30TV mode*Explanation of the technical terms“Terrestrial television” or DVB-T (Digital Video Broadcasting-Terrestric) With DVB-T, digital television signals are transmitted terrestrially (earthbound) and can  also be received via an aerial. DVB-T theref 
ore offers mobile reception of high quality  
without the need of a fixed aerial connection. DVB-T is therefore described as “ 
Terres- 
trial television 
”. 
Advantages of DVB-T In addition to a significant gain in quality, the transmitter capacity of a television  channel can be realised more effectively th 
rough digital transmitter technology rather  
than analog signals. The greater data rate  
enables several programs of one television  
channel to be transmitted bundled in one data 
 flow (so called “Multiplex”). Part of the  
transmitter capacity can also be used for a 
dditional services, e.g. electronic program  
guides or radio. “Hybrid tuner” for analog 
 and digital reception 
The supply of DVB-T has up to now been re 
stricted to densely populated regions, so  
that an analog television receiver in the vehicle is still a prerequisite. It is for this reason  that a  
Hybrid tuner
 was developed for the unit, which consists of a common analog  
TV receiver and a DVB-T receiver. Display of analog an 
d digital TV stations
