2. TERMINOLOGY
CI-module/CAM Both names are used for these modules. These modules are PCMCIA
cards with a slot in which you can insert a smart card.
Common Interface A DVB standard which defines the software and hardware requirements
for condition access systems.

access to certain services, programs and events like Pay TV.
CVBS Composite video is a combination of the three basic elements of a video
picture (color, brightness, and synchronization) into a single cable with
two wires in it as used in SCART and RCA (Video) connections.
DiSEqC A standard through which it is possible to let a DiSEqC compatible
receiver send a signal over the RF cable to a switching device to switch
between different LNBs or dishes. DiSEqC uses the 0/22kHz signal to
control the switching device.
EPG A electronic program guide that comes with a broadcast. Note that every
station fills the EPG differently or not, so differences in the EPG are not
necessarily receiver errors.
FEC Is an invisible part of a broadcast that can correct possible errors in the
reception of the digital terrestrial signal.
Fixed A dish antenna that is pointed at one particular satellite.
Frequency band A range of frequencies which are dedicate to a certain usage. In the
satellite area, known bands are the C/Ku-band.
FTA An unscrambled broadcast which you can view without additional
payments to a service provider.
Horizontal In the satellite industry, horizontal is used to indicate the direction in
which the received signal is polarized. Normally abbreviated as H.
LNB A device behind the feedhorn which processes the signal into a format
which is understood by the receiver for further processing.
NVOD Near Video On Demand - Multi channel system broadcasting many
copies of a film with staggered start times so a complete film is always
available to a viewer with a short waiting period.
Network With respect to the receiver, a network (also known as a bouquet) is a
set of programs that is offered by a single service provider.
