mit neighbouring programmes with opposite polarisation (horizontal and vertical or laevorotatory and dextrorotatory). In order to receive the two polarisation planes either two sin- gle LNCs or one V/H LNC are required.

Satellite:

Description of the satellite, usually a combination of the name

with the orbital position,

 

ASTRA

19° East

EUTELSAT

13° East

Satellite receiver:

 

The signals received and converted by the LNC cannot be processed by the television set. The signals are processed in the satellite receiver so that modified audio and video (AV) signals are available at the receiver outputs that can then be processed by the television set.

SCART:

A standard plug-in connection used in satellite receivers, video recorders, television sets and other home electronics equipment to transmit audio (sound) and video (picture) sig- nals (AV).

Software update:

Digital television is a new medium that provides improved picture and sound quality as well as the option of providing interactive services. These services are continually being developed and improved by programme providers. To utilise these services it may be necessary to update the software of the digital receiver occasionally.

Transponder:

Located on the satellite, used to process one or more pro- grammes. In other words, it receives the signal from the ground station, amplifies the signal and transmits it back to earth.

Universal LNC:

Used to receive the FFS range (10,70 - 11,70 GHz), BBS (11,70 - 12,50 GHz) and FFS High Band (12,50 - 12,75 GHz). This 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

Service voltage:

LNCs are supplied with power by means of the coaxial cable, to achieve this the receiver supples either 14 or 18 volt power

Interim frequency:

The frequency range broadcast by the satellite cannot be transmitted via a cable. Therefore the LNC converts the sig- nal to the interim frequency range of 950 to 2150 MHz. This makes it possible for the digital receiver to receive and pro- cess the signal.
