(colour) signals together.
Dolby Digital
An encoding system that digitally compresses up to 5.1
discrete channels of audio (left front, centre, right front,
left surround, right surround) into a single Bitstream. A
low frequency effect (LFE) channel is included providing
the sound needed for special effects.
DVB (Digital Video Broadcasting)
A set of standards that define digital broadcasts using
satellite, cable or terrestrial systems.
EPG (Electronic Program Guide)
An electronic equivalent to a printed television listings
magazine. It is an application used with digital set-top

dish, focusing on satellite signals. A LNB converts signals
received from satellite to a lower frequency and sends
them to a satellite receiver via coaxial cable.

A standard for the transmission of software for
equipment, through a broadcast system. Manufacturers
reserve the right for deciding the release of the software
for their products.
PID (Packet Identifier)
A set of numbers identifying stream packets contained
within a single data stream.
Polarisation
The direction of the electrical and magnetic fields of
a signal. Satellites use both vertical and horizontal
polarisation, meaning that a frequency can be used
twice.
PVR (Personal Video Recorder)
A video recorder that can record and play back programs
directly using the internal hard disk drive(s).
QPSK (Quadrature Phase Shift Keying)
Digital modulation technique in which the carrier phase
can have one of four possible values.
RF (Radio Frequency)
Television signals are modulated onto RF signals and are
then demodulated by the tuner of your TV or STBs.
RGB (Red – Green – Blue)
A technology for transmitting video signals via a cable.
RGB is a system to represent red, green, and blue colours

devices without any conversion to and from analogue,
which could degrade the signal quality.
S-Video (Super-Video)
Sometimes referred to as Y/C video; a technology
for transmitting video signals via a cable. It is a video
signal transmission in which the luminance (brightness)
and the chrominance (colour) signals are transmitted
separately to achieve superior picture clarity.
Transponder
A satellite is divided up in parts called transponders. A
transponder is one distribution section of thes satellite.
Each transponder can be used for distribution of several
