The satellite receiver Skaway Nano 3 is the brainchild of the joint production of the Korean company FORTIS Inc and the Russian Skyway RUSSIA. The Nano 3 model supports modern HDTV and the legacy SD digital format. The device is a super-compact single-tuner budget-class receiver, however, in terms of its functionality and capabilities, it is practically in no way inferior to its counterparts - Classic 4 and Droid.
Receiver design
The package and appearance of the Skyway Nano 3 almost completely repeat the previous Nano 2 model. The only exception is that the Nano 3 receiver is not equipped with a USB hub. It's simply not necessary due to the three separate USB inputs.
On the front panel of the Skyway Nano 3 receiver there is a digital display and controls: buttons for turning on equipment and scrolling through channels. On the rear panel there is a card reader, an antenna input LNB IN that supports CI + modules, a CI slot, HDMI connectors, LAN, a COM port, three USB ports, RCA outputs, optical SPDIF and outputs through which a power supply is connected, an IR sensor extension cable.
Receiver processor
Like the other two models in the line, Skyway Nano 3 is based on a new high-performance processorSTiH237 Cardiff, which has minimal power consumption, low heat generation and rich multimedia capabilities. The receiver is equipped with a high-speed DDR3 RAM of increased capacity, so that the speed of its operation is increased several times compared to similar devices of other brands and models.
Ports
Three high-speed USB 2.0 ports allow you to connect any media to the Skyway Nano 3 receiver. Support for additional equipment and devices is carried out via USB ports: for example, connecting a Wi-Fi adapter makes it possible to access the Internet without laying a network cable. Surfing the world wide web is much faster and easier when you connect a mouse.
Connection via the Ethernet port allows you to connect the Skyway Nano 3 receiver to your home local network and exchange files between devices. The powerful processor of the new model provides a high speed of data exchange. The LAN port allows not only to connect to the Internet, but also to flash Skyway Nano 3 firmware: the integrated Internet browser provides the ability to quickly search the Internet without accessing a personal computer. Synchronization with the YouTube service allows you to watch video files on your TV screen.
Distinctive features of the Skyway Nano 3 receiver
The Nano 3 model can rightfully be considered a unique device on the market of similar satellite electrical engineering due to its features that distinguish it from analogues:
- Power supplyThe receiver is taken out of the case and is made in the form of a 12V adapter. The convenience of such a solution is obvious. In the event of a breakdown, the power supply can be bought at any electronics and home appliance store without resorting to repair and replacement of the receiver itself. An additional advantage is the reduction of heating of the device and the reduction of the likelihood of its failure in the event of power surges.
- The ability to place the receiver anywhere in the room due to a special extension cord that comes with the remote control. The signal from the remote control will pass through any obstacles, including furniture.
- The Nano 3 comes with a special holder, thanks to which the device can be attached to the back of the TV.
Flexible configuration of Skyway Nano 3 sharing and software created on the basis of the Linux operating system provides ample opportunities not only for users, but also for programmers who can create a variety of plug-ins to control and activate hidden features of the device.

Receiver Skyway Light 2
The Light 2 model is the youngest among all receivers in the Skyway HDTV line and is a compact single-tuner device in the budget category. In terms of its functionality and additional features, it is practically in no way inferior to Skyway Nano 3 and Classic 4.
The main difference of this model is the memory reduced by half (in comparison with other receivers of the Skyway line). The power of a similar STiH237 Cardiff processor is enough for file sharing.
Skyway Classic 4
The Classic 4 model, like both previous ones (Nano 3 and Light 2), is equipped with a high-performance STiH237 Cardiff processor with wide multimedia capabilities, which were noted by users in reviews of the Skyway Nano 3 receiver.standard - 512 MB, thanks to which the device can process files at high speed.
The Ethernet port allows you to connect the Classic 4 receiver to a local network and exchange files between devices. Files are opened and shared at high speed thanks to a powerful processor.
Special mention should be made of the function of supporting CAM-modules equipped with CI+ interface. Given the demands placed on operators by content rights holders and TV channels to protect multimedia products from interception and piracy, it is not surprising that providers have begun to impose restrictions on the installation and operation of familiar and convenient CAM modules. The new CI+ modules make it possible to form a secure channel between a digital TV receiver and a CAM decryption module, which is encrypted using special certificates. In fact, you can watch all TV channels on the receivers of the Skyway HDTV line by first installing the necessary CAM module with a card.
These models of receivers, which support the innovative CI+ interface, open up a wider perspective for users (compared to the expensive and famous Enigma2 receivers, which, unfortunately, do not have the CI+ function).
The combination of a powerful processor, unique CI+ interface support features, a modern media player and a wide range of programming options make the Skyway Nano 3 satellite receiver one of the most versatile, interesting and populardevices for lovers of satellite television. The affordable cost of the device, which is 6,500 rubles, allows you to purchase a fast, powerful and reliable device. The manufacturer guarantees long-term operation of the receiver and minimal risk of damage.
In reviews of the new receiver model, consumers write about its improved qualities - higher speed, the ability to place in a convenient place, high-speed OP. It is also noted that the price is quite affordable.
