Hey guys thought this might come in handy for some peeps!:eater:

Beta Digital = an encryption system which is a variant of Irdeto owned by Mindport
CA = Conditional Access
CAM = Conditional Access Module = A Decoder used in a Digital CI type satellite receiver there are many types of CAMs since different encryptions are used by different Television service providers
Card(see SmartCard)
Conax = An encryption System owned by Telenor
CI = Common Interface = a PCMCIA device as used in Laptop computers but also used in satellite TV receivers ? Most CAMs are CI type unless they are embedded or cardless like the original Beta digital CAM supplied with the Nokia D-Box and Nokia 92XX and 95XX range.

DMAC = Television system now unused (as far as I know) used to be the system used by BSB before merger with SKY
D2MAC = Television Standard used on satellite but is a dying system as Analogue dies
Digital = data transfer using numbers = allows compression because numbers can be sent faster than the data is needed ? thus allowing several channels to be sent at the same time

Encryption = Scrambling of a signal usually for the purposes of selling a service ? but also sometimes just so that service providers can share programming without that programming being eavesdropped on
Eurocrypt = Encryption system used within D2MAC, codes are still found on Geronimo?s site www.eurocrypt.net
FEC = Forward Error Correction = often given as ? for example in this case the 4th bit of data corrects any errors in the first 3 bits

Flash (Memory) = a reprogrammable memory used in Cards CAMs and Satellite receivers
FTA = Free To Air = a receiver capable of receiving unencrypted services
FTV = Free To View, distinct from free to air a service which is free to view may be encrypted for example BBC1 and ITV on 28.2 East are free to view so long as you are a TV Licence payer in the UK
But are actually encrypted in Videoguard - IN MAY 2003 BBC will go Free to air when they move to the new Astra 2D satellite ITV Ch4 and 5 may follow suit
Geostationary Satellite(s) = Often referred to as ?the TV Satellite(s)? these satellites appear from earth to be stationary because they orbit the earth above the equator and their distance and speed means that they take 24 hours to circumnavigate the planet which is the same time as it takes for the earth to rotate once

H/V = Horizontal/Vertical (see poloriser)
Irdeto = an encryption system owned by Mindport
Khz = KiloHertz = 1 Khz = 1000 Cycles per second
LNB = Low Noise Block = device that down converts the High frequency signals from a satellite to a range which can be ?seen? by the satellites tuner using a Local Oscilator - Typically an LNB will have two of these a ?Universal? LNB will have a Local Oscillator set at 9.75 Ghz and another at 10.6 Ghz (this higher one is activated by the receiver sending a 22Khz Tone
LNB Loop = Input and Output for 2Ghz frequency signals (Allows a second receiver to be connected to a dish thus expanding the potential ? the second receiver could be an analogue receiver connected to a digital receiver ? or a second digital receiver ? in the case of the later being a second receiver which has USALS BOTH receivers can control the dish position, but watch out always leave the second receiver on a vertical channel otherwise the first receiver may not be able to select a vertical channel when it is on.
Mediaguard = Encryption System owned by S.E.C.A. ?Seca?
Nagravision = A Kudelski S.A. encryption
Null Modem Cable = a Crossed Serial lead with 2 female ends used for two PC?s or two receivers or one PC and one receiver to talk to another ? used for upgrading a satellite receiver with new software pin wiring on a serial null modem cable is as follows Pins 1-1, 2-3, 3-2, 4-6, 5-5, 6-4, 7-8, 8-7, 9-9
Offset (Dish) = Most common dish type the dish is actually a cutaway of a Prime focus dish it appears to be almost upright and the signal is reflected down into the LNB
Patio (Mount) = Tripod Mount
PIC = Progammable Intergrated Circuit = a small computer used in satellite receivers CAMs and Cards
PID = Packet Identify = Bits of data joined together = every digital TV channel has a Video, Audio and PCR PID, usually a scan of a transponder will find this automatically many digital receivers allow you to input these if they aren?t automatically found but a Few can?t
Polar Mount = Mount which usually fits on a pole and gives the dish the ability to Pivot on a line which is parallel to the two poles of the planet
Poloriser = Usually part of a Modern LNB it selects vertical or horizontal polorization of the signal ? Circular left and right hand polorization of signals is also possible though rare ? usually Polorisation is selected by different voltages sent by the receiver 13Volts = vertical 17v = Horizontal
Power Vu = Scientific Atlantic Encryption system used to distribute TV to cable operators and TV service providers
Prime Focus (Dish) = a dish which points directly at the satellite and has a center feed (see also Offset (Dish))
Program = General name for a satellite station
Programme = act of changing data in a receiver, CAM or Card
PPV = Pay Per View = Usually a special event or relatively new film might be transmitted in this way
Receiver = Satellite receiver , Satellite Tuner = device which forms the center of the system often controls everything else in the system
RF = Radio Frequency
RGB = Seperates Red Green Blue colour elements of a picture should give nicer results than CVBS (some people can?t see the difference)
SCART = (Syndicat des Constructeurs d'Appareils Radior?cepteurs et T?l?viseurs) connector is used for combined audio and video connections switching and other special purpose
Scrambling = Encrypting the satellite signal
Service Provider = TV Operator ? any company which supplies a TV or Radio service or station
Simulcrypt = the action of encrypting in two different types of Scrambling system at the same time - In this case a Client might buy one type of CAM and card where both are encryption Type A or the other where both are Type B
Smart Card = a device used to act as a Key for the CAM ? the card is interrogated by the CAM to check if the Card has the rights paid for the service you have selected
SNAC = Seca Non Active Card = developed by the HISAT Team and sold until May 2000 we only stopped because of changes in the UK Law we that time we sold the support site www.satrade.com to Securitech in the Czech Republic ? forecast codes are still available through them although they have stopped supplying the cards
Subscription = when used with reference to a TV Station it is usally a payment to the service provider ? when used in reference to a Newsgroup the subscription can be free and just means that you get news for that service
Symbolrate = like a Baud rate rate at which channel data is sent
T & K (Mount) = Type of Mount named after the shape of the mount helps to mount a Pole perfectly vertical
Tuner (satellite Tuner) = Receiver
UHF = Ultra High Frequency
UHF Loop = input & output to insert the Satellite TV signal into the normal TV Band
USALS = Universal Satellite Equipment Control = An advancement of DiSEqC 1.2 which allows the receiver to communicate it?s operating position on the planet with the Motor Mount which must also be USALS compatible = this enhancement makes fitting a motorized DiSEqC 1.2 system very easy because you only need to enter the Longitude and Latitude of your current position in order for the mount to calculate where every satellite must be
Universal (LNB) = Has a Local Oscilator set at 9.75 and another set at 10.60 the higher one is instigated when the receiver sends a 22Khz Tone
