Tricolor gs b210 receiver does not turn on. The receiver does not turn on after a software update

Useful tips

First, let's try to divide the receiver models into groups, united common features and having similar characteristics.

GS, DRE, DRS, these are all essentially the same manufacturer.

1. 5000, 5001, 5003, 7300 - only accept MPEG 2, approximately 50 channels in total are available.

2. 8300, 8300 M, 8300 N

Starting with 8302, an external power supply is typical, with the exception of 9303 and 9305

3. 8302, 8304 - do not support HD.

4. 8305, 8306 - these models do not have a display.

7. GS U210, GS U510

General symptoms of malfunctions characteristic of all models of Tricolor receivers.

If the Tricolor receiver shows no signs of operability at all, nothing lights up, you first need to figure out the power supply to the receiver.

Receivers GS 8302, GS 8304, GS 8305, GS 8306, GS 8307, GS 8308, GS B210, GS B211, GS B 212, GSU510, GSU210 have an external power supply. You should start by checking its functionality.

1. Message on the TV screen: no signal.

First, you should make sure that the message displayed on the TV is from the Tricolor receiver, and that the receiver itself is connected to the network and is showing signs of life. When you press the Menu button on the receiver's remote control, the Main Menu of the Tricolor TV receiver should be displayed on the TV screen. This will guarantee that you did not accidentally switch the TV to some other video input and the Tricolor receiver is working and the message about the absence of a signal is a message from the receiver about the absence of a signal from the satellite.

Several times a year, satellite television operators carry out scheduled technical work on transmission equipment, including the removal of broadcasts. Typically, these works are carried out before 10 a.m., sometimes until 2 p.m. Always, some time before the start of technical work, Information channel Tricolor TV, as well as NTV+, constantly repeats warnings about upcoming work.

The satellite signal may disappear for one of several reasons:
1.1 The Tricolor antenna has moved slightly to the side.

A 1 cm shift is enough and the signal will disappear. It is not recommended to twist the antenna yourself, most often after trying to set it up yourself satellite dish Tricolor, you will have to call a professional installer, even if the problem was a short-term outage at the technology partner Tricolor TV. If something falls on the plate from above and it shows signs of visible damage, it will have to be replaced. A slight change in the geometry of the receiving surface of the Tricolor or NTV+ antenna makes it further use impossible.

Setting up the Tricolor antenna, located in an easily accessible place, costs approximately 1500 rubles, replacing the converter + 500 rubles. Complete antenna replacement 2500 - 3000 rub.
Price example: http://cifrovoetv.ru/price/
1.2 Damage to the transmitting cable on the way from the antenna to the receiver.

If you can find the location of the damage, then having a special F female-F female adapter (barrel) and two F connectors, it is easy to connect the damaged cable. Otherwise, you will have to change the entire cable.
1.3 Antenna cable got out a little from the F connector screwed onto the receiver input.

It is enough to forcefully push the cable inwards.
1.4 The Tricolor converter stopped working.
The standard warranty period for converters is 1 year. Average term service 3-5 years. There are cases of 10-year work. It is easy to change the converter; it can be more difficult to find one on sale. When purchasing, please note: CIRCULAR must be written on the converter.
1.5 An obstacle has arisen between the satellite dish mirror and the satellite.

This could be a built apartment building, a grown tree, or snow stuck to the antenna, or laundry hung out by neighbors; in any of these cases, the signal does not pass through. You can simply shake off the snow, but with a tree it is more difficult; in the case of a house, you will have to look for a place to reinstall the antenna. A temporary obstacle may appear due to weather conditions; the signal does not pass through a thundercloud, just wait until it moves away from the imaginary line directed from the antenna to the satellite. The satellite signal does not pass through very heavy snow or rain, you also need to be patient. The same weather, excluding the possibility of using satellite television, may also be at the broadcast location TV signal to the satellite.
1.6 The Tricolor receiver is out of order.

This also happens. During action warranty period, the Tricolor receiver should be taken to a specialized Tricolor TV service center, always with a warranty card. If the warranty period for the Tricolor receiver has expired, it is not always advisable to repair the receiver. For relatively modern Tricolor receivers, the manufacturer establishes a warranty period of 1 year. There is no point in repairing old NTV receivers; you can easily buy them at online flea markets for 1000 - 1500 rubles. a working used receiver, the repair of which can cost 3-4 thousand rubles. New receiver for NTV+ Opentech OHS 1740V price: 6500 (with contract 1200 rubles included), free delivery.

New receiver for watching Tricolor TV GS B 212 Full HD price: 6500 RUR, also with free shipping and connection.
1.7 Software failure in the Tricolor receiver or random change settings.

Algorithm of actions: menu button - OK button, settings - OK, factory settings - OK, confirm reset. Then reconfigure the channels using the Tricolor receiver user manual.
2. Coded signal or no access.

The problem is standard for Tricolor TV subscribers. On receivers for viewing NTV+, if the card reader or access module malfunctions, a message may be displayed: the smart card is not inserted; if the NTV+ receiver, instead of a picture, displays the message - geographical restriction, you need to find out if there is money in the contract account in subscriber service. Tricolor TV users need to know that Tricolor has a Basic package, which should work without any fees. Now there are only two channels - First ORT and NTV, they should always work, so if nothing works for you at all, you don’t need to run to pay 1200 rubles. for the Single Package.

You should disconnect the receiver from the electricity, and after 5 minutes turn it on again (reboot). Helps in 99% of cases, all computers tend to freeze sometimes. A digital satellite receiver- a receiver is nothing more than a computer created to perform certain tasks.

If rebooting does not help, you should first make sure that the receiver sees the ID of the smart card or built-in DRE conditional access module. In older receivers, to view Tricolor TV models: DRE, DRS, GS - 4000, 5000, 5001, 5003, 7300, 8300M, you should press the "Status" button on the remote control of the Tricolor receiver or find the status: Menu button, Status - OK. On the page called up by pressing these buttons, there is information about the software and the receiver itself, including the DRE ID should be displayed, opposite there should be a multi-digit number. If there is no number, you can try to reboot. If after several reboots the number does not appear, this is a sure sign of a breakdown of the built-in conditional access module.

The feasibility of the repair is questionable. Replacing a module at a service center costs RUB 4,000, with a 3-month warranty. There is no guarantee that a motherboard worth 4 thousand rubles will not fail in a couple of months. or power supply - 1500 rub. A new receiver of the GS B212 brand with free delivery and connection costs 6,500 rubles.
2.1 ID is displayed, but the receiver does not decode the channels.

Perhaps it's a matter of outdated version software. For self-replacement Software needs to be found current version Software on the manufacturer's website GS. Then, using a computer and a “Nulmodem cable”, using the DRE Burner program, fill in new version software in satellite receiver. Then follows through Personal Area subscriber repeat the activation command to your receiver number. Then leave the receiver on until everything works.

Updating the software of the Tricolor receiver, with a visit to the customer, costs 1,500 rubles.
2.2 There is no access or a coded channel for Tricolor TV receivers GS 8300, GS 8300N, GS 8304, GS8305, GS 8306, GS 8307, GS 8308, GS 9303, GS 9305, GS U510.

All these receivers will not decode channels without a smart card. First you need to make sure that the receiver sees the smart card, DRE number ID and smart card number are one and the same. New receivers have a No. ID button on the control panel. By pressing the No. ID button or using the menu button, going to the status section, you need to see whether the smart card is detected by the receiver.

If the ID number is displayed and there are valid subscriptions, but the channels are still encrypted, the problem may be with an outdated software version.

You can check the availability of valid subscriptions in the main menu - OK, conditional access- OK, subscriptions - OK and see if there are any valid subscriptions. Class 000 is the “Basic” package; if this class is displayed, then ORT and NTV should work. If these channels are working, and the rest are encrypted and only class 000 is in subscriptions, then payment has ended paid package and you need to pay for the Unified package worth 1200 rubles. Before paying, turn on the Tricolor receiver and keep it on until everything starts to open.

The smart card is not detected: remove the card from the card reader, then insert it back, while disconnecting the receiver from the network.

If the ID number is detected and subscriptions are present, but the channels are encrypted, there is a possibility that your receiver has not been working for a long time and needs to be left on for up to eight hours.
3. All signs on the Tricolor receiver display blink.

A common problem for older Tricolor receivers with a built-in power supply is that the power supply has failed. It happens due to a power surge. Usage surge protector or a voltage stabilizer may help avoid this problem.
4. On the Tricolor receiver display all the signs (eights) are lit.

Two options: software corruption, sometimes failure motherboard.
5. The Tricolor receiver does not respond to the remote control.
First you need to try using the control buttons on the receiver itself, check that the Tricolor receiver is operational. Then try replacing the batteries in the remote control remote control. If it doesn't help, try another remote control.
6. By all indications, the Tricolor receiver is working, and on the TV screen blue screen or an inscription - the signal is weak or absent.

The main sign of a working receiver of all models (except 8305, 8306, B210, B211, B212 - they do not have a display) - the display shows serial number operating channel and to the left of the numbers an icon is displayed indicating the presence of a signal from the Tricolor satellite antenna.

On the remote control you need to press the Menu button. If a dotted rectangle appears on the receiver display, but there is still nothing on the TV screen, you need to pick up the TV remote control and switch the TV to the external input to which you have the Tricolor receiver connected.

Receivers GS 8305, GS 8306, GS8307, GS 8308 each have two video outputs - HDMI and SD, and they work alternately! By accidentally pressing the Input signal button on the remote control of the Tricolor receiver, the receiver will switch and begin to output a signal to another output. Accordingly, a message will be displayed on the TV screen - there is no signal.

Good day, happy Tricolor TV subscribers. By purchasing the GS B211 receiver, you have done right choice. But as unfortunately happens, any equipment breaks down, or already has one defect or another upon purchase. Here we will look at the reasons that do not relate to marriage or failure of the receiver.

Possible problems with GS B211

The receiver does not receive the signal well
The TV says “no signal”
The button is lit red, the receiver does not work

Now let's take a closer look at each of the problems in order.

1) The GS B211 receiver does not receive a signal well

You connected everything according to the instructions, set up the antenna for the satellite with maximum quality, and when setting up, you discover the picture “Signal Strength” 53%, “Signal Quality 47%”. This is due to incorrect factory settings of the receiving module, and any well-tuned signal from the satellite will give such readings in the GS B211 receiver.

Conclusion: Ignore these readings and continue to configure the receiver.

2) Receiver GS B211 shows few channels

This is already a sign that your antenna is poorly tuned. The signal is so weak that channels broadcast with less strength from the satellite simply cannot be received and processed by the module of this receiver. You can find out about poor signal strength during setup if “Signal Strength” is less than 53% and “Signal Quality” is less than 43%.

Conclusion: You need to configure the satellite dish as accurately as possible. If you can’t do this, then it’s better to order a Tricolor TV setup. Here the problem is not entirely in the receiver, but in the signal reception.

3) The screen of the GS B211 receiver shows “no signal”.

This error is usually generated by the TV itself, since there is no signal from the receiver.

Solution: Check that the tulip cable is connected correctly between the receiver and the TV. The wrong input is set on the TV, for example, you have an AV output, and you connected the tulips to the AV2 input. Make sure the connection is correct again. The red button on the receiver is lit. Turn on the receiver.

4) The receiver does not show HD channels

There are two problems here.

One of them is that the paid viewing period is coming to an end and you need to top up your account and leave the receiver on the 1HD channel for several hours, and possibly for a day.

The second possible problem is outdated receiver software. In this case, you need to turn on the receiver on channel 333 and leave it for two to three minutes. If you are not prompted to update the software of your receiver, then you just need to reset the settings to factory settings.

Conclusion: Try updating the receiver software. Perhaps your subscription is ending, you need to pay for the “Unified” package. Slight hangup of the receiver. Resetting to factory settings solves the problem. This is not considered a fault with the receiver. And as with any technology with operating system There are some small glitches on board.

5) The button lights up red on the GS B211 receiver

This means that the receiver is in sleep mode. Press the red button on the remote control and the receiver will turn on.

We briefly tried to understand possible reasons incorrect operation or connection of the receiver from Tricolor TV GS B211.

If, after registration, when you turn on the receiver, error 9 or error 0 is displayed, then you should wait a while until the receiver is decoded. This may take up to 8 hours. Only the receiver must be on the first channel, this is 1ORT.

Receiver GS B211 reset to factory settings

Many people are interested in how to reset the receiver to factory settings. This question arises when incorrect operation of this device. I am posting pictures of how to reset the GS B211 receiver to factory settings.

1) Press the menu button and select settings, then click OK. We see the menu, as in picture No. 1

Move the cursor to the end on the “About Receiver” menu and click OK. Menu appears Fig.2

Press the button down and select “Reset settings” - press OK

This window appears, click the left arrow, as in Figure No. 4

Click OK and the receiver will begin to reset to factory settings. Don't be alarmed and don't click anything until the image appears. In some cases, it may take a long time before it turns on.

The CS B211 receiver gives an error 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 9, 10

No access to view ( error 2).
Cause: The receiver cannot read the smart card.
No access to view ( error 3).
Reason: Coded channel. You should leave the receiver for decoding ( 8 ocloc'k)
No viewing access. TV/radio channel is not broadcast “Tricolor TV” ( error 4).

Cause: There are no subscription classes in the receiver memory.
No viewing access. To resume viewing, you must pay for the service (service name). Find out about payment methods in the receiver’s “How to pay” menu ( error 10).
Reason: There is no subscription to the main service.
Make sure that the correct region is set in the search settings for TV/radio channels. ( error 12).
Reason: The receiver is not registered in the region you selected when searching.

How to set up tricolor gs b211 receiver error 9

If you have this error– make sure that registration is completed. To do this, contact the seller and check whether they have registered you or not.

How to update gs b211 receiver

To update the receiver, you need to turn on channel 333 (Telemaster) and wait about 5 minutes. If a window pops up asking you to update the channel, select “Update” and press the “OK” button on the remote control.

Tricolor does not show no signal receiver b211

If your “Strength” and “Quality” signal scale is not filled in after you have chosen the “Tricolor TV” operator, then there is probably a problem in the converter or in the integrity of the cable itself from the antenna to the receiver. If this problem did not arise, and occurred after exchanging the old receiver for a new one, then it is better to call a specialist, since an integrated approach is required to more fine tuning antennas.

No access to view error 0 satellite dish

Registration completed. Wait up to 8 hours and the image will appear.

Why did half the channels disappear on the gs b211 receiver?

It may have started to fail ( slow death) converter, or your antenna settings have gone wrong. A deviation of 1-2 mm is sufficient. The solution is to call a specialist to eliminate the causes.

The list of regions is not available tricolor TV on the gs b211 receiver what to do

If, when selecting the “Tricolor TV” operator, the scales are full, and when you click “next” a message pops up that the list of regions is not available, the first reason is that you received a signal from another satellite.

After updating the software, the receiver does not turn on, reboots, does not respond

If this happens, try the following:

Take a flash drive of any size (the smaller the better)
Insert into computer and format to FAT32
Follow the link
Copy required file to a flash drive according to instructions
Disconnect the receiver from the network
Insert the flash drive into the USB drive
turn on the receiver and click update in the window that appears

The receivers of many Tricolor subscribers may stop turning on. How to check the receiver, and what measures to take if a malfunction is detected.

Failure to turn on the receiving equipment may be due to:

Supply of food;
Switching the TV to another connector;
Technical work at the provider;
Problems with the antenna;
Signal conversion in the converter has stopped;
Damage to the cable or F-connector;
Failure in work software;
Technical malfunctions in the operation of the receiver;
The remote control does not work.

To detect the problem, the user himself can carry out simple steps, which involve diagnosing equipment. Moreover, it is possible to evaluate the performance of individual links or the entire signal supply chain from the antenna to the receiver.

Familiarization information before self-diagnosis - special symbols

A Tricolor subscriber, if he has certain knowledge and skills in electrical diagrams or power circuits, he can diagnose a broken receiver with his own hands. This will avoid long-term restoration of the receiver’s functionality in service centers. Having decided to open the equipment, the user must know the special symbols used on internal elements.

Triangle with an exclamation point inside

The meaning of the designation is safety. If this warning is marked on some parts, handling these parts may damage accessories or the receiver itself.

Triangle with lightning inside

The meaning of the sign is a threat. Lightning indicates danger during opening or situations where elements are being handled. Danger involves harm to health or life.

Circle with English letter i

The designation provides information about problems and malfunctions that may arise during work.

Nutrition problems and their solutions

The first priority is always to check the power supply:

Is the plug plugged into the socket?
Is the power supply OK?
Correct connection of the power supply to the network;
Is the wire disconnected from the console, because sometimes children can accidentally remove it;
The power switch on the rear panel should be in the On position.

Models of older receivers typically have an external power supply. The power problem may be a malfunction of this element. Tricolor user can buy new block and enjoy watching television.

On new models, the power supply system is located inside the case, which complicates the repair task. Power may not be supplied due to lost capacity, defective areas on the diode bridges. Also, a unit that is used for a long time may fail over time. During repairs, you will need to replace the capacitor, which is swollen. Having disassembled the receiver case, you can immediately distinguish the power supply. By disconnecting it from all the boards, a skilled craftsman will be able to replace the failed elements.

Video: how to replace the power supply on the GS8300 receiver

To simply replace a capacitor you will need:

Soldering iron;
Screwdriver;
Soldering flux;
New capacitor.

The element to be replaced is purchased after opening the case. You should purchase a capacitor of the same capacity that matches the previously installed element.

When opening a part, the location of the element must be observed. When soldering a new capacitor, observe all boundaries.

Repairing the power supply will allow the current to flow again. If power is supplied, the indication is activated. Maintaining the “non-switchable” state in the presence of an indication is associated with other breakdowns.

Message No signal on TV

When a message appears, the subscriber first checks the likelihood that it is coming from the receiver and not from the TV. The indicators on the receiver light up, and when you press the buttons, a response occurs. When you call up the Receiver Menu, the device displays the corresponding window. This means that the equipment is correctly connected to the TV, and the error is related to the operation of the receiver.

If the weather is good outside and the provider does not carry out technical work (information about technical work presented on the company’s website or displayed in advance on the Info Channel), then the message may arise due to the following reasons.

Antenna offset

The antenna goes astray under the following conditions:

Bad weather;
Poor fixation;
Long-term operation;
Fall of a heavy object.

A displacement of 1 cm causes the signal to disappear. The user needs to analyze the rigidity of the fastening. If the fastening is found to be weak, adjustment will allow you to achieve the desired signal range. The signal is monitored on the television display during the period when the “Settings” section is turned on in the receiver Menu.

The location of the antenna changes by slowly rotating in different planes. You should not make turning steps of more than 1 cm. After turning, wait 5-6 seconds until the signal is set.

After the initial adjustment, it is necessary to perform a fine tuning operation so that the corresponding signal parameter scales are filled at the level of 70-80%. The final step involves securing the pole bolts to the antenna.

When a large object falls on the antenna, it leads to changes in geometry, which requires a change of equipment.

Often, independent changes in position do not bring positive results. A dish installation and setup technician will be able to quickly set up the signal. The cost of services depends on the region and location of equipment installation.

Cable damage

The subscriber should check the cable from the dish to the receiver. If a broken area is identified, the wire should be restored using available tools and an F-connector (if there is only one damaged area). Repair stages:

Cut the wire in the area to be restored;
Clean connecting areas;
Use F-connector on stripped ends;
After fixing the connection, screw on the electrical tape.

The operation is not performed if the rupture occurs again. A new wire must be used. Some technicians, without visually identifying a break, identify hidden defects in the cable using a tester.

Problems with F-connector

A cable coming out of the connector may cause a lack of signal. It is required to screw it back under force. A damaged connector can be replaced.

Problems with the converter

The converter is one of the connecting links in the signal transmission chain. Being constantly outside, he takes on the weather influences and Negative influence external environment. When purchasing equipment you are given warranty service within 1 year. In practice, the part is used for 3-6 years.

An ordinary user will not be able to detect a breakdown. If other options for signal deficiency are excluded, the part should be replaced.

A new converter can be purchased at the sales office. Replacement instructions:

Disconnect the element from the fastening;
Without moving the antenna, secure the new converter;
Check the range of signal stability on the corresponding scales displayed using the receiver menu on the TV;
If the settings are lost, re-adjust the plate.

When you call a support specialist, you will have to pay for the services of identifying the problem and installing a new part if replacement is necessary.

Interference on the way to the satellite

Interference is various objects that appear on the signal transmission line from the satellite to the antenna:

Tree branches;
Construction of a high-rise building;
Snow accumulation.

The method for removing an obstacle depends on the object that has arisen. The subscriber can simply reinstall the antenna to clear the signal path. After the transfer, you will need to configure the signal again.

Checking the serviceability of LNB “heads”

The functionality of the “heads” is determined after the disk drive (several converters) is turned off. After which each one is connected to the receiver.

The receiver does not turn on from the remote control

If there is no response to the remote control buttons, you should perform the action using the button panel on the receiver itself. If the actions are performed, then the receiver is functioning. After changing the batteries in the remote control, check the control using the remote control again. Operation did not resume - you need to use a different remote control.

Craftsmen can try to check the functionality of the remote control in another way. A camera is used for this mobile phone. Point the remote control LED at the camera that is turned on.

While looking into the camera and pressing buttons at the same time, monitor the LED indication:

If after changing the batteries the LED does not start blinking, then you should buy a new remote control.

Repairing a device with rare glows is carried out by disassembling the case and cleaning the surface of the board with a damp cloth, soapy water and a dry rag. After all cleaning operations, dry the parts and assemble the remote control. If the flash does not become constant when viewed through the camera, a new device is required.

Technical malfunctions of the receiver

The receiver is the link responsible for receiving the signal and transmitting the video stream. Technical components of the device may break down or software problems may occur. The receiver itself has a warranty period (1 year), during which specialists must repair the device.

If a breakdown occurs after the end of the warranty period, you can self-diagnosis or give it to service center. Problems that often occur are displayed as errors on the TV screen or the device itself. Please note that the following errors are specific to some models:

DRE 5000, 7300, 5001;
DRS 5003;
GS 7300, 8300, 8300N, 8300M.

For other receivers, the same errors may occur.

When turned on, the receiver screen flashes

A flashing display indicates a faulty power supply. This may be due to a power surge. The use of a surge protector or stabilizer will protect against damage.

When turned on, Boot appears on the screen

The letter combination “BOOT” indicates two problems:

Software failure, which requires flashing the device;
The motherboard is not working properly or is broken.

You can reflash the device yourself by finding software for this receiver model. In such a situation, the user loses everything warranty obligations equipment supplier. If the re-flashed receiver does not start sending a signal, then they resort to replacing the motherboard.

The motherboard is replaced at a repair center. There are brave souls who do it with their own hands. Then you will need to disassemble the receiver and remove old element. Such actions will void the warranty.

All the symbols on the receiver screen light up and it does not turn on

The lighting of all indicators and symbols allows us to conclude that there was software glitch. In some cases, the motherboard breaks down. After disassembling the receiver, specialists will be able to determine the true cause of the failure. At normal functioning The power supply will be replaced by the motherboard. When other boards are also damaged, it is better to buy new equipment, since the cost of repairs can be high.

The message “Short circuit!” appears on the receiver screen. Check antenna cable!

The message is translated as “short circuit”. The process can occur in several areas. Diagnostic stages:

If the message disappears after disconnecting antenna wire, then the cause for concern may be a broken converter, plate or short circuit in the wire;
Inspect the wire for signs short circuit, unhooking it from the converter;
When the wire was pulled out, the message did not disappear - the tuner unit had failed.

The subscriber can diagnose the breakdown himself.

The receiver displays "ER31"

The inscription implies a failure of the motherboard. It is better to replace the part at a service center.

The receiver does not turn on after a software update

Updated software may not install correctly. As a result receiver won't turn on. The subscriber must follow the reset steps:

In the receiver Menu, find and open the “Settings” section;
Select the “Reset” command;
After confirmation, wait for the end of the process and reboot the receiver;
When turning on, you may need to enter an access code - then enter the combination “0000”;
After logging in, the necessary parameters are set (language, time, location);
To install TV channels, you need to perform a search operation and save the changes.

Sometimes the problem is simply solved by turning off the receiver for 30-45 minutes and then booting into normal mode. This method can also be used by users who flashed the device on their own.

What to do if none of the methods helped

After diagnosing the equipment and eliminating all possible breakdowns, you can contact the service center. First you need to remember about the warranty, if it is still valid. Typically the period is 12 months. Having found the warranty card, contact the nearest service center. Employees after quick diagnostics will be able to repair the broken part free of charge.

When the warranty has already expired, you will have to take the product for service under normal conditions. Specialists can open the case and identify the cause. After which they will offer to carry out repair work, voicing the cost of spare parts and repair procedures. It is worth considering that a long service life of the receiver leads to the exhaustion of the intended resource. Therefore, for greater savings it is better to buy new receiver than repairing an old receiver.

Questions from subscribers

What should I do if the receiver does not turn on after a power outage?

You should check the functionality of the power supply.

How can you tell if the receiver is burned out?

The device does not respond when the buttons are turned on and the indication does not turn on.

Why does the receiver turn on and off on its own?

The cause may be outdated software, inadvertent failure of the power adapter, or contact problems.

This receiver opens a new stage in the development of the digital TV project; a new special receiver of a separate series, GS B210, was created especially for the exchange. This unit will be used to exchange old receivers for new standard at a lower price than the main receivers.

GS B210 - receiver packaging

The receiver was packaged in original packaging from the operator, with clearly recognizable features. The main feature of the packaging is its small size. The packaging dimensions are only 21.5 cm width, 13.5 cm height, 7 cm thickness.

GS B210 - receiver packaging, general view

As a result of the struggle for every centimeter, the plant took into account every millimeter of space. As you can see, everything is very dense, there is practically no room for walking at all. The remote control, lanyard, power supply and adapter are separated from the receiver by thick cardboard.

For the convenience of users, the receiver is equipped with books from the operator.

One has Full description receiver, in another complete guide subscriber » about services and subscriptions » . Many subscribers can refresh their memory by reading these books.

The B210 receiver has a long warranty, provided that the subscriber does not lose his warranty card. This coupon has several degrees of protection and good printing.

The receiver is very small compared to all its predecessors.

On the front panel, we see the power button. On the back we see: antenna input, USB connector, HDMI, tulips, connector for external IR sensor, power connector.

The power supply for this receiver is also original. The size of this block is now the same as the block size for cell phones, the struggle for size is affecting, the consumption characteristics and output voltage remained the same 12 volts, 1.8 amperes.

GS B210 - remote control

The remote control remained unchanged, we know it well from other models of the family of receivers for viewing the operator

An interesting adapter is included in the kit, and it is interesting because it will not work in this receiver, look at the direction of its operation. Perhaps you put in the wrong adapter by mistake, anything is possible.

GS B 210 - receiver housing

The obvious change for the manufacturer is plastic. Now the decorative cover and the receiver trough are made of plastic. Below we see ears for attaching the receiver to the wall. This solution will help you hide the receiver away from view or hang it on the wall.

GS B210 - receiver card

Having disassembled the receiver, we see that there are now no components. There is only the main board, it even has an integrated receiver card for the smart card.

GS B210 - CPU

The receiver motor will be new processor STiH 237 , General Satellite had already used it in their receivers before, only in the U210 they used it with a radiator, but not here.

GS B210 - board markings

Let's pay attention to the production date, it is not so fresh. Apparently the receiver took several months to get perfected.

GS B210 - main board

The quality of installation does not cause any complaints. There is nothing to find fault with him for. This is already pleasing; in the Chinese things are usually not so neat.

GS B 210 - smart card slot

GS B210 - possible problems receiver

It is not clear why the company took this path; possible problems in the future are already noticeable in the receiver. These are a slot for a smart card and a central indicator diode. Time will tell how long they will last and how to treat them, but it is already clear that the designers did not take into account the experience of servicemen in repairing receivers, which is a pity.

GS B210 - receiver indicator, red

If we compare it with the 8305-06-07-08 family, then on this receiver the operating diagram of the receiver is more clear. In one mode it is turned off, the indicator color is red.

GS B210 - receiver indicator, green

In other mode, the indicator color is green. The receiver is working. There is no display, there are no channel switching buttons.

This is much clearer than what happened before, when the receiver indicator blinks.

The receiver menu is also well known to us, there is no point in describing it in detail, this circuit has already been used on the U210, U510 receivers. All steps to configure and configure the receiver are simple and logical, the receiver itself will tell you what to do next.

We present you a video review of the GS B210 receiver

Enjoy your viewing!

What does a smart card look like:

On the processor we see the processor markings, as we see, the markings are slightly different for version 1, a green circle and for version 2 a red circle.

At the request of our readers and viewers of the video channel, we are adding a video on the GS B211 receiver. New photo There is no point in doing a review because the GS B 210 and GS B 211 receivers are identical. The main difference is the processor, which in the GS B211 model is now made almost independently, and the method of attaching the connector to the antenna. The processor is exactly the same as before, but now it is finally assembled, as plant representatives say, right at the factory. As a result of self-production, the processor has become a little thicker, but this fact does not particularly affect the speed characteristics.
