RECEIVER DOWNLOADS
| Autoroll function and fixes |
The autoroll function automatically inputs the latest DN and Bev keys into your receiver whenever they change....its a function that is added to all bins, but your receiver needs U to tell it to accept this feature, by doing a few specific simple steps.. ......this rolling and inputting of new keys process may take up to 1 hour and many will see "waiting for picture message"...BE Patient!.....
Ocassionally DN and Bev will "morph" keys when changing the akeys...by this "morphing", DN and Bev fake like they are sending new fake keys, which your receiver will sometimes not understand and will try to change to these non existent "fake" keys and keep continoulsy for hours keep rolling..
To remedy this continous autoroll problem, if U KNOW U have the correct keys (double/triple check), then U must shut OFF the Autorolls...leave keycode On...manually input the latest keys...and then reset the receiver by back switch (turn OFF for 3-4 minutes, then back ON)...if U do NOT have a BACK switch, then UNPLUG receiver for a of couple minutes..

| Other Benefits of digital TV |
There are benefits to digital TV other than the obvious ones of improved picture and sound quality.
Multicasting Just as a DVD can contain several different programs on a single disc, so can a DTV broadcast contain several TV programs on the same channel. This technique is called multicasting, and it allows the broadcaster to serve several different audiences at the same time. Or a cable system operator can use channel space more efficiently by carrying multiple digital cable programs on one channel.
Here’s a real-world example. A local TV station elects to send out three DTV programs. The first program offers HDTV shows and sports, while the second offers SD versions of the same programming. Finally, a third program carries continuous local weather information. Your digital TV set-top receiver or integrated TV will automatically find all of these programs for you and identify each with a unique channel number.
In this case, the first program (HDTV) would appear as channel 6-1. The second program would come up as channel 6-2, and the 24/7 weather programming would show up as 6-3.
The digital TV or external set-top receiver knows how many of these TV programs are on each channel by reading the digital program data packets. For a better understanding of how this works, think of the TV channel as a “digital shoebox.”
Multicasting allows you to choose from up to four images on the same channel.
Datacasting Another benefit of digital TV is datacasting. The broadcaster sends out data separate from any TV programs. That data could be anything from prices and delivery information on a home shopping channel to interactive text and graphics on an educational channel.
In the cable world, this process is used to order video-on-demand (VOD) programs. It could also be used to provide high-speed Internet access to the user, with a slower connection going back to the broadcaster or satellite operator.
Datacasting allows broadcasters to supplement a TV program with information screens similar to Web pages.
Digital AudioJust as a DVD will offer multiple soundtracks, you’ll find that many digital TV broadcasts let you listen in single-channel (mono), two-channel (stereo), or even surround-sound audio modes such as Dolby Digital 5.1. The latter, (DD 5.1 as it is called in industry shorthand) requires four speakers for surround sound effects, a center speaker for dialogue, and a sub-woofer for bass effects. There is provision for the mono audio track to be broadcast in multiple languages but that feature is not widely used at present.
With such a setup, you will feel more like you’re in a movie theater than at home watching TV programs. Surround sound is particularly effective with live sporting events such as auto racing, football, basketball, baseball, hockey, and soccer. Add in widescreen pictures and high definition, and you have a truly immersive TV viewing experience!

| What is the difference between LNB and LNBF? |
| In the early days of C band, the two most critical components of a satellite system were the downconverter and the LNA, or Low Noise Amplifier. The next generation of systems went from the single conversion downconverters to block downconversion. The LNA and block converter were joined either by a piece of low loss coax or an "N connector" coupler. A way to counter the loss between the LNA and the downconverter led to the joining of those two devices, called a Low Noise Block converter (LNB). A waveguide is a metal channel that "guides" the signal from the opening at the mouth of the feedhorn to the pickup probes in the throat of the LNB. Just like coax, waveguides can be lossy, so a way was developed to counter this loss by joining the LNB together with the feedhorn into a single unit. This is what we know today as an LNBF, or Low Noise Block converter Feed. |
