The equipment of the satellite operator "Orion-Express" recommended for use
To connect "Orion-Express" you need a receiver with a built-in receiver for the card, which understands the "Irdeto" encoding. You can use a receiver with a CI slot. Satellite dishes, which are recommended by experts, should have a diameter of 80-90 cm. Such a plate can be quite effective for this type of CT, because the satellite is in low orbit. It is not recommended to buy antennas with a diameter of less than 80 cm. Small dishes do not work well in adverse weather conditions, for example, during a thunderstorm.
When choosing a receiver, you need to pay attention to all its parameters, starting from the appearance of the device. Preferred are those devices that have on and off buttons on the front panel, buttons for switching channels, a "Menu" button, and a volume control. The convenience of such devices is confirmed by user reviews. The main convenience is that you can operate such a receiver even without a remote control. Devices with a Cl interface and support for a CAM module are suitable for receiving both open TV channels and encoded satellite signals.
The main parameter of the receiver that you need to pay attention to is the encoding that it perceives. The device must have a slot for special cards... For example, if you have a receiver installed to receive Tricolor-TB channels, you can also connect HTB-Plus. To do this, insert into the receiver slot a module supporting the "Viacess" encoding. Because both operators broadcast from one satellite (for the European part of Russia), then both signals can be received at once. The more slots the receiver has, the more providers you can connect to.
If you have chosen a receiver with a large number of built-in encodings, then in this case it is better to purchase a rotary antenna. This will make it easier to move from one satellite to another. If the satellites are located relatively close to each other, then several receiving heads (convectors) can be installed on a fixed antenna. In this case, the antenna diameter should not be less than 90 cm.
There are hard disk receivers that make it possible to watch films and broadcasts in automatic mode... This function allows you not to depend on the broadcasting grid - you can set the receiver to record necessary films and programs, and then view them in convenient time... Some devices allow you to watch one TV channel and simultaneously record another. Using the USB output, you can directly output the signal to your computer.
