You can designate the channels you frequently watch starting at channel 900. With an economic receiver, you can directly set 20 preferred channels from 900 to 919 using the “Set Preferred Channel” option on the EPG menu screen.

Each smart card is matched with each receiver and has its own password. Its function is to decode the programs sent from SkyLife and identify subscriber.

The size of the oval-shaped parabola antenna for watching SkyLife broadcasting is 45 centimeters and easy to install in narrow spaces such as an apartment porch or window. The installation direction of the antenna is set so it points exactly to the Mugunghwa Satellite No. 3. (Seoul: east longitude- 116º , azimuth angle- 197.9º , angle of elevation - 45.54º) If the direction of the antenna is incorrectly set, broadcasting cannot be received or the image quality may be poor. Antennas come in various shapes such a oval-shaped (parabola) and flat types. SkyLife usually provides oval-shaped parabola antennas.

The telephone line needs to be connected in case of using interactive services such as SkyChoice or interactive data broadcasting.

Since the technical standards used by SkyLife for transmission differs from the transmission standard used before, you cannot watch SkyLife with that equipment. You need to purchase a separate antenna and receiver for SkyLife. For your reference, SkyLife uses international standard (DVB-S) and equipment exclusive for SkyLife receiver(set-top box), all-in-one type antenna attached with LNB and Smart Card.

No sound can be heard from the SkyChoice channel while the optical port is not connected even if the Dolby setting is on. Set User Menu -> System Setting -> Advanced Setting -> Release Dolby to use normal SkyChoice service.

Connect the output of the receiver to the input of the VCR and set the input of the VCR to external (L1 is the external input for Samsung VCRs), and press the record button on the VCR. PPV channels (channels 101~125) have an anti-recording function (macro vision) and cannot be recorded, but other ordinary channels can be recorded.

The resolution of current analog type broadcasting is 440x480 with a theoretical number of 211,200 pixels. SkyLife provides DVB-S type SD-grade digital broadcasting with a resolution of 720x480, 1.64 times of terrestrial broadcasting and cable broadcasting, and 345,600 pixels. The image quality of digital SD broadcasting is superior to that of current analog broadcasting. Basically, SD broadcasting is the same quality of DVD. Of course, even if SD broadcasting gives the horizontal resolution of 720 (540 in TV resolution), the number of pixels will naturally be reduced if the maximum resolution supported by the TV is about 500. TV horizontal resolution of current terrestrial broadcasting and cable broadcasting is about 330. Given that maximum TV resolution is about 500, we can draw a conclusion that it will support a considerably clearer screen. Furthermore, since it is digital, there will be no ghost or noise, and the difference in quality is much greater.

The Mugunghwa Satellite runs in the fixed orbit of east longitude 116 and 36,000 kilometers above the equator, which it is located in the southern sky of the Korea Peninsula. It is in south southwest direction since it is located at 197.7 clockwise when correct north is regarded as 0.

SkyLife provides service through Mugunghwa Satellite No. 3. 6 units of repeater (BS) for broadcasting and 5 units of repeater for communication are used as transponders.
