receiver has two independent reception and signal processing circuitries as well as a computer hard disk with a recording capacity of 160 GB.

This 160 GB hard disk enables over 100 hours of TV and radio programmes to be recorded and replayed either simultaneously or time-shifted without quality loss.

The tvtv EPG, which is professionally edited, provides free information on some 60 channels without the need to change programme, even up to a week in advance.

However, the really special attraction of this multi-talented unit lies in the wealth of features offered by the receiver, such as the picture-in- picture (PIP) function, transfer of the MPEG data stream to PC, and import, playback and storage of MP3 files. The JPEG viewer allows you to save your photographs on the hard disk and create a slide show. The alphanumeric display shows channel names and radio data. The multifunction control on the front of the unit matches the modern design of the receiver and enables the receiver to be operated manually.

The receiver operating system is based on LINUX and offers additional convenient functions.

The UFS 821 has two separate tuners for simultaneous reception of two channels, and a hard disk for recording and playback.

Depending on constellation, you can

•view one programme and record another to hard disk,

•play back one recording from the hard disk and record one programme to hard disk, or

•record two programmes to hard disk and play back one recording from the hard disk, or

•record two programmes to hard disk and view a programme from one of the programme packages being received.

To take advantage of all these opportunities, complex operating procedures are necessary. You should therefore read this operating manual thoroughly.
