Product Description: The TerraTec S7 is a handy USB box with integrated receiver for satellite television (DVB-S2 and
DVB-S) as well as radio. Simply connect it to a free USB 2.0 port, and the discreet box transforms
notebook, laptop and desktop computers into a full-function television with full HDTV support
(including Dolby Digital)* and many additional features. Software for Windows and Mac computers
allows operation on all computers. Extensive accessories with a remote control and power adapter
are included in the shipping package.
The product is ideal for the installer/service technician that installs the SAILOR 60 & SAILOR 90
Satellite TV antennas because he can test and prove that the antennas are working well without the
need to have a satellite receiver and television.
The Terratec S7 has a slot supporting CI-card (Common Interface) in which you can insert CI-cards
supporting different encryption standards such as:
•BISS
•Conax
•Digicipher
•Irdeto
•Nagravision
•PowerVu
•Viaccess
•Videocipher
•VideoGuard
In the CI-card a CA-module (Conditional Access Module) from a certain service provider can be
inserted in order to watch pay TV channels.
