Digital Satellite Receiver

Using the RS232 connector

The RS232 connector allows connecting the receiver to a PC. On our Website you will find useful
features such as updates to the Operating Software for downloading.
To connect the receiver to a PC you need a serial cable with 1:1 pin allocation. This means all
pins are connected directly and not crossed over.
The Receiver side requires a standard male 9-pin D-SUB connector. The PC side, according to
the type of your PC, may require either a 9-pin or 25-pin D-SUB connector.
The pins on the receiver side are connected as follows:
Pin 1, 4, 6 - 9 not connected
Pin 2 TXD
Pin 3 RXD
Pin 5 GND

Problems with EPG

Digital TV is a relatively young technology. Programme providers need to invest heavily
into state-of-the-art equipment and not all of them are on the latest level of technology.
Please understand that with some channels the received the EPG data is not very exten-
sive and it may also contain errors.
Some of these shortcomings originating solely with programme providers can be com-
pensated only to a certain extent by software and hardware present in the receiver.
Wrongly displayed EPG information is usually an indication that the programme providers
in question do not observe all criteria of existing DVB standards.
