Satellite, TNTSAT and channels

What's the difference between TNTSAT, FRANSAT and Free-To-Air satellite reception?

Free-To-Air (FTA) decoders can only receive unencrypted channels broadcast via satellite. They cannot receive the full French TNT bouquet, as French TNT channels are not broadcast in the clear via satellite — access is conditional (encrypted).

• A TNTSAT-certified decoder, such as the SRT7410, is required to receive French TNT channels via the Astra satellite at 19.2°E.
• A FRANSAT-certified decoder is required to receive French TNT channels via the Eutelsat satellite at 5°W.

How do I insert the TNTSAT card?

Insert the TNTSAT Viaccess card into the card slot on the rear panel with the chip facing DOWN (gold contacts DOWN). Do not force the card. Insert it before powering on the receiver for the first time.

Warning: Card orientation matters — insert the TNTSAT card with the chip facing DOWN in the SRT7410. Check the label on the rear of the receiver.
