System Setup [ i : Press MENU > Select Setup] The Setup menu consists of the following sub-menus. 1 Service Searching 2 System 3 Common Interface 4 Parental Control 5 Default settings 6 Factory reset 2-1. Service Searching [ i : Press MENU > Setup > Service Searching] Here you set up the tuners of your Vu+ and run channel scanning automatically or manually. A. Tuner Configuration [ i : MENU > Setup > Service Searching > Tuner Configuration] If you run the First Time Installation process (refer to the page 19~22), the Tuner A and B are already configured. You can check the information of each Tuner and which satellites are scanned by each Tuner as follows. 44 + Vu : Your Smart Linux TV Player + Vu User Manual B. Loading Default Service Lists [ i : MENU > Setup > Service Searching > Default Service List] In case there are service lists available for certain satellites, for example, Astra or Hotbird, you can install the lists in the channel list of your Vu+. If default service lists are not available, you can run the service scan automatically or manually to add TV and radio channels to the channel list of your Vu+. C. Automatic Scan of Services [ i : MENU > Setup > Service Searching > Automatic Scan] The easiest way to scan services is to use Automatic Scan. In the Automatic Scan menu, there are two options to choose from as below. • Clear Before Scan YES is used when you want to delete the existing channel list before you start the automatic scan. If you want to keep the existing list, select NO. • Scan Tuner A (DVB-S2) (or together with Tuner B) If Tuner A and B are configured for the same satellite(s), only Tuner A will appear. If not, both Tuner A and B will appear, asking you which one you want to scan. 45 + Vu User Manual Press OK to activate the automatic scan. This will take some minutes. As the scan proceeds, you will see the progressive bar and the newly found services underneath. D. Manual Scan of Services [ i : MENU > Setup > Service Searching > Manual Scan] If you know well enough to configure each exact setting required for manual search of services, you can do manual scan as well. There are many parameter values that you need to decide as below. For DVB-S2 (High Definition) For DVB-S (Standard Definition) Amongst other things, the below parameters are what you need to decide prior to performing manual scan. 1 Tuner You need to decide which tuner you want to use for manual scan. 2 System Here you have two options between DVB-S (SD) and DVB-S2 (HD). 46 + Vu : Your Smart Linux TV Player + Vu User Manual 3 Frequency You need to enter the exact frequency of the transponder that you want to scan. 4 Symbol Rate You need to enter the exact symbol rate of the transponder that you want to scan 5 Polarity Here, you have options for Horizontal, Vertical, Circular Left and Circular Right. You need to know the polarity of the transponder that you want to scan. 6 FEC (Forward Error Correction) You need to enter the exact FEC value of the transponder that you want to scan 7 Modulation Here you have two options for QPSK (SD) and 8PSK (HD). 8 Network Scan Here you have two options for YES and NO. NO is used to scan the transponder (TP) based on the data that your Vu+ currently has. YES is used to scan the TP not just based on the existing TP data but also using new TP data, if there is TP data newly transported from the TP. Naturally, YES option takes longer while it may results in a better scan result. 9 Clear Before Scan YES is used when you want to delete the existing channel list before you start the automatic scan. If you want to keep the existing list, select NO. 10 Only Free Scan Here you have two options for NO and YES. If you want to scan only Free to Air channels without any encryption, select YES. Otherwise, select NO to scan all FTA and CAS channels. Press OK to activate the manual scan. This will take some minutes. As the scan proceeds, you will see the progressive bar and the newly found services underneath. 47 + Vu User Manual 2-2. System Configuration [ i : Press MENU > Setup > System] Here you can find most of the necessary settings that you might need to optimize your Vu+ in the way you like it. Please read the followings carefully. A. A/V Settings [ i : MENU > Setup > System > A/V Settings] Here you will find options necessary to set up the audio and video configuration of your Vu+. NOTE : RED is for cancel and GREEN is OK. OK key of RCU is not working in this mode. 48 + Vu : Your Smart Linux TV Player + Vu User Manual Amongst the parameters given in this menu, the following ones are generally what you need to decide for the audio and video. 1 Video output Here you need to decide which video output you want to use between your TV and Vu+. The available options are as below. • CVBS • S-Video • RGB 2 Mode You need to decide which resolution to use according to the video output above and your TV amongst the following options. Scart Resolution PAL NTSC Multi 3 AC3 Default YES is used when you want to set Dolby Digital audio as the default audio. If the program you are watching has AC3 and Stereo, AC3 is used. On the other hand, NO is used when you do not want to set Dolby Digital audio as the default audio. If the program you are watching has AC3 and Stereo audio, Stereo audio is used. 4 AC3 Downmix YES is used when you want to set the audio output to be down-mixed from AC3 to Stereo. NO is used when you do not want to set the audio output to be down-mixed from AC3 to Stereo. If NO is on and you are using only HDMI or SCART connection, there can be no audio sometimes, if the program that you are watching provides AC3 only. This option is recommended when you are using S/PDIF connection. 49 + Vu User Manual B. Language Selection [ i : MENU > Setup > System > Language] A variety of languages are available for the OSD of Vu+. C. Customization [ i : MENU > Setup > System > Customize] In this menu you will find various customization options and this menu can be displayed in three different formats: Simple, Intermediate, and Expert. 50 + Vu : Your Smart Linux TV Player + Vu User Manual NOTE : RED is for cancel and GREEN is OK. OK key of RCU is not working in this mode. Amongst the options given in this menu, the following ones are generally what you may need to know. 1 Recording always have priority YES option is used to set the recording to have a priority over any existing timer. If there occurs a conflict between a timer and a recording in progress, the recording has a priority over the timer. If you set this option at NO, you will be asked whether to switch to the service to record or not. 2 Margin before record (minutes) If you enter a number here, for example, 5, the recording will begin 5 minutes before the defined time. If it is "0", it means that the recording starts exactly at the defined time. This option comes in handy, just in case that a program starts earlier than the original schedule. 3 Margin after record If you enter a number here, for example, 5, the recording will stop 5 minutes after the defined time. If it is "0", it means that the recording stops exactly at the defined time. This option comes in handy, just in case that a program ends later than the original schedule. 51 + Vu User Manual 4 Show Message when Recording starts If you set this option of YES, a message saying that a record has started appears as below. 5 Enable multiple bouquets If you set this option at YES, it will enable multiple bouquets.

Please wait patiently until the system reboots with a newly selected Skin. 2-3. Checking CAM [ i : MENU > Setup > Common Interface] To be able to watch CAS channels, you need to have a proper CAM and a Smartcard. Vu+ is integrated with two Common Interface slots. If you have two CAM modules and keep them inserted in your Vu+, it will reduce the trouble of changing CAM. Please refer to the page 9~10. If you have inserted one or two CAMs, you can check the information of the inserted CAMs, through this menu as below: 56 + Vu : Your Smart Linux TV Player + Vu User Manual 2-4. Parental Control [ i : MENU > Setup > Parental Control] If you want to prevent certain channels from being accessed by others, you can do so using this menu. 1 Go to Parental Control menu by pressing MENU > Setup > Parental Control. 2 Set the parental control option at YES using LEFT/RIGHT key. The menu will change as below. 57 + Vu User Manual Protect setup If you set this option at YES, you will be asked to enter PIN code when you enter this Parental setup menu. Change setup pin If you want to change the existing PIN code for Parental setup, you can do so using this menu. You need to enter a new PIN code twice. Protect services You need to set this option at YES, if you want to lock certain channels with PIN code. Parental control type This option will be activated only if you set Protect services at YES. Here there are two options: - White list : This option is used to block all channels except those channels in the parental control list. - Black list : This option is used to block only those channels included in the parental control list. Change service pin Here you can define a PIN code required to change services to be included in the parental control list. NOTE: PIN code here is used for Change service and thus you are recommended to use a PIN code different from that used for Protect services. 58 + Vu : Your Smart Linux TV Player + Vu User Manual Edit service list Here you can add services that you want to lock with PIN code. Services will be arranged in the alphabetical order and you can select an alphabet to enter into the list where you can find the channel that you want to lock.

Copyright - GNU GPL GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE Version 2, June 1991 Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc. 51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301, USA Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this license document, but changing it is not allowed. Preamble The licenses for most software are designed to take away your freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free software-to make sure the software is free for all its users. This General Public License applies to most of the Free Software Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by the GNU Lesser General Public License instead.) You can apply it to your programs, too. When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things. To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights. These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it. For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source code. And you must show them these terms so they know their rights. We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and (2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the software. Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free software. If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original authors' reputations. Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software patents. We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the program proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all. The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modification follow. TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION 0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed under the terms of this General Public License. The "Program", below, refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program" means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in the term "modification".) Each licensee is addressed as "you". 63 + Vu User Manual Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the Program (independent of having been made by running the Program). Whether that is true depends on what the Program does. 1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty; and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License along with the Program. You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee. 2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions: a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices stating that you changed the files and the date of any change. b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third parties under the terms of this License. c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively when run, you must cause it, when started running for such interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this License. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on the Program is not required to print an announcement.) These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program, and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it. Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or collective works based on the Program. In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under the scope of this License. 3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it, under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following: a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or, b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or, 64 + Vu : Your Smart Linux TV Player + Vu User Manual c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you received the program in object code or executable form with such an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.) The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for making modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to control compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a special exception, the source code distributed need not include anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component itself accompanies the executable. If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy the source code from the same place counts as distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not compelled to copy the source along with the object code. 4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License. However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance. 5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or distribute the Program or its derivative works. These actions are prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying the Program or works based on it. 6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein. You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to this License. 7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues), conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to refrain entirely from distribution of the Program. If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other circumstances. It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the integrity of the free software distribution system, which is implemented by public license practices. Many people have made generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed through that system in reliance on consistent application of that system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot impose that choice. This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to be a consequence of the rest of this License. 65 + Vu User Manual 8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the original copyright holder who places the Program under this License may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates the limitation as if written in the body of this License. 9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of the General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns. Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions either of that version or of any later version published by the Free Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software Foundation. 10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally. NO WARRANTY 11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION. 12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

Troubleshooting Before you contact your local service center, please read the following tips carefully. NOTE : if the antenna is covered with snow or the RF signal is weakened by heavy rain, the quality of audio and video may become temporarily poor. If you experience poor audio and video quality due to bad weather conditions, please check if your satellite antenna is oriented in the original direction. And see if it is covered by snow. Also, check if your LNB is not damaged. 1. No video on TV • Check • Check • Check • Check • Check first if the product is powered on and in operation mode. if the video cable is properly connected between TV and Vu+. if the satellite cable is properly connected to Vu+. if the selected channel is currently on air. if the selected channel is encrypted and if you have a corresponding access smartcard. 2. Problem with audio quality • Check • Check • Check • Check if your audio cable is connected correctly. the volume level of your TV and the product. if the product or TV is on mute. the audio option if it is correctly selected for the program that you are currently watching. 3. Remote control problem • Check if the batteries are correctly mounted. • If your remote control has been used for long, change • Point the remote control directly toward the product. • Make sure that nothing blocks the front panel display. the batteries. 4. Channel search problem • Make sure if tuner configurations are all correctly made. • Check if the antenna cable(s) are properly connected. 5. Encrypted channel viewing problem • Check if you have the appropriate Smartcard and/or CAM. • Take the Smartcard and CAM out and re-insert them to re-initialize. • Check if your system correctly detects the smartcard and CAM. 6. Recording problem • Check • Check if the HDD has a sufficient space for recording. if there is a conflict between recording timer. 7. Noise • Vu+ has an integrated FAN. This may create a noise but is inevitable to make sure the safety of the product. • Also, when HDD is running, you may hear a noise. 68 + Vu : Your Smart Linux TV Player + Vu User Manual VIII. Glossary 8PSK 8-PSK is usually the highest order PSK constellation deployed. With more than 8 phases, the error-rate becomes too high and there are better, though more complex, modulations available such as quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM). Although any number of phases may be used, the fact that the constellation must usually deal with binary data means that the number of symbols is usually a power of 2 — this allows an equal number of bits-per-symbol. CAM Conditional Access Module is an electronic device, usually incorporating a slot for a smart card, which equips an Integrated Digital Television or set-top box with the appropriate hardware facility to view conditional access content that has been encrypted using a conditional access system. They are normally used with direct broadcast satellite (DBS) services. Composite Video Composite video is the format of an analog television (picture only) signal before it is combined with a sound signal and modulated onto an RF carrier. Composite video is often designated by the CVBS acronym, meaning "Color, Video, Blank and Sync". In German (with PAL being a German invention by Telefunken's Walter Bruch) the abbreviation FBAS (Farbe-Bild-Austastung-Synchron) means the same. It is usually in standard formats such as NTSC, PAL, and SECAM. It is a composite of three source signals called Y, U and V (together referred to as YUV) with sync pulses. Y represents the brightness or luminance of the picture and includes synchronizing pulses, so that by itself it could be displayed as a monochrome picture. U and V represent hue and saturation or chrominance; between them they carry the color information. They are first modulated on two orthogonal phases of a color carrier signal to form a signal called the chrominance. Y and UV are then combined. Since Y is a baseband signal and UV has been mixed with a carrier, this addition is equivalent to frequency-division multiplexing. Conax Conditional Access System One of the Conditional Access Systems by Conax, based in Oslo, Norway. Several companies provide competing Conditional Access Systems; Irdeto Access, Nagravision, Conax, Viaccess, Verimatrix and NDS are among the most commonly used CAS systems. DiSEqC Stands for Digital Satellite Equipment Control. It is a special communication protocol for use between a satellite receiver and a device such as a multi-dish switch or a small dish antenna rotor. DiSEqC was developed by European satellite provider Eutelsat, which now acts as the standards agency for the protocol. Dolby Digital Dolby Digital is the common version containing up to six discrete channels of sound. The most elaborate mode in common usage involves five channels for normal-range speakers (20 Hz – 20,000 Hz) (right front, center, left front, right rear and left rear) and one channel (20 Hz – 120 Hz allotted audio) for the subwoofer driven low-frequency effects. Mono and stereo modes are also supported. AC-3 supports audio sample-rates up to 48 kHz. * Dolby Digital * DD (an abbreviation for Dolby Digital, often combined with channel count; for instance, DD 2.0, DD 5.1) * AC-3 (Audio Codec 3, Advanced Codec 3, Acoustic Coder 3. 69 + Vu User Manual EPG Electronic Program Guide is a digital guide to scheduled broadcast television or radio programs, typically displayed on-screen with functions allowing a viewer to navigate, select, and discover content by time, title, channel, genre, etc. by use of their remote control, a keyboard, or other input devices such as a phone keypad. Content can also be scheduled for future recording by a personal video recorder (PVR). The on-screen information may be delivered by a dedicated channel or assembled by the receiving equipment from information sent by each program channel. eSATA A variant of SATA meant for external connectivity with the following characteristics: * Minimum transmit potential: Range is 500–600 mV. * Minimum receive potential: Range is 240–600 mV. * Identical protocol and logical signaling (link/transport-layer and above), allowing native SATA devices to be deployed in external enclosures with minimal modification. FEC Stands for Forward Error Correction. This is a system of error control for data transmission, whereby the sender adds redundant data to its messages, also known as an error-correction code. This allows the receiver to detect and correct errors (within some bound) without the need to ask the sender for additional data. The advantages of forward error correction are that a back-channel is not required and retransmission of data can often be avoided (at the cost of higher bandwidth requirements, on average). HDMI Stands for High-Definition Multimedia Interface. It is a compact audio/video interface for transmitting uncompressed digital data. HDMI connects digital audio/ video sources—such as set-top boxes, Blu-ray Disc players, personal computers (PCs), video game consoles (such as the PlayStation 3 and some models of Xbox 360), and AV receivers—to compatible digital audio devices, computer monitors, and digital televisions. As an uncompressed connection, HDMI is independent of the various digital television standards used by individual devices, such as ATSC and DVB, as these are encapsulations of compressed MPEG video streams (which can be decoded and output as an uncompressed video stream on HDMI). LNB Stands for Low-Noise Block converter. This is the (receiving, or downlink) antenna of what is commonly called the parabolic satellite dish commonly used for satellite TV reception. The LNB is usually fixed on or in the satellite dish. The purpose of the LNB is to take a wide block (or band) of relatively high frequencies, amplify and convert them to similar signals carried at a much lower frequency (called intermediate frequency or IF). These lower frequencies travel through cables with much less attenuation of the signal, so there is much more signal left on the satellite receiver end of the cable. It is also much easier and cheaper to design electronic circuits to operate at these lower frequencies, rather than the very high frequencies of satellite transmission. PID Stands for Packet Identifier. This is a set of numbers identifying stream packets contained within a single data stream Polarization 70 + The orientation of the electrical and magnetic fields of a signal. Satellites use mainly vertical and horizontal polarization. Vu : Your Smart Linux TV Player + Vu User Manual S/PDIF Stands for Sony/Philips Digital Interconnect Format. A common use for the S/PDIF interface is to carry compressed digital audio as defined by the standard IEC 61937. This mode is used to connect the output of a DVD player to a home theater receiver that supports Dolby Digital or DTS surround sound. Another common use is to carry uncompressed digital audio from a CD player to a receiver. This specification also allows for the coupling of personal computer digital sound (if equipped) via optical or coax to Dolby or DTS capable receivers. SCART A French-originated standard and associated 21-pin connector for connecting audio-visual (AV) equipment together. SCART is one of the most common method of connecting audio-visual equipment together. However, transferring analogue standard-definition content, SCART is becoming obsolete with the introduction of new digital standards such as HDMI, which can also carry high-definition content and multichannel audio. Smartcard A pocket-sized card with embedded Integrated Circuits which can process data. It can receive input which is processed and delivered as an output. The card may embed a hologram to avoid counterfeiting. It is used for accessing encrypted TV channels or services. Teletext A television information retrieval service developed in the United Kingdom in the early 1970s. It offers a range of text-based information, typically including national, international and sporting news, weather and TV schedules. Subtitle (or closed captioning) information is also transmitted in the teletext signal, typically on page 888 or 777. Xcrypt One of the Conditional Access Systems by Xcrypt. A color space used in video electronics, in particular in reference to component video cables. YPbPr is the analog version of the YCBCR color space; the two are numerically equivalent, but YPBPR is designed for use in analog systems whereas YCBCR is intended for digital video.YPbPr is commonly called "component video", but this is a misnomer, as there are many other types of component video (mostly RGB with sync either on green or one or two separate signals). YPbPr YPbPr is converted from the RGB video signal, which is split into three components, Y, PB, and PR. * Y carries luma (brightness) and sync information. * PB carries the difference between blue and luma (B - Y). * PR carries the difference between red and luma (R - Y). Sending a green signal would be redundant, as it can be derived using the blue, red and luma information. 71

Can Paul Ryan Push Republicans to Prioritize Poverty?
The House speaker has put the issue atop his agenda, but he'll first have to overcome apathy within his party.
Consider what cocktail of ketamine, magic mushrooms, peyote, vodka, and the snorted ashes of a wad of $1000 bills can lead you to write that article. Or, of course, a cushy career.

Orlando is an 80-year-old Mexican with great knowledge about geography and the mountains all over the world, clearly a very educated man. Now Orlando just waits in the shade for his next customers—in exchange for free food and lodging he sold gasoline for a local lady. Using his mouth and a hose, he transferred the fuel into the cars that stopped by after realizing that fuel stations were a rarity on this particular road.
We saw his eyes gleam when we told him about our trip biking around the world, but our heart broke when he coughed after every fill-up. A wrongly spelled 'Cevende Gasolina' sign hung near the road behind him (Se vende Gasolina = Gas for sale).
Though Dutchman Harry Kikstra has a business background, he turned into a full-time adventurer and photographer a decade ago. He has climbed the seven summits—the highest peaks of every continent—and his website 7summits.com, where he offers information and statistics as well as fully organized expeditions, is well-known. Harry also runs a portal site for adventure cyclists called BikeTravellers, where bikers can create their own free blog. He has written four books (three English guidebooks and one Dutch). His photo-blog ExposedPlanet has received many positive reviews, and his photos have been published all over the world, including in National Geographic Adventure U.S., Panorama & Penthouse NL, Outdoor Australia, Getaway South Africa, Reader's Digest, and many more. Since summer 2008, Harry has been busy cycling from Prudhoe Bay, Alaska, to the other end of the Americas at Ushuaia, Argentina, passing through all the countries on the continents. During this three-year-long trip (more than 20,000 miles) he is collecting portraits and stories of "1,000 Americans," some of which have been published on his blog WorldonaBike next to his other stories and collections of thousands of images from his travels. Some of the people portrayed in the 1,000 Americans series reflect time spent, whether it be many days or just a few seconds. Some told him their life stories, others just stared quietly. Some are famous, most are just "regular" people, but all are special in their own ways. Since these images were taken, life has continued: some married, some became parents, some divorced, and some passed away. But it is a lasting testament to the diversity of America. Harry's pictures are for sale through ExposedPlanet.com, and after the cycling expedition has ended his moving portraits and unique stories will be published in a book. Away Travel Blog will be showcasing just a few of the diverse Americans he has come across on his journeys.

USF Home > College of Arts and Sciences > Department of Anthropology
At the M.A. level, the Archaeology Track focuses on coursework in archaeological method and theory that prepares students for careers in cultural resource management or with public or private agencies and museums responsible for managing archaeological resources. For many years, USF has been the leader in training students for professional archaeological and heritage positions in the state of Florida, and our alumni are found in key roles across the state and nation. In addition, many M.A. graduates go on to further study in doctoral programs at USF and elsewhere.
At the Ph.D. level, the track provides advanced training and research in applied archaeological anthropology, offering preparation for both academic and practicing positions. Most doctoral students are able to gain teaching experience, frequently as instructors for their own course sections.
In both tracks, students develop research projects across a wide range of topics and geographic areas, especially in Florida and the Southeast, Central and South America, the Caribbean, and Europe. For a summary of course requirements and associated faculty: click here
To complement this track, we offer optional concentrations in Archaeological and Forensic Sciences, Cultural Resource Management, and Heritage Studies, in which students at both levels may choose to take classes that focus on the practical management and analysis of archaeological and cultural resources.

A Moral Imperative: Hillary Clinton Must Not be Elected!
By John Lillpop
In this, the strangest, least fathomable presidential election cycle in memory, the untoward candidacy of Hillary Rodham Clinton MUST be rejected by the American people.
No doubt some naïve voters, under the influence of Democrat Party propaganda and outright deceit, will argue that that Clinton, whose disapproval numbers consistently hover around 50 percent, is just an assertive, intelligent and educated woman pursuing her fair share of the American dream in a world unjustly biased toward men and against women of talent and ability who covet power.
Such warped thinking may cause otherwise reasonable folks to assert that Hillary Clinton is an innocent victim of a right- wing conspiracy; said conspiracy choreographed to deny the former First Lady, US Senator, and Secretary of State, her birthright, including the right to be crowned and celebrated as the first US president in possession of a uterus and other biological manifestations found only in females.
They will argue that those who oppose Hillary are sexist bigots; while ignoring the fact that supporting Hillary simply because of her gender is equally bigoted!
In what is a largely emotional issue, one can only hope that Truth will out.
With that hope in mind, observe, please, the following truths:
Hillary must NOT be elected because:
- She is an elitist liar, and tyrannical socialist who lives in the false belief that she is owed the presidency because of her gender;
- Her incompetence and corruption facilitated the slaughter of four American diplomats in Benghazi, and cover- up of same, which led to the fraudulent reelection of Barack Obama and subsequent harm to the American people as a result;
- She professes to be a champion of the little guy/underdog and all in for the oppressed and poor, when, in fact, she grovels at the feet of big banks and moneyed Wall Street barons; a position which has made her "obscenely rich" and a conspicuous member of those whose wealth and power place them among the evil and detestable 1 percent;
- Her pursuit of profit through the Clinton Foundation causes her to court foreign leaders who abuse and enslave women as a routine matter of policy, in contradiction of her boastful claims to be an effective global activist on behalf of feminism;
- She lied unashamedly about landing under sniper fire in Bosnia to puff up her dubious "ready on day one" credentials, when, in fact, she was greeted by young girls bearing flowers;
- She ridiculed decent American women who "Stand by Your Man," even though she stood by Bill Clinton as he engaged in countless episodes of promiscuity and adultery, including a sultry affair with an intern right under Hillary's nose in the White House;
- She tolerated Bill's sexual dalliances with Gennifer Flowers, Kathleen Willey, Paula Jones, Monica Lewinsky and all the rest, not out of respect or love for the presidency or the fallen man, but because leaving Slick Willie would have forced her to abandon all the power, fame, and fortune that accrues to those privileged fortunate enough to be First Lady;
- She pretends that being a tough-minded, bossy feminist in pant suits qualifies her to be President of The United States, when, in fact, all of her success is the direct result of her marriage to Bill Clinton;
She rails against "obscene" profits by the oil industry and Wall Street while she and her lying husband have become obscenely rich by pawning off absurd trite as thoughtful and insightful revelations about their years in the White House.
In short, Hillary Clinton must not be elected because of her dishonesty, corruption, evil lust for fortune and power, and abuse of simple, honest principals and people, AND
Because she is a disgusting you-know-what!!!!!

Good night and good luck
Good Night and Good Luck is a 2005 film written and co directed by Georges Clooney and
Grant Heslov. "Good Night and Good Luck" is a direct quote from the main personage of the film who is used to conclude is broadcast by these words. He probably say good luck ad he worried for the next generation coming soon in this world, even a journalist can't know the reality ofthe world he has to describe so he may wonder what about us, simple spectators of what happen.
We all know that George Clooney is a fervent defender of the civil rights and against the war in Iraq and by this way against the policy of George Bush. Thus we can think that this film is also a mean to criticize the numerous mistakes made by his president during the last five years. In others wordshis involvement into Iraq War, his opposition against Kyoto protocol and in 2005 in his failure of activate the emergency during Hurricane Katrina. Everything is implicit but the parallel with the recent world are obvious.
In this film he wants to make the audience aware of how difficult the job of journalist is and by top everything wants to make us feeling the mood of the 1950's, the end of WorldWar II, beginning of Cold War and the McCarthyism. To put it in a nutshell it is a commentary on the contemporary political and journalistic climate. This film was also a great opportunity for George Clooney to honour his father who was a journalist.
The film covers the period during which David Strahaim played the part of Edward Murrow, a journalist of the CBS (Columbia Broadcasting System)television which was and still is one of the most important American radio and television network fight against Senator McCarthy of the Wisconsin in his weekly show named See It Now. It is a combat versus the techniques employed by McCarthy in his struggle of the communism. As an honest and objective journalist Murrow shows through is broadcast some victims and comments it in an honourable way.The most important event that will marks a turn in the film is when Murrow and his team learn about the Lieutenant Milo Radulovich. Indeed the former one had been drummed out the Army Air Force as some members of his family were suspected to be closed to the communism party as his father has been seen reading a Serb newspaper thus a risk for the nation according to McCarthy but one more time withoutany proof.
Then two Air Force Officers visit George Clooney as Fred Friendly, co-producer with Murrow of the broadcast See It Now on which is planned to project a report about Radulovitch (Oct 20-1953). These two officers want to pressure Friendly concerning this report but confident of his ideas he will not give up: neither they nor him have proofs of such a decision so Friendly will expose thefacts.
As a result one of the weightiest sponsors Alcoa, a company which produces aluminium and closed to the contemporary government refuses to fund such broadcast. Friendly and his team will now finance their show on their own. This point is very similar to a French channel owning by an important businessman who played a role in the economy. (Bouygues owns about 40% of TF1's capital).Murrow which is actually the main personage of the film, in a certain way McCarthy as well, makes the audience very attentive to what he is saying; he speaks in a very easy way, in "a resonant, godly rumble" and has powerful influence in his form of sentence. Everybody from bottom to top of the social ladder was able to understand at that time.
In this film, the audience can also feel a Kafkaïenatmosphere. Indeed Good Night and Good Luck is almost set in a unique place: the CBS's office. That creates a sentiment of pressure, detention in which people were afraid of going out at that time. Few sequence are shoot in a pub, which is one more time an inside place and also a court. This idea of pressure and detention is emphasize with the black and white of the film, it is very strange nowadays...

It's a stunning Earth Day here in New York! Today my book is visiting Here, There and Everywhere where Claudia Heitler is giving away not one but TWO signed copies of "This Book Was a Tree!" Politics, economics, health, science—HTE is the place to go for global news for kids—spanning diverse fields and subjects, HTE addresses current issues in bite-sized pieces for smallish people. Check out Claudia's site HERE where you'll find her take on making seed bombs (and enter the GIVEAWAY!).
Tonight I'll celebrate Earth Day HERE. I would love to see you, but if you are far far away, please celebrate in your own special way. And remember this: Each day, what you do matters. A big ruckus can be generated from a simple purposeful act—a little thing, like scattering small seeds—made by someone just like you. An idea or behavior can move through the world like tow tapping at a scat-singing convention, starting with just a few pit-a-pats of an idea, and spreading rapidly out of control. Each of us is capable of thoughtful direct actions, and we usually greatly underestimate our abilities. We all have something to say. We all have feet to move. We all can give something of ourselves. We all have seeds to scatter. That's how great rolling prairies of ideas are grown.

Uganda's Jacob Araptany had one nasty fall in the 3,000m steeplechase final #athletics #Rio2016 pic.twitter.com/INbrbfx2rT
— Alex Terrell (@alxterrell) August 17, 2016
I know Olympians don't think this way, but if we're being honest, anyone who goes face first into the hurdle probably wasn't looking at the most realistic shot at gold here from the get go, so I can't sit here and say he "lost out on the gold" and be totally serious about it. But there's something about scrapping your face on the hurdle after you tripped and fell into it in front of the entire world that you just don't get over as an athlete. That's the track and field version of Sanchez's butt fumble. This guy will never be the same. He's Austin Powers when he lost his mojo. White Goodman when he ate himself to death after loosing to Average Joe's. Just a shell of himself. Once a proud steeplechaser from the country of Uganda, soon enough he'll be sitting in bars watching his old highlight films screaming curse words at the tvs in between sexually harassing the bartender and shots of rail bourbon. It's a long dark road for these types of athletes. Seen it a thousand times.
