  • How do I turn the transmitter off in Touchscreen mode?

In transmit, the touchscreen is used to monitor outgoing video and so the buttons are no longer visible - to turn the transmitter off, simply touch the screen in the same area as the TX button.

  • What do I need to receive a Portsdown transmitter?

As the Portsdown transmitter when fitted with the filter / modulator card will run normal bandwidth modes you will be able receive it on any Free to Air (or FreeSat) Set top box. However, when it is running in RB-TV modes or in Ugly mode without the Filter Modulator card you can only receive it using Minituner - the specially developed hardware and software - see here for more details.

  • What is the Portsdown reciever?

The Portsdown receiver will be a development of the Minitune receiver with a simple user interface and new hardware giving continuous coverage from 140 to 2650 MHz meaning we no longer need receive upconverters to cover 146 and 437 MHz.
