What is "Mode"?

Mode Transmission Mode
This is the commonly used name of the transmission mode/standard. Analogue transmission technologies define colour mode such as PAL, SECAM, NTSC, or sound mode such as Wegener.
Digital transmission technologies define the norm, as MPEG-2, or Digicipher etc.
Analogue technologies are less critical, and colour mode mainly refers to the television monitor connected to receiver. Digital technologies require a satellite receiver capable of receiving that particular mode.

The list of modes is as follows:
