GENERAL INFORMATION
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Receiving digital channels
7
You require a satellite antenna to receive
digital satellite channels (DVB-S).
Your TV supports SCR system (Satellite Chan-
nel Router). If your antenna installation is
equipped with an Single Cable Distribution
multiswitch, all television sets which are con-
nected on this antenna can receive the televi-
sion channels stand-alone.
7
You require a digital roof antenna or indoor
antenna (passive or active indoor antenna
with its own power supply) to receive digital
television channels (DVB-T).
7
If you wish to receive digital television chan-
nels via your cable system (DVB-C), the an-
tenna cable for your cable operator must be
connected to the television set.
7
Unlike analogue broadcasting, not every
channel has its own transmission frequency.
Instead, several channels are grouped into
what are known as bouquets on a regional or
national level. You can find the current trans-
mission information on teletext from various
broadcasters, or by consulting a current TV
guide or the Internet.
7
Various digital television channels from private
broadcasters are encrypted (DVB-S, DVB-T
and DVB-C). Watching these channels and
the recording and playback functions are only
possible with the appropriate CI module and
a SmartCard. Ask your specialist dealer.
The range of channels available from the pub-
lic broadcasting institutions (ARD with EinsEx-
tra, EinsFestival or ZDF with ZDF Info and all
third party broadcasters) are not encrypted
and can be received without a SmartCard.
