Overview

1.1 Introduction

The TF6000T digital receiver is fully compliant with the in-

ternational digital video broadcasting standard, and can play

digital terrestrial services. To operate it, you need a terrestrial

antenna, which must be installed and directed at the required

terrestrial.

Unlike analogue broadcasting, digital television and radio ser-

vices are not all assigned their own frequencies; instead, sev-

eral television and radio are transmitted by a single transpon-

der.

vices, a selection of television and radio services have already

been programmed for you. You can do service search so that

all the terrestrial services that have since gone on air are avail-

able to you. Of course, you can easily program new services

yourself. You can ﬁnd the current transponder information on

teletext from various broadcasters.

The TF6000T digital receiver has the features as follows:
