Introduction
The SRP-2300 digital receiver is fully compliant with the inter-
national Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB) standard, and thus
is able to receive digital broadcasts of that standard. For its
operation you need an antenna, which must be installed ap-
propriately.
NOTE
In general we equate a channel with a frequency. However,
unlike analogue broadcasts, digital broadcasts are not all
assigned to their own frequencies; instead, multiple televi-
sion broadcasts are transmitted through a single frequency.
The frequency in digital broadcasting is usually called trans-
ponder or multiplex. To reduce confusion in this manual,
the word service is preferably used than channel as a term
to indicate one television or radio broadcast.
The SRP-2300 also offers the HbbTV (Hybrid Broadcast Broad-
band TV) platform that combines TV services via broadcast
with services via broadband. With this digital receiver adopt-
ing this integrated platform for broadcast and broadband
services, you can enjoy high quality digital broadcast and
seamless on-line streaming of web contents at the same time.
