PID MPEG-2 transmits the audio and video information in so-called
packages. Each package has an identifier (PID) present which tells
the receiver what to do with the received information. Satellite
receivers use normally four types of PID, these are VPID (Video
PID), APID (Audio PID), Program Clock Reference (PCR PID) and
data PID (EPG).
Parental control A feature which is introduced to give you the possibility to ‘Lock
several functions of the receiver to prevent unauthorized persons
(children) to view broadcasts that are not suitable for them. The
use of the Parental control requires a PIN-code. With this PIN-
code you can change or unlock the locked channels.
Pay-Per-Channel With this feature, the viewer has to pay a certain price per month
(or other period) to receive all programs of a certain channel.
Pay-Per-View Conditional access service where the user is able to buy one
particular program from a particular service provider.
Pay TV With Pay TV, the consumer has to pay for certain programs or
services.
PIN-code The PIN-code or Personal Identification Number is necessary to
make use of the parental lock feature. The PIN-code has four digits
which can be set personally.
Polarity Broadcasts are done in a particular frequency band. To make
maximum use of a frequency band and bring you the maximum
number of programs, the broadcasts are polarized in different
ways to fit as much as possible programs into one frequency band.
Receiver Unit which takes signals from a dish and converts them so they
can appear on radio and TV.
RGB RGB is used to transfer a TV signal in DVD quality. The quality is
superior to SVHS and CVBS.
SAT With respect to the receiver, a satellite is a broadcast station, for

encrypted broadcasts when placed in a decoder or receiver with a
built-in decoder.
Stream The signal which is received from the transponder which contains
the together with the video signal, additional information that the
receiver needs in order to process the received signal correctly.
SVHS SVHS means Super-VHS and is superior to a CVBS signal but
less then a RGB signal. Normally it is a single cable consisting of
four wires because the black/white (luminance) is separated from
the color (chrominance).
Symbol rate Invisible information which tells the receiver at which speed (rate)
the transponder sends the digital information (symbols). The
receiver must be able to handle the Symbol rate to process the
signal correctly into a correct image.
TP Equipment inside a satellite responsible for receiving a single
uplinked channel and rebroadcasting it back to Earth.
