Receiver
The piece of equipment that controls your access to all network
features and programs.

Radio Frequency.
RF or VHF Connection
Also called modulator connection. A type of connection that
supports good picture quality, and good mono (“non-stereo”)
sound. Usually the easiest and quickest method to wire your
system together.
Satellite Antenna
The piece of equipment that receives the broadcast signal from
the satellites, amplifies it, and transmits it to the recorder. This
refers to the entire antenna assembly, whether it is mounted on
the mast, or on a pole.
S-VIDEO, or Super
Highest quality video connection. If used, the audio
VHS
connections must also be used.
UHF
Ultra-high frequency. Some remote controls use UHF to
control equipment. Some remotes that come with the recorder
use UHF to control the recorder and infra-red (IR) to control
other equipment. UHF signals can travel longer distances than
(IR), and can penetrate objects, making it possible to control
the equipment from other rooms in the building. Some
broadcast TV channels are UHF (typically 14 through 69).
Video Connection
Better quality phono (RCA) video connection. Also called
composite video.
VHF
Very-high frequency. Some broadcast TV channels are VHF
(typically 2 through 13).
