What is RAPS?
Currently, the satellites Astra 19.2° and 23.5°, Eutelsat Hot Bird 13° East, Eurobird 9°
and Turksat 42° offer a four-digit number of digital TV and radio channels.
At delivery, state-of-the-art satellite receivers have all important channels already
stored. But what happens after that? New and interesting channels are added al-
most weekly, and there are channel changes time and again.
Updating the channel list with a present receiver is not quite easy for most users.
When performing a channel search, invalid data are not deleted, and usually the
new channels are just added at the end of the list; this requires time-consuming
reprogramming of the channel list.
The RAPS system of your SHD5 automatically performs such programming work.
The window
RAPS Automatic Installation is the second window of the installation
process.
Every time you switch off your receiver, RAPS checks whether there are any changes
with the channel lists (RAPS scan). This only takes a few seconds.
In case of changes, the new data are automatically included into the new channel
list (RAPS download) and displayed in a table. If a channel changes the receive pa-
rameters, then this is automatically updated by RAPS. In case of new channels, such
channels are added. If channels are permanently discontinued, then the correspond-
ing channel number is deleted.
However, new channels are not only added, but allocated to logic blocks, corre-
spondingly enabling easier finding. That is why certain areas may remain free. Ex-
ample: For Germany, there is the basic list as well as the areas Third Channels, Info +
Sports, Special Interest, Local TV, as well as News starting at channel number 100
and many Music Channels starting at channel number 123.
You can cancel RAPS installation by press-
ing the key
EXIT
whilst the countdown of
RAPS installation is running (and also at a
later point in time during installation).
The then displayed channel list is a preprogrammed factory list. However, such list is
not updated via satellite due to cancelled RAPS installation!
The respective up-to-date RAPS lists are available via the satellite Astra 19.2°. Corre-
spondingly, RAPS can only be used within the footprint of the satellite Astra 19.2°;
furthermore, your system should be suitable for digital Astra receiving.
