Introduction
The TF 5000 PVRt digital receiver is fully compliant with the
international Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB) standard, and
can receive digital broadcasts. For its operation, you need an
antenna, which must be installed appropriately.
NOTE
In general we equate a channel with a frequency. How-
ever, unlike analogue broadcasts, digital broadcasts are not
all assigned to their own frequencies; instead, multiple tele-
vision broadcasts are transmitted through a single frequency.
The frequency in digital broadcasting is usually called trans-
ponder. To reduce confusion in this manual, the word service
is preferably used than channel as a term to indicate one tele-
vision or radio broadcast.
1.1 Features
The TF 5000 PVRt digital receiver has the following features:
• Can store up to 2000 television and radio services.
2 Introduction
• You can make a favourite list with your favourite ser-
vices.
• You can view information about the current television
or radio programme.
• Has an electronic programme guide that provides an
overview of programme schedules for next few hours.
• You can update the firmware of the digital receiver to
the latest version, which will be provided by the manu-
facturer.
• You can record one broadcasting service while you are
currently watching another.
• The large storage capacity of the built-in hard disk drive
allows you to record up to 80 hours of programme —in
case of 160 gigabytes— in excellent picture and sound
quality.
• Time shift is a special technical feature available on the
TF 5000 PVRt. You can pause the programme you are
watching and resume it again at a later time. Then
you can quickly go to whatever part of the current pro-
gramme by fast foward and rewind search.
1.2 Controlling the digital receiver
The digital receiver can be operated with the remote control
and the buttons on the front panel.
NOTE
When the digital receiver is off but plugged into a wall outlet,
we say that it is in standby mode; on the other hand, when it is
on, it is in operation mode. Even when you are not using the
digital receiver, you should keep it plugged into a wall outlet
to be in standby mode so that it can run timer events at any
time.
