34 Special Technical Three items are required for digital satellite receiving: A satellite antenna, the accompanying digital receiver and the coaxial cable. INFODIGITAL December 2008 The DigitalSat advantage: Among all the digital broadcast transmission standards, the digital satellite television DVB-S has the most advantages for viewers: The digital and free-to-view programme selection via satellite is unrivalled. It means the programmes reach the viewer with strikingly sharp images and crystal clear sound, and now, occasionally, already in the new HDTV format, including matchless depth of detail and Dolby digital surround sound. Moreover, DigitalSat also offers a wide choice of digital side services, which render the use of digital television via satellite even easier and more convenient. This includes, e.g. the TechniSat DigiButler Service EPG, a digital editorially selected pro- It‘s so easy from gramme information service, which can be received via ASTRA 19.2°East. Services such as the TechniSat Techni- Matic utilise the transmission capacities via the integrated OS software of the TechniSat receiver continually based on the current cutting-edge of product development. In sum, there are more and more broadcasters offering HD format programmes. They represent the start of a new digital journey. All those who have been amazed by the pinsharp HD images, which are often accompanied by matchless surround sound, e.g. viewing the Olympics or a documentary on one of the new and large LCD screens is already aware of where the journey is leading.
to make the leap analogue to digital! Economical switchover to DigitalSat The access to digital satellite broadcasting is also good value and can often be problem-free. The modest one-off purchase costs are directly comparable to VAT and a clear plus point when compared to watching TV via satellite: A top quality complete system, with satellite dishes, a digital receiver and the required cables is already available for around 180 euros. And this only applies when the household does not already have an old satellite system to hand. In the latter case, the old parabolic antenna can usually be reused without any problems. This means complex new cabling systems are also generally not necessary, which reduces the costs required for the switchover to receiving DigitalSat even further as a result. Expensive cable charges often unnecessary In view of the continually climbing costs for leasers and house-owners to view analogue and digital cable, the switchover to satellite receiving is often of benefit to all parties concerned. Since the costs of the retrofitting to digital satellite receiving equipment are limited to the initial basic outlay, the costs of a satellite system are balanced out by the inclusion of the yearly cable costs incurred, possibly very swiftly. Moreover, the standard set of programmes provided via cable rarely exceeds a total of 60, regardless of whether it is analogue or digital broadcasts. Retrofitting of existing receiving units Analogue systems for receiving satellite broadcasts can usually be retrofitted problem-free with their own intrinsic energy. For anyone who is unsure whether their own satellite system is suited for digital receiving or not, it is worth contacting a specialist for advice. The retrofitting only requires the exchange of two parts: First the analogue satellite receiver (also known as the receiver or set-top box) and also the LNB (Low Noise Block Converter), which, from a technical perspective, represents the actual receiving unit for the transmission of radio waves from the orbit. We will cover the selection of a suitable satellite receiver in a moment, but what does the mysterious acronym LNB actually stand for? The LNB represents the receiving section of the parabolic antenna. It is located in front of the satellite dish and mounted on a small extension arm. This is also a piece to be exchanged, and then to reconnect the cable/s leading from there to the receiving unit (receiver). Since the connection of the cable is usually made via the conventional F-plug, which is also included on the receiver itself, the procedure can usually be INFODIGITAL December 2008 35
