DVB Carrier
When the DVB Carrier Menu Tool Bar item is selected, a submenu page appears which provides menu items relating
to the setup and maintenance of the incoming satellite feed (RF carriers and LNB settings) and (optional) Conditional
Access Controls. The RF Carriers and LNB settings are described in the following sections, the Conditional Access
Controls in Appendix D.
DVB Carrier Definitions
This submenu allows you to set the parameters for the 2 DVB Carriers, which can be received by the RF front end. A
DVB Carrier Status page similar to Figure 2- 5 will be displayed when the DVB Carrier Definitions submenu item is
selected. The meaning of each carrier parameter is explained under the Carrier Edit page (Figure 2- 6). In this
example the receiver is locked to a carrier at 970 MHz, 27500 ks/s, at Auto Viterbi rate. The NetManager2 NCC PID
(described later in this chapter) is at PID decimal # 4151 (Hex 1037). The carrier lock status is shown by the green
lettering of the Carrier A title.
Aside from the Common Menu Items, the following menu items are available:

Figure 2- 5. The current status of both carrier A and B will always be displayed. The carrier
that the receiver is locked to will have its title displayed in green letters and a message below
the title will appear (in Figure 2- 5, the message is “Locked to Carrier A”).
Edit Carrier <X> Selecting this button will enter the Carrier Edit page for the DVB Carrier selected, as shown in
Figure 2- 6. Each edit field is described after the figure.
