General information
The following describes the basic functions of your Mediamaster that can be used
while watching satellite TV or listening to satellite radio.
Some of the functions described here are dependent on the Service Provider
and can only be used if they are included in the transmitted programme in-
formation.
Please note that during the Channel Search procedure, the Mediamaster may
download a large number of channels. This may include channels from various
Service Providers, including those to which you do not have access unless you have
a smart card from one of those Service Providers.
If you select a programme to which you do not have access, you will see a mes-
sage on the screen. This message may vary depending on the Service Provider and
the smart card/CA Module that you are using.
In addition to the normal functions such as switching the Mediamaster in/out of
standby mode, changing the volume etc, there are other useful functions which
will be explained in this part of the manual.
You can always exit a menu at any time, without affecting any settings, by press-
ing back.
If you are listening to a radio station and do not press any buttons on the remote
control, the picture fades after 2 minutes.
Programme information
Every time you change channels, you will receive programme information for a
few seconds. (In the “User preferences” menu of the Control folder, you can
select the time period during which this information is shown.)
The information may include:
The current time.
A channel list.
The channel number and name.
The names of the current and next programmes.

shown.
