Dear Readers,
Everything is getting smaller and more compact. In this issue were introducing two new entries into the mini receiver class: receivers that are so small you can easily hide them behind your TV yet they come without any loss in user-friendliness or functionality. An additional chapter in this trend towards miniaturization can be seen in another way in those larger true receivers: they are becoming ever more complex and offer ever increasing possibilities. Examples of these complex receivers are two additional models that we are introducing in this issue of TELEsatellite. Receivers that you can ideally use to receive TV channels via the Internet or that can be consistently improved with software updates. Receivers are becoming more and more boxes that can do it all - it only makes sense: as a TV viewer you dont want to be concerned with how the TV channels get to your TVs screen. The result is: receivers should be able to receive all the different variants, whether its transmissions via satellite, via cable, terrestrially or through the Internet. And, of course, they should be able to record all of these programs (PVR). The big challenge for receiver manufacturers is to do all of this and yet make their receivers easier to use. TV viewers still have to decide whether they want to watch TV via satellite or through the Internet; the user menus in the receivers are totally different for satellite TV channels and Internet TV channels. Logically, from a TV viewers point of view, he should be able to put whatever channel he wants in each and every receiver channel memory location; it shouldnt matter if the TV channel is received via satellite, via a terrestrial antenna, via the cable connection or over the Internet. We are only at the early stages of this integration. The different distribution methods still require different user interfaces. This is going to change. The miniaturization will bring together the different methods into one receiver and as a result the operation of the receiver will also become unified. Whats true in the real world for the hardware is also true in the virtual world with the software.

The SCART connector is very widely used in Europe and for many years there have been small satellite receivers that you simply plugged into the SCART connector. But when the SCART connector was developed, there was at that time no HDTV and as a result these little SCART receivers dont measure up to todays requirements. In order to display HD content on a TV, you have to use the HDMI jack. And its exactly this concept that Skyworth has addressed: the Skyworth HS18 is the first mini receiver with an HDMI output. With the HS18 the HDMI cable is a mere 10cm in length and not only that, its incorporated directly into the receiver. This lets the set top box disappear completely behind the TV right next to the HDMI jack. Thanks to the included mounting material, the 100g
18
HS18 can easily be fixed in place so that the tension on the HDMI cable wont be too much. Its small 11 x 7 x 1.7cm size takes up almost no space at all and yet comes with all the different connection capabilities youd expect to find in a modern receiver. This includes, of course, the satellite IF input, a USB 2.0 interface for external storage devices, a port for an RS232 adapter plug, a jack to plug in the external IR receiver as well as a jack for the external 12V power supply. The package also includes a small but handy remote control. The buttons are clearly labeled and provide a comfortable back pressure when pressed. One of the LEDs that is integrated into the infrared receiver shows the current operational status of the box, if its red the receiver is in standby and if its green the receiver is in operation. All in all, we were quite
pleased with the workmanship quality of the Skyworth HS18 and we also liked that its just a little bit larger than a pack of cigarettes. When you turn the receiver on for the first time, youre greeted with the main menu and its six submenus. As usual, we started with the system settings with which you can set up the receiver to your personal requirements. The very fist step is to select the desired OSD language. You can choose from English, French, German, Italian, Spanish Portuguese, Russian, Turkish, Polish, Arabic as well as Farsi. The HS18 works quite well with the available TV equipment in that it supports picture resolutions in 480i, 480p, 576i, 576p, 720p 50Hz, 720p 60 Hz, 1080i 50 Hz, 1080i 60 Hz as well as 1080p 50 Hz and 1080p 60 Hz. Clearly, if you own the HS18, you will be perfectly
prepared for the day when HDTV is transmitted via satellite in 1080p. We also found the two Auto modes quite practical whereby in the first mode the resolution is automatically matched to the incoming satellite signal while the second mode orients the receiver to the resolution of the TV. All of these capabilities are even further enhanced by the automatic time synchronization. Skyworth put some thought into this and doesnt ask the user to enter the local time difference from GMT but rather provides a list of countries and cities to choose from. We found this to be not only more practical but also much more customer-oriented! Other settings possibilities include the ability to individually set the sharpness, contrast and brightness of the video output. Once the Skyworth HS18 has been matched to the

available TV system, the next step would be to set up the correct connection to the satellite antenna. The HS18 supports all of the available DiSEqC protocols, that is, 1.0 for reception of up to four satellites, 1.1 for up to 16 satellites as well as 1.2 and 1.3 for motorized antennas. The list of preprogrammed satellite positions is made up of 46 entries and includes all of the standard European satellites. We were happy to see that the list itself was very upto-date. The transponder list as well as the satellite list can easily be edited so that it really only takes just a few button-pushes on the remote control to add, edit or delete transponder or satellite entries. On the LNB side of things there are a large number of preprogrammed LOF values available for the C-band and the Ku-band; manual LOF entry is not possible. Once the receiver knows exactly what satellites it can receive, the next step involves filling up the channel list. To accomplish this task, there are three search modes available: an automatic channel scan on one satellite, an automatic channel scan on multiple satellites and also a transponder scan. The user will like the ability to limit the automatic channel scan to FTA-only (freeto-air) and also to TV or radio only and to TV and radio. Added to this is the integrated network scan and as a special bonus theres also a BlindScan. The BlindScan feature functioned quite well in our tests and managed to find 1461 TV channels and 516 radio channels on HOTBIRD at 13E in just four minutes. In comparison the automatic channel scan of HOTBIRD at 13E with the help of the preprogrammed transponder data found 1478 TV channels and 522 radio channels in about six minutes. Once the channel list has been filled with hundreds of channels, it would be nice for the user to have a decent channel sorting and editing function; the Skyworth HS18 doesnt disappoint here either. In a clearly and logically designed menu individual channels can be assigned a PIN code, deleted, moved, renamed or moved into one of the 32 freely namable Favorites Lists. It deserves to be mentioned here that if needed all the

channel entries from a single satellite can be deleted at one time; this would save some users a lot of time and aggravation. In general we were quite happy with the quick reaction time of the receiver to remote control commands as well as with the sensitive IR receiver. Both of these
displayed through the Skyworth HS18. For this purpose there are two modes available: a complete overview of a single channel and also a simultaneous display of five channels in a grid format. Both formats are clear-
The new HS18 receiver from Skyworth comes with a fully functional and quite sensitive DVB-S2 tuner. Whether it was weak signals, such as those on BADR at 26E that come in relatively weak here in Austria, or narrow band SCPC signals, the receiver could not be brought out of its rhythm. As a result, the
same transponder. As you would expect with a highquality product, Skyworth also included a time shift function with the HS18 that allows the user to pause a live program and come back to it at a later time without missing a thing. In this way you can answer that telephone call or handle some other unavoidable interrup-
make using the receiver that much easier and can put a smile on the lips of users when theyre working with the receiver such as when sorting the channel list. Once the receiver has been completely set up according to the users requirements, the main menu can be left simply by pushing the Exit button. This takes the receiver to the first channel in the channel list. An informative Info bar appears that displays the title of the current and upcoming programs plus provides information on the availability of teletext, subtitles or EPG data. As long as the programming provider offers EPG data for the next several days, it can be evaluated and
ly organized and offer the user a good overview of the upcoming programs. Since the Skyworth HS18 is a PVR receiver, timer recordings can be set up directly from the EPG. Unfortunately, you can only set up a total of eight timers; considering the number of TV channels that are available today, this number is somewhat small. But this is made up for by the well-arranged channel list that can be easily accessed with a single push of the OK button. The list can be further refined to those channels from individual satellites or from specific groups (provider, CAS). A practical search function with the use of the OSD keyboard is also available to help make finding specific channels much easier.
HS18 had no trouble at all receiving the 12634V transponder on TURKSAT at 42E with a symbol rate of 2.222 MS/sec. We were also surprised at the picture and audio quality of the small HS18. It can be used in an RV with a 24 monitor just as well as with a 50 LCD TV in your living room at home. Even though the HS18 isnt much larger than a pack of cigarettes, it easily becomes a fully featured PVR receiver thanks to its USB 2.0 port and the use of an external storage device. Its capabilities exceed many other mini receivers in that it can record two HD channels simultaneously while showing a third TV channel live. Since the HS18 only has a DVB-S2 tuner, all three channels have to be on the
tion in the middle of your favorite show without missing a beat. The incorporated media player in the HS18 plays back all the prerecorded TV and radio content but is trumped by an MP3 jukebox, a picture viewer and a video player for all of the standard formats (for example, MPEG, VOB, TS, MKV, AVI). This makes the small Skyworth HS18 box a fully-featured multimedia receiver with which you can not only enjoy TV and radio programs, but you can also enjoy listening to your favorite songs. And lets not forget that it can also play the latest video clips from the Internet and lets you present your vacation pictures and videos to all of your friends.

We should also mention that the Skyworth HS18 is one of only a very few digital receivers that we have recently tested that can work with the NTFS data system. This is particularly advantageous because you are no longer restricted by the FAT system which would require another file for anything over 4GB. This makes it easier to edit any recordings and, for example, con-
vert them into a DVD at a later time on your PC. On top of all these features that were just mentioned, the little Skyworth comes with yet even more small but practical features including a dedicated button on the remote control to adjust the video signal resolution as well as an integrated teletext decoder.

can also be easily updated through a USB storage device. And as long as were talking about updates, the next software revision from Skyworth should include the activation of the RJ45 interface and the integrated card reader. All in all, we had a lot of
fun thoroughly testing the Skyworth HS18. Its a sophisticated receiver that is loaded with features all of which are packed into a housing that is only a few centimeters in size. Thanks to its small size it can easily be used anywhere, whether its in your RV or in your living room.

first time an installation wizard pops up on the screen and smoothly runs the user through the following routines: language, location, HDMI output resolution and video aspect ratio. We liked the fact that language selection and location are interlinked, so that the receiver automatically activates the corresponding OSD language after a country has been selected. It goes without saying that the language can be changed at any time so that a Frenchman in London will also be happy, to give just one example. A list of all supported languages can be found in the Technical Data table. We mentioned different HDMI output resolutions in the installation wizard a moment ago. The following modes are available: 576i, 576p, 720p, 1080i as well as 1080p, which makes this DVB-T receiver a perfect choice even for so-called Full HD. Every time this setting is changed a small window pops up asking the user to confirm the selection within 15 seconds, otherwise the receiver will switch back to the previously used format. This might not sound like such a big deal, but not all TVs are 1080p compatible and the wrong selection would create nothing but a black screen. And that means no OSD either to undo the setting. They say a small leak will sink a great ship,
36
but with the Panodic M3601E youll be on the safe side again after 15 seconds. The aspect ratio settings are more or less self-explanatory and considering the fact that video output invariably is via HDMI we take it as a given that virtually all users will go for 16:9. Events broadcast in 4:3 can be presented with bars on both sides or can be zoomed up to cover the entire screen, depending on your personal preferences. The initial installation process is completed with an automatic channel search that in our case took less than 60 seconds for the entire VHF and UHF frequency bands. Even though all major settings are dealt with during the installation routine we do recommend visiting the main menu for a quick look around. It is made up of the following items: Channel List Editing, System Setup, Tools, Game and Rec. Compared to satellite television, the range of DVB-T channels is small by any standard, but still Panodic offers professional channel list management even in its DVB-T receiver. Channels can be sorted alphabetically or according to FTA/encryp-
tion, they can be renamed, deleted or marked as not suitable for children. A total of eight favourites lists can be created so that even in very large families each member will have their own customised channel list. With a small receiver like the Panodic M3601E it may be necessary from time to time to clear the existing channel list and create a new one after the box was used in a different area with different local channel frequencies, for example. There is a dedicated menu item even for that procedure, and we have to say we are truly impressed by so much attention to detail. In System Setup the receivers parameters can be adjusted to make sure it both works with your existing antenna and other equipment in the living room. The manufacturer has even added a neat wizard to help with optimum antenna alignment which is another feature we truly appreciated. Based on a previous channel search it automatically selects one of the detected frequencies and displays easy-to-view signal strength and signal quality bars. This way it is childs play to find the best possible alignment of a mo-
bile DVB-T antenna. In case no previous channel search exists users have to manually select a reference channel for signal analysis. It is in this antenna alignment menu (and only here!) that the 5V power supply for the antenna can be turned on or off. Once the optimum alignment is achieved an automatic or manual channel search can be performed, which can be restricted to free-to-air channels only, if required. The internal clock can be set manually, but of course the time stamp transmitted via DVB-T channels can be used instead. Users only have to select their region and the receiver then automatically determines the correct time zone, i.e. the time difference to GMT. Each time zone is shown together with large cities in that particular zone, so that there is no excuse for not getting the time zone right. Automatic switching between daylight saving and standard time rounds off this very worthwhile menu item. When we opened the channel list editor for the first time we couldnt find any way to rename the eight favourites lists, but when we looked

at System Setup we were all the wiser. As a matter of fact, it is here that Panodic has added a dedicated menu item for doing just that. Plus, it is also possible here to create, display and edit up to eight timer entries as well as to protect menu access and access to certain channels with a PIN. With the Panodic M3601E you need not worry, since it comes with a fully-fledged EPG which shows a chart with the programming of five channels at a time. Using the colour-coded function keys you can scroll through the available information on a day-by-day basis or in twohour increments. Since the M3601E also boasts full PVR functionality it is possible to mark events for recording. Picture this: Youre right in the middle of a suspense movie und just before the murder mystery is solved there is somebody on the phone or at the door. Thankfully, the new Panodic DVB-T box allows for timeshift viewing, so every time somebody or something interrupts your viewing pleasure you can pause the live broadcast and continue from that very scene at a later stage. Whats more, youre not limited in your choice of storage medium and can attach either a USB memory stick, external HDD or even SD memory card to the USB 2.0 port. Manual recording is another feature of this mini receiver which can stand any test, as it allows HDTV recording as well, even though it is not possible to record more than one channel simultaneously. What we truly appreciated, however, was a range of PVR setup options in the main menu which among other things lets you decide whether or not a buffered

TELE-satellite editorial staff are frequently asked what makes a great set-top box, and our answer always stays the same: A cleverly designed and implemented OSD, reliable software and a reasonable user concept. We know that shiny features like an integrated PVR, blind scan or DivX playback always catch our attention and more often than not determine which brand or model we buy, but without a perfect operating system all those features are more or less worthless. The M3601E leaves nothing to be desired, and quite frankly we did not expect anything less from Panodic. A simple touch of the OK button calls up the channel list and an info bar pops up every time we change the channel and displays the current and next event as well as date, time and additional parameters of the currently selected channel. Thats all great and wonderful, but how can you plan a cosy evening in front of the telly without knowing which channel broadcasts the latest blockbuster movie, TV documentary or your favourite sports event?

timeshift recording should be added automatically to a recording that is started manually. If you activate this feature you can save an entire event even though you only pressed the Rec button some time into the event. Furthermore, you can select auto standby, which turns off the receiver after a recording is completed. This particular option will definitely prove its worth in everyday use, but can of course be turned off if not required. The PVR functions are rounded off with MP3 playback, photo presentations on the TV screen as well as playing back VOB, MPEG, TS, MKV and DivX videos downloaded from the Internet. An essential part of our test routine involves analysis of audio and video quality and we can firmly say that the tiny Panodic receiver passed with flying colours. Thanks to its HDMI output it provided excellent video to both our 52-inch plasma and a 22-inch LCD for mobile use. We were truly impressed by this topquality performance, which incidentally also goes for the audio output. The fact that the M3601Es built-in tuner is only DVB-T compatible is a minor drawback, because this means HDTV reception is not possible in regions that have implemented DVB-T2 for HDTV (such as Great Britain, among others). MPEG-4 is only broadcast via DVB-T2 at our test location as well, so we decided to pick up MPEG-4 signals from INTELSAT 904 at 60 East and EUTELSAT W9A at 9 West and then modulated these signals onto a standard DVB-T carrier. Surprise, surprise: All of a sudden we were able to receive some Russian SD channels (from 60 East) plus Fashion One from the United States (from 9 East) in brilliant high-definition quality. This only goes to show that the chipset of the DVB-T receiver is fully HDTV (MPEG4/H.264) compatible, but does not support DVB-T2. If you live in a market that has specified DVB-T with MPEG-4 the M3601E will be perfectly suited to your requirements. A small box like this Panodic receiver lends itself to mobile use, so we also found out how it deals with weak signals a situation we are often faced with when out and about. No matter how weak the signal, and no matter how many artificially inserted error bits (yes, we really added error bits into a DVB-T signal until the data stream became virtually useless for reasonable video!), the software of the box never froze but instead did its job with remarkable steadfastness. Yet, Panodic never stops improving its set-top boxes and will make available firmware updates from time to time

via its website. Those software updates can easily be performed using any USB storage medium. If you think the list of features has already grown too
long for a box of this size, we may have to prove you wrong one last time. The Panodic M3601E comes with two integrated video games (Othello and Sudoku) which might come handy when a

commercial break just drags on for too long. In summary, testing the new Panodic DVB-T receiver was more than just our job. Rather, we truly enjoyed every step of the way. What we discovered was a sophisticat-
ed set-top box offering not only technically mature software but also a very small size. This way it will blend in nicely with the rest of your living room equipment, but will also be a perfect companion while camping or staying at your holiday home.
Experte opinion
Easy to operate DvB-T receiver with userfriendly oSD. The unconventional design
of the remote control requires some getting used to, but then proves it has been developed with users in mind. The ME3601E sports a wide range of useful features. The external IR receiver does not pick up commands easily and must be pointed at very accurately with the remote control. Unfortunately, DvB-T2 is not supported.

all standard common access modules. All this makes the new AMIKO receiver a reasonable choice for pay TV reception as well. The front panel characteristics are rounded off by a USB interface which can be used to attach a USB memory stick, for example, to watch photos or listen to music with the help of the receiver. Thanks to USB connectivity on the front panel there is no need any longer to fiddle around in the back whenever you want to present your holiday photos on the TV screen. Speaking of the back panel: It will please most users no end, since it sports all required connection options and some more, all neatly arranged and demonstrating what makes a top-notch set-top box these days. Obviously, there is an antenna input for each tuner as well as loop-through output, followed by an HDMI output for connecting the receiver to the TV panel, a USB 2.0 interface for an external storage medium to make full use of the boxs PVR features, an RS-232 interface, a total of three RCA jacks for stereo audio and CVBS video, one optical and one digital audio output, an RJ45 Ethernet socket, a mechanical mains switch and last but by no means least a switchable 0/12V output a specification that is hard to come by and will be appreciated all the more by satellite DXers. Altogether, we were highly impressed with the level of workmanship and the range of features offered by the AMIKO receiver. After we had connected the AMIKO STHD-8820 CICXE PVR to our satellite antenna, a DVB-T antenna, our router and a TV display our fingers were itching to flip that mains switch and let the receiver prove its worth. One of the first elements catching our attention was the beautiful and perfectly readable VFD display in the middle of the front panel. It permanently displays the current time in the left section, while the right section of the display provides status information or shows the name of the currently selected channel. A number of small icons light up to indicate the reception mode (DVB-S/S2 or DVBT) or a storage medium attached to the USB interface, among other things. While these icons are too small to be recognisable from a distance, we nonetheless found them to be a useful addition to the brilliant VFD display. AMIKO has decided to do without an installation wizard, which means the first piece of information your TV screen will show is No Channel. No need to worry, though, as now is a good moment to tap into the main menu. It sports a user-friendly design and is based on a logical structure: All main menu items are neatly arranged in the left

column, while the right column shows all corresponding sub-items that belong to any given menu section. We ventured into the Preferences right away, which is required to make sure receiver and TV panel work on common ground. The STHD-8820 CICXE PVR offers video in 576i, 576p, 720p 50Hz, 720p 60Hz, 1080i 50 Hz, 1080i 60Hz as well as 1080p for either 50Hz or 60Hz devices. It goes without saying that we went for maximum quality and chose 1080p after all its a nice move by the manufacturer to provide hardware that can deal natively with 1080p sources. As far as video settings are concerned you can also select how 4:3 material should be displayed on a 16:9 screen (letterbox or pan & scan), as you would expect from any HDTV receiver. In the Preferences section you can select your settings for OSD language, audio, subtitles, EPG and teletext. The receiver comes with a real-time clock (RTC) that can either be set manually, or you can have it pick up the time signal that is transmitted on DVB-T and DVB-S data streams. If you choose the automatic option you have to indicate the time difference between your time zone and GMT so that the receiver can calculate the correct local time. While it is possible to change between standard and daylight saving time, this has to be done manually as the manufacturer has not implemented automatic adjustment. The Preferences section is also the place to go for a range of channel list options and for adjusting contrast, brightness and transparency of the OSD.

They say that looks can be deceiving, so we tried to find out if the receiver can live up to its outside promises. First, its channel list has to be filled with TV and radio channels and off we went to the antenna settings and channel search. Before we proceeded our eyes seemed to be glued to a menu item that read Auto Install. Out of sheer curiosity we called up that function and after a few moments the receiver had found out the precise configuration and DiSEqC setup of our reception installation. And before we knew it a channel search had started on all satellites. Of course you can always choose to do all the work yourself and select Satellite Settings, which allows you to define parameters such as DiSEqC protocol (1.0 for up to four LNBs, 1.1 for up to 16 LNBs, 1.2 and 1.3 for controlling motorised antennas) and LOF values (predefined even for SCR LNBs or free to select). The list of default satellites includes 28 positions, made up of those birds that are most commonly used in Europe. Considering the fact that the AMIKO STHD-8820 CICXE PVR comes with a switchable 12V output we would have expected a more comprehensive list, to be honest, or at least a few positions that are off the beaten track. For the actual channel search, the following options are available: Single Scan, TP Scan, TP Edit, Auto DiSEqC and Auto Scan. Single Scan stands for a search performed across an entire satellite, while TP Scan can be selected if only one transponder needs to be scanned. For both types the scan be restricted to FTA channels, TV, radio or TV and radio. In addition, both search modes can be performed with or without network scan turned on. If you need to adjust the internal transponder list you best select TP Edit which allows you to add, delete or edit individual entries. Auto Scan is
50
TELE-satellite International The Worlds Largest Digital TV Trade Magazine 04-05/2012 www.TELE-satellite.com
21
Karmacoms term for blind scan and will set the hearts of satellite DXers and feed hunters racing. The channel memory holds up to 6000 entries and a Single Scan on HOTBIRD 13E took six minutes and delivered 1487 TV channels and 407 radio stations. The same search performed as blind scan was completed after nine minutes with a result of 1499 TV channels and 408 radio stations. With less than ten minutes for either scan type the receivers performance is above average and does not tax your patience too much. If the exact parameters of a reception setup are not know, Auto DiSEqC is the search method of choice, as it finds out the correct parameters all by itself. We tried out that feature for a number of different setups in our test and can happily confirm that the results were always flawless, even for positions such as BADR 26E at port 3 of our DiSEqC switch. Subscribers of pay TV are schmoozed with the socalled Fast Scan function, which only scans transponders for those signals that are used by a specific pay TV provider. This way your channel list is not filled to the brim with offerings you are not interested in and will never watch anyway. Currently the Fast Scan list includes Cyfra+, Cyfra+ HD, TNK and TNK HD, but in future we expect this list to grow by a number of additional providers. We did like the fact that it is possible with DVB-S/ S2 reception to calculate the exact antenna alignment with the help of a very useful OSD menu item. All you need to provide is your current location as well as your desired satellite position and the receiver will automatically find out the right azimuth and elevation values for you. By its very nature, looking for DVB-T channels is a much quicker affair. Here, too, you can select manual or automatic search, the latter having taken less than one minute for the entire frequency spectrum in our test. It goes without saying that all available channels were found without further ado. If you only want to look for or add new channels to your existing line-up a manual search lets you do that easily and quickly. For indoor antennas without power supply a 5V current can be switched on that is provided to the antenna via the existing coax cable. We could hardly wait for some moving images to appear on screen, but first it is advisable to give the main menu one final look and customise the channel list. To this end the AMIKO STHD8820 CICXE PVR offers a dedicated menu item that can be accessed to move, delete or rename channel entries, to mark individual channels for skipping, or to

create a PIN-protected parental lock for certain channels. Favourites lists can of course be created as well, even though the manufacturer has opted to offer a separate menu item for favourites lists management. While this may sound unusual for some, we feel that its a clever move. Now that all basic parameters are set we can finally say good-bye to the main menu and let the receiver switch to the first channel on the list. As soon as the channel appears an info bar at the bottom of the screen
pops up showing the title of the current and next events plus icons for teletext, encryption, subtitles, HD content and language options, if available. Two bars indicate signal quality and signal strength of the current channel and thus give a quick hint at the current reception situation. A simple touch of the Info button calls up extended event information of the current broadcast, while the red function button retrieves all kinds of technical data for a more professional look at the signal. You may even move the info bar from the bottom to the top of the screen using a special menu item, and this is something we havent seen before and find a rather innovative option. Users can also choose whether the channel list that appears after pressing the OK button is made up of one, two or three columns. A number of additional features can be called up using the colour-coded function keys. The red button changes the content of the channel list to specific groups (all channels, favourites, channels of specific satel-
lites, or alphabetic sorting), individual providers, different CAS systems, HD only or terrestrial channels only. The green button activates the extended electronic program guide for the currently selected channel and the yellow button allows direct editing of channel list entries. Use this feature to quickly rename or block individual channels, to add them to a favourites list or to mark them for skipping. Finally, the blue button can be used to sort all entries according to FTA/CAS, alphabet (A-Z or Z-A) or blocked/ non-blocked channels. If channels provide the relevant information, the AMIKOs EPG is a valuable planning tool for a lazy evening in front of the telly. Press the EPG button and the receiver presents content information for five channels at a time. The red button with the group function we know from channel list management is available here as well and can be used to restrict EPG data to a specific favourites list, for example. The AMIKO STHD-8820 CICXE PVR is able to offer a preview for up to seven days and since it comes with full
36
PVR functionality it is possible to select any event for recording with the yellow function key. While watching TV it is possible to change the language, activate closed captioning or change a NVOD sub-channel on the fly the manufacturer has implemented all these functions with dedicated keys on the remote control. Whats more, one press of a button is also all it takes to call up the satellites or favourites list. If youre looking for a specific channel and only know its name but not its position on the channel list, a fully-functional OSD keyboard can be activated to enter the name or a part of it. Even the video resolution can be changed with a dedicated button on the remote control without having to take a detour to the main menu. Talk about ease of use! The integrated zoom function is a nice gadget, but due to ever decreasing video resolutions in standard definition its not really worth its while. If active, it offers up to 16-fold enlargement, together with a corresponding reduction of video detail, of course. We should want to mention the top-notch teletext decoder of the AMIKO settop box. True, most users these days have high-speed Internet access, smartphones and all sorts of other electronic media channels, but teletext still has not lost any of its appeal as a quick information source while watching TV. The STHD8820 CICXE PVR provides teletext either through its

built-in decoder or creates VBI insertion so that the TV panels decoder can be used instead. Both tuners used by AMIKO left nothing to be desired in our test. Their reception capabilities are brilliant and thus meet the exacting demands Karmacom places on all components. The DVB-S2 tuner can easily deal with weaker signals as well, even when they only hover around the threshold level. When tested with signals from ASTRA 2D at 28.2E or BADR 26E the AMIKO box impressed with flawless reception and processing of channels from those two birds. Carriers with small bandwidths, such as those from TURKSAT 42E, for example, did not pose a problem either, and even RASD TV on INTELSAT 14 45W usually a very bitter pill to swallow came in nicely with the AMIKO STHD-8820 CICXE PVR. It was the same story with DVB-T reception: We used a small indoor antenna without external power supply and had nothing to complain about, even though the incoming signal was extremely
with flying colours. Thanks to 1080p output this AMIKO receiver served up brilliant video to our large-sized LCD and plasma panels, and the digital audio output brought out the best from our home cinema amplifier. Zapping is great fun with extremely fast channel switching times of about one second if two different DVB-S2 transponders are concerned. Channels on the same transponder are available even faster. It doesnt get any better than this. While the AMIKO STHD8820 CICXE PVR does not come with an integrated hard disk it does, however, offer USB 2.0 to hook up an external storage medium in order to make full use of the receivers PVR functions. No matter whether its SD or HD, DVB-S, DVBS2 or DVB-T, the set-top box will record all input signals, even though it can only deal with one recording at a time. Once a recording has begun, it is possible to watch another channel live, but not to record a second channel at the same time. We dont want to sound like were complaining for the sake of it, but given its dual tuner
38
concept we would have liked to see two recordings being possible simultaneously. Time shift viewing, on the other hand, is possible on a second channel, and you can even add the content of the time shift buffer to a recording that is started too late. That means the whole event is recorded, even though you only pressed the REC button some time into the broadcast provided you havent changed channels. This option can be activated in the PVR section of the main menu. A total of eight timer entries can be set to make sure youll never miss your favourite show or movie. Each entry can be marked for single, daily, weekly or monthly recording. This latest AMIKO receiver comes with an interesting Record Scrambled option that can be turned on or off. The reason behind is a persistent problem with PVRs and pay TV. Recordings that are saved with encryption can only be played back until the corresponding provider changes the decryption key on the smart card (which happens at regular intervals). After that, the recording becomes useless. If Record Scrambled is turned off, all pay TV recordings are first decrypted and only then saved on the attached storage medium. You should bear in mind, though, that this way it is not possible to record an encrypted channel and watch another encrypted channel at the same time. We believe that this is a small price to pay for lasting recordings.
error-prone and put a lot of strain on the receivers error correction routines. If we had to do some nit-picking, the only issue we can think of is the lack of DVB-T2 compatibility, which would have added even more shine to this set-top box. Signal output via HDMI as well as optical or coax digital audio passed our test
39
We looked at all PVR functions of the AMIKO STHD8820 CICXE PVR in depth and discovered no problems or flaws. But then again, we would not have expected anything less from that manufacturer. A dedicated overview lists all available recordings, which can be renamed or deleted, if required. It is also possible to simply unplug the storage medium from the receiver, attach it to a PC and create a DVD with recorded events using appropriate software. If TV and radio reception, recording and playback are not enough for you, the receiver comes with an MP3 jukebox, an image viewer and a movie player for MPEG, VOB and TS files downloaded from the Internet. Unfortunately however, the AMIKO set-top box does not support DivX. In this day and age of global communication via the Internet it is only a logical step for an increasing number of manufacturers to add network connectivity to their set-top boxes. Karmacom is no exception and their AMIKO STHD-8820 CICXE PVR comes with both an RJ45 Ethernet socket as well as a WiFi option with an external WiFi dongle that can be connected to the USB port. While you may choose any brand you like for that dongle, you must make sure it comes with a RalinkRT5370 chip, since this is the only chip that is currently compatible with the receiver. Thanks to its integrated DHCP support it will automatically obtain valid IP and DNS addresses from the router, so that users dont need to worry about all those settings. If need be, it is of course possible to enter all parameters manually as well. For the time being AMIKO does not offer a web browser, but has implemented a fully-featured FTP client instead.

cast, and for the information hunters and collectors among you the latest news are downloaded from RSS feeds. The impressive range of features of the AMIKO STHD8820 CICXE PVR is completed by three integrated video games (Snake, Tetris, Othello) which can spice up seemingly unending commercial breaks. The boxs firmware can be updated by using a USB storage medium, with the RS232 interface on the back panel or even more conveniently directly over the Internet. Apart from revised firmware versions the manufacturer also offers new channel and transponder lists for download from time to time. Your personal channel list can also be backed up on an external storage medium and can later be restored to
your receiver or transferred to any other AMIKO receiver. Electronics dealers will love that feature as it allows to them to provide current channel lists to their customers at any time. Environmental awareness has become one of the catchwords of our times, and AMIKO has focussed on the environmental impact of its products as well. In standby mode the AMIKO STHD8820 CICXE PVR consumers less than 0.5W, even though this means the front display stays completely dark and does not even show the time. In addition, the receiver takes some moments to power up from deep standby. If you expect your set-top box to be up and running in a blink, you may select Fake Standby in the menu, which does not save energy, but
keeps the receiver alert for any commands you might throw at it. In case you cant live without the current time on the front display but still want all other functions in standby this can also be adjusted in the main menu, even though the standby power consumption will then increase to 2W. The AMIKO STHD-8820 CICXE PVR sports all features we have come to expect from a modern receiv-
er. Thanks to its two tuners it is capable of processing all DVB-S, DVB-S2 and DVBT channels available where you live. Whats more, this receiver is capable of finding out the antenna configuration all on its own, which adds even more fun when using it. Both tuners have a very low threshold, so you can be sure not to miss a single channel and to get the max out of your antenna equipment.
Expert opinion
very sophisticated and well-conceived receiver targeted to both average users and reception pros. perfectly suited to all current and future HDTv offerings thanks to 1080p video output. Brilliant ease-of-use with logical user interface.
Even though two tuners are available it is not possible to record two events at the same time.

Uncompromising performance
The SPAUN SPAROS SAT HD comes in robust plastic enclosure. Thanks to that, the meter will not get broken even if you treat it without big respect. The enclosure is very handsome and when you attach a strap included in the kit, you can conveniently hang the analyzer on your neck. When opened, the lid can be used as a shade protecting the display from sunlight. Additionally, the internal side of the lid is an excellent place to look for the foiled paper with SPAUNs quick start instructions for this model. SPAROS SAT HD has been equipped with a very clear 4.3 TFT liquid crystal display with a bright backlit. There are 8 buttons and a round tuning knob. As you probably guessed already, it is not a mechanical knob but an array of sensors that can detect your clockwise and anticlockwise finger movements. The three buttons to the left of the knob in the upper row are: ON/OFF switch, Parameter menu (transponder lists) and Setup menu. The lower row is used to choose analyzer modes: Spectrum, Measurement and TV watching. The remaining two buttons to the right of

the knob are: Enter and Escape. Except for the display and the controls, there are two LED indicators: one showing that power is applied to the LNB and the other to indicate that the internal accumulator is being charged. Except for the RF input with
an F type connector, there are: A-type USB port, Mini-B USB port and DC power input jack on the right side of the meter. The USB port can be used to upload either new firmware or new configuration files (with transponder data and antenna setups) prepared on a PC. Of course,

all this is done with a USB memory stick. You can also download the measurement results or screenshots from the meter to the USB stick. In this way, you can process the data later on your PC. The SPAROS SAT HD comes with a USB stick containing the initial configuration files that match those preprogrammed in the meter. More about it later. As expected, a plug type AC/DC adapter is also included in the SAT HD kit. So, how should you start using the SPAROS SAT HD? Here is our advice for a simple fixed antenna setup. Once you have mounted your dish on a pole and attached a LNB to its holder, connect the analyzer to the LNB. After switching the SPAROS SAT HD on, go to Configuration menu and change Sat. remote supply from Off to On or Auto. The latter setting is advised if you do not want to repeat the action every time you switch your analyzer on. The remaining settings in the Configuration menu will be probably OK for most users setting a fixed dish in Europe as they are prepared for a universal Ku-Band LNB. The next step is to switch
the analyzer to spectrum mode (the leftmost button in the bottom row) and change the azimuth and elevation of your dish until you see signal peaks on the display. Fine tune your dish to maximize the peaks. Your antenna is now receiving a satellite but which one? To find it out, press the Spectrum button again. Spectrum disappears and you can see a chart showing signal strength and quality of four transponders of one satellite. Satellite name is shown in the upper part of the window. If your dish is aimed at this satellite, you will see high green quality bars and a merry green smiley icon. If not, the bars indicating signal quality will be low or completely empty and the smiley icon will be sad and red. In such situation, press enter button and use the knob to change satellite. Continue until you find out which satellite your dish is presently directed to. Once you know where your dish is looking at, you know if you need to move it eastward or westward. For example, if you want to receive EUROBIRD 2 on 28.2 East and you have just discovered with SPAROS SAT HD that your dish is currently

Your antenna is directed to HoTBIRD on 13 East. SpARoS managed to lock to all four transponders associated with this satellite. After another button press, the analyzer double chekked its diagnosis by comparing information transmitted in the nIT tables of the transponders (see the pop-up in the foreground). 12. In this menu, you can configure SPAROS to work with almost any reception system. 13. This window is used for setting up meter user interface and managing meter memories and software. 14. All transponders associated with a preprogrammed reception setup (e.g. DiSEqc 1.0 switch and four lnBs) are being measured. The results can be stored in the internal memory and later copied to an external USB Flash memory.

aimed at HOTBIRD 13 East, you know that you should turn it 15 degrees eastward. Switch the analyzer back to spectrum mode (by pressing spectrum button twice) and turn slowly your dish eastward until you see again signal peaks. Adjust azimuth, elevation and tilt for maximum peak height and check which satellite it is. In this
way, after a short while, you will have your dish aimed at EUROBIRD 2 on 28.2 East. Does it end the process? Not exactly. We are sure that after spending money on a signal analyzer, you would like to have each of your dishes set up perfectly. So, it is time to switch to measurement mode now (Measurement button).
Press Enter key when the word Setup is highlighted at the top your screen. This will activate transponder switching. Now turn the knob and find a transponder that gives rather high readings of RF power and C/N ratio. Some installers would start making the final dish adjustment looking at this screen but we suggest to press Meas-
urement button again and display the next window in which among others, MER is shown (the very bottom line). Modulation Error Ratio is the parameter you should maximize. Usually it is both very sensitive to azimuth, elevation and tilt adjustment as well as quite stable. It is our favorite parameter when we fine tune antenna

adjustment. When maximizing MER, you will notice that you are maximizing the other green bars too. And, as a matter of fact, thats all you do to set your dish. The SPAROS SAT HD what we got for this was preprogrammed by SPAUN with the data of a few popular European satellites. SPAUN also added a USB memory stick with the MS Excel configuration files that you can edit, convert to CSV format and upload to the meters internal memory. The analyzer does not accept XLS files directly. SPAUN prepared two spreadsheet files. The first file, called Sat.xls, contains a list of all satellites that you want SPAROS to be able to identify along with the corresponding four transpond-
ers for each of them. The analyzer we got for the test had in its memory as well as in the corresponding file 10 European satellites as in the table below. Four transponders are defined for each satellite (frequency, polarization, DVB-S or S2, symbol rate). As you already know, these transponders are used by the SPAROS SAT HD for satellite identification. If, for example, one of the transponders is switched off and no longer transmits, you need to replace its data with another one which is active. Once you edit the XLS file, you should execute a built-in Excel macro, and a corresponding CSV file will be generated which when stored on the USB stick can be imported to the meter. This is really simple!
And what about the other configuration file? Well, it is a little bit more complex. Except for identifying satellites based on their four transponders, SPAROS SAT HD can measure a larger number of their transponders and show the results in a form of a table. Such table can be stored in memory as well as exported to USB stick for further processing. This feature can be useful to check if the reception system can receive various transponders of different frequencies and polarizations. Some reception systems require DiSEqC commands to switch between satellite and we can order the SPAROS SAT HD to do that by putting the parameters in the second configuration file. It is also an MS Excel file
Satellite name TURKSAT 2 ASTRA 2 ASTRA 3 ASTRA 1 EUTEl W2 HoT BIRD InTl 10 02 ATlAnTIc 3 ATlAnTIc 2 HISpASAT
but it is called SConf.xls. In its first spreadsheet tab, it can contain up to 1000 transponders from as many satellites as you need. On the following twenty tabs, you store configuration data for specific reception systems. So, for example, the list Lst00 can contain the transponders numbers referring only to the transponders from ASTRA 1 (fixed antenna, no DiSEqC commands needed), while the list Lst02 can be dedicated for a 2-satellites setup and contain the transponder numbers from ASTRA 1 and HOTBIRD along with the DiSEqC commands: Position A or Position B. So when the installer has a customer having a popular setup with a monoblock LNB for ASTRA 1 and HOTBIRD, he makes

One of many possible configurations preprogrammed in the meter's internal memory; this exemplary setup is for the ASTRA/ HoTBIRD reception system with a DiSEqc 1.0 switch 17. Another configuration file stores the information about which four transponders of a given satellite should be used when recognizing antenna alignment 18. Spectrum view can be stored and later copied to a USB stick as a graphic file 19. Spectrum view can also be stored as an CSV file containing list of values; after converting it to a spreadsheet file, you can do your own chart 20. Transponders assigned to a preprogrammed reception setup (here: fixed antenna aimed at TURKSAT 42 East) can be saved as BMp graphics... 21or a CSV file that can be opened by any spreadsheet application and processed or charted as needed.

SPAROS SAT HD measure the system with the use of Lst02 configuration. No need to enter transponders data or DiSEqC commands manually the analyzer will know what to do to measure the transponders from two satellites. SConf.xls can contain up to 50 transponders in each configuration list (Lst0 through Lst19). Similarly as Sat.xls, SConf.xls is editable and generates a CSV files for SPAROS when an Excel macro is invoked. But what to do if we want to add more satellites or more transponders is a manual entry the only option? No! You can download from the Internet INI files containing transponder data for every possible satellite. They are available on the pages with satellite charts like for example www.satbeams.com. If you follow the instruction in the user guide, you will
learn how to download the INI files and import them to the Excel spreadsheet. The SPAROS SAT HD can do more than what we described so far. Except for identifying a satellite based on its four transponders, it can read the NIT table and in this way double check identification. The analyzer can measure all parameters of a particular transponder, show its constellation diagrams and decode and display video and audio of FTA channels. It can export the measurement results to CSV as well as BMP files. It can even export spectrum views as graphics (BMP) as well as CSV files. Such CSV file when imported to MS Excel can be used for creating your own charts. At the beginning, we were worried that it would be difficult to operate SAPROS SAT HD because it has few but-
tons. But we discovered that our worries were completely unjustified. Menu structure is very logical and not too deep. And we were especially delighted with the operation of the tunning knob. It was fast and precise at the same time. There is really no need for a numerical keypad with such well designed knob. You can not fully evaluate an analyzer if you do not compare it with competitive instruments. So we did it. We chose two high class, multipurpose analyzers (satellite/ terrestrial/cable) with large graphical displays as our references to which we compared the performance of the SPAROS SAT HD. TURKSAT satellite on 42 East was our test signal source. We used a 90 cm dish which does not give very strong signal from that satellite at our test location in Western Poland.
And thanks to that, we discovered the strongest point of SPAROS SAT HD. It locked without any problem even to very weak signals and as well as signals with very low symbol rates. Despite being apparently more powerful, its competitors were unable to lock to many signals that SPAROS SAT HD processed smoothly. See the attached charts with MER results. MER zero reading means that the meter was unable to lock. The tuner of SPAROS SAT HD is really brilliant! When you compare channel power results, you will see that SPAROS SAT HD is quite close to other meters and its results are rather higher than lower than its competitors. The other charts presents MER readings. Here you can see how many transponders were receivable for the SPAROS SAT HD but not for the other analyzers (zero result in our chart). Please note, that except for TURKSAT transponders, we also included one strong transponder from ASTRA1 (11436 MHz, vertical). With such strong signal, SPAROS measured visibly higher MER what also proves how good and noiseless its tuner is. Initially, we were concerned that the lack of blindscan might be regarded as a drawback. But when we saw that its competitors having the blindscan feature can not lock to many low SR signals, we changed our mind. Taking transponders data from INI files (instead of trying to blindscan them) can be quite a reasonable approach. However, there is one thing SPAUN could improve. If it happens that there is a non-receivable transponder on your list, SPAROS will end up with Sync? results in the transponder list. However, it takes a long while before the SAT HD decides that
68
TELE-satellite International The Worlds Largest Digital TV Trade Magazine 04-05/2012 www.TELE-satellite.com
it is unable to receive such transponder. In our opinion, it tries too long to lock to the signal. Of course, if all transponder are receivable, com-
pleting the measurements of the whole transponder list is quite fast. The SPAUN SPAROS SAT HD is a powerful satellite
meter, which does a perfect job in aligning dishes. We especially liked its highly sensitive tuner, which could lock in to weak signals. An impor-
tant feature, when you are in the process of aligning a dish and keep getting weak signals until you finally found the right focus.

Do not Allow lTE Data Transmissions To Interfere With Your DvB-T/T2 Reception
3GPP LTE wireless high speed data transmissions for mobile phones and data terminals may in some circumstances interfere with regular terrestrial TV reception. Thats because the highest part of the classical terrestrial TV range is today dedicated for LTE rather than DVB-T/T2. As digital TV requires much less bandwidth than analog TV to transmit the same number of TV channels, it became possible to dedicate part of its original frequency range for high speed data transmissions. But because most of the existing antenna installation pass the whole frequency range up to 862 MHz, LTE signals may find their way into your DVB-T/ T2 receivers input. Despite the fact that LTE data is transmitted in a different frequency range than DVB-T/T2 terrestrial signals, if they are strong enough they can interfere with regular TV reception. If LTE signals are strong and you do not use any filter, some intermodulation might take place in your receivers demodulator. Spurious signals created due to intermodulation will manifest themselves as excessive noise degrading the quality of the desired signals. You can easily detect this with an analog signal (unwanted additional white/black dots and audio noise). With a digital receiver you can detect it by measuring signal quality. If signal quality measured by your receiver changes over time, or worse your receiver from time to time looses completely the ability to process video and audio, one of possible causes can be interference created by LTE signals intermodulating with your receivers input. It is very easy to confirm such hypothesis: just connect the SMA 790 and observe if signal quality improves. For the best results, the SPAUN SMF 790 filter should be placed before the first active component of the reception system. An active component is an amplifier, a multiswitch, a receiver or any equipment that requires electric power to operate. In simple installations with no additional components, you connect the filter anywhere between the antenna and the receiver. Probably it will be more practical to put it next to the receiver. In more complex installation, the filter should be inserted before the amplifier or the multiswitch whatever happens first when looking from the antenna side. One filter should be enough for the whole network if only your signal distribution equip-
04-05/2012
ment is well shielded and the connectors are firmly attached to coaxial cable ends. If the antenna has a builtin amplifier, you will have no choice but to connect the filter at the antenna output. The results could be slightly worse because LTE signals will have the opportunity to mix up with terrestrial TV signals in the antenna amplifier and can intermodulate one another. However, such not desired intermodulation should be minimal in well designed amplifiers having high dynamic range. So even if you have an active antenna with a built-in am-

1. The SpAUn SMF 790 has a very sharp roll off at the higher end of the terrestrial/cable frequency range. 2. Up to 792 MHz there is practically no attenuation. 3. At approx. 799 MHz the filter has a 10 dB attenuation. 4. Attenuation increases to 30 dB at approximately 807 MHz. 5. Full 50 dB attenuation is reached at 815 MHz. 6. In accordance with specifications, there is more than 50 dB attenuation at 822 MHz and above
plifier, it will still make sense to connect the SMA filter before the next active component (amplifier, multiswitch, receiver). According to its specifications, it should pass the range from 5 through 790 MHz with minimum attenuation while severely attenuate the frequency band from 822 through 1000 MHz (where LTE signals are transmitted). The range from 790 to 822 MHz is a transition region where attenuation gradually changes from single decibels to over 50 dB. In order to check whether the SMF 790 complies with the published specifications, we used a noise generator and a signal analyzer capable of measuring the signal up to1000 MHz. Perhaps the term noise generator does not sound as a measurement equipment to nonspecialists but in fact it is a very useful device. When combined with a spectrum
76
analyzer it produces nice spectral views that reveal the true frequency characteristics of a filter. As our measurements revealed (and you can see that on the attached screen shots), the SMF 790 starts rolling off at about 792 MHz and reaches its maximum attenuation at 815 MHz. So it is even sharper than the specifications promise. We confirm that it attenuates signals more than 50 dB in the range 815-1000 MHz. We took two additional measurements at -10 dB and -30 dB. As this happened at 799 and 807 MHz, we can calculate that the filter roll-off is: 20 dB per 8 MHz. That is a very steep transfer characteristic what you can evidently see in our screen shots. We can do nothing but praise SPAUN for such excellent performance! It safely blocks the LTE signals from entering your DVB-T/ T2 terrestrial receiver.

Trima x TM-6800+ All the features you need, plus profes sional extras like ASI and spectrum displa y www.TELE -satellite.com/ TELE- satell ite-1205/eng/tr imax. pdf
If we had to give a catchy name to the new Trimax flagship it would be Genie in a Box. Its small, yet can do almost anything you want it to do. The new Trimax signal meter arrived in a stylish box which is kept close with two magnets now thats something new! Once opened we discovered the meter itself, packed in a protective softbag made of nylon, a mains charger, a vehicle charger, an RCA A/V cable as well as a neckstrap. Lets start with the highquality protective bag which we found extremely convenient. Taylor-made for the TM6800+ it can be used to carry the meter on the neck using the available strap. Lateral flaps are available to keep the display readable even in direct sunlight. More often than not signal meters that appear neat and tiny on marketing material turn out to be much bulkier than expected, so that single-hand operation quickly loses much of its appeal. As far as the Trimax6800+ is concerned, however, we can happily confirm that an average sized hand is big enough to hold the meter and use it, too. We know that many installers are not too happy with neckstraps, so this target group in particular will appreciate the meters convenient size. And if that alone does not make your heart beat higher, just have a closer look at the connection options of the new Trimax meter: Apart from the obligatory HF input on the top side of the box, you will also find the A/C socket as well as an ASI connection, a feature that is absolutely unique for signal meters in this segment. Even many top-of-the-range
80
TELE-satellite International The Worlds Largest Digital TV Trade Magazine 04-05/2012 www.TELE-satellite.com
professional meters only offer ASI as an additional option. The bottom side of the device sports a USB interface, an HDMI output, the power socket for external power supply (12V) and a common interface for CAMs with full CI+ compatibility another exclusive feature in this price segment! The CI+ socket is protected by a plastic flap on the back side, which also hides the battery pack which can easily be changed whenever required. Pressing the On button for two seconds powers up the signal meter, and after approximately 15 seconds it is ready to take your commands. The main menu boasts a neat design and we did not even need to consult the manual to find all the functions we were looking for. A total of eight options are available from the main menu: Spectrum analyzer Constellation diagram SAT finder
82
SAT settings Angle calculation Memory functions System configuration USB options In order to perform an initial quick test we hooked the LNB cable from one of our antennas (aligned towards ASTRA 19.2E) to the meter and selected Spectrum analyzer in the main menu. It was only a matter of seconds until the spectrum was created on the display, showing a span of 1250 MHz. In order to speed up spectrum refresh rates the following frequency spans are available: 1250 MHz (full span), 200 MHz, 100 MHz, 50 MHz and 32 MHz. The setting can be changed loop-wise with the F1 function key. When in spectrum mode the arrow buttons of the signal meter take over very useful functions: Using the Up and Down buttons you can scroll along the y-axis which displays the signal level. With the Left and Right buttons, on the other hand,
you can move a marker along the x-axis, which displays the frequency value. With this user concept it is possible at any time to find out the signal level of a selected frequency and to initiate a scan starting from the marked frequency position. This is a very useful feature if you need to align your antenna to a more exotic orbital position: Instead of having to pre-edit the transponder list all you need to do is move the marker to a peaked signal within the displayed spectrum. We truly appreciated the fact that the Trimax TM6800+ locks a signal within a mere second, provided the marker is placed on a valid transponder. Pressing the OK button will start a scan that lists all channels in a matter of seconds a real treat for feed hunters as well! Unfortunately, the spectrum analyzer does not react swiftly enough to allow antenna alignment using the spectrum display only. The
refresh rate simply does not keep up with signal changes. If youre done with the spectrum a simple touch of the Menu button will bring you back to the main menu. We went ahead with the constellation diagram. Before the meter can display that diagram you have to select either a pre-stored channel or the current frequency. In our case the settings list was still empty, which is why we chose the current frequency which we had selected with the marker in the spectrum mode. The constellation diagram can display both QPSK and 8PSK modulations, with the 8PSK modulation being divided up into nine squares rather than eight segments forming a circle. The QPSK modulation is shown correctly with four squares. Constellation diagrams are created rapidly and with a similar performance as in our reference unit. The following important information is shown on the screen: Frequency Symbol rate Polarisation Modulation Satellite name MER C/N BER FEC Two bar diagrams with signal quality and signal level given in percent What did make us stop short was the fact that the display invariably presented identical values for MER and C/N, even though the two parameters should be measured independently. MER stands for Modulation Error Ratio and indicates the relationship between average signal performance and average error performance within a constellation. In other words, the MER value is a figure that correlates with the size of a cloud within a square of the constellation diagram. C/N, on the other hand, is short for Carrier to Noise Ratio and
TELE-satellite International The Worlds Largest Digital TV Trade Magazine 04-05/2012 www.TELE-satellite.com
indicates the transponder performance in relation to background noise. According to Trimax, one of the upcoming firmware updates for the TM6800+ will address and solve that issue. All data gathered from the constellation function can be saved onto a connected USB storage medium by pressing the Point button. If you prefer the data to be stored in the devices internal memory you need to press F4 instead. The constellation diagram can be redrawn at any time with a simple touch of the Up button. After that, press the Menu button once to move back to the frequency/channel option and a second time to call up the main menu again. The next option we tested was the SAT finder function and to this end we hooked one of our 60cm offset antennas to the Trimax meter. That antenna is mounted onto a portable pole and was not aligned to a specific satellite at the time.
We wanted to find out what it takes to perfectly align an antenna with the help of the meter and so we tested two very different scenarios: ASTRA 19.2E as an example for one of Europes most popular and powerful satellites, and HISPASAT 30.0W as an example for a satellite with lots of DVB-S2 transponders and a critical reception situation with a 60cm antenna, particularly when it comes to LNB skew. Using the SAT finder function is childs play, mostly thanks to the pre-installed settings list, which includes at least one transponder for virtually all relevant satellite positions. So in most cases all you have to do is select the desired satellite in the first menu item and you can quickly go about antenna alignment. The signal strength and signal quality bars on the display are easy to read even from a distance, which is an enormous aid in every-
day installation situations. As soon as a signal is locked the bars change their colour from red to green and the meter generates a sound that changes in pitch as the reception quality increases (or decreases). The signal performance is always given in dBV as well. If you prefer to use a different transponder you can either select it from the settings list (if pre-stored) or you can manually key in the required parameters. Once the signal is detected and locked you can initiate a san covering that particular transponder only. It does not take more than a few minutes with the Trimax TM6800+ to find ASTRA 19.2E and HISPASAT 30.0W. Using the pre-defined satellite list you only need to select the corresponding satellite and then choose a Ku band transponder. Next, we started to slowly move the antenna until the meter indicated a hit with green bars and a clearly au-
dible sound. Could we have asked for more? Of course it can always happen that the same transponder configuration is used on two different but neighbouring satellite positions so that it makes sense to call up a channel of the required satellite on the display to do some cross-checking and verification. In case none is available on the channel list we recommend you do a transponder search. It is here that the NIT function of the Trimax TM6800+ comes into play and shows its full worth. As soon as a signal is locked the current satellite name pops up on the display, which means installers know right away which satellite the antenna is pointing to, even if identical transponder data are used in different positions. We should emphasise that the NIT feature comes by no means as standard for most meters and is a valuable aid when it comes to making sure youve hit the right spot. To call up the TV picture on the display you need to be in the main menu and press the Menu button. The meter then switches to playback mode and behaves more or less like any ordinary satellite receiver. Using the Up and Down button you can zap up and down the channel list or you can use the numeric keypad to select a channel number. If you want to access the channel list all you need to do is press the OK button. The currently showing channel stays on the display in a small window and you can swiftly select a channel on the list and switch to that channel. In case youre wondering whether the Left and Right buttons also have a dedicated function in playback mode: Use them to switch between TV and radio reception. There is no option to quickly jump back and forward within the channel list

with its hundreds or potentially thousands of entries, and there are no favourites lists, so be prepared to wisely manage your channel list and stick to the bare essentials unless you are of the severely patient kind. Since it took much less time than expected to align our antenna to the two satellite positions we had some time to spare, so why not have a closer look at the built-in tuner and its threshold capabilities? We pointed our 60cm antenna towards ASTRA 2D and tried to catch BBC HD on transponder 49 (10847 V 23000-8/9 QPSK). According to ASTRA/SES our location in Portugal would require an antenna with at least 120cm for successful reception. Nonetheless, we achieved reliable and stable reception of BBC HD with only half that diameter. Quite frankly, we had no idea how that came about, but it does speak volumes about the reception quality of the Trimax TM6800+ tuner. The fourth menu item of the meter includes a settings editor, which allows to edit the satellite list, define DiSEqC parameters and LNB types for each satellite and start a channel search on an entire satellite or a single transponder. In our opinion a channel search across an entire satellite should be avoided by all means, as it is very tiresome and time-consuming at a later stage to switch between channels on a list that boasts hundreds or thousands of entries, but no favourites options (see above). What does make sense is saving one free-to-air channel per polarisation level and satellite, so that you can quickly and easily verify if your antenna alignment is successful. While such a settings list can of course be compiled on the meter itself, it is a job that takes some time and effort. Luckily, there is an easier way: On its website www. trimaxtec.net the manufacturer provides the Satellite list edit tools for TM6xxx series Meter/Finder.rar file via its Download Center. What you get is a settings editor, which at this stage only comes with an installation wizard in Chinese. But rest assured, all you need to do is click the right button during the installation pro-

cess, and the software itself is in English. Its interesting that the settings list is not transferred to the meter with an RS-232 or USB cable, but using regular files which can be stored on any USB storage medium. DiSEqC options can be accessed through the satellite list menu item. Here you can chose either DiSEqC 1.0/1.1 or DiSEqC 1.2, and we tested how the meter controlled our small motorised setup that moves a 45cm antenna. The available functions include EAST/WEST movement of the antenna, saving of the current position in relation to the active satellite, setting of limits and going to zero position. The current firmware version of the TM6800+ does not allow to specifically enter the saved position in the DiSEqC motor and it is not possible to directly move to saved positions. The next menu item is called Angle calculation and can be used for convenient calculation of Azimuth and elevation values based on the entered geographic position. Its part of our job to never take a manufacturers word for anything, so we doublechecked the calculations for a number of setups and are pleased to say that all results for elevation, Azimuth and polarisation (LNB skew) turned out to be absolutely correct.

We pressed the Menu button once more to call up the main menu and to activate the Memory functions from there. Use this feature to save and retrieve constellation diagrams complete with all corresponding measurement values such as BER, C/N, frequency, symbol rate, FEC and polarisation. Here again it is possible to export data directly onto a connected USB storage medium by pressing the Point button. Back in the main menu we proceeded with having a closer look at System configuration, where settings such as language (English, Spanish, German, Italian, Turkish), TV aspect ratio, time zone or display brightness can be adjusted. The channel list editor can also be launched from here and CAMs inserted into the CI slot can be configured. We tried out a range of CAMs (Seca, Viaccess and DragonCAM) and the meter identified all of them correctly and offered the corresponding module menus. Last but not least, the System configuration section of the main menu must be accessed if
a default reset is required or to display the currently installed software, which in our test unit was version 1.0.3. From the main menu we proceeded with calling up USB options, which consist of a menu offering the following options: Record: Starts a recording if the user has set channel, date, start time and duration of the recording beforehand. Playback: Lists recordings available from the connected USB storage medium and plays back the selected recording. Picture View: Displays JPEGs that are saved on the storage medium. Soft Upgrade: Updates the devices firmware. Parameter Upgrade: Upgrades the settings list that we pre-arranged on the PC using the editor software. To get a well-founded impression of the Trimax TM6800+ we exclusively and intensively tried it out for several days. After a short familiarisation period we were able to quickly align antennas as well as detect and also solve problems.

Here are some of the special features we particularly appreciated: The large display is something we will never want to do without again. Even HD channels are presented crisply and with amazing details. The small overall size of the device makes the display appear even bigger. The onscreen menu is designed to make full use of the display size as well, which means the font size is ideal and all texts and information are easy to read at a glance. Another feature that enhances user-friendliness is a backlit keypad the illumination can be turned on or off and comes very handy at night or in dark rooms. In everyday use the spectrum analyzer did not react quickly enough to be used as a real-time spectrum. Only if you reduce the frequency span to 50 MHz the spectrums refresh rates reach real-time performance. Nonetheless, the spectrum mode sports a number of highly useful features: You might think that a marker that can be used to scroll to a transponder in order to then initiate a signal scan on that frequency is nothing out of the ordinary. In actual fact, however, only few signal meters are capable of correctly handling such a feature and the Trimax TM6800+ does not only handle it, but performs brilliantly. Feed hunters in particular will love that as it allows them to quickly
find active transponders and then hunt for transmissions on those frequencies. For a job like that the refresh rate of the spectrum at the full 1250 MHz frequency span is more than sufficient. Just like in the constellation mode it is possible to create a screenshot of the current spectrum by simply pressing the Point button. This is a very helpful function when it comes to professional documentation and acceptance of an installation job. After all, nothing beats substantiated evidence in case of queries at a later stage. The undisputed highlight of the TM6800+ is the BNC connection on the upper side. It can be used to put out the current transponder as an ASI stream at any time. The ASI protocol is used for the transmission of DVB transponders, irrespective of the modulation type. Broadcasting equipment such as demodulators, modulators, multiplexers, headends etc. generally come with ASI inputs and outputs. For a signal meter like the TM6800+ to offer such an output is nothing short of a miracle as it allows to quickly diagnose flaws whenever a signal does not arrive properly at a particular device. It is important to note at this point that professional systems cannot be re-programmed on the fly for individual tests, so it does make sense to use the TM6800+ instead to provide a device with an ASI data steam for

evaluation purposes. Any installer who also sets up and services small-scale headends will find the Trimax TM6800+ to be a perfect companion. Whats more, the demand for head-ends in communal distribution systems will remain on the rise in the years to come. The bottom line is that the Trimax TM6800+ is just what we were looking for. The meter definitely allows speedy satellite antenna alignment and is a valuable aid in the hunt for errors and flaws. The Trimax TM6800+ has
finally managed to propel a handheld meter into the professional league. The TM6800+ is currently available in two versions, for DVB-S/S2 (our test meter) and for DVB-C/T. Versions for DVB-T2 and with a combination of tuners are in the pipeline. If you want to exchange tuners all you need to do is remove a cover on the back (which is attached with two screws) and remove the tuner component, which again is screwed to the device. With the TM6800+ Trimax has launched a wonderful
little miracle box offering a whole range of professional features, with the ASI output shining particularly bright. Installers of commu-
nal antennas as well as feed hunters will find that the new meter can easily become their equipment of choice. Talk about Genie in box

The reason there is a slight delay is the fact that KartinaTV has to load all EPG data and channel logos from the Internet when it is first started. This is a one-time process, though, and with all subsequent channel changes EPG information will be displayed right away. The channel list layout is of remarkable clarity and very appealing, it even shows the channel logo next to its name and looks more like a web interface than a set-top box OSD. Whenever the channel list is called up a small window in the upper left corner of the screen shows the currently selected channel. This way you can stay glued to the current broadcast while scrolling up and down the list. If you want to switch to a channel on the list all you need to do is press the OK button twice to make the list disappear and to watch the channel in full-screen mode. Just like with satellite television, a touch of the Info button reveals the title of the current and next events. In theory, zapping could be awesome with such a great-looking and easy-touse interface, but it is here that an inherent weakness of IPTV comes to the fore: Youre forced to wait approximately three seconds from the time you select a channel until it actually appears on screen, as this is the time it takes for the receiver to request, receive, process and finally display the online data stream. One of the most useful features of the channel list is the category option, which means you can restrict the channels on the list to genres such as music, news, entertainment, sports or nature, to name just a few. For many of our readers IPTV probably equates to low-quality video full of pixelisations and artefacts, matched to awful audio. In this day and age of hidef satellite television, who would take up with something like that? If you, too, think along those lines, you better think again!

formed a small-scale field test with colleagues and visitors to our editorial office and showed them satellite TV channels alongside IPTV channels from KartinaTV: The result of our experiment was that none of these persons was able to tell which was satellite TV and which was IPTV. Whats more, the KartinaTV FullHD channel even prompted some to believe they were watching a Blu-ray movie. While this is a tad far-fetched and will not hold its own under professional examination, it still goes to show that the KartinaTV video quality is a far
cry from early IPTV trials. One of the great aspects of KartinaTV is that SD channels dont require more than a 1 Mb/s Internet connection for reliable reception (with KartinaTV recommending 1.8 Mb/s). If youre going for HD or even FullHD resolution we found the minimum to be 2 Mb/s and KartinaTV recommends 8 Mb/s. Even though, most Internet connections these days will easily be capable enough for stable reception of KartinaTV and its IPTV channels. We all turn into couch po-
tatoes every once in a while and dont want to leave our place in front of the telly no matter what. For an evening like that it is paramount to know whats on TV and the KartinaTV EPG delivers brilliantly. Not only is it a virtually endless well of information, it also presents all information quickly and in a very user-friendly way. In our test we were able to call up EPG data for a total of 14 days for all channels on the list, with information being available four days into the past and ten days into the future. The current
program stays on screen in a small window while the EPG is active, which means commercial breaks can be used conveniently to browse the electronic TV guide and theres no risk of missing a single second of the broadcast youre watching. Most receivers running the Spark operating software do not come with an integrated hard disk and can only be turned into a fully-fledged PVR for DVB-S/S2 or DVBT channels with an external storage medium.

all technical possibilities by providing shift viewing, for example, without the need for a physical storage medium. IPTV reception allows to pause the live program at any given time and to continue again from that very point at a later stage. KartinaTV even offers content that was broadcast within the four preceding days on any channel of the line-up. This is a major advantage of streaming content over the Internet. Another major benefit of IPTV when compared to DVB-T or DVB-S is video-on-demand
(VOD). KartinaTV runs an extensive library, offering its subscribers individual content from a total of 27 different categories. Every VOD movie comes with a comprehensive summary, IMDB rating, number of requests within the KartinaTV network and cover view. The VOD database has something in store for everyone and will please the kids with the latest animated blockbuster just as well as their parents with a suspense movie or romantic comedy. Never again will you say theres nothing on TV tonight! VOD content can of
course be paused and continued at any given time and the integrated search function of the KartinaTV application will guide you through the vast content library so that you can really find the movie thats right for you. On our voyage of discovery through the Spark softwares KartinaTV application we discovered many great features and quite some pleasant surprises. It was simply great to find out how perfect implementation of all KartinaTV features can turn a DVB-S/S2 receiver into a fully-functional IPTV
receiver. KartinaTV worked flawlessly and reacted swiftly in a variety of different test scenarios. Thanks to its excellent video quality and generous default features IPTV has the potential to become a worthwhile alternative or addition to satellite reception. As far as KartinaTV is concerned, it primarily targets Russian speakers all over the world who dont have access to satellites that transmit channels from Russia. For them, Fulans Spark operating software is a reliable and technically sound option.

should avoid by all means to interrupt this process or, even worse, unplug the receiver. But then again, this would not really cause any major damage since the boot loader will be unaffected and the worst that could happen is that you have to restart the flash process for the memory bank in question. Whats more, even with a failed flash process there are still two other intact firmware images in the memory that can be used to boot the receiver. And if the worst case occurs and you manage to screw up both the firmware and boot loader the AZBox ME boasts a kind of panic button on the back panel which activates an emergency image to allow a new flash process. So now that the new v1.6 firmware was in place we called up the installation wizard to adjust the software according to our requirements. Instead of initiating a channel search we decided to use the settings list we had saved previously, because we wanted to get a first impression of the revised firmware straight away. It always pays off to have copies of ones current settings on the PC as it saves valuable time in cases like that. A number of settings editors for Linux receivers are available from the Internet, but in actual fact all you have to do is copy a directory with the help of an FTP client. The settings can be found in the /etc/tuxbox directory and you may use any standard FTP application such as Filezilla, for example, to create backups of your existing settings and to restore those backup copies onto the receiver again. The only thing you need to know is your receivers IP address to access its file directory. Key in root as user name and leave the password field empty by default. If your receiver can be accessed via the Internet you should, however, change the default setting and set a password to protect unauthorised access. With MS Windows press the Windows key plus R and key in telnet 192.168.1.100 (make sure
2. On the first step, the user must upload the desired firmware image. 3. After the upload, the receiver can be configured to automatically reboot after the flashing process.

Firmware Upgrade (BOOT 2). In actual fact, it does not make a difference at all which position you choose the result always stays the same. All you need to know in the boot loader menu is which number (0, 1 or 2) corresponds to which image.
On the next page you can select the required firmware by pressing the Browse button. Once the right file is chosen a click on the Upload! button initiates the file transfer from the PC to the receiver. This process only takes a few seconds and after it is com-
pleted the next page appears on the screen. On this third page you can determine whether or not the receiver should re-boot automatically after the new firmware has been flashed. We recommend activating this function because it means you can leave the box unattended during the entire upgrade process. Once the new firmware is installed the receiver will boot all on its own with the new software. Simply press the Flash! button and let the magic begin. You

you use your receivers actual address!). Use root without a password to log in and once youre in the Linux shell type in the command passwd. Then you set the password and key it in a second time to make sure it is correct. From now on that password is required for logging in as root user. Now the time has finally come for checking out the new blind scan functions. All features are seamlessly incorporated in the firmware and can be found in the signal search menu right where we would have expected them. With the new firmware the Blind Scan option is added to the existing Multisat, Single Transponder and Single Satellite modes. Blind scan with the AZBox ME is a three-step affair: First, the tuner scans the entire frequency band for transponders. Next, reception parameters are determined for each found frequency. In case Network Scan is active all associated transponder data are extracted from the NIT stream. The third step comprises the actual blind scan, which means the individual transponders are scanned for channels. In our test we were looking for answers to the following questions: How many channels are found using blind scan as opposed to the pre-defined transponder list? How fast is blind scan? Are channels with low symbol rates also found using blind scan? Are the data of transponders found with blind scan stored in the transponder list so that those transponders will also be found using regular search modes? To find those answers we started out with deleting all channels transmitted from HISPASAT 30.0W and initiated a standard transponder search (Single Satellite mode) with active network scan. In general, providers take advantage of their transponders to transmit information on other transponders they also use, so that users can be sure their receivers find all channels of individual providers, no matter over how many transponders they are spread. More often than not, pre-defined transponder lists are not fully up-to-date and therefore it makes sense to always use the benefits of network mode to make sure your receiver can find all available channels. The search on HISPASAT 30.0W took some 24 minutes and yielded a total of 548 channels. We then proceeded with performing the same search on the same satellite using the newly added blind scan function. Once again, we made sure Network Scan was turned on. This time the search only lasted 18 minutes and resulted in 613 identified channels. Needless to say, we were rather impressed with the capabilities of the AZBox MEs blind scan mode. We gave the channel list a quick look and stumbled across three channels that might be of particular interest to satellite DXers. (table 1) Many tuners struggle with symbol rates of around 2000 Kbit/s and if that happens these channels are either not found at all in a search or not demodulated correctly. We were all the more surprised to find out that the AZBox ME seems to be in a league of its own as far as low symbol rates are concerned. Excited by those promising first results we hooked our 1m offset antenna to the AZBox and aligned it towards TELSTAR 12 (15.0W). This is a position that is not widely known and used in Central Europe as it only transmits few FTA channels. Transponder 10 at 12608H seems to be the most obvious choice it is used by Globecomm to broadcast BBC Persian, among others. To be frank, there is another reason we chose TELSTAR 12 for a blind scan search: It

is the position of choice for a number of regular feeds which come with totally outof-the-ordinary symbol rates. To make matters worse, those rates usually are also very low
and hardly exceed the 2000 to 5000 Kbit/s bracket. To make sure the AZBox MEs new firmware does not rely on dirty tricks or use any shortcuts we performed a
blind scan with the HISPASAT satellite configuration still in place. In such a case a regular transponder search would hardly bring a result since transponders on different satellites generally have different frequencies and deviating reception parameters. One of the found channels was TUNIS TV with a symbol rate of 2893 Kbit/s, which goes to show yet again how capable the tuner of the AZBox ME really is. It should definitely be able to meet even the exacting demands of feed hunters and satellite DXers. As our in-depth test progressed we moved the antenna
further west until we reached INTELSAT 905 (24.5W). Apart from NTA International and RTI 1 there are no FTA channels transmitted in the Ku band from that position. There are, however, numerous transponders dedicated to feeds only, which prompted us to perform another blind scan. This time, many transponders were found again in steps 1 and 2 of the blind scan process, while not a single result was achieved in step 3, when the actual channels should be scanned. To obtain a second opinion we attached our reference meter (Spaun Sparos 609)

17 can compare these pIDs with the ones specified on popular satellite websites to make sure they did indeed find a new channel and not just an existing channel with a different name. 18. Service Info of Ribamontana: the Symbol Rate is specified in Bit/s instead of the usual Kbit/s! clearly a very low SR, showing the excellent capabilities of the tuner. 19. Tunisia 1 on TElSTAR 15.0W. Also a channel with low Symbol Rate. Most receivers are not able to receive such channels. 20. Verification of TELSTAR 15.0W with our spectrum analyzer. We compared the number of found transponders with the number of spikes seen on the spectrum (only one image shown, but of course we used all four bands: v-l, H-l, v-H and H-H). The blind scan did not miss any transponder! 18 19
to the antenna output of the AZBox ME and looked at the spectrum analyser to find out what was going on. It turned out that the beta version of the blind scan mode has a bug which can prevent the receiver from switching from high band to low band (0 kHz signal instead of 22 kHz signal) in the final step of a blind scan. What happens then is that transponders found in the low band are later scanned in the high band, which of course yields no results. When we examined the satellites.xml file, which Linux receivers generally use to save their transponder list, we
found that details of transponders found using blind scan unfortunately are not added to the general transponder list. Opensats software engineers are currently addressing that issue and will offer a fix shortly. While the new blind scan mode still leaves some room for improvement, feed hunters may nonetheless use it at this stage to write down the frequencies of all detected transponders and then perform manual scans using that data. In addition, we have nothing but praise for Opensats speedy firmware development which keeps adding great fea-
20
tures to a receiver that never ceases to amaze us. Were all looking forward to the final release version of the blind scan feature, yet even now the AZBox ME is a fascinating box al-
ready. Its hard to believe such a small and inexpensive satellite receiver can offer so many useful functions. You can be sure this isnt the last time you read about that super box. 109

chip Flashing
This is the story on how the desire to change the localized settings of a satellite meter ended up with the external programming of its flash chip
vitor Martins Augusto
1
I own a satellite meter, which is being sold under many different brands. It is easy to recognize the different OEM versions, as they look pretty much the same, with slight variations on the colour and logo. Because my model came pre-configured with Asian locations and my distributor does not provide any localized firmware for the European region, I figured that I could upgrade the firmware with a release
1. picture of the main board of my satellite meter. 2. The AlI M3329D processor gives hopes that there is a possible JTAG programming route to rescue the firmware.
made available from a different distributor. I expected to get some extra functionality, but above all, I hoped that the new settings would match my region. Actually, the only annoyance that got me to look for a different firmware in the first place was the fact that I could not edit the name of my location. I had to program Shanghai with my latitude and longitude, but I could not change the name to my hometown Porto. This annoyed me. A lot. After copying the new firmware file onto a USB pen, I activated the flashing procedure on my satellite meter and the device turned itself off, as
112 TELE-satellite International The Worlds Largest Digital TV Trade Magazine 04-05/2012 www.TELE-satellite.com
expected. Unfortunately, it would not turn on again: I was holding a dead device! No big deal, I thought, since this meter is provided with an extra RS232 cable, that fits in the Audio/Video jack. Since no flashing software was provided, I assumed that the flashing could be done with HyperTerminals
X-Modem protocol, which is how the firmware is flashed in with many other satellite meters of the same kind. I tried the obvious settings: 115200, 8N1, but got no reply. A little scared, I started to press all conceivable key combinations on the meter, hoping that the boot loader would allow a recovery USB flashing procedure. No luck. To make sure that the boot loader was at least operational, I opened both the original firmware, which I had backed up before flashing the meter (the meter has this option and you should definitely use it) and the firmware I just flashed with an HEX-editor and both revealed the same boot loader. All bytes were equal. This should mean that even though I flashed a wrong firmware (at this point I was not certain if I had a different hardware revision or if the firmware had some kind of OEM check), at least the boot loader should be operational. Again, I tried several flashing tools for hand held satellite meters, but none did seem to work. At this point I was pretty certain that my only way out of having transformed my meter into a brick was to actually program the flash chip myself. There are two options for this: one is to look out for a JTAG-adapter on the main board, the other is to use an external device programmer to write the flash chip. I opened up the meter and looked for the typical flash chip but somehow didnt find it! Only after a long search did I notice that this board was using a serial Eeprom, which means that the flash chip is actually a tiny chip with only 8 pins (4 each side). I found pins which correspond to a regular JTAG, but the main CPU of the board was an ALI chip. I had no JTAG utility that would program a Spansion S25FL016A through an ALI CPU. A Google search did, however, point me to two interesting facts: 1) There are plenty of satellite receivers using the exact same CPU, unfortunately with different flash chips. Someone had adapted a flashing utility for this CPU and even included the source code (C++). 2) From the router hacking scene (DD-WRT and OpenWRT), I found out that this Spansion S25L016A is not so uncommon with routers and that later revisions of the same flashing utility
would actually support this flash chip, but not the ALI CPU. Again, I got hold of the source code. The next attempt was pretty straight forward: I implemented the flash definitions of one source code into the source code that had the ALI CPU support. I soldered some wires to the JTAG on the board and tried if I could connect though the JTAG port to the CPU and flash. Short answer: I couldnt. Since there were too many unclear factors (wrong connections to the JTAG, too long wires, errors in the compiled utility, etc.), I decided that this route was too risky. This meant that I would have to program the flash externally. Because I did not own a device programmer, I searched eBay to figure out if there was a cheap solution. I always wanted to own a device programmer, anyway, as it is a really useful device. I was sick of having to build parallel port programmers that would only support one single chip type, whenever I needed to program a new chip. EBay revealed a huge amount of different device programmers at a broad price range. I decided to spend as little money as possible and bought one for just 37 Euros and free shipping. I thought that the risk was small, plus the list of supported devices did include my Spansion flash! After two weeks the device programmer finally arrived. I installed the software and tried to read and write some Atmel chips. Everything worked fine. The next step was to desolder the S25FL016A from my dead satellite meter. Unfortunately I only own a regular soldering iron and I was not able to desolder this chip, mainly because I didnt want to destroy it. Instead, I asked a friend for help, who owns a professional soldering station with tweezers and within 2 seconds, the chip was desoldered without any harm done on either the chip or the PCB. Back home, I connected wires to each of the 8 pins, since I didnt own a compatible chip holder for my programmer. After connecting all wires to the device programmer, the chip was indeed recognized and I started the programming cycle. The software of the programmer erased the chip (all bytes are set to &HFF), programmed my original backup of the firmware and finally did a verification, to check
114 TELE-satellite International The Worlds Largest Digital TV Trade Magazine 04-05/2012 www.TELE-satellite.com
desolder anything. Had I only known about this tool two weeks ago! Not satisfied, I wondered how this tool managed to establish a connection through the serial port, since I hadnt been able to do so in my own previous trials. The answer: the meter uses even parity instead of none... This must be the first device I see with such configuration: 115200 8E1. Now I could see the boot loader messages on HyperTerminal, too.
3. A JTAG interface is quickly found. Unfortunatly no success trying to program the firmware this way. 4. The flash chip, a Spansion S25Fl016A, had to be desoldered. 5. no harm was done to the pcB. It is important not to overheat the pcB, to avoid traces popping out. 6. Due to a lack of a suitable chip adapter, small wires were soldered on the 8 pins of the chip. 7. The chip was connected to the device programmer. Extra care was taken to avoid any mistake connecting the right wires to the programmer.
if the programmed bytes matched the ones from the original file. Everything went smoothly without any error. This gave me the courage to solder the Spansion back onto the board. I turned the meter on and... It worked again! Not satisfied I did a more exhaustive Google search and this time came up with a support site for yet another OEM version of my meter. Though the website was in Russian language, I got around with Googles translator and found out that it actually offered two firmware releases, a flashing tool and a settings editor. Despite the fact that the tools were in Russian language too (using Cyrillic characters), I tried them out and this time I checked the hardware revision of my satellite meter and compared it with the pictures shown on the website: they matched. So after having returned the meter from the brick-land for just half an hour, I flashed it with this firmware version, only to find out that the meter was dead again. No problem, I thought. I could always flash it externally with my new programmer. But since I would have to ask my friend to desolder the Spansion again, I tried the flashing tool first. Without being able to understand any message displayed, I managed to figure out how to use it and who would have guessed it! It worked! I was able to flash my backup to the meter, without having to

sure that you have a plan B, if things go wrong. Normally, boot loaders do provide a way to flash the firmware, even if your device is dead (unless you managed to delete the boot loader, too). 3) You are totally at ease, if you own an external programmer, which supports your flash chip. My cheap programmer has proven to be very good value for money. It is impressive how such a cheap programmer manages to support that many devices. Another thumbs up for this device, because it works even if you just solder some wires to the pins of your chip, instead of using a proper adapter. Professional

1) Never trust a firmware-image from a different OEM model, even if it looks exactly as yours! You might have a different hardware revision, or the OEM producers might have implemented some kind of firmware-check, that prevents cross flashing. The reason is of course the different level of support that each brand invests in its devices. 2) Before flashing a device, make

conclusions
programmers would not work in such way, requiring for each chip package the correct adapter (and such adapters cost more than my cheap programmer). After this adventure, I can say that I am much more fond of my satellite meter and I have a deep respect on how miniaturized it is. It is a pretty good meter for standard installations and for amateur enthusiasts of satellite reception. Not being able to use it for two weeks made me realize how much I depended on it. So I promised myself to not flash it with any firmware again

are generally fast enough for TV via the Internet. Internet access is not as yet available throughout the continent, but its only a matter of time. I have good expectations for our company in this market, he continues as he establishes why he even flew to Africa. In addition to learning more about this market thats hardly been penetrated, it was also the perfect opportunity to test his IPTV boxes and check out his self-developed technology. Weve recently started keeping an eye on an IPTV network in Bangkok, Thailand. We designed a complete system for a provider there including the IPTV receivers for end users, we learn from General Manager Eagle Chain. At the moment the network is laid out to handle up to 50,000 users; we could set it up to supply up to 500,000 users with IPTV. Its a turnkey solution developed by the Sowell engineers. The system is carrying 45 SD channels and 5 HD channels. But Sowell doesnt see itself as just a supplier of IPTV solutions for providers in the future, they also see an interesting future as a supplier of independent IPTV receivers. The number of expatriates is always increasing and more often than not its unlikely that theyll be able to see their TV channels via satellite from home. IPTV is ideal for this group. As an example, Eagle Chain points out two IPTV Chinese-language services. Here in China the IPTV service from www.pptv.com is very popular and for those Chinese people living in the USA its the IPTV provider www.kylintv.com. For other language groups there are just as many providers and with the consistently increasing number of Internet providers appearing, the interest in this type of programming service also continues to increase. Were working on developing very comfortable receivers for these IPTV providers. In other words, the user no longer has to access these channels through his laptop and make due with a small monitor; instead he can use a standalone IPTV receiver and that big-screen TV in his living room. IPTV isnt the only thing that Sowell is looking at for the future. Were also

This product will become available from us in the 3rd quarter of 2012, promises Eagle Chain. Naturally Sowell is also working on incorporating the Android operating system into their receivers. This is the best way to combine TV reception and the Internet. With this the circle is now complete; Eagle Chain is convinced that the Internet will play a larger and larger role in the future. You cant disagree with it; Sowell is in the process of developing the right products for the future.

satellite receivers still came with hefty price tags; it was an expenditure that you really had to think about. It was a good decision working for those receivers. At some point I amassed a collection of about 50 receivers and I was very familiar with each and every one of them since I fully tested them all. Today Rick has shown that his enthusi-
asm back then was a treasure trove of experience; the operation of all of the receivers was intuitively easy. Then one day coincidence came to his aid: his employer, the auto parts company, reorganized and offered Rick a position that didnt appeal to him. Instead, he decided to go out on his own. His wife Bobbie supported him and said, You have to do what you really like to do. She was right. In 2002 Rick and Bobbie started the company Ricks Satellite. It wasnt easy in the beginning, says Rick, My wife had to have a second job on the side.
158 TELE-satellite International The Worlds Largest Digital TV Trade Magazine 04-05/2012 www.TELE-satellite.com
A successful couple: Rick and Bobbie together run the satellite online shop Ricks Satellite in Blue Springs, Missouri,
USA. Its an area with 60,000 inhabitants located east of Kansas city. Its an excellent location: Kansas city likes to be referred to as the heart of America; its not only the geographical center of the USA, its also the mathematical center of USAs population.
The young company managed to sell 50 receivers in the first year. 10 years later sales have greatly increased: We sold over 1100 receivers in 2011 with the AZBox Receivers being the biggest seller. But receiver sales are only one part of their business. We also sell complete systems for GALAXY 19 reception at 97W. In 2011 it totaled 300 systems, most of which were with 75cm dishes, some shipped with 90cm antennas. Rick
explains to us what all the fuss is about with GALAXY 19: It is currently the most interesting of all satellites in North America in terms of FTA. The satellite TV market in North America is supplied by two large PayTV providers that each have their own reception systems. Rick provides us with even more background: The last analog terrestrial transmitters were turned off about two years ago. The problem is that the new digital terrestrial
transmitters dont have the same range as the old analog transmitters. And so, for many people living in outlying regions the only solution was to subscribe to a satellite PayTV service. Rick says: The Satellite Pay Services normally require a two year contract and then after you subscribe to a basic package, you can then subscribe at an extra fee to the same local channels that they used to receive for free with an terrestrial antenna when 159

they were analog. Additional receivers for other rooms are also another $5.00 a month. Rick continues: Many people that went to the Satellite Pay services are canceling their service when their original 2 year commitment is over. This is where GALAXY 19 comes into play: There are only one-time reception system costs involved with this satellite, after that, no additional costs. Thats why were now getting quite a few complete system orders for this satellite. Rick is convinced that more and more viewers are ready to give up paying monthly subscription fees and that theyll find happiness with the FTA alternative. Unfortunately, only a few potential viewers are aware of this possibility, but the word is slowly getting out. Since Rick is himself a satellite enthusiast, he knows exactly what receivers are appropriate for the North American market. One receiver brand stands out in particular: AZBox has exactly the receivers that are optimally suited for this region, says Rick. He is so enthusiastic about their products that he has even taken over the North American distribution of that brand name. The AZBox re1. Bobbie, Ricks better half, is always on the telephone. I get almost 200 telephone calls from customers a week. 2. UpS bringing a delivery of receivers. The garage and a separate building extension serve as the warehouse.

AZBox receivers are stacked up all the way to the ceiling. These units are quite popular in north America since they can receive modes that are used by a number of north American services and that cant by received by most other satellite receivers.

The broadcasts are archived in the Internet at www.thepowerhour.com 2. Theres no doubt about it! A satellite enthusiast is working here! Rick is constantly putting receivers to the test and connecting them to his satellite antennas.
ceivers can receive modes that otherwise could only be received with much more expensive professional receivers. 8PSK and 4:2:2 he points out as an example. Sure enough, Rick was able to start a new business with AZBox receivers: he sells them also to uplinkers and professional users thereby saving them almost ten times the cost of a professional box. Obviously, this works for only a few applications, such as, for monitoring. Clearly, this niche has become so large that Rick can divide his business into three nearly identical segments: satellite enthusiasts (hobbyists), professional users (uplinkers) and FTA viewers (regular viewers). Rick is happy with the way his business has developed: We had a 20% increase in business in 2011 and AZ Box was one of the major reasons for that and we anticipate another 20% increase in 2012 with that distributed evenly across all three business segments. Rick and Bobbie made the right decision 10 years ago: they converted their hobby into a successful business. They had to deal with a number of difficulties but now theres no holding back. With the right products Ricks Satellite business can only continue to climb upwards.

on cable distribution technology. China supplied us the components and we assembled modulators and amplifiers as well as other components that are used for TV signal distribution, explains Joao regarding the companys strategy today. We employ 25 people of which 15 are in manufacturing, three are in engineering with the remaining in administration and sales, he lists for us. Roughly 10,000 units are shipped by Wadt every year. The company found-
ers daughter, Neide, who still actively takes care of the companys finances, tells us more about these sales figures: Our sales equate to about 2 million Brazilian Real each year. But things will be changing here as Joao tells us: For years now the Brazilian government hasnt issued any new cable licenses but thats in the process of changing. With the new cable systems and new cable companies he foresees a big new market for Wadt. We already have the new digital
TV modulators available, says Joao. Any new cable systems will no longer employ analog technology. Wadt even has satellite receivers and digital terrestrial TV receivers to offer but Joao doesnt see much of a future for this segment because of low product prices. Were concentrating completely on cable distribution technology, confirms Joao. He is convinced that this decision will keep the old company Wadt alive and well for decades to come.

outside of Great Britain. Hypex customers can be found as far away as Malaysia. Neal explains how it came to that: Over those many years our company has become very well-known and established and aside from that many Asian companies have their own branch office in Great Britain. For those its much sim-

pler to place their orders directly with us as opposed to going through the national distributor from their own country. What can you order from Hypex? As a provider of professional satellite reception components, Hypex offers a large assortment of satellite dishes. We even sell antennas up to 20 meters in diameter. Giant antennas like these are only rarely ordered but the sales figures for smaller sizes look quite different: We typically sell about one 4.0-meter dish a year, with 3.0-meter antennas its about 10 a year and we sell about 100 of the 2.4-meter dishes a year. Those are very high sales numbers for dishes of these sizes. The 2.4-meter dish is pri-
marily used by our dealers and installers for private customers from Arabic countries here in London who want to watch TV from home. Naturally the sales numbers for smaller dishes are much higher. We offer 60cm, 80cm and 110cm dishes of which we sell about 5000 pieces a year. Theres another product group that has similar sales numbers: Hypex also offers Turbosat receivers (Icecrypt). Our bestseller is the S2000Ci; it makes up about 40% of all our receiver sales, Neal tells us after having a look at his sales statistics, This is followed by the T5000 DVB-T receiver at 20%. The sales numbers for these receivers
were about the same for 2010 and 2011 at about 5000 receivers per year. The LNB group is much higher from a numbers point of view but not from a value standpoint. Roughly 25,000 LNBs pass through the Hypex warehouse every year. A bright light for this group (in every sense of the word) would be the fibre-optic LNBs from GlobalInvacom. In 2010 we sold about 250 of these LNBs but in 2011 this number tripled to 750. If this trend continues, it will be Hypexs strongest growing segment. Additional digital TV products offered by Hypex are TV wall mounts. We sell about 8000 wall mounts a year for TVs of all shapes and sizes. Hypex is diversifying into other areas and offers for
176 TELE-satellite International The Worlds Largest Digital TV Trade Magazine 04-05/2012 www.TELE-satellite.com
example cable conduit. In all, Hypex works closely with 15 manufacturers as a distributor for Great Britain. How does all of this translate into sales? Neal reveals to us: The past several years have been constant for us at about 2.5 million British Pounds. The
number of products sold is going up but pricing pressure keeps the overall value down. Thats why the continuous search for new products and product groups is the secret to success for a company like Hypex that has kept itself permanently successful for so many decades. Heres to the next 30 years!
1.Whats that on the top shelf? Yes, theyre the fibre-optic LNBs, converters and distributors from GlobalInvacom. Its the fastest growing product group at Hypex. 2. A look into a cabinet at Hypex: Icecrypt receivers are one of their success products. Tv wall mounts (in the foreground) are another success story.

to be a special station can be seen if you pay a visit to their brand new, ultra modern ground station. Our station tour guide is Zhang Bing; hes been working for Shenzhen TV as a Broadcast Engineer since 1994 and witnessed first hand the stunning growth of the station. Shenzhen TV started in 1984, explains Zhang Bing to us during the tour, Today there are more than 2000 people working here of which 260 are in the technical field and of those there are 70 Broadcast & Transmission engineers. The channel has been transmitting via satellite since 2004: We transmit two channels via CHINASAT 6A at 125E - our HD channel is on 4.040H and the SD channel plus three radio channels are on 3.845H. The mentioning of the three radio channels, that naturally are
also transmitted terrestrially via FM, points out the fact that Shenzhen TV offers more than just one TV channel. Weve been transmitting four SD DVBT TV channels since 2006. And since 2008 weve been using DMB-TH to transmit five TV channels terrestrially in HD. We also offer cable subscribers in Shenzhen 10 TV channels and were getting ready for distribution via IPTV. Sure enough, Shenzhen TV changed its name to Shenzhen Media Group back in 2006 and is now know by the abbreviation SZMG. Shortly after that in 2007 ground was broken on the Ground Station in Xili. We have six uplink antennas and 20 downlink antennas, says Zhang Bing as he gestures to these dishes that have been very profession-
ally arranged. SZMG uses the downlink antennas to receive the transmissions and SNG feeds for their own channel. He explains to us the function of the uplink antennas: All of the antennas are used in pairs: one main dish and a backup dish. Two 6.2-meter antennas handle our own SNG uplink in the Kuband, Two additional antennas for our SNG uplink in the C-band in which the main dish is 9.0 meters in diameter and the backup dish is 7.3 meters wide.

And now for the highlight of our visit: Shenzhen TV will soon be uplinking their TV signal themselves. Up until now our TV signal was delivered fiberoptically to the Province uplink in Guangzhou. But well soon be uplinking our TV channels from here - were in the final stages of the installation. They will be using two 9.0-meter antennas to handle this task and as always, one will be the main antenna and the other will serve as the backup. The actual start date of their own TV channel uplink is not yet set in stone; maybe itll take place when this issue of TELE-satellite is published.

If in the USA you want to find out more about satellite reception, you go straight to the Internet to the SatelliteGuys.us forum. Numerous threads in this forum provide any and all information not only on the reception of freely receivable satellite signals, but it also provides help for any problems that subscribers to the two satellite PayTV operators in the USA might have. A team of 25 volunteers manage all of the sub forums and also take care of their own specialized subjects. The forum has 175,000 registered users; the occasional users and visitors to the forum make up a multiple of that number. Founder and organizer of SatelliteGuys is Scott Greczkowski. He lives in Newington, a suburb of Hartford, the capital city of the state of Connecticut in the USA on the American east coast. Thats where we paid him a visit since we wanted to get a better understanding of how Scott created the largest satellite forum in the USA. How did he even get started with satellite reception? I was an enthusiastic radio listener early on in life, remembers Scott, When I was young I was always trying to receive radio stations that were
further and further away with my AM radio. Scott had his first encounter with satellite reception when he was 13 years old. In a store that my parents shopped in quite often there was one day a satellite reception system on display. Little Scott was completely fascinated with it and turned the antenna from left to right. He couldnt believe that so many TV channels could be received from so far away. He had to wait a few years, but by 1991 he was able to acquire his own satellite system. At 19 years old I moved into my own apartment and managed to convince the landlord to let me erect a 2.5-meter antenna on top of the garage. He paid US$3000 for that system and still remembers his first receiver. It was a General Instruments model 650, one of the best analog receivers of the time. A friend of his then started an Internet company. Scott helped him out with that and in 1995 a radio show started in the TechTalkNetwork. It dealt with satellite reception (Friday Night Live with Gary Bourgois - Gary passed away in 2010) and it was from here that Scott got the idea to record this radio show and encode it as a stream so that he
could offer it through his friends Internet server. It took three hours to encode one hour of the radio program for the Internet stream. At the same time the company Real Networks developed software that would allow this audio encoding at a much faster rate so that even live transmissions were possible. To test this software, Real Networks contacted a number of Internet service providers including the company from Scotts friend. They found the right guy. Scott immediately put the software into service and carried the radio program live in the Internet. We had a license for 100 listeners and with our first broadcast we had 80 listeners logged in. This gave Scott the first sense that the Internet was an interesting medium that he could use to expand his satellite hobby. But the actual breakthrough where Scott would actively use the Internet came a little later. In 1997 the cable company Digital Cable began their first tests with digital technology and believe it or not selected my area as their test location. Scott was the first private customer that got a digital cable connection. I sat right down and wrote a report on the operation of the digital TV box that included many

1. How far can his dishes see? Scott pulls his iphone from his pocket and starts Dishpointer (www. dishpointer.com). The display shows the receivable satellites from his location. The range covers 50W to 131W. 2. naturally Scott uses another motorized antenna for terrestrial Tv. Sometimes I can receive the digital Tv channels from new York. 3.

pictures. That was his first test report that he from then on continuously kept up to date. He posted this report on the website ttn.nai.net that he was already using for streaming the radio program. He became well-known in the scene practically overnight; even CBS and CNET contacted him so they could report on his experience with this new digital TV technology. When that cable company expanded their product palette to include Internet service in 1998, Scott was again one of the first customer to get connected This time Scott became active again but for a different reason: The cable company was unable to deliver what they had promised. Scott founded a Yahoo Group that very quickly had nearly 1000 members; they were all cable customers who were not happy with their Internet service. Scott stood firm and finally at some point the cable company solved the technical problems. Scott realized that there were many users that had technical problems and that more could be done as a group rather than individually. Scott took this realization and carried it over into satellite reception and in 2000 became a member of the first real satellite forum DBSForum and then later on DBSTalk. I began by posting news and rumors
212 TELE-satellite International The Worlds Largest Digital TV Trade Magazine 04-05/2012 www.TELE-satellite.com
from the satellite scene in the forum, remembers Scott. He became so active in the forum that the operator of the forum eventually started to get uncomfortable. One day I found that my account was locked, shuddered Scott, and I was out. That shouldnt have happened to him, not even once. He found a sponsor that provided him with forum software and space on a server - that was the birth of www.SatelliteGuys.us It was September 7, 2003 when my own forum went live for the first time! says Scott and then explains how he came up with that name, Many small companies use the founders name as the company name. I wanted to do that too but not so directly. My initials are S and G. I thought about it and wondered what could they stand for? S could only be Satellite and the G? The answer came to him in a flash: Its all the members of my forum, its the Satellite Guys. For a domain Scott chose .us since its an American forum. Just recently though I was able to acquire the previously taken .com domain so that now SatelliteGuys can be reached from every important domain. It has only gotten better since then. Scott pulls up the server statistics on his PC: In 2004 we had 29 million page views and in 2011 it had jumped to 500 million page views. Since then the curve has gone steeply upwards: If the
trend stays the same, the page views for 2012 will double to one billion. Scotts forum is viewed mostly in the USA. The server statistics show that 95% of the visitors come from the USA, 4.5% are from Canada with the remainder from the rest of the world. How does Scott finance the costs for such a successful forum? On SatelliteGuys. us youll find banner ads, Google ads as well as sponsors, lists Scott (TELEsatellite is one of those sponsors) who then gives us some numbers, In 2006 we took in about US$10,000 and in 2011 it was roughly US$50,000. Not much is left over from that income: I use that to finance the server costs, the software licenses and the bandwidth. On top of that there are goodwill actions such as the distribution of T-shirts with the SatelliteGuys.us logo as well as other similar promotions to promote the web site. Scott emphasizes that hes not running SatelliteGuys.us for the money; he finds that he has a lot of fun providing other satellite viewers that have problems with their satellite system or receivers with a platform to get help. Numerous forum threads are archived so that you can find help in older forum threads for devices that havent been available for some time. Scott is proud that his forum can provide answers to even the most exotic problem; at some point, every problem was handled once
before. If you have a technical problem, you can utilize our search function or use Google to find the appropriate forum thread. In the meantime SatelliteGuys.us has become the first web address for anyone that has a technical problem with their satellite or cable connection. The incredible assortment of tips and tricks that have been collected in the forum have opened up an area that surprisingly is also becoming interesting for commercial providers: Recently weve become direct partners in customer service for a number of companies, reveals Scott. DishNetwork works together with us: some of their customer service employees are registered members of my forum and answer questions from other members directly in the forum. Other companies have noticed SatelliteGuys as a place to better support their customers, Scott offers the companies the resources they need to support their customers at no charge. Besides DISH Network, official support is now offered by Satellite Radio provider Sirius XM and cable television provider Bright House Networks. Scott hopes to one day also get DIRECTV on board as well. America is starting to learn that if they need support with their satellite or cable service to come to SatelliteGuys

first, and that is something I am very proud of!, says Scott with a smile. Scott never planned for this to happen although deep down he wanted it: he found an expansion of SatelliteGuys.us that other digital TV companies should stop and think about: instead of operating their own legally liable question and answer forum, their customer service employees could answer questions on an external forum such as SatelliteGuys.us. Scotts original idea to provide a platform for other satellite enthusiasts to get help with their technical questions is well on its way to becoming selfsufficient and becoming the customer service point for a number of digital TV companies. Scott managed to discover a very interesting perspective of the future making it possible for his forum to become even much larger and more attractive.

transport streams and in ACM we can even dynamically change the coding rates depending on the feedback information from the reception system. While ACM is very useful in point to point transmissions where there is only one recipient of the information, VCM can be quite useful for satellite TV transmission for a large audience. The content provider may choose to transmit the very basic package of the SD TV channels with a strong error correction thus making it receivable also at the edges of the satellite footprint, while the premium HD channels may be transmitted with weaker correction, so that their reception is guaranteed only in the central part of the footprint where most of the subscribers live. To achieve stronger or weaker error correction, the provider chooses both modulation type (e.g.: QPSK or 8PSK) and inner coding rate. As already described in TELE-satellite (see issue 12-01/2012), there are already transponders transmitting in VCM and ACM format. However, there are still quite few receivers or receiver cards available today that can receive VCM signal. How does the tuner of such a receiver differ from its standard CCM brother? Before we discuss the receiver front end suitable for VCM transmissions, let us focus first on the transmitter part DVB-S2 modulator. Figure 1 explains the principle of operation of a DVB-S2 modulator with MIS (Multi Input Streams) feature.
Figure 1. DvB-S2
226 TELE-satellite International The Worlds Largest Digital TV Trade Magazine 04-05/2012 www.TELE-satellite.com
Three exemplary transport streams (yellow, green and blue) at the input of the modulator consist of rather short transport packets. The TS packets are converted to longer BB (Base Band) frames. They are either 16 or 64 kilobytes long. In fact, there are more operations done in this module (like mode adaptation, stream adaptation) but as they are not so relevant for understanding the principle of operation, there is no need to describe them here. Then, BB frames are time-multiplexed on the same carrier. In the process of coding, BB frames are appended with error correction bits (see Figure 2). Depending on the user settings, LDPC coding rates can be different for different streams. When no data is present, the modulator pads incomplete BB frames or inserts
dummy BB frames if needed. Multiplexed BB frames are then interleaved and modulated. As mentioned earlier, each transport stream (converted to BB frames) can have its own modulation: QPSK, 8PSK, 16APSK or 32APSK and inner coding ratio. Except for the BB header, DVB-S2 also uses PL (Physical Layer) headers. The PL header is always transmitted using a robust modulation and strong FEC rate. This helps the receiver lock on the signal, as well as it provides the information necessary to appropriately demodulate the remainder of the PL frame. The first thing the receiver does when tuned to a given frequency with a given symbol rate is looking for a PL header.
A block diagram of the reception system is shown in Figure 3. This is in fact a partial and simplified block diagram of a VCM compatible DVB-S2 receiver. Signal from an LNB is converted in the L-Band tuner to a pair of quadrature signals: I and Q, which are then converted to the digital domain in the dual analog-to-digital converter. Such architecture is typical for most of the contemporary RF devices not only satellite TV receivers. The DVB-S2 demodulator, after locking and processing the PL header, learns what is inside the signal: how many different transport streams, what modulation they use and what their FEC settings are. At the output of the DVB-S2 demodulator we get BB frames along with additional error correction
228 TELE-satellite International The Worlds Largest Digital TV Trade Magazine 04-05/2012 www.TELE-satellite.com
bits. The next block takes care of error correction and does descrambling if necessary. Unscrambled and error corrected BB frames are fed into the TS processor which turns them into familiar transport stream packets. The transport stream is then processed as in any DVB receiver a desired TVs or radio channels TS packets are filtered out and converted to a HDMI signal or to analog video and audio in digital-toanalog converters. As you can see, the changes in hardware architecture are not so fundamental but except for introducing them, also software must be re-written. For example, todays receivers assume that one transponder carries just one transport stream with a given modulation and FEC ratio. New receivers must be
able to assign more than one transport stream to one transponder. From the end users perspective, a VCM DVB-S2 transponder is like a few classical DVBS2 transponders overlapped one over another on the same frequency. If you would like to transmit the VCM signal as a couple of ordinary CCM signals, you would need as many classical transponders as many transport
streams you use. And because such CCM transponders would have to be separated in frequency spectrum, the total bandwidth occupied by them would be greater than the bandwidth occupied by one VCM transponder. Thats the basic advantage of VCM. The sky seems to be the limit for the excellence in satellite bandwidth utilization.
