Should the parameters of the data channel for the download of software updates be chan-
ged, you can correct them in this menu as described under points 7.7.3 and 7.7.4 (search for
transponders and programmes). Current transponder information can be obtained from your
retailer, or from our homepage in the Internet. Under normal circumstances you should not
change the settings in this menu.
7.8.4 EPG Channel
Your receiver provides the facility of receiving a dedicated data channel with expanded EPG
information via the ASTRA satellite system at 19° East. This enables you to preview pro-
grammes for up to a week in advance. If you do not wish to receive this additional data, or if
it is not available at your location, data reception may be disabled as follows:
>
Press the
OK
key to display the sub-menu
EPG
>
Select the setting
Download activated yes
in order to receive the data channel,
or
Download activated no
in order to disable reception.
The EPG information provided by broadcasters/channels is now only available.
Should the parameters of the data channel used for loading the EPG list have changed, they
can be corrected in this menu as described under points 7.7.3 and 7.7.4 (search for trans-
ponders and programmes). Current transponder information can be obtained from your retai-
ler, or from our homepage in the Internet. Under normal circumstances you should not chan-
ge the settings in this menu.

8 Technical Terms (Glossary)
Antenna cable:
Cable connection between the modulator of the satellite receiver and the antenna input of
the TV set, used as an alternative where no SCART connection is provided.
AV: see SCART
Coaxial cable:
Cable connection between the LNB and the satellite receiver, transmits the signals received
and transmits power supply to the LNBs.
Data compression/MPEG1/MPEG2:
The transmission of an image in accordance with current TV standards (625 lines with a pic-
ture frequency of 50 Hz) results in a digital data volume of 216 Mbit/s. This would require
bandwidths not available in terrestrial or satellite systems. The data volume is thus subjected
to a process of data reduction. MPEG2, which is an expanded development of MPEG1, has
been set in Europe as the worldwide standard for data compression.
Deemphasis:
Making the audio frequency curve conform to the broadcast signal, this is determined by the
transmission parameters of the satellite.
DISEqC:
Digital Satellite Equipment Control - a digital control signal used to control DiSEqC-compa-
tible components of the external unit via the antenna connection.
