Overview

The Strong SRT 8900 is a Digital HD Terrestrial Receiver, also referred to as a set-top box, designed to provide high-definition television (HDTV) services. It allows users to receive and view digital terrestrial broadcasts, including those in HD quality. The device is compatible with both High Definition (HD) and traditional Standard Definition (SD) standards.

Function Description:

The primary function of the Strong SRT 8900 is to decode digital terrestrial television signals, offering significantly superior video and audio quality compared to standard definition. It supports HDTV broadcasts with resolutions up to 1080 lines, resulting in a sharper picture, richer colors, and a 16:9 wide-screen presentation. The device includes a Conax CA (Conditional Access) system, which allows access to encrypted pay-TV services based on a subscription. Users can manage their subscriptions, view event and token statuses, and change their CA PIN.

The set-top box features an Electronic Program Guide (EPG) that displays TV programs up to 7 days in advance, enabling users to plan their viewing and set timers for future broadcasts. It also provides a zapping banner for basic information on current and next programs, and an information banner for detailed program options and synopses. The Mini-Guide feature allows users to browse what's on other channels without changing the current channel.

Channel management is comprehensive, allowing users to create and modify favorite channel lists, rename, reorder, add/remove, and lock/unlock channels through the Channel Organizer. The device supports DVB Subtitling and teletext, with options for selecting preferred subtitle languages. Audio options include stereo and multi-channel output, with preferences for two preferred audio languages. Parental control is available via a PIN code to restrict access to certain content based on maturity ratings.

The Strong SRT 8900 is upgradeable "over the air," meaning its software can be updated remotely to ensure continuous improvement and access to new features or standards.
