Introduction

1.1 Introduction

The TF 5400 PVR Combo 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. However,

unlike analog broadcasts, digital broadcasts are not all as-

signed to their own frequencies; instead, multiple television

and radio broadcasts are transmitted through a single fre-

quency. The frequency in digital broadcasting is usually called

transponder. To reduce confusion, the word service is prefer-

ably used than channel as the term indicating one television

or radio broadcast in this document.

The TF 5400 PVR Combo digital receiver has features as fol-

lows:

• It supports DiSEqC 1.0, DiSEqC 1.1, DiSEqC 1.2 and US-

ALS.

2 Introduction

• It is able to memorize up to 5000 television and radio

services.

• Electronic program guide provides an overview of pro-

gram schedules for next few hours.

• You can edit the service list.

• You can make your favorite list.

• You can view the information of the current television or

radio program.

• You can update the ﬁrmware of the digital receiver to

the latest, which will be provided by the manufacturer.

• The digital receiver features a digital video recorder with

two tuners, with which you can record your choice of

broadcasting services independently of ones you are cur-

rently watching.

• The large storage capacity of the built-in hard disk al-

lows you to record up to 40 hours of material—in case

of 80 gigabytes—in excellent picture and sound quality.

• Time shift is a special technical feature. You can pause

the program you are watching and resume it again at

a later time. You can quickly ﬁnd whatever part of the

current program by backward or forward search.

1.2 Controlling the digital receiver

You can control the digital receiver with the remote control

and the buttons on the front panel.

NOTE

When the digital receiver is off but plugged to a wall outlet,

we say that it is in standby mode; on the other hand, when

it is on, it is in operation mode. You should keep the digital
