Satellite receiver:
The signals received and converted by the LNB cannot be interpreted by the television set. The satellite receiver further converts these signals in such a way that it feeds audio and video signals (AV) to its output connections in a form that can be used by the television set.
SCART:
Connector plug used for television sets, video recorders, satellite receivers and other appliances in the field of entertainment electronics to transmit Audio and visual signals (AV).
Software update:
Digital television is a new medium. Apart from the improved picture and sound quality, it also provides the facility for interactive services. These services are constantly being developed and improved by providers. To utilise these services, it may become necessary from time to time to update the operating software of the receiver.
Transponder:
This processes one or several programmes within the satellite. That is, reception of data from the ground station, amplification and broadcast of the signal back to earth.
Term used to describe a
Low Band: 10,70 - 11,80 GHz; LOF 9750 MHz High Band 11,70 - 12,75 GHz ; LOF 10600 MHz
Supply voltage:
LNBs receive their power supply via the coaxial cable. To this end the receiver delivers a supply of 14 or 18 Volts
Intermediate frequency:
The frequency range broadcast by satellites cannot be transmitted via a cable. The LNB therefore converts the incoming signal to a signal in the intermediate frequency range of 950 to 2050 MHz. This signal can be transmitted via cable, and can be interpreted by the receiver.
