IPTV Operator Software System – Part 1
Professional software for IPTV operatorsThomas Haring
NetUP IPTV Combine 4x & Amino AmiNET130M
• After having discussed the streaming function of the NetUP IPTV
Combine 4x in TELE-satellite issue 10-11/2010 it is now time to have
a closer look at all the features required to create a user-friendly
OSD (on-screen display) for customers and to help them use all IPTV
functions on the one
hand, as well as to assist
operators in maintaining
full control over what
type of content is
available to end users,
and what price they
have to pay.
IPTV Combine 4x from NetUP – the core of the IPTV network presented in this report.
The IPTV Combine 4x was the focus of an in-depth test report in TELE-satellite issue 10-11/2010.

Middleware – interface between end user and IPTV networkMiddleware is a software
solution which takes care of
presenting IPTV content in
a visually pleasing way to
customers of IPTV opera-
tors. It makes sure the right
channels find their way into
the channel list, it creates a
user-friendly EPG (electronic
program guide) and – last
but by no means least – it
packages all information into
a neat OSD system on the
IPTV receiver.
Generally, there are two
types of middleware that can
Basic configuration of the IPTV Combine 4x1. The United Control Center is an integrated feature of the IPTV Combine 4x server and can be directly downloaded from there2. All IPTV receivers in the network can be provided with software updates from the central firmware update server3. Various OSD themes (skins) can be created, edited and saved on the IPTV server4. IPTV operators can decide to have OSD texts translated into any required language5. A web interface is available to launch, quit and adjust all IPTV Combine 4x services6. The IPTV Combine 4x boasts 1TB of internal hard disk capacity to store VOD and nVOD content

be used: The more simple version consists of the web server which creates and provides HTML pages and JavaScript applications, which in turn are made available to IPTV receivers which then display all cor-responding information on the end users‘ screens. In such a system the middle-ware takes over the role of
there is the server end (IPTV Combine 4x Server) which provides all required infor-mation. And then there is the client end (IPTV receiver) which receives this infor-mation, processes all data and creates a graphic user-interface. As these two com-ponents need to work very closely with each other all of the time, middleware and

web server, while the IPTV box at the client end acts as web browser. While this is a system that can be set up and implemented easily, it does not serve any commer-cial purpose, as IPTV opera-tors have no billing option and no way of controlling access to content.
The second middleware category is more complex, but at the same time more versatile and much more for useful as a business appli-cation. It is based on IPTV boxes that are not only capa-ble of displaying received information, but can also communicate with the mid-dleware so that they cannot only create a nice OSD for end users, but also assist in billing, content and cost con-
trol as well as marketing.Every time an IPTV network
is set up to make money you need extended middleware, such as the IPTV Combine 4x from Russian company NetUP. The receiver compo-nent of the NetUP middle-ware is written in C++, runs directly on the IPTV receiver and therefore allows lag-free use of all features, even in
connection with a high-def-
inition on-screen display,
which is an important aspect
these days and – in particu-
lar – in future.
MiddlewareStrictly speaking, the
NetUP Combine 4x middle-
ware consists of two dis-
tinct components: For one,
IPTV box must be compatible with each other. If the NetUP IPTV Combine 4x is the mid-dleware of choice operators can choose from a number of compatible IPTV boxes. For the purpose of this test report we have selected the AmiNET130M from Amino.
All features and configu-rations of the NetUP IPTV
Combine 4x are partly con-trolled via a web interface which is used to launch, activate, deactivate and set up individual services such as streaming, middleware, VOD, etc. More detailed set-tings of the middleware, the billing system and the video-on-demand system are accessed through the so-called United Control Center.

We already dealt with the
web interface in our first test
report in TELE-satellite issue
10-11/2010, and now we take
a closer look at the United
Control Center. It is basically
a Java application which –
thanks to this universal pro-
gramming language – can be
run on different platforms
such as MS Windows, Linux
or Apple, where it is used
to control the entire con-
tent management system.
The United Control Center
main menu is made up of
four elements: billing, mid-
dleware, nVOD (near video-
on-demand)/VOD and DRM
(digital rights management).
The last two elements, TVOD
(TV-on-demand) and DRM
are proprietary solutions of
NetUP, which were not part
of our test system and which
therefore cannot be evalu-
ated in this report.
With a simple click on
the middleware icon the
NetUP United Control Center
(UCC) opens up access to
media groups, media con-
tent and media streams. All
three items are intended
to add, remove or com-
bine media content. With
media groups it is possible
to group together different
media content (such as TV
channels, radio channels or
video-on-demand content) into packages. This allows creating a starter package, for example, which includes only limited content, or an extended package with full-range content.
In order to grasp the underlying logics of the NetUP IPTV system we have to put ourselves in the role of an IPTV operator. This begins with starting to think and act like a commercial operation. As most of us come from terrestrial or sat-ellite reception we are used to the fact that all content is always available to all users. Even if we‘re talking about subscription TV we simply obtain a smartcard and all of a sudden encrypted con-tent is available on screen
as well. IPTV is different in a fundamental way: Thanks to direct communication between end user and IPTV operator, complete with return channel, it would be a total waste of resources to send all content to all customers all of the time in the first place, only to then grant or restrict access (as is the case with terrestrial and satellite TV). Instead, IPTV operators create individual packages for a single cus-tomer or a certain group of customers. Let‘s take a hotel as an example: The hotel owner makes a certain range of basic TV and radio chan-nels available to all guests, the price of which is included in the room rate. Therefore, we use the middleware to group together all required
TV and radio channels by letting the system know the corresponding IP addresses and ports – after we have configured them via the web interface of the streaming component of the IPTV Com-bine 4x.
In order to simulate a real-world scenario we design a package with three HD channels, three SD channels as well as two radio chan-nels from two different sat-ellites. The IPTV Combine 4x is equipped with a total of four DVB/S2 tuners (see test report in TELE-satellite 10-11/2010) and so we are at liberty to select content from up to four different transpon-ders or satellite positions.
We then bundle these

eight channels into a pack-age labelled ‚Basic‘. Next, it is time to think about making money. To that end, we decide to create two additional packages, one with current movies, and the second with live sports coverage. The procedure is the same as for the ‚Basic‘ package, with configuring the individual TV channels using the web interface of the streaming server, before determining their IP addresses and ports using the UCC.
All these steps can be car-
ried out intuitively thanks to the excellent user interface of the United Control Center and the web interface. All options and functions are
more or less self-explan-atory, so that it‘s almost impossible to go wrong when setting up the system. It‘s even possible to add a chan-
nel’s logo and short station description apart from the channel name, which offers added value to end cus-tomers who are able to find

their preferred channel more quickly.
It goes without saying that the same is true for radio channels as well, and for video-on-demand content which can be stored on the IPTV Combine 4x‘s internal hard disk. Several hundred hours of video fit easily on the built-in 1TB hard disk. Stored content can be added to any package in the same way as a TV channel through the middleware. During spe-cial events (for example Olympic Games and the like) individual channels can be added for all to enjoy for a pre-set period of time, after which they will automatically disappear from the channel list again. This allows plan-ning ahead so that hotel staff (in our example) does not have to deal with technical changes and system mainte-nance under pressure.
In our test scenario we are looking at a professional IPTV system in a commer-cial framework, so that each IPTV channel also has to feature program informa-tion. After all, if hotel guests turn on their TV they want to know right away which event they are currently watching and whether or not there is anything on they would be interested in later that day. In order to implement this feature the NetUP IPTV Com-bine 4x offer two options. First, it is possible to take over program information for streamed channels right from the original provider via satellite, cable or DVB-T. This will also be the most reason-able and practical way to go in most situations.
In addition, no additional costs occur. If, however, a TV or radio channel that is streamed over the IPTV net-work does not supply pro-gram information, the IPTV
Combine 4x middleware also
allows adding EPG data man-
ually for each channel. When
we tried out both features
in our test every nook and
cranny seemed to work as
intended and as smoothly as
possible.
Now that we have set up all
basic functions of our virtual
IPTV network we continue
with looking at an appropri-
ate billing system for our
offering. Simply click on the
‚Billing‘ icon in the United
Control Center main menu
and you‘re right where you
need to be.
Billing For the sake of simplic-
ity, let‘s stick to our idea of
a major sports event that
should be made available at
a hotel through IPTV. Obvi-
ously, all IPTV receivers need
to be hooked up to the IPTV
server for such a distribution
network to work. This means
that in theory each receiver
has access to all of content,
unless access is restricted
by making use of the return
channel capability. The IPTV
Combine 4x billing feature is
based on the assumption that
each customer is entered in
the system with his or her
full name and has an individ-
ual customer account which
can be used to activate and
deactivate access to cer-
tain content on an individual
level. In our hotel setting, for
example, the ‚Basic‘ pack-
age would be available to all
guests without extra charge.
If hotel guests then decide
to watch additional channels
or content, they are able to
top up their personal account
at reception with an amount
of their choosing, let‘s say
USD 50. Reception staff uses
the NetUP IPTV Combine 4x
billing system to add that
amount to the correspond-
ing guest account so that
additional channels as well
as on-demand content are available to this guest until all credit has been used up. The IPTV Combine 4x even does currency conversions so that guests can be shown the current account credit in their own currency, if the hotel decides to implement this feature.
The final step is custom-ising the IPTV receiver in the guest‘s room, so that it actually offers and displays all content the guest has paid for and/or is autho-rised to watch. The obvious way would be using the indi-vidual box‘s MAC address or serial number, but once again NetUP has gone the extra mile and offers a bril-liant feature for generating an activation key for each client on the IPTV Combine 4x server. This activation key has to be entered in the IPTV receiver to obtain access to the IPTV network in the first place. At the same time, with this key the IPTV becomes an individually addressable and controllable IPTV recep-tion point, no matter where in the hotel it is located. This way the IPTV receiver is sent information about the current guest, the length of his or her stay at the hotel, and any available credit the guest has available. It is
even possible to unlock all channels for 24 hours after the guest‘s arrival and then lock extended channels again – hoping guests will want to keep watching the full range and pay for the service accordingly. If guests now choose to watch con-tent that is not available with the free ‚Basic‘ service they may simply use their remote control to select and acti-vate additional content using the in-room IPTV receiver, provided they have bought enough credit at recep-tion beforehand. Any credit used up for such extended content is automatically deducted from their account, with reception being able to monitor all transactions or even assist guests who might prefer to order content via phone rather than working with the IPTV receiver.
As far as the NetUP bill-ing system is concerned, we were just as impressed with all its features and ease of use as with the middleware options. Obviously, it takes a little time until you are able to use all tools to the fullest, but after only a short while everything seems as to be easy as ABC and in everyday use you‘ll most probably be in awe at how smoothly the system works.

VOD – Video On Demand and nVOD – near Video on DemandIn our first NetUP IPTV
Combine 4x test report we mentioned that the server is equipped with a 1TB internal hard disk with enough capac-ity to store several hundred hours of video content. The files need to be in transport stream format (MPEG-2 or H.264) in SD or HD reso-lutions and can be added to packages much like TV channels. If required, differ-ent on-demand content can even be offered at differ-ent prices. The middleware menu of the UCC is used
12. Every single IPTV receiver across the entire network can be individually addressed and customised as required13. An activation code is required so that an IPTV box can become a fully authorised member of the IPTV network14. nVOD content can be easily organised and made available via the UCC OSD of the IPTV receiver

to administer on-demand content. While video-on-demand is a fully customised service that makes available content individually for every single guest at a time of the guest‘s own choosing, nVOD (near video-on-demand) is a service that repeats certain content at pre-defined times in a loop, so that guests can watch a movie, for example, every full hour. This means that with nVOD guests are not in a position to determine the start time of an event – as opposed to true VOD. With nVOD, on the other hand, several guests use the same stream, using up less server and network capacity than true VOD. It makes perfect sense for operators to push nVOD over VOD by offering lower prices for nVOD, for example. The NetUP IPTV Combine 4x supports both nVOD and VOD and the UCC has a dedicated menu item for setting the start and end times of nVOD events.
Here, too, we were impressed at how versatile and user-friendly the NetUP system behaves. It didn‘t take us much longer than a couple of minutes to set up our in-house nVOD system and store a number of cur-rent movies on the IPTV Combine 4x‘s built-in hard disk. The system can process up to 50 simultaneous video-on-demand streams, which means that in large set-ups using nVOD instead of VOD may be a wise move in order not to push IPTV network capacities to the limit. Inci-dentally, video-on-demand content can be transferred to the IPTV Combine 4x from any PC using an FTP client.
Customising the IPTV receiver to individual requirementsAll user information at the
client end is displayed on screen using an OSD system. NetUP provides three OSD skins (themes): HD, SD and simplified SD. IPTV opera-tors can freely choose the skin that best fits their pur-pose and are able to adjust each of the three skins, if need be. This allows offering several OSD languages, for example, or changing colours and display modes. The cre-ative potential of IPTV oper-ators can be exploited to the max and we, too, simply loved to try out various visual solutions. It has to be said, though, that these set-tings cannot be made with the help of a graphic user interface but need to be pro-grammed directly in the files of the selected skin. Luckily, the user manual explains all relevant steps in detail, so that it first looks trickier than it actually is.
One of the benefits of an IPTV system is that the server is in direct touch with all connected IPTV boxes at all times. This way, updates, changes to OSD skins or any other configuration adjust-ments that will have to be made from time to time can be sent to all IPTV receiv-ers fully automatically. The NetUP IPTV Combine 4x does not only come with a DHCP server for automati-cally assigning an IP address to each box, but also boasts a DNS server which takes care of correctly addressing content, a time server for maintaining the right date and time on all IPTV boxes, and an update server for providing new software and updated settings to IPTV receiver.
There is actually a reason why we have come up with a hotel scenario for our test: NetUP offers a dedicated version of its IPTV Combine 4x for hotels, with optimised
software optimised for use in such businesses. Of course it, too, comes with all stan-dard features that are useful for most applications (hos-pitals, large yachts, cruise ships, education institutions, etc.), but also features addi-tional options focusing on hotels. The hotel version is available as an option and connects the IPTV system to frequently used hotel soft-ware suites such as MICROS-Fidelio, for example. The following additional features are then available:
•Individual welcome mes-sage in room via TV and IPTV receiver
•Hotel information screen via TV and IPTV receiver
•Displaying all hotel charges via TV and IPTV
•Displaying messages from reception via TV and IPTV receiver
•Express checkout•Ordering room cleaning
service via IPTV receiver
This way hotel guests are not only provided with TV, radio and VOD content via IPTV right in their room, but the in-room TV and IPTV receiver also take over the role of multimedia control panel for most hotel agen-das.
ConclusionWith its IPTV Combine 4x
NetUP has in store a fully-
fledged IPTV solution for
small and medium-sized
IPTV networks consisting of
up to 500 reception boxes.
Our test revealed that only
are the range of features, the
absolute ease of use and the
logical concept of the IPTV
Combine 4x truly impres-
sive, but it is actually real
fun to work with a system
that offers everything you
need in everyday use and
is genuinely user-oriented.
Even though we looked long
and hard there was hardly
any aspect worth criticising.
If there is one point we would
like to raise it‘s the user
manual, which we would have
preferred to be slightly more
detailed at some stages. If
this is the first time you deal
with IPTV it will be very dif-
ficult to set up the IPTV Com-
bine 4x server, even with the
help of the manual. Then
again, we can safely assume
that anyone investing a lot of
money in the NetUP system
will also be able to afford a
technician to take care of
the initial setup. Once that
is completed it is virtually
child‘s play to control, ser-
vice and adjust the system.

• Now that we‘re through with the features and potential of the NetUP IPTV Combine 4x server it‘s time to have a closer look at one of the compatible IPTV boxes. We have selected the AmiNET 130M from manufacturer Amino. One of the most striking characteristics is its small size, which measures only 114x102x35 mm, and its solid build quality. The chassis is made of genuine aluminium, which suggests the box is built to last.
All you can see on the front panel is a status LED indicat-ing the current operating mode.
The back panel sports an HDMI output, optical audio output and network inter-face as well as USB connection.
The box comes complete with a sort of pedestal which you may use in case

you want or need to place the receiver in an upright position to save valuable space. Also included in the package are HDMI cable and remote control with a con-venient design and nicely laid out buttons that pro-vide just the feedback you require. At the time of our test the operating manual was available in Russian only, but even with addi-tional languages provided in future chances are you will never need to open it. This is because – contrary to a satellite receiver – an IPTV box receives its entire OSD and control interfaces from the IPTV server and requires no user input in this regard.
InstallationBefore we even begin
with the first step we have to discard conventional thinking stemming by and large from satellite receiv-ers. Terrestrial, cable or satellite receivers come complete with pre-set soft-ware and all we need to do is hook up all required cables and press the ON button. It‘s a totally differ-ent story with an IPTV box, which runs via middleware and therefore has no inte-grated default operating software. With the middle-ware structure an IPTV box connects to the IPTV server which then provides the user software. This is to make sure both IPTV server and IPTV box are perfectly compatible with each other, and it makes setting up a new box so much easier. After all, there‘s nothing you can do wrong if the
IPTV server takes over the task of setting up your box. All required settings and parameters are provided by the IPTV server, which means they will always be correct.
While in theory this almost sounds to good to be true, in actual use the DHCP server of the IPTV Combine 4x must be acti-vated so that each new IPTV box within the existing IPTV network is assigned an individual IP address immediately and automati-cally. This at the same time makes sure the box is able to receive IP data from the server and its DNS server. So we first have to acti-vate all required functions via the web interface of the IPTV Combine 4x and define a range of IP addresses to be assigned to IPTV boxes. Only then can we connect the AmiNET130M to our flat screen TV via HDMI and to the IPTV network with an RJ45 cable. Finally, we con-nect the supplied power unit to the mains. The box powers up, immediately detects the IPTV Combine 4x server and downloads all software elements. One minute later this process is finished and we are asked to key in a valid activation key.
Everyday useWith regard to the IPTV
Combine 4x we have men-tioned before that the acti-vation key is required to customise the IPTV box and to create a tailor-made channel list, channel avail-ability and billing system for

each registered customer.
As we have already created
a specific customer account
through the billing feature
of the IPTV Combine 4x we
can quickly key in the acti-
vation code generated by
the system. The code con-
sists of a total of six blocks
with five digits each.
We did not specifically
define each and every
option for our test environ-
ment, so the AmiNET130M
first wants to know our pre-
ferred skin and presents us
with all available OSD lan-
guages.
As soon as these basic
settings are determined the
IPTV box switches to the
first available channel and
TV viewing please is about
to begin. With a touch of
the MENU button the main
menu pops up on screen
and is divided into six sec-
tions with the skin we have
chosen before: TV chan-
nels, Video-on-demand,
Radio, Personal account,
Settings and Extras.
The ‘TV channels’ section
shows a list of all TV con-
tent available to the respec-
tive customer. If required,
individual entries can be
added to a favourites list for
quick access. EPG data is
available either for a single
channel or as an overview
so that it is easy to check
at a glance what is cur-
rently shown on available
channels. It is of course
possible to call up EPG data
for events on coming days,
and timer entries can be
created directly by mark-
ing an event so that the box
will automatically switch to
the corresponding channel
before that event starts.
The system we tested,
however, does not support
a PVR feature for selecting
events to be recorded.
The ‘Radio’ section is not shown right below the ‘TV channels’ section, which presumably is for commer-cial reasons. We should still like to mention it at this stage, as it is organised just like the TV section.
The second menu item deals with ‘Video-on-demand’ content, which is organised according to name, group or genre. Every available film is shown on the upper area of the screen complete with its title. The screen sec-tion dedicated to EPG infor-mation in TV mode shows extended information about each video-on-demand (text, cover image, price, etc.). If you decide to buy content you only need to press the OK button, with the price of the film being deducted from your credit. Purchased on-demand con-tent is shown in a dedicated sub-menu that lists all con-tent you have purchased with your available credit.
This is also the menu sec-tion you may use to select and activate near-VOD con-tent.
Thanks to the sheer size of the IPTV server hard disk it is possible to make available quite an impres-sive range of on-demand content, and a virtual key-board assists customers in looking for specific content. User-friendliness is the key to success, and with
the solutions provided by NetUP chances are custom-ers will use the on-demand feature more readily.
The ‘Personal account’ section provides access to user data, selected pack-ages and account credit. Here, customers can also upgrade to an extended package or look at all past transactions (credit top-up, used credit). With this feature in place customers can change packages, buy on-demand content and keep a check on purchases without requiring assis-tance from hotel staff (as in our test scenario). This gives customers full control while not wasting valuable staff resources. In the ‘Set-tings’ menu it is possible to change OSD language and appearance, and for service technicians to call up infor-mation on IP data and other relevant network param-eters.
The range of features of the AmiNET130M is com-pleted with the ‘Extras’ sec-tion of the main menu. All timer entries can be listed here, and a rather basic but nonetheless very functional web browser is available for surfing the web. To that end a virtual keyboard is shown on screen, and frequently visited sites can even saved o n t o
a favourites list for easy access at a later stage.
During our test we noticed that NetUP has also thought about implementing basic functions in TV, radio and on-demand modes. For example, the colour-coded function keys can be used to change the language of the current event (in case more than one is available), and a smartly designed info bar is inserted in the lower section of the screen every time a new channel is selected. Apart from chan-nel name this info bar also shows program informa-tion for the current chan-nel. We were impressed at how quickly a new channels shows up on screen – it only takes about one second, and together with very fast reaction to commands sent from the remote control zapping is real fun with the AmiNET130M.
During playback of on-demand content it is of course possible to rewind and fast-forward (at dif-ferent speeds) and pause. A PVR system at large, however, cannot be imple-mented with the IPTV set-up tested by us.

ConclusionThe AmiNET130M IPTV
box from Amino is a per-
fectly capable and well-
built IPTV box. Contrary to
DVB-S, DVB-T and DVB-C
reception IPTV boxes come
without default software, which means our conclu-sion covers the Amino box as the hardware component on the one hand, and NetUP as software provider on the other hand. To put it short, the Amino hardware leaves nothing to be desired. What‘s more, the build quality achieved by Amino surpasses that of many competitors and easily sets an example when it comes to workmanship. The same goes for the remote control
that comes with the IPTV box. Apart from its high-quality appearance it can also be used as a universal remote to control all cur-rently available TV panels – who could ask for more?
Thanks to the fact that server and receiver are in perfect harmony the IPTV box is in a brilliant posi-tion for exploiting all fea-tures provided by the IPTV Combine 4x. In particular, we appreciated the simple
and logical control of the
box which should be self-
explanatory even to the
technologically challenged.
If you add to that the com-
plex control module of the
IPTV server for business
applications the two are
a perfect match. With a
whole range of customis-
able settings the IPTV Com-
bine 4x together with the
AmiNET130M should to the
trick for almost any scope
of application.

IPTV Standard OIPF
The New IPTV Standard OIPF
Yun Chao Hu is president of the ‘Open IPTV Forum’. He discussed the future of the OIPF standard with TELE-satellite during the first OIPF workshop held in Asia.
55www.TELE-satellite.com — 02-03/2011 — TELE-satellite — Global Digital TV Magazine
• OIPF is the new global standard for Internet TV
• OIPF is already in use in Singapore and Taiwan
• The new standard incorporates existing technologies and specifications
• OIPF has the same specifications world-wide, making it THE standard for Internet-based TV applications
It was exactly four years ago, in March 2007, that five telecom heavyweights founded the ‘Open IPTV Forum’, with major players such as Sony, Samsung, Philips and Panasonic, but also with tel-ecom companies focusing mainly on the Internet, like France Telecom, AT&T and Telecom Italia. Added to that were cor-porations from the mobile sphere, such as Ericsson or Nokia Siemens Networks. What started with nine founding members has meanwhile grown to 66 OIPF member companies, all of which have defined a single goal: to establish a uniform global standard for TV services via Internet (IPTV) and stimulating a horizontal retail market for IPTV end devices.
On the journey to this goal the chal-lenge does not lie in video and audio transmission – more than enough estab-lished standards are used for that already. The tricky part is interactivity and per-sonalization, as that is the main distin-guishing feature of IPTV when compared with terrestrial or satellite reception. In the past, each IPTV provider seemed to do its own thing, developing applications and technologies that best fit its particular purpose. IPTV had become a playground for unregulated proprietary develop-ments, and that is exactly what hindered further growth. Software engineers and hardware manufacturers were having a hard time trying to incorporate as many of these diverging developments as possible, which at the same time meant too much energy had to be wasted on developments and technologies that would simply come and go.
Yun Chao Hu is the president of OIPF, and we had the pleasure of meeting him during an OIPF workshop in China. “There is a solution in sight,“ he states. „A uni-form standard that is accepted and imple-mented by all players and that establishes a level playing ground for all interested parties.” The challenges that come with creating the new OIPF standard are two-fold:
For one, there is no need to start from scratch again and re-invent something that is already available at our finger-tips. Rather, existing standards should be the foundation onto which the new OIPF
standard is being built. Secondly, all appli-cations that arise from IPTV interactivity need to be integrated into the open stand-ardized application enablers. “The OIPF specifications will address the necessary application enablers that will be the basis for an open application ecosystem secur-ing transparency towards the IPTV appli-cation developers. This will ensure that the application development will be inde-pendent of the IPTV middleware and the specific IPTV end-devices. The increased availability of IPTV applications will enrich the end user Quality of Experience of the standard based IPTV deployments,” Yun Chao Hu adds.
Interactivity does not only mean that end users – i.e. TV viewers – select the channel they want to watch from a list of offerings by using a remote control to send a request to the provider. There‘s way more to it. The OIPF standard cre-ates a log with information about which channel is currently being watched, how many times a new channel is selected and at what time channels are switched. This way a user profile with a precise viewing pattern can be created to provide valuable information for advertisers and content providers. Commercials can be inserted at a time that creates most viewer atten-tion and a whole range of offerings can be tailor-made to maximise their effect.
In order to collect the required data there needs to be an established and uni-form standard across platforms. What’s more, the OIPF standard defines how advertisements and other offers are transmitted to the viewer.
As you can see, simply watching TV is already based on a rather complex technological structure. If we now con-sider pay TV or pay-per-view – both of which also have to be implemented in the OIPF standard – it becomes plain for all to see that establishing a new standard involves overcoming a great many stum-bling blocks. And then there’s the Inter-net, which offers even more possibilities, according to OIPF marketing director Monika Gadhammar: “Interactive EPG, video calling, chatting, file sharing, online voting, mobile TV and the like are only some of the applications that can be real-

ised. To give you an example: If a phone call comes in while you are watching TV the caller’s number and name will pop up on the TV screen. If you decide to accept that call the system automatically starts PVR recording so that you are able to con-tinue watching after hanging up, without missing a single second.”
This just goes to show that the list of possible applications is virtually end-less. Major landline phone companies and Internet service providers are free to implement as many features as they think fit, and that’s one of the major draw cards of the new OIPF standard. Yet, all these features that are made available to con-sumers are only one side of the coin. The other is the fact that all features need to be implemented at the provider’s end – and the OIPF is the right answer for that as well.
OIPF president Yun Chao Hu adds that OIPF is already being used in large-scale test set-ups. “There’s the NIMS project in Singapore, and another one in Taiwan.” Both make sure OIPF can make the quan-tum leap from developer’s playground to real-world application. OIPF is right on track to becoming a reality of TV viewers in the future!

A Look Behind the Scenes: The New OIPF IPTV Standard in The Making
One of the strong technical partners of the Open IPTV Forum is Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft from Germany, which has been looking at IPTV since 2005. We wanted to learn more about their approach to that topic and met with Robert Seeliger, the OIPF project man-ager at Fraunhofer. He occupies an office on the fourth floor of a recently built office complex in northwestern Berlin (Germany). Yet, it‘s not only Fraunhofer
which is renting office space at this build-ing, but also other well-known businesses from the telecom field. One of them is Media Broadcast, a satellite broadcaster on which TELE-satellite reported only recently in issue 08-09/2010.
We started out with asking Robert Seeliger about the nature of Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft. Naturally, he can fill us in with all the details: „Fraunhofer-Gesell-
schaft employs a technical workforce of 17,000 and generates an annual turno-ver of 1.7 billion EUR.“ We’re not talking about a commercial company here, but rather an association with an exclusive focus on technical research. „Some 30% of Fraunhofer‘s budget are received from the German state, with the remaining 70% being generated from commercial corporations with all sorts of manufac-turers. Some monies also come from the
This modern office complex in northwestern Berlin (Germany) houses the Fraunhofer FOKUS institute. A range of other well-known telecom providers also rent office space here. The Fraunhofer FOKUS institute participates in exhibitions as well and can be found exhibiting at the CeBIT in Hanover, IFA in Berlin, IBC in Amsterdam and IPTV World Forum in London.

European Union‘s research funds.“
Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft is divided up into different institutes. „We currently run 57 institutes, each of which does research on a specific field,“ Robert Seel-iger goes on. One of the institutes caries the name FOKUS, which is the German acronym for ‚Fraunhofer Institute for Open Communications Systems‘. FOKUS consists of seven departments and one of these departments is FAME, short for ‚Future Applications and Media‘, with a permanent staff of 40 employees.“
The FAME department within FOKUS deals with the new IPTV standard. It is headed by Dr. Stefan Arabnowski, with Robert Seeliger running the project group that looks at OIPF. „Altogether we are 15 scientists,“ Robert Seeliger explains, „which means employees with a degree in either software development or engineering.“ Their work consists mainly of looking at technological niches
and developing solutions for them. „IPTV has been around for some time, which means huge efforts have already been put in doing research in this field,“ Robert Seeliger continues. „Our job is to define gaps that are still around and then combine all aspects to arrive at a point where all the pieces of this puzzle fall into place.“
By the way, this particular Fraunhofer institute can proudly look back on an extremely successful Internet develop-ment: „We were the ones to come up with the Session Initiation Protocol that is being used for VoIP,“ Robert Seeliger reveals and lends further proof to the fact that Fraunhofer scientist are spot on when it comes to developing solu-tions that are required in a real-world scenario.
One task on the path to the new OIPF standard is to design a HTML-based user interface for implementation in IPTV
What is CE-HTML?
HTML is the programming language used to create web pages. You do not have to be an accomplished expert to realize that the web pages you surf on with your PC or a laptop are not so easy to navigate when displayed on the TV screen and handled with a remote control. There are several things that make reading and naviga-ting them difficult:
- sometimes simply the font is too small to be read from a distance by a regular TV viewer
- they often require a mouse action or keyboard entry rather than the directional arrows and OK button that the regular remote control units have
- they lack a highlight that show the user what will happen when he/she presses the OK button
- they use different audio/video object implementations
- they use specific extensions like Adobe Flash that require more soft-ware and more powerful hardware to be used than is available in popular consumer electronics equipment
Therefore, the manufacturers of consumer electronics products deci-ded to create a special version of HTML and called it CE-HTML. More precisely, CE-HTML is based on XHTML and has additional extensions.
The pages created with CE-HTML are well suited to be viewed from a distance and be controlled with 4 arrows and an OK button. CE-HTML can be used to create the regular (on-line) pages but also to create the user interface screens of the CE devices you use at home, like digital TV recei-vers.
Additionally, CE-HTML simplifies interfacing of various multimedia devices you use at home. We can say that thanks to such standardization efforts like CE-HTML, the develop-ment of new CE equipment is faster and simpler, and the compatibility between different brands and models is better.
CE-HTML is already incorporated in CEA-2014, HbbTV, OpenIPTV and Digi-tal Living Network Alliance industry standards. There are already TV-sets on the market which are CE-HTML compatible.
receivers. „To this end we use the CE-HTML programming language,“ Robert Seeliger explains. „It‘s the same lan-guage that is also used for HbbTV, for example.“ CE stands for consumer elec-tronics and is perfect for calling up and displaying media content.
Graduate engineer Robert Seeliger is OIPF project manager at the Fraunhofer FOKUS institute in Berlin. Here he shows the institute‘s website on his monitor. Apart from the new OIPF standard FOKUS also looks at another interesting development: a universal operating system that can be implemented in mobile phones, set-top boxes, TV sets and so on. You can find out more about that project at www.webinos.org.
Several monitors and boxes in the lobby of the Fraunhofer FOKUS institute display applications that were developed at the institute.

: ارقام مبيعاتها متدنية نوعا ما . ايرن جيانج ، المسؤولة عن المبيعات الدولية ،
تتوسع في هذا الحديث : " %80 من مبيعاتنا في اروبا ، %15 تذهب للشرق االوسط و %5 المتبقية %من 40 . الشمالية امريكا مثل العالم بقية لو انجلترا و اللمانيا تذهب اوروبا المبيعاتداخل ، يا ايطال بولندا، لدول مثل تذهب المتبقية 20%

New Generation Tuners
Silicon Tuners Jacek Pawlowski

of 54dB and a noise figure better than 6dB. These numbers significantly exceed the parameters of a typical can tuner. Also, other characteristics, like uniform-ity of gain, are very constant across the entire frequency band – something that is very difficult to achieve with can tuners.
There are already ICs available that offer additional very exciting features – like a complete channel scan of more than 100 channels in less than two sec-onds (chip makers claim that the chan-nel lock is a mere 5 ms as opposed to 150 ms for the can tuner) or advanced picture-in-picture (PIP) television tech-nology providing multiple PIP capabili-ties that let the viewer watch up to 12 video channels simultaneously around the main channel.
The key success factor in this case is the innovative internal design architec-ture that enables spur-free reception of analog and digital signals. Many silicon tuners include internal digital signal processors (DSP). These are special purpose processing units (i.e., comput-ers) optimized to do very fast calcula-tions on real world signals. It enables implementation of many functions and features not possible or very, very dif-ficult to obtain without DSP. With DSP, it’s quite easy to configure on-board filters that meet all television standard requirements.
To use DSP, the analog signal at the input of the tuner has to be converted into digital form using an analog-to-digital converter (ADC). After the DSP has done its job, the signal is converted back to analog using a digital-to-analog converter (DAC). So, silicon tuners con-tain not only DSPs but also ADC and DAC subcircuits. The architecture varies from manufacturer to manufacturer and from type to type and the available fea-tures will also vary with different silicon tuners, but one thing’s for sure: they all outperform can tuners.
Naturally, the smaller overall size of silicon tuners and the ability to mount them directly on the audio/video moth-erboards of set-top boxes or TV sets is another important feature. In this case, printed circuit boards need to be designed with greater care and expertise in order to avoid radio interference. For-
There seems to be consistent pro-gress in digital TV technology; features like HD, PVR, upscaling or BlindScan were not available a few years ago. In most cases this progress is only possi-ble when a new generation of integrated circuits is developed. This is especially obvious when we consider, for example, the migration from SDTV to HDTV. Other times, these advances in technology are less obvious and harder to detect from the end user’s perspective. This is the case with the so-called “silicon tuners”. This term was coined to distinguish the new generation of tuners from the classi-cal tuners made of discrete components. The classical tuners are referred today as “can tuners”. That’s because they require electromagnetic shields – metal enclosures surrounding the electronic components that look a little bit like tin cans.
But what is a tuner? According to Wiki-pedia, the definition of “TV tuner” is: “A television tuner converts an RF televi-sion transmission into audio and video signals which can be further processed to produce sound and a picture. Differ-ent tuners are used for different televi-sion standards such as PAL, NTSC, ATSC, SECAM, DVB-C, DVB-T, ISDB, T-DMB, open cable.” We will see that while the first part of the definition is absolutely true, the second part is not necessarily valid for the silicon tuner.
Many difficult hurdles had to be jumped before a practical silicon tuner could be manufactured at a reasonable cost. However, once it happened, sili-con tuners began gaining rapid accept-ance among manufacturers because of their advantages compared to traditional
can tuners. Can tuners are built using a number of discrete components. Natu-rally, the more components there are, the more it will cost to assemble it. Sil-icon tuners are based on a single chip and require a minimal number of exter-nal components – for example they don’t need expensive SAW filters as are used in can tuners. A higher level of circuit integration enables a 75% reduction in space and a 25% reduction in the cost over can tuners.
Moreover, the integrated circuits of modern silicon tuners are compatible with many TV standards. This is impor-tant for the manufacturers because it enables them to offer just one multi-standard receiver model in different regions of the world. There’s no need to keep stock of several models to match various digital and analog standards. You can now offer just one set-top box or TV set model for cable, terrestrial, analog and digital TV. The versatility of the chip results in increased software common-ality between regional receiver designs and this in turn significantly decreases development costs.
Silicon tuners guarantee better repeatability of their parameters and this means that when testing receiver after receiver, there’s hardly any dif-ference in their performance. They do not require manual tuning or adjust-ments. Consistent performance and quality is one thing but superior specifi-cations over can tuners is another. And we’re not talking about just secondary parameters but better sensitivity, adja-cent channel rejection, phase noise and dynamic range. For example, a modern silicon tuner has a signal-to-noise ratio
tunately, the silicon tuner vendors help the designers with reference layouts making their job easier. And the tuners are extremely small. For example, one type of tuner is encapsulated in a plastic package 5x5 mm (0.2”x0.2”) while some can tuners can be as large as 50x100 mm (2”x4”).
Silicon tuners also generate far less heat than can tuners. Because of this, they are not only more eco-friendly but consume less energy; that makes them suitable for use in battery operated devices like mobile phones.
For TVs and receivers, silicon tuners lower their production costs, simplify the manufacturing process and improve their quality and reliability. It should
come as no surprise that the silicon tuner market has expanded rapidly since they first became available back near the turn of the century. Nearly every chip pro-vider that is involved with the digital TV market today is offering silicon tuner solutions. Although can tuners have been the standard since the beginning of the small screen, set-top box and TV makers will eventually abandon the can tuner and switch to single chip silicon tuners. Business analysts predict that over 60 percent of the units produced worldwide are expected to rely on the single-chip silicon tuner by 2014. Why not 100%? Well, some TV OEMs are vertically inte-grated with can tuner producers; they may prefer to keep them in business for now, however, the days of the can tuner are numbered.
We, the end users, should only wel-come this change. Our future products will perform better, will be smaller and more universal, will offer more features and be less expensive. This is very excit-ing for set-top box fans, but let’s not forget that silicon tuners will also be used on a larger and larger scale in PCs and mobile phones. The silicon tuner is poised to unseat the can tuner in vir-tually every application. In a couple of years almost everything having a screen (PC, tablet, cell phone) will have a built-in TV tuner by default.
So, to reiterate the explanation quoted at the beginning of this article: with a sil-icon tuner you only need one single tuner for every standard. Now that’s what we call progress!

Transmission Technology
Single- and Multi Frequency Networks in Digital Terrestrial TelevisionJacek Pawlowski
DVB-T/T2 and DVB-H standards for digital terrestrial TV use COFDM modulation. COFDM stands for Coded Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing and is a quite complex sort of digital modulation developed to ensure high bit rate capacity along with interference immunity. The latter feature is what makes single frequency networks (SFN) practically possible.
Before the digital era, the analog TV transmitters located in neighboring areas had to use different frequencies to avoid interference. It is intuitively understandable that using the same frequency to transmit channel A from transmitter 1 and channel B from transmitter 2 is not a good solution. There would always be a location where the reception antenna would not only receive the desired signal (say, channel A) but also the undesired signal. The undesired signal (channel B), even if transmitted from a completely differ-ent direction, could interfere because of electromagnetic wave reflections or scattering on various obstacles (like buildings, masts, etc.). So the recep-tion antenna properly directed to receive channel A from transmitter 1 has always a chance to pick up some signal from transmitter 2.
But what if the two transmitter broad-cast the same channel? If they use the same frequency to transmit the same analog channel, the reception antenna could again receive signals from both transmitters simultaneously. In prac-tice, one of the signals would always be delayed in relation to the other one. That’s because the distance between the reception antenna and any of the transmitters would be different. Time delays cause phase shifts what in turn leads either to constructive or

destructive interference. This would lead to signal fading. Additionally, due to time delays the “ghost” effect would be visible on the TV screen. The mul-tipath effect resulting from reflections and scattering also would take place. Since analog TV used simple ampli-tude modulation for video, there was no other way to avoid interference but to ensure that the transmitters which cover overlapping areas had to use different frequencies. The same frequency channel is re-used only in regions separated by a large distance, to avoid harmful co-channel interfer-ence. Such arrangement is called Multi Frequency Network or MFN.
In COFDM modulation digital data is not transmitted continuously but with pauses among the symbols. These pauses are called the guard intervals. The guard interval should be chosen long enough to allow all symbol echoes to reach the receiver. So that when the next symbol comes there are no longer echoes from the previous one. If all delayed signals (symbol echoes) come to the receiver within the guard inter-vals, it is possible to process the sig-nals so smartly to avoid fading. DVB-T permits to choose one of the follow-ing values for guard interval: 1/4, 1/8, 1/16, 1/32. The longer the interval the more echoes we can cancel but
If such digital signal is transmitted from two transmitters on the same frequency, the signal originating from the more distant transmitter is seen as a long delay echo. And this is the important factor for designing single frequency network (SFN): if we used powerful transmitters located far away from one another, we would have long echoes – at least in some areas. There-fore, it is usually assumed that SFN requires a dense grid of small power transmitters. For a medium sized Euro-pean country like Poland, it is assumed that some 350 transmitters with 40 m high antenna masts would be required. Creating such dense grid of transmit-ters is costly and takes time.
On the other hand, MFN can use the existing infrastructure of analog transmitters and antennae. In such configuration, the channels are trans-mitted on different frequencies and we do not have to care about the echoes from neighboring transmitters. We still have echoes resulting from the same transmitter (self interference) because there are still signal reflections from
Fig. 2. In a Multi-Frequency Network the neighboring transmitters must use different frequencies. Only those separated by larger distance may use the same frequency. The transmitters can broadcast the same or different digital or analog content

less useful data we can send in the same unit of time. To compensate for that, the number of carriers must be increased.
■

different objects. But those echoes are shorter and do not pose serious prob-lems for COFDM modulation.
Another advantage of MFN is the fact that it is convenient to use it in the interim period when analog and digital TV are broadcast concurrently. That’s because the viewers do not have to rotate their antennae to catch new digital signal nor do they have to install new antennas. Analog and digital sig-nals come from the same location.
In SFN arrangements one multiplex is transmitted on the same frequency all over the country. So SFN has one tremendous advantage over MFN – it spares a lot of precious bandwidth released after the analog transmission is completely switched off. This band-width can be either used to transmit many more digital channels or used for other purposes. Except for better spectral efficiency described above, SFN has better power efficiency. In other words, the electric energy con-sumed by all SFN transmitters is lower than that in MFN system with the same reception area. SFN uses more trans-mitters, but these are the low power units.
SFN is also much more desired for DVB-H signals, especially if SFN is built with a dense grid of small power transmitters. Such grid creates a
much more uniform signal level what is important for reception on the move. Moreover, if we use the same frequency, the receiver can switch from cell to cell smoothly (handover). For MFN networks a second tuner is required in the receiver to check sig-nals from the neighboring cells. SFN is also the better choice if we need to ensure the reception inside the build-ings or in those places were it is dif-ficult or impossible to install a roof-top antenna.
It is not difficult to figure out that SFN is more demanding from techno-logical point of view. It requires very good synchronization of all transmit-ters both in time domain and in fre-quency domain. Usually, GPS is used to synchronize all transmitters.
Technology experts when compar-ing both solutions sometimes overlook non-technical aspects. For example, in some countries there are many regions that transmit local content to local viewers. Such local broadcasts are of little interest to the people living at the other side of the country. One can not split networks into regional or local area networks with different content using SFN. This is particularly a challenge for geographically large countries. Practically, SFN network requires everything be transmitted throughout the whole country.
As usually, it is not so easy to say which arrangement is better. It depends on the circumstances in a given country. One of the reasonable approaches could be to use MFN in the intermediate period and once the digital switch over is over and analog channels no longer exist, start building SFN. SFN will not only release band-width but also enable DVB-H recep-tion almost everywhere. To become really popular, portable DVB-H devices should be operational everywhere where a mobile phone is used today. There are even some proposals to use the existing GSM infrastructure for DVB-T/H SFN transmitters.
Another approach, justified espe-cially in large countries, could be a mixed solution: MFN and SFN together. In this way, one could have different local multiplexes delivered to different regions, and nationwide digital multi-plexes delivered all over the country.
Before we conclude this article, a word about North America. COFDM modulation has been chosen for the terrestrial transmissions by DVB and ISDB, but the American standardiza-tion body ATSC has opted for 8VSB. Although 8VSB has not been designed with SFN in mind, this modulation is also good in ghost cancellation. So, at least theoretically, it is also possible to build SFN networks in North America.

COMPANY REPORT
134 TELE-satellite — Global Digital TV Magazine — 02-03/2011 — www.TELE-satellite.com
Looking up the façade of this inconspicuous apartment building you can spot two satellite antennas. Right, next to the dishes are the office windows of AZBox Russia on the fifth floor. This building is only one block from the nearest metro station, which is called Kakhovskaya and is served by metro line 11. The company also makes use of a warehouse for storage, which is located elsewhere.
Two Buddies from School Days Found AZBox Russia
AZBox Distributor, Russia
The two first met at the tender age of seven when they went to the
same school. They embarked on different journeys afterwards, with
one of them deciding to study economics while the other obtained
a degree in electronics and software programming. Later on, their
paths crossed again in the year 2006 when they together founded
the company SatDream as exclusive distributor of AZBox products in
Russia. Andrej Dolgopolov took on the role of Sales Manager, while
Ruslan Rozanov became Technical Manager of the company. TELE-
satellite met both founders in Moscow.
Technical Manager Ruslan Rozanov can
justifiably be called a satellite enthusiast.
“It was in 2001 when my interest in satel-
lite reception awoke,” he tells us. He used
to repair satellite receivers for friends and
family in his spare time, and he soon dis-
covered that “it was the software aspect
that I was really addicted to.” This even
went so far as to turn to receiver program-
ming from 2004 onward. Looking at ways to
turn hobby into profession he finally deci-
ded to start up a business. Together with
his school-day friend Andrej Dolgopolov he
raised an initial capital of USD 2,000 to get
going. Right from the start the two have
focused on repairing satellite receivers.
By and by they had gained an expert
reputation for servicing receivers of a par-
ticular Korean brand, but unfortunately
that manufacturer completely missed the
leap from SDTV to HDTV, so they had to
look elsewhere. “The option of customised
receiver programming was a driving force
behind that search,” Ruslan Rozanov exp-
lains. “One day we came across the AZBox
and immediately got in touch with Hugo
Condessa, the founder of AZBox.” The two
have been exchanging thoughts and ideas
via e-mail or skype ever since.
“Our first move was the Russian transla-
tion of the AZBox on-screen menus.” Even
more important, however, was the adapta-
1 2
4
136 TELE-satellite — Global Digital TV Magazine — 02-03/2011 — www.TELE-satellite.com
tion of the AZBox to accept major smart-
cards used in Russia, like those of provider
Tricolor. “It only took us three weeks to
write the software so that the internal card
reader of the AZBox was able to work with
those smartcards,” Ruslan Rozanov proudly
remembers.
That happened in October 2009 and
things really got moving from there. In
November 2009 the first shipment of boxes
arrived. “It consisted of 100 Elite boxes
and 100 Premium boxes,” Ruslan Rozanov
recalls how it all began. And that pace has
constantly increased up until today: For
2010 shipments totalled 1,000 units.
However the SatDream team was not at
the end with after the on-screen display
texts had been localised. “We wanted our
customers to get the best,” Ruslan Rozanov
notes and mentions a CD-ROM which is
shipped with every AZBox in Russia. The
CD-ROM features a comprehensive FAQ
covering all AZBox functions, as well as
assistance for downloading new software
versions. “We also cover the initial instal-
lation procedure of the AZBox receiver so
that all channels demanded from a Russian
audience can actually be received,” Ruslan
Rozanov adds.
Incidentally, he compiled the complete
CD-ROM almost all by himself. Still, Sat-
Dream service does not stop there. “All
AZBox receivers we sell come with a two-
year warranty,” Ruslan Rozanov explains
and details the processes that have been
set up in the background: “Each AZBox is
labelled with a unique serial number right
at the manufacturing premises and we take
note of the serial number for every single
customer of ours. This allows us to instantly
look up the features and equipment level of
every box ever sold by us.” By the way, cus-
tomers may even enter the serial number
of their box at www.azbox.su themselves
and check whether they have obtained their
receiver through legal channels.
Currently, the young company employs a
workforce of 15: Four work in administra-
tion, three are repair technicians, three are
software developers and four are installers
who set up complete reception systems all
over Moscow and beyond. Added to that are
the two owners.
“Our top-selling product right now is the
AZBox HD Plus with two DVB-S2 tuners,”
Sales Manager Andrej Dolgopolov reveals.
“We generate approximately 70% of AZBox
sales with this model alone.” The question
that arises in this context refers to DVB-T.
After all, AZBox does offer its receivers as
DVB-T variants as well. Technical Manager
Ruslan Rozanov has the answer: “While
there have been some test transmissions
in Moscow we don’t expect a real DVB-T
breakthrough in our market before 2012.
By that time we’ll be ready and prepared to
jump on that bandwagon.”
Our visit has clearly confirmed the gene-
ral impression that AZBox Russia seeks
to offer excellent customer service. Its
employees are in a position to solve soft-
ware problems in a timely manner, as well
as address any hardware issues that might
arise. This makes AZBox Russia very well
placed for keeping up its steady expansion
pace.

CITY REPORT
Sidi Bel-Abbes (Algeria)
138 TELE-satellite — Global Digital TV Magazine — 02-03/2011 — www.TELE-satellite.com
A look at the beginning of the Rue Mascara in Sidi Bel-Abbes in western Algeria. Here you’ll find a large number of satellite dealers.
The Satellite Dealer from Sidi Bel-Abbes
Satellite Dealers in Algeria
If you travel roughly 80km south of Oran you’d find the city of Sidi Bel-Abbes in western Algeria with its 500,000 inhabitants located about 150km from the Moroccan border. The city was named after its founder Sidi Bel-Abbes. We set out for this city in an effort to find out how easy it is to buy satellite components such as dishes, LNBs and receivers in a city like this. Is it possible to find these items here or do you have to travel to a big city in order to find what you need?
Well, no need to fill the gas tank in your car! As soon as we found the Rue Mascara (also known as Boulevard Zabana), we could not escape all of the electronic shops. One store after ano-ther offered everything under the sun that came attached with a power cord.
Several of these shops focused a little more on satellite components but mostly also sold other items such
as TV sets and household electronics. Because of the ever-dropping prices in the satellite industry, many of these dealers have no choice but to expand to neighboring regions.
One of the first satellite dealers in Sidi

Bel-Abbes was Morsli Hallam. He thinks back: “When I started in 1994, there were only two other satellite dealers.”
His best year was 1997 when more than 1000 receivers crossed his shop’s counter. In the meantime he gave up his business but still knows many of his old competitors. He introduced us to a few of them; for example, the team from ‘Le Bleu’. In their electronic shop back in the corner you’ll find a 90cm dish along with an assortment of satellite receivers. The manager is Benfreha Becheikh; he explains to us: “We sell about 50 HD receivers a month and still about 100 SD receivers.” It’s obvious that it won’t be long before more HD receivers will be sold than SD boxes. Most of the cus-tomers want to use their new satellite equipment to receive NILESAT.
One of the only shops that deals exclu-sively with satellite reception is ‘Magh-reb Sat’. Chafi Abdelhamid is the owner and explains to us: “I started my busi-ness in 1993. But today I only deal with repairs and software updates.” With two technicians and an assistant he repairs defective receivers and uploads new software to these boxes.
Larger manufacturers can also be found with a branch office along the Rue Mascara. One of these companies is Condor, an Algerian manufacturer that not only produces household goods but also offers all the necessary compo-nents for satellite reception.
One of the salesmen is B. Chaouchi and he shows us the new HD recei-

ver from Condor: “This box costs only 11,500 DA (about 115 Euros).”
Just before we left, we met up with Boudera Kada. He learned his trade with Morsli Hallam and became self-employed a few years ago. He installs satellite sys-tems. He explains to us: “I install about 500 systems a year.” He charges about 8 Euros for a fixed antenna system and about 20 Euros for a motorized system. Of course this only pertains to the labor performed.
“Most of my customers use an 80cm dish but that just barely cuts it; for HD reception I always recommend using a 120cm antenna”, explains Kada to us from his experience. “Most of the cus-tomers want to receive NILESAT at 7 west and ATLANTIC BIRD at 5 west so I install the antenna as close as possi-ble to 6 west so that both satellites can be received!” Other popular satellites for this region include HOTBIRD at 13E, ASTRA at 19.2E, BADR at 26E and ARA-BSAT at 30E.
Kada also gave us an idea what the more popular channels are. In addition to French channels, there are Arabic channels such as Al Jazeera Sports, MBC 1 (with programming geared towards women) and MBC 3 (Children’s TV), Teletoon Arabic, National Geographic from Abu Dhabi, Al Jazeera Documen-tary, Algeria 3 (Family TV) and 2M from Morocco. Also included in this list are the religious channels IQRA and MAJD as well as the pan-Maghrebish channel El Maghribia 1.
According to Kada, “Algerian Arabic is closely related to the Arabic spoken in Morroco and Tunesia and is therefore easy for us to understand.”
It becomes a little more difficult with channels from places like Egypt that

speak in an Arabic variant that isn’t so easy to understand. “Only the informa-tion channels are transmitted in high-Arabic”, says Kada.
Our tour through all of the electronic shops along the Rue Mascara in Sidi Bel-Abbes shows that even in smaller cities in a country like Algeria you can still find a large selection of satellite shops where you can get whatever you need for your satellite reception pleasure.

NTSC was the analog colour system used in Japan, so DXers were able to watch channels from ASIASAT 1 with their existing TV. Over the course of so many years Takao Kameda has steadily enlarged his collec-tion of satellite receivers using all sorts of CA systems. Right now he is having an in-depth look at the iCool G2 DVB-S2 receiver.
Keito Takahashi is a similarly commit-ted satellite enthusiast. He even speaks Chinese and is a regular viewer of the Chinese satellite channels by CCTV. He joined the satellite community more than ten years ago when he bought his first satellite antenna: It was a 3-metre KTI mesh antenna imported from the USA. Today he operates a 2.4m mesh antenna for the C band and a smaller 1.2m dish for the Ku band. Keito Takahashi is a true celebrity and a popular interview partner for Japanese TV stations and newspapers when it comes to experience and exper-tise in the satellite field. He also loves China and even sent his son over to China to learn the language. „I watch Chinese TV and learn the language from watching and listening.“ Another worthwhile reason for becoming a satellite enthusiast!
