A. The autoroll function automatically inputs the latest DN and Bev keys into your receiver whenever they change....its a function that is added to all bins, but your receiver needs U to tell it to accept this feature, by doing a few specific simple steps.. ......this rolling and inputting of new keys process may take up to 1 hour and many will see "waiting for picture message"...BE Patient!.....

Ocassionally DN and Bev will "morph" keys when changing the akeys...by this "morphing", DN and Bev fake like they are sending new fake keys, which your receiver will sometimes not understand and will try to change to these non existent "fake" keys and keep continoulsy for hours keep rolling..

To remedy this continous autoroll problem, if U KNOW U have the correct keys (double/triple check), then U must shut OFF the Autorolls...leave keycode On...manually input the latest keys...and then reset the receiver by back switch (turn OFF for 3-4 minutes, then back ON)...if U do NOT have a BACK switch, then UNPLUG receiver for a of couple minutes..    

Q. HD FTA Radio?

A. HD Radio is the registered trademark for the in-band on-channel (IBOC) technology selected by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in 2002 for terrestrial digital audio broadcasting in the United States. The IBOC technology was developed by iBiquity Digital Corporation, and it allows stations to simulcast HE-AAC-quality compressed digital audio and traditional analog audio, without changing to new frequency bands. The specification for this standard offers two operating modes: "All Digital" and "Hybrid Digital". According to iBiquity, the name "HD Radio" is simply iBiquity's brand for its digital radio technology, however according to the HD Radio Alliance the HD means Hybrid Digital.

Q. What is the difference between LNB and LNBF?

A. In the early days of C band, the two most critical components of a satellite system were the downconverter and the LNA, or Low Noise Amplifier. The next generation of systems went from the single conversion downconverters to block downconversion. The LNA and block converter were joined either by a piece of low loss coax or an "N connector" coupler. A way to counter the loss between the LNA and the downconverter led to the joining of those two devices, called a Low Noise Block converter (LNB). A waveguide is a metal channel that "guides" the signal from the opening at the mouth of the feedhorn to the pickup probes in the throat of the LNB. Just like coax, waveguides can be lossy, so a way was developed to counter this loss by joining the LNB together with the feedhorn into a single unit. This is what we know today as an LNBF, or Low Noise Block converter Feed.

Q. What is High-definition (HD) video?

A.  It generally refers to any video system of higher resolution than standard-definition (SD) video, most commonly at display resolutions of 1280×720 (720p) or 1920×1080 (1080i or 1080p). This article discusses the general concepts of high-definition video, as opposed to its specific applications in television broadcast (HDTV), video recording formats (HDCAM, HDCAM-SR, DVCPRO HD, D5 HD, XDCAM HD, HDV and AVCHD), optical disc delivery systems (Blu-ray Disc and HD DVD) and the video tape format D-VHS.
