Introduction

The TF 5100 PVRt HDMI digital receiver is fully compliant with

the international Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB) standard,

and can receive digital broadcasts. 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 5100 PVRt HDMI digital receiver has the following fea-

tures:

• Can store up to 2000 television and radio services.

2 Introduction

• You can edit the services list.

• 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 update the ﬁrmware of the digital receiver to the

latest version, provided by the manufacturer.

•

You can record one broadcasting service while you are

currently watching another.

•

The large storage capacity of the built-in 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 5100 PVRt HDMI. You can pause the programme you

are watching and resume it again at a later time. Then

you can quickly go to whatever part of the current pro-

gramme by fast foward and rewind search.

1.2 Controlling the digital receiver

The digital receiver can be operated 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.
