Tricolor TV company is confidently increasing its client base. On the territory of Russia, more than 50% of the market uses its services, and this is a very high indicator. Such a scale is not surprising, because the company offers an extensive list of opportunities for its customers, and they relate not only to watching TV channels, but also accessing the Internet in Smart TV mode.
To ensure work, the company uses only the best equipment: receivers, antennas, modules, access cards, etc. In addition, there is software that needs updating regularly in order to stay in the same excellent condition. How to update software Tricolor TV modules without the help of specialists, we will try to tell you now.
Equipment groups that regularly require updates
There are more than three dozen receivers on the official website of Tricolor TV. But it doesn't take long to find the right software for each one. It comes out on a group basis, you just need to find out which group your device belongs to.
The module versions have minor, but noticeable differences, therefore, when choosing, you need to know which Tricolor module you have. More details can be found on the official website in the "Help" section. For example, consider some groups:
Receivers GS. This group includes receivers GS - U210, E212, B210-212;
DRE / DRS receivers. These are modifications of devices 4000, 5000, 5001, 5003 and 7300. Their function is to receive and produce free and TV;
Module ci and ci +. It is a conditional access module, since it comes with a smart card for viewing content on an encoded TV channel.
CI device features
The ci module has some unique characteristics that set it apart from other set-top boxes for receiving satellite channels. The size of the device is minimal, which makes it much easier to work with. But this module can be installed not on all TVs, but only on modern models that provide a CI or CI + port. If it is not there, then you will not be able to connect with the help of this device to satellite TV.
If the port is still available, then it will not be difficult to connect the CI module for watching satellite TV. In order to do this, you need to carefully place the smart card into the slot that is on the TV. It is advisable that the receiver is already built-in, which allows you to save on the purchase of other equipment.
Another important nuance is that the cam module is selected based on the encoding. In particular, the module needs the latest version to be configured. It is advisable to dwell on the "DRECrypt" format, which is guaranteed to allow you to connect and configure high-quality HD television.
Preparing for the upgrade
Before starting the update, a number of procedures should be carried out that will keep the TV intact, otherwise the user risks being left with the updated module, but with a non-working TV.
First of all, you need to check the correctness of the software version, and for this, the following steps are taken:
Wait until the necessary information appears on the monitor.
Preparation of receiving equipment:
The receiver is turned off by pressing the power button and disconnecting it from the network;
The last moment is to turn on the power button on the front panel, and on the remote control "Standby".
If you have successfully completed this procedure, you can proceed to the next step, namely, to update.
Software update via satellite
Updating yourself is not so difficult, especially if you do it via satellite, which means that you do not use any extraneous tools and devices. But there is only one condition - in order for these actions to be performed, the TVs must have a connection to a satellite dish.
Before starting the update, the user needs to enable the Telemaster service. There are times when the service is not displayed among the channel list for some reason. If this is the case, then it is necessary to conduct a second search, and then it should appear;
Instead of searching for channels, a message may appear that the TV needs to update the module software. In this case, you need to confirm the action to start the procedure;
As soon as confirmation is given, a message will appear on the TV screen stating that the update has begun and its progress will be shown;
It is important to monitor the screen in order to adjust the updated processes, if necessary, but quite often everything happens automatically;
At the end of the procedure, the module will automatically restart. But if this does not happen, the restart procedure can be done manually. Then the changes that have been made will be fixed in the system.
The process is short-lived, but when it goes on, you won't be able to watch the channels. When the procedure is over, it is advisable to check if the software version has changed to make sure that the changes were successful. It is also very important not to turn off the TV while the update is in progress, remove the smart card or turn off the receiver. If this is done, the consequences will be disastrous.
The technical equipment works with the use of software - it not only adjusts the entire operation of the receiver system, but also allows the user to interact with a convenient interface. Updates are issued for each receiver at a certain frequency - thus the TricolorTV company ensures uninterrupted broadcasting of the picture and the correct connection between the receiver and the satellites. That is why you need to update the software of your receiver in a timely manner - otherwise, there is a risk of running into problems up to the termination of signal transmission. How to update, and is it possible with your receiver - read on.
Receiver software updates allow:
- Get rid of problems, lags and minor freezes of equipment.
- Integrate new features for subscriber use.
- Receiver to work faster and smoother.
- Provide new interface for more convenient user interaction with the system.
- Broadcast channels in a new encoding or in a new quality.
The update is usually released at regular intervals and in most cases involves just getting rid of old problems, whether it is fixing situations where the signal goes out or the receiver interface freezing with which the user interacts. Major updates may include a complete reorganization of the interface, the addition of serious and powerful functions, as well as the transition to new encodings when broadcasting some channels.
The receiver should also be updated in order not to discover one day that the broadcast of the channels is no longer supported old version Software - whether it's because of bugs in the old system, or because of company policy. Therefore, it is recommended to perform an upgrade every time the system claims to be available.
Update Methods
There are several ways to update TricolorTV. We will focus on the most common methods - updating using an internet connection and updating in a standard way via communication with a satellite.
Using the Internet
To use this method, you need to check if your receiver is connected to the worldwide network. To do this, the model must support such a connection, and the Internet cable must be placed in the receiver's Ethernet connector (like a conventional router).
On the TricolorTV website, you can see a table that describes which receivers can be updated in this way. You can find this information here at the end of the page:
Important! The information on the site is constantly updated. If your receiver is too new and has not yet been upgraded, you will have to wait for this to happen.
So, the internet cable is connected. In this case, a message should be displayed on any of the broadcast channels that a new version of the software is available to you. If this message is not there, the update, most likely, does not need to be done - you have the latest working version Software and everything works fine.
However, if a message appears, you must select the "Ok" option in order to start the upgrade process. As a rule, it lasts no more than 5-10 minutes (it depends on your internet speed).
The system will automatically download the required data packages and apply them in the process. Wait for the message that the receiver will now reboot - this will mean that the packages are installed. Do not turn off the receiver during the process, as you may accidentally interrupt the installation and the interface will stop working.
After rebooting, the system may ask you to confirm again that you agree to the update. This happens if you have installed an additional module for broadcasting channels in a certain quality. Once completed, the receiver can reboot again.
Important! If TricolorTV told you that you need to update the software, but the message does not appear on the channels, enter the equipment settings and click the button "Check for updates" in the section "Your receiver" or "About the receiver". If new software is available, you will be immediately prompted to start the upgrade process.
Via satellite
Any receiver can be upgraded via satellite, regardless of whether it has an Internet connection or not. The only difference will be in the interface - the phrases with which the system will notify you about the update stages may differ, as well as the sequence of actions. However, for 99% of receivers, the update algorithm works the same:
- The system checks for new data packages and informs the user about the opportunity to update.
- You switch to channel 333 through the general list of available channels.
- On the screen you see a message about the update from the satellite, where you can choose the option "Update" or "No" (sometimes "Yes" or "No").
- The process will start - it cannot be interrupted. Wait for all the sliders to reach their logical end.
- After the end of the process, the equipment will automatically reboot to apply the changes.
- In the status of the receiver, you can see the new software number.
For the further operation of the receiver, you do not need to do anything - the system will immediately be available for interaction, and the channels will continue to be broadcast as usual.
Attention! When updating some receivers, before switching to channel 333, the user needs to unplug the receiver from the outlet and reconnect the equipment after 10-20 seconds. Look in detail on the website by choosing instructions for your model:
