The "Tricolor TV" receiver is the main device in the set of satellite equipment. As practice shows, it is he who has the highest cost. Most of our compatriots, when choosing a receiver, make a decision based on their financial capabilities. But it is not always justified. The ability to view many additional channels and the quality of the picture on the TV screen depends on its functionality. You should also consider the interface
connections. Cheap devices have a limited set of connectors and it is not always possible to connect to a TV. All this must be remembered at the stage of choosing a device such as the Tricolor TV receiver.
Entry level models
Conventionally, satellite signal receivers can be divided into groups:
- Working with MPEG-2 signal
- Working with MPEG-2/MPEG-4 signal
The first type of devices is slowly disappearing into oblivion, but its low cost contributes to a stable level of sales. It makes sense to buy such receivers only if the TV diagonal is small and will not be available in the foreseeable future. TV set is scheduled to be replaced. Also, any Tricolor TV receiver must be equipped with a card reader or equipped with a DRE CAM module. Without it, there will be no physical viewing possible. The most inexpensive tuners - costing from 40 US dollars. Before purchasing, you should also pay attention to the availability of the necessary connectors for connecting to a TV. To do this, the documentation for it is viewed and possible connectors for connection are determined - SCART or RCA (tulip). The most favorable option is when the Tricolor TV receiver is equipped with both. A COM port must also be displayed for connecting to a PC via RS-232 (this will greatly simplify the process of updating the device software). In this segment, the most popular models are DIGIRAUM DRE 4000 and DIGIRAUM DRE 7300, which meet all the previously stated requirements.
Advanced Systems
All of the above must be included in more expensive receivers starting at $65. In addition, they are equipped with a USB port and an HDMI interface. The first of them is sometimes intended purely for software updates (for example, a device from the General Satellite GS-8307B trademark). In some cases, it can also be used to play video, watch photos, and listen to music (the same JEFERSON X-008). The HDMI interface delivers the best picture quality on the latest 32" and larger TVs. In such a situation, the receiver "Tricolor HD"complemented by a high-definition TV, and the picture with sound is simply excellent. This is the optimal bundle, which in the next few years will definitely be relevant,
because no new standards are expected yet, and their implementation will take some time. And such systems are already successfully operated and have managed to prove themselves from the best side.
Recommendations
Now we use receivers for "Tricolor TV". It is right to buy more expensive devices that can work simultaneously in two encodings - MPEG-2 and MPEG-4. This will allow you to get better picture quality, more channels and various additional options (for example, watching videos from a flash drive).
