We update the software of the tricolor module. Equipment for digital television is what you can buy in our Cam store, a module stitched for all channels

Recommended receivers forviewing channels Maximum HD,and in nowadays not recommendedDRE NKE MPEG-4 CAM modules use a common NKE-1 chip fromby Neotion. This chipallows to providedecoding of paid channels,who use codialignment DRE-Crypt 3.0 / ADEC when working with the required cardaccess. That is, in everythingequipment that used toused to open HDchannels, the same is usedcircuit solution. This omission in the future andallowed to disassembleteams responsible for participating indecoding channels andapply them in software for CAMmodules, but more on that later.

Begs a logical question - why onone equipment onyou can still watchchannels, but not on the other?

NKE-1 chip uses as standardexternal memory that caninstructions be loaded,used by him for work, and inoverall, this allowschange a the algorithm of functioning, so to speak,use overcrypt. INas a result, initially CAMmodules were not supplied inseven instructions for DRE encodingCrypt 3.0. And for recommended receivers, inin the absence of suchinstructions, and was producedsoftware updateprovision via satellite. Sothus, the operator Tricolor TV deliberately refused tosoftware updatesproviding their CAM modules,who support suchopportunity, and called them simply - non-recommended equipment.

How did you find a solution given problem?

Since Tricolor TV after free testing their HDchannels included in the packageMaximum HD (Tricolor Full HD), onCAM modules have not encounteredsignificant problems, then he later embodied thissolution in their recommended modelsreceivers without significantchanges in circuitry.

Accordingly, the commands used for decoding tV channels in a new modificationdRE-Crypt 3.0 / ADEC encodings, canapply as on CAM modulesDRE NKE MPEG-4, and onrecommended receivers. As a result, after a shortmanipulations with internal software(dumps) for CAM modules,their new modification appearedfrom craftsmen.

How can the software of the CAM DRE module be modified?

Currently posted memory dumps for CAM modulesversions 4010 and 4020, which in theirtime were sold together withaccess cards Tricolor TV - 23 and

24 episodes. To change the software you need carefully open the module case,extract a board from it, usinghot air gun remove flash microcircuit

memory - Atmel AT25DF161, flash its new dump on the programmer and after installationher on board, collect everything in returnsequence. Memory dumpsfor CAM modules DRE NKE MPEG-4can be found on manyspecialized Internet resources dealingdiscussion of this issue. INin case you can'tdo these manipulations, thenyou can look for a specialist,which will help or change your module to alreadymodified.

What else do you need to watch HD channels, besides modified module?

Sold jointly with CAM access card module 23 and 24tricolor TV series hadlimited subscriptions toprovided by the operatorservices. That is, the work was not originally planned in them.separate HD subscriptiontV channels. It could beset a long time ago whenusers of such cards triedto officially subscribe to the Maximum HD TV channel package, butoperator by DRE ID card numberimmediately wrapped up all these attemptsand they simply endedfailure. After finishingtest broadcast of channels in high definition, Tricolor TVmade a change instantlythe subscription class to view themand all cards from CAM modulesthey simply cannot anymoreopen, even if you use such cards in the recommendedreceiver operator.

How can you solve the issue with class of subscription to HD channels fromaccess cards?

Now, this problem can be the solution is quite simple -purchased the cheapest, butrecommended by Tricolor TVsatellite receiver together withaccess card for viewing the Maximum HD package. For example,you can stay on the budget model GS8306, and it doesn't matter that this receiveron work has negative reviews.

Then it is made official registration of equipment with card activationaccess, which in the futureremoved from the receiver and itstows away in a safe place

That is, smart cards that sold with modules, no longeropen HD channels?

As mentioned above, that such access cards 23 or 24series simply do not havesubscription class to viewpackage Maximum HD, therefore withoutcertain tricks this question will not be possiblefix. In time whenthe algorithm of work will be studieddRE-Crypt 3.0 / ADEC encodings, notdisclosure of commands is excluded,responsible for working with subscription classes, as a result of which you canwill modify the recordeddata on the map. Also, there isanother option - since smart

cards are property operator, while assuming that he has no 13 series cardsand those that were sold together withCAM modules DRE NKE MPEG-4, then

if it fails, he can replace it withmodern version.

What else can you do operator Tricolor TV?

Since the DRE Crypt 3.0 / ADEC encoding is not yet complete studied and disclosed, then the operator canfurther use ithidden modifications. As a resultwhat for recommended receivers - it will endjust standardsoftware update from satellite,after which they continuecontinue to open HDtV channels, as if nothing had happened before. For CAM modules the sameyou will need to edit the memory dump andtheir subsequent flashing intomanual mode. This operationhelp facilitate specialan interface that will allow you to reflash modules without themdisassembly and retrievalflash memory chips, in thisdirection and are produced nowsearch. And it shouldn'tforget that the magician sometimes runs out of hidden"Cards" in the sleeve. So is the TricolorTV after opening all itsavailable "cards", simplywill be left with nothing.

Tricolor TV HD channels are available again through modules.

So, the essence of the question is as follows - both in the recommended receivers for viewing the Maximum HD channels, and in the DRE NKE MPEG-4 CAM modules not recommended now, a common NKE-1 chip from Neotion is used.

This chip allows decoding of paid channels that use DRE-Crypt 3.0 / ADEC encoding when working together with the required access card. That is, in all the equipment that was previously used to open HD channels, the same circuit design is used.

This omission later made it possible to disassemble the teams responsible for participating in channel decoding and use them in the software for CAM modules, but more on that later. And here a logical question arises - why is it still possible to watch channels on one equipment, but not on the other? The NKE-1 chip uses external memory as standard, into which the instructions used by it for operation can be loaded, and in general, thanks to this, it is possible to change the operating algorithm, so to speak, use overcrypt. As a result, initially CAM modules were not provided with all instructions for encoding DRE-Crypt 3.0 / ADEC.

And for the recommended receivers, in the absence of such instructions in them, the software was updated via satellite. Thus, the operator Tricolor TV deliberately refused to update the software of its CAM modules, which support such a possibility, and called them, in short, “non-recommended equipment.

How did you manage to find a solution to this problem?

Since Tricolor TV, after free testing of its HD channels included in the Maximum HD package (Tricolor Full HD), did not encounter significant problems on CAM modules, it later implemented this solution in its recommended receiver models without significant changes in circuitry. Accordingly, the commands used for decoding TV channels in the new modification of the DRE-Crypt 3.0 / ADEC encoding can be used both on DRE NKE MPEG-4 CAM modules and on recommended receivers. As a result, after a short manipulation of the internal software (dumps) for CAM modules, a new modification from folk craftsmen appeared.

How can the software of the CAM module be modified?

At present, memory dumps for CAM modules of versions 4010 and 4020 have been posted, which at one time were sold together with access cards of Tricolor TV - 23 and 24 series. To change the software, you need to carefully open the module case, remove the board from it, use a hot air gun to remove the flash memory chip - Atmel AT25DF161, flash it with a new dump on the programmer and after installing it on the board, assemble everything in reverse order. Memory dumps for CAM modules DRE NKE MPEG-4 can be found already on many specialized Internet resources discussing this issue. If you cannot do these manipulations, then you can look for a specialist who will help or change your module to an already modified one, simply by paying the difference for the work.

What else do you need to watch HD channels, besides the modified module?

Tricolor TV series 23 and 24 access cards sold together with the CAM module had limited subscriptions to the services provided by the operator. That is, they did not initially plan to work as a separate subscription to HD TV channels. This could have been established a long time ago, when users of such cards tried to officially subscribe to the Maximum HD TV channel package, but the operator using the DRE ID card number immediately wrapped up all these attempts and they simply ended in failure. After the completion of the test broadcasting of channels in high definition, Tricolor TV immediately changed the subscription class to view them and all cards from CAM modules simply cannot open them anymore, even if such cards are used in receivers recommended by the operator.

How can you solve the issue with the class of subscription to HD channels at the access card?

Now, this problem can be solved quite simply - the most inexpensive but recommended Tricolor TV satellite receiver is purchased together with an access card for viewing the Maximum HD package. For example, you can stay on the GS 8305 model, and it doesn't matter that this receiver has negative reviews for its work. After that, the equipment is officially registered with the activation of the access card, which is subsequently removed from the receiver and removed to a safe storage location. Further, such an access card is installed in a modified CAM access module and used on your favorite satellite receiver.

That is, smart cards that were sold with modules will no longer open HD channels?

As mentioned above, such 23 or 24 series access cards simply do not have a subscription class for viewing the Maximum HD package, therefore, without certain tricks, this issue cannot be corrected. Over time, when the algorithm of the DRE-Crypt 3.0 / ADEC encoding is studied, it is possible that the commands responsible for working with the subscription classes will be revealed, as a result of which it will be possible to modify the recorded data on the card. Also, there is another option - since smart cards are the property of the operator, while assuming that he does not have 13 series cards left and those that were sold together with DRE NKE MPEG-4 CAM modules, then if it fails , he can replace it with a modern version.

What else can the Tricolor TV operator do?

Since the DRE-Crypt 3.0 / ADEC encoding has not yet been fully studied and disclosed, the operator can continue to use its hidden modifications. As a result, for the recommended receivers, this will simply end with a standard software update from the satellite, after which they will continue to open HD TV channels, as if nothing had happened before. For CAM modules, you will need to edit the memory dump and then reflash them in manual mode. This operation will be facilitated by a special interface that will allow reflashing the modules without disassembling them and removing the flash memory chip, in this direction, searches are now being carried out. Moreover, one should not forget that the magician sometimes runs out of hidden “cards” in his sleeve. So Tricolor TV, after opening all its existing "cards", will simply be left with nothing.

In modern society, it is difficult to meet a family that does not use satellite TV. Connecting a satellite dish is one of the best solutions for watching TV channels, given the favorable tariffs of operators. The highest quality and therefore the most popular provider is Tricolor TV. It is important to understand that satellite TV is a program that needs to be rebooted and updated (firmware). Today we will look at how you can independently update the software of the Tricolor module.

Tricolor TV regularly releases updates for its software. You need to keep track of them on the official website of the company so that your CI module does not fail. This procedure does not take much time and completely free for registered users.

CI is a built-in module, the software is necessary for safe and high-quality broadcast of closed channels.

Another reason why you need to monitor the release of new module software is that users who have missed one or more versions for updating will not be able to carry out the procedure on their own.

Software update instructions

Any company values \u200b\u200bits customers and cares about their comfort, expanding or improving their services. So Tricolor TV is constantly working to improve its service. For high-quality and uninterrupted operation of your receiver, you need to regularly monitor the release of new software. So, even the 2016 GS receivers need to be updated to the latest firmware version-2017. Of course, no one wants to carry their device to a service center.

Do not forget that having missed one update, you will have to take the receiver to the service center, since it will be impossible to perform the procedure yourself.

Software update message

So how do you independently update the software of the Tricolor module? To do this is quite simple, the main thing is to follow the instructions:

1. If your receiver is working, then restart the device, if it is in the off state, turn it on.
2. The next step is to turn on the Tricolor TV channel on your TV.
3. The company does everything for the convenience of its customers, so the software update window will pop up on its own after a while.
4. In the selection menu, click the "yes" icon. In order not to go to the provider's website, you can use this method to timely learn about new updates.
5. You will start the update process and you can see the progress on your screen. The average waiting time is 5 minutes.
6. After the latest version is installed, the receiver will automatically reboot.
7. After turning on the TV, it is worth checking. To do this, go back to the Tricolor channel and check your version against the specified update on the official website.

If all the steps are correct, and everything matches, then in the near future you can forget about failures in the broadcast. Your TV will show like a clock.

If, when turned on after flashing, your receiver does not respond to the remote control signal, do not be alarmed. Just turn it on with the button on the standby device itself.

Remember that the update process will have to regularly... If for some reason you forgot or could not make the firmware, contact the service center.

Conclusion

Satellite television, like any technical progress, requires special care. If you want uninterrupted and high-quality broadcasting, then do not forget to update your device software. After all, old firmware can cause various malfunctions of equipment: error 5 or error 10 may appear. Better to spend 5 minutes now than a few hours later when you have to take your receiver to the Tricolor service center.

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. This 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 to stay in the same excellent condition. We will now try to tell you how to update the software of Tricolor TV modules without the help of specialists.

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:

GS receivers. This group includes receivers GS - U210, E212, B210-212;

DRE / DRS receivers. These are modifications of 4000, 5000, 5001, 5003 and 7300 devices. Their function is to receive and produce free and encrypted Tricolor TV channels;

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 desirable 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, you need the latest module to configure. It is advisable to dwell on the "DRECrypt" format, which is guaranteed to allow you to connect and configure high-quality HD television.

Preparing to 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 stage, 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 outside 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 for some reason is not displayed in the channel list. If so, 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 whether the software version has changed to make sure that the changes were successful. In addition, it is 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.

Probably already aware that there are various inexplicable glitches with the Tricolor modules. I think it's time to deal with the modules and especially with the novelty, the self-tuning CAM module Delgado.

I'll start, as always, with an eye on the modules, so to speak, thoughts.

It is not news that now the tricolor CI + module itself is used on modern TVs with a built-in satellite tuner (Samsung, LG, Sony, Philips), as well as some alternative satellite receivers.

However, I found out something for myself from the CI + modules from the tricolor. As we know, there are first CI + without bulbs and they are mostly problem-free. But there is a frank marriage!

There are three variants of modules with Delgado LEDs in stores.

Two options in blue and one in red. In red they come with a new firmware and on TVs they can scan channels according to the operator's list, i.e. Like, a separate profile is created on the TV.

You can make two lists, under one profile the channel layout is the same as for the operator, and the second is arbitrary and you can sort it yourself as you wish.

Switch between profiles from the channel list. Recently, blue delgado modules have appeared on sale, one to one in appearance, like the first delgado, but their firmware is like on red modules.

New module, blue with indicator.

So, in order for this module to work on the receiver, it is imperative that the receiver be loaded on the tricolor channel, in this case there are no problems.

But if you load the receiver on an open channel or, for example, on NTV + and then switch to Tricolor, then this module will not work until you reset it to the factory settings in the menu.

Keep this in mind when purchasing modules!

The new modules are great for TV, when you turn it on, it immediately offers to create a Tricolor TV profile. For example, who has many satellites and a receiver on the enigma, then with a new module you need to assign a starting channel when loading from a tricolor.

Then there will be no problem.

However, let's continue about the self-tuning CAM module Delgado

Self-adjusting official CAM-module from Tricolor TV with support for HD and Ultra HD package. Who does not know, then I will reveal a "big secret", now Tricolor TV can be watched not only on specialized receivers.

Here, for specialized ones, I think, which are expensive and, at the same time, frankly not good enough.

And so, the self-adjusting CAM module Delgado fits in modern TVs with a built-in satellite tuner (Samsung, LG). In addition to tago in some alternative receivers (for example, Openbox S3 CI +, AS4K CI +, AS4K PRO, Vu + Uno 4K SE, Solo 4K, Ultimo 4K).

In my penates, the module is sold in a set with a smartcard, it has a subscription to the Unified Ultra HD package for 7 days.

There are 6 Ultra HD channels, 30 HD channels, about 200 TV channels in normal quality, 12 branded cinemas and more than 35 radio stations. As I understand it, Tricolor extends the Unified Ultra HD package for a year and it costs 2,000 rubles.

As already mentioned, a new CI + DRE CRYPT 4K smart card is included with the module. Electronic conditional access module Conditional Access Module CI + 4K (Current SW version of the module SW 1.0.0)

NOTE, that the new version of the Tricolor TV module with a card (On previously released modules, channels of the ultra high definition Ultra HD 4K format may not be played correctly).

But I am glad that seven Ultra HD (4K) channels are already available in Tricolor TV, this list of ultra-clear channels is constantly growing:

Channel One Ultra HD, Serial UHD, Russian Extreme 4K, Cinema Ultra HD, INSIGHT UHD, Fashion One 4K and Ultra HD Cinema

If we talk about the Single Ultra HD package, then of course, if desired, the user can subscribe to other Tricolor TV packages (Night, Children's, Football).

Of course, it's good that if you have a compatible TV, a satellite receiver is not required, control is performed by one TV remote control.

What does the fantastic word "self-tuning" module mean?

You simply install the module into the slot of the TV to which the satellite dish is connected. Of course, the antenna should hit 36 \u200b\u200bdegrees on the Eutelsat satellite.

And lo and behold, after a few seconds the TV will offer to automatically find Tricolor TV channels. That is, there is now no fuss with clogging the transponder frequencies manually, as it was on the previous versions of the Tricolor TV modules.

Fast, simple and convenient.

For the sake of interest, a new Delgado CAM module was installed on an LG TV (LED 2014), the auto-tuning function worked correctly.

However, it is IMPOSSIBLE to guarantee that the module will self-adjust on all TV models of different brands!

Please note: the module works only in slots with CI + support.

This is not a problem for TVs, all modern models support CI +, but satellite receivers with such support are quite rare.

As already noted, from those known to me, these are Openbox S3 CI +, Formuler F4 Turbo, S4 PRO +, S6 PRO +, SX4 Base, SX4, SX6, SX9, AS1, AS2, AS4K, VU + Solo SE, Solo2, Zero 4K, Uno 4K, Solo 4K, Ultimo 4K.

Unfortunately, all other popular Linux devices do not yet have CI + support.

Self-adjusting CAM module Delgado differs from previous versions by a sticker on the front part and by the presence of a light-diode.

With its help, it is convenient to determine whether the initialization of the module in the slot of the TV or satellite receiver was successful.

If there are problems, then the diode is red, if everything is good - green.

In addition, the module works on the basis of new libraries and, as the operator of Tricolor assures, compatibility with various TV models has been improved.

As already noted, basic receivers for Tricolor TV have rather modest characteristics, relatively poor capabilities and a very high cost.

Often, alternative receivers bypass them in all respects. In addition, it is particularly advantageous to use the Tricolor TV HD CAM in new TVs with an integrated satellite tuner.

The module has some limitations:

- you can watch 1 channel + use the timeshift function
- you can record and watch the same channel
- recordings of TV programs made by the CI + module cannot be played on a computer or other receivers.
