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.
