# DiSEqC/LNB/Satellite setup

Use this dialog to change the settings for DiSEqC, LNB and the Satellite you are going to use according to your satellite dish configuration.
Click OK to apply your change and close the window or click Cancel to discard your changes.

## DiSEqC setup

DiSEqC (Digital Satellite Equipment Control) setup is only needed if you have a connection to satellite dish system allowing you to use satellites on different orbital positions that are accessed through one coax antenna cable via DiSEqC switches.

### No DiSEqC

Choose this option if you are directly connected to a satellite dish with only one orbital position.

### Simple DiSEqC

Choose this options when you are connected to a switch with "Tone Burst" control (also known as "Mini-DiSEqC" or "Simple DiSEqC"). You are able to use two LNBs.

### DiSEqC Version 1.0

Select this option if the
is connected to a switch box or multi-switch with DiSEqC control. You can select between four options. The specific settings can be found from the documentation of the DiSEqC switch box or DiSEqC multi-switch, respectively.

## LNB/Satellite position

Depending on your DiSEqC system you have up to four LNBs with different orbital positions and options. They are set with the according check box. Afterwards choose the satellite from the list.

## Reception test

Click on [ ... ] for a reception test and where necessary a setup for the selected satellite.
You can set the frequency, symbol rate and polarization. Your changes will be applied after clicking OK or discarded by clicking Cancel. You can also change the LNB setup.

### Transponder

Choose a transponder. Frequency, symbolrate, polarization, and signal level are update automatically.

### Frequency

Set up the transponder frequency by entering the value in MHz.

### Symbol rate

Set up the symbol rate by entering the value in kS/s. The value is needed that the transponder will be recognized.

### Polarization (H/V)

Set the polarization (horizontal oder vertical).

### Signal level

A status bar indicates the Signal level for the current transponder. To guarantee a flawless reception the level should be as high as possible.

## LNB setup

The transponder frequency of television satellites is usually within the range of 10 GHz or higher. During the transfer of such high frequencies, the absorption losses are excessive in the coax cable and at the antenna in the LNB (Low Noise Block, sometimes also called LNC - Low Noise Converter). Therefore, a conversion to a lower frequency range is necessary: Sat-ZF (950 through 2150 MHz). This is also the incoming frequency range of digital satellite receivers such as your
.

### LOF 1

Local Oscillator Frequency. This indicates what amount of the incoming frequency is transferred. The
needs this value in order to be able to process the actual incoming frequencies. The LOF is imprinted on the LNB. Digital suited universal LNBs have 2 LOFs, one for the Low band (also 11-GHz band) and one for the High band (also 12-GHz band). Switching between the two LOFs takes place by means of a 22-kHz signal. LOF 1 is the local oscillator frequency for the Low band.

### LOF 2

LOF 2 is the local oscillator frequency for the High band. See LOF 1.

### Switch

Indicates, for universal LNBs, the frequency between Low and High band change over (by means of 22-kHz signal).

### Voltage

This enables or disbables LNB power supply. Should always be activated.

### Default

Sets everything back to its default values.

## Land und Region Auswahl

Diese Registerkarte ermöglicht die Auswahl Ihres Landes und Ihrer Region, um einen individuellen Transpondersuchlauf zu ermöglichen. Dieser ist speziell fürIhr Land und Ihre Region angepasst wurden. Falls Ihr Land oder Ihre Region nicht in den Auswahlboxen erscheinen sollten, dann wählen Sie bitte in der Auswahlbox Land die Option Alle Länderund in der Auswahlbox Region die Option Alle Regionen.

## Video

Customize video parameters.

## 16:9

Set default output for 16:9 broadcast. You can choose between:

• 16:9 direct output (anamorphic)
• 16:9 as 4:3 picture (Letter box)
• 16:9 as 4:3 picture (Pan & Scan)

At the beginning of a 16:9 broadcast the option selected above will automatically be selected. There will be a button on the title bar of
where you can switch between the three modes.

## DirectDraw

The options provided here will set video options for your graphics card.
The default setup is Auto. This will select the mode for best viewing quality. Only when there are display problems you should disable the Auto option. The following options are available:

• Overlay provides the best quality. Should always be used if there is not already an other application runnig using Overlay.
• Stretching the TV image up to the screen resolution.
• Inlay displays the image at 800 x 600 pixels with black bars on higher screen resolution.

When using the overlay mode and your graphics card supports the BOB mode you can enable this option to increase display quality for scenes with fast motions.

When enabling Software scaling the DirectDraw Software Scaler will take over image scaling. This is only useful if you have a graphics card with dual-output or a second PCI grapics card and you want to display the movie on your second screen. On single screen comptuers this will defintely lead to a quality loss and is therefore not recommended.

By default
is set to display video according to PAL norm. If you are located in an area with NTSC broadcasts please check this bock.

Hint: Please note that you have to restart in order to make the changes take effect.

## Layout

You can set the layout of
here.

You can enable/disable displaying encrypted programs in your program lists. Furthermore, you can sort the program list alphabetically, and disable the screen saver while
is running.
In case you have noticed problems occuring regarding power saving modes (e.g., when entering resp. returning from standby), please bypass power saving to disable all energy-saving activities while
is running.
If your version of
supports multiple languages you can choose the according one. If the box Shutdown the PC by close the application is checked, the PC will automatically shutdown after
is closed. Durch die Option Nutze neue Aufnahme-Verzeichnisstruktur werden im Aufnahmepfad Verzeichnisse mit dem Programmnamen erstellt, indem die Aufnahmedateien abgespeichert werden. Der Aufnahmedateiname wird aus dem EPG Informationen (falls verfügbar) generiert. Durch diese Option wird auch verhindert, das die gleiche Aufnahmedatei überschrieben wird.
If there are folders in your layout directory named L1 ... L9, with the according files, you can change
's appearance.
In den Zeitzonen-Einstellungen wird der Zeitunterschied für die EPG-Informationen konfiguriert. Hier kann festgelegt werden ob der Zeitunterschied von der Windowszeit Zone genutzt oder selbst festgelegt werden soll.

Hint: Note that you have to restart in order to make some changes take effect.

## Recording options

This tab allows you to change the recording parameters.

You can choose between different formats for your recorded files:
