Introduction
The TF 4400 PVRt digital receiver is fully compliant with the
international Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB) standard, and
thus is able to receive digital broadcasts of that standard. For
its operation you need an antenna, which must be installed
appropriately.
NOTE
In general we equate a channel with a frequency. Unlike ana-
logue broadcasts, however, digital broadcasts are not all as-
signed to their own frequencies; instead, multiple television
broadcasts are transmitted through a single frequency. The fre-
quency in digital broadcasting is usually called transponder. To
reduce confusion in this manual, the word
service
is preferably
used than
channel
as a term to indicate one television or radio
broadcast.
1.1 Features
The TF 4400 PVRt digital receiver has the following features:
• Can store up to 2000 television and radio services.
2 Introduction
•
You can create favourite lists of your favourite services.
•
You can view information about the current television or
radio programme.
•
Has an electronic programme guide that provides an
overview of scheduled programmes.
•
You can record one service while you are currently watch-
ing another.
•
The large storage capacity of the hard disk drive allows
you to record up to about 60 hours of television —in case
of 250 gigabytes— in excellent picture and sound quality.
•
Time shift is a special technical feature available on the TF
4400 PVRt. You can pause the programme you are watch-
ing and resume it again at a later time. Then you can
quickly go to whatever part of the current programme by
fast foward or backward search.
1.2 Controlling the digital receiver
You can operate the digital receiver with the remote control
and the buttons on the front panel.
NOTE
When the digital receiver is off but plugged into a wall outlet,
we say that it is in standby mode; on the other hand, when it is
on, it is in operation mode. Even when you are not using the
digital receiver, you should keep it plugged into a wall outlet
to be in standby mode so that it can run timer events at any
time.
