emphasis was on interactive TV and internet services. George Cole reports
vice providers and NOC being terrestrial, either via tele-

Users require a PC equipped with a DVB/MPEG-2 card
and a 50cm dish with a universal LNB. Those who want
to be able to receive both Astra-Net and satellite TV ser-
vices require a twin universal LNB.
The PC requirement is relatively modest: a 90MHz

The Astra-Net PC card is supplied with software for
the installation and positioning of the dish, and several

SHOW REPORT
automatically finds the scene on the tape.

The Video Browser makes use of the fact that today's digi-
tal TV STBs are really powerful computers, with a processor,
memory and an operating system. The Video Browser makes
use of the operating system, employing tape positioning and
indexing algorithms to control a VCR's functions. These
algorithms can be used to create a unique signature database
for each tape. The video database could be stored in the STB's
memory: the database size and the number of tapes that can be
indexed in this way depends on the amount of memory allo-
cated to this purpose.
If memory space is limited, a cut -down version of the
database could be stored inside the box, with the thumbprints
held on tape. But in practice relatively little memory space

signals via separate LNBs for say Astra and Hot Bird. The

In Conclusion
I hope that this article has succeeded in explaining some
of the odd little peculiarities we all encounter from time
to time. Sometimes there's only a minor fault: a little bit
of patterning or a slightly grainy picture. It's tempting to
shrug your shoulders and hope that the customer won't
notice, especially if you have no idea what the cause
might be. Unfortunately a minor fault can turn into a
major one as soon as your back is turned.
How much better to get it right in the first place!
Diagnosing the cause of this sort of thing is usually fair-
ly simple, for example by disconnecting each possible
source of interference in turn.
As the satellite and aerial installation business
becomes ever more complicated, competent installers

It's important that the supply for the two quad switch

power supply for this purpose. The quad IC outputs go
low or unstable when the supply is removed, with the
