GS B520 Receiver Applications and Features Overview
We have already shown you this receiver in our photo and video reviews, we checked it from all sides, looked at what it has inside. And after one of our videos, which we made and posted on the network, a proposal appeared - it would be nice to see the menu and all applications in the GS B 520 receiver in more detail. Today in this overview we will collect all our videos on the GS B 520 receiver applications and show you them. We will talk in more detail about almost every application. The main thing is not to forget that this receiver is recommended for viewing the operator's TV channels (NJSC "NSK" - non-public joint-stock company"National Satellite Company" legal education, brand owner ")
Let's start the GS B520 overview of the applications and functions of the receiver with an overview video in which we go through the entire menu of the GS B 520 receiver.
GS B520 overview of applications and functions of the new exchange receiver.
To do this, we connected our receiver to a TV set and began filming everything with a camera, now you can watch everything yourself and draw certain conclusions for yourself.
GS B520 an overview of the applications and functions of the receiver, in this first application overview you can see all the applications that are available on the GS B 520 receiver, then we will talk about each application in more detail.
Let's start the GS B520 review of applications by checking the operation of the receiver with an external drive, for this we need a USB flash drive on which we have prepared various files and folders in which there are videos and pictures in different formats.
We need this in order to check and see what the GS B 520 receiver can work with and what not.
Next, we will see in more detail how the GS B 520 with the recording function works, for this we need a USB flash drive or an external hard drive.
We will be using a USB stick. Let's check how the recording is going on. television channels, we will see what messages the receiver shows when recording starts and when we need to stop recording. At the same time, it will be clearly seen what happens when the recording is prohibited by the operator (NSC NJSC - non-public joint-stock company National Satellite Company, legal entity, brand owner).
In this video we will see how the TV channel editor application works, it is possible that it will be useful to some of the users of this receiver.
This video shows the operation of the application that will help you change the receiver menu, with this application you can remove or add one or more applications from the main page.
We could not pass by one important application. In which you can see what kind of subscription you have. What is your personal receiver number and what software do you have.
This application is a personal account. Let's try to briefly describe its importance and functionality.
After looking at information from personal account let's move on to another application. Which shows us what films are being shown now and what will be on the screens of a group of TV channels in the near future - a cinema hall. As you can see, there is nothing complicated here. The controls are simple and straightforward.
We also wanted to turn our attention to the application - manual search TV channels…. It is possible that someone does not need it…. But of course, many people need this application. There was a time when this application was removed at the request of the operator. But after a time, when there were a lot of bad reviews and subscribers - they demanded to return it. GS (y) had no choice but to return it. Now you can see it in the receiver menu as new (for example GS B520). So also those that have been sold for a long time (for example, GS B210, GS U510). Several new TV channels can be added with this application. Of course, there is also a technical point - is your satellite antenna catch them.
* The operator's logo is present on the screen of the tested TVs during the functional check. (NJSC "NSK" - non-public joint-stock company "National satellite company" legal entity, brand owner ")
