How to decode tricolor tv channels yourself. Tricolor TV and all freebie options Free tricolor on dre 5000

October 2012. During the week, 15 pieces of GS-8300 were brought with dead power supplies, up to blown tracks, cracked PCB and burnt SMD resistors.

How everything happened is clear - the electrolytic or oxide capacitor at the input (C5) dries up, gives ripples, but so far everything is working. The transistor of the primary winding of the transformer (Q1) overheats, the SMD parts burn out around it, the board tracks crack and the power supply becomes faulty.

Native power supplies ran out long ago, and GS-8300 receivers kept coming and going. Of course, repairs were possible by fusing tracks, installing jumpers, soldering parts - in short, it was possible to restore the power supply from the ashes and at the same time it would work properly, although the work did not look very aesthetically pleasing and the client was better off not seeing the result of the master's actions. And, of course, it took a lot of time to repair each unit.

Therefore, I went the other way - I took it and adapted it for the GS-8300 receiver, but I'll just make a reservation that there are several models of power supplies for the DRE-5000, the left one is suitable in the photo below - it is also the most common (the right one in the image does not pass in height )

Pinout of DRE-500 and GS-8300 connectors

	12 V	frame

	3.3 V	3.3 V
	3.3 V	3.3 V

So, what needs to be redone in the block is to remove the 8th and 10th wires from the block and cut them off from the power supply itself (we do not throw out one of them, it will be useful to us later), cut off the place of the block for the 10th wire with a knife, in total our connector has become 9-pin, we rearrange the 7th wire into slot 8, plug the cut off wire into slot 7 and solder it to wire 6. Total - we get the GS-8300 connector, although instead of 24V we will have 22V, but this insignificant and tested over the years - does not affect the result.

Further, mechanical adjustment of the power supply unit - we break out the place for the com port socket with pliers, with the same tool we reduce the block length by 3-5 mm. And finally, we transfer the capacitor C1, making room for the power switch

We connect the network wire. We insert the block, placing an insulator - you can plastic from the bottle, fasten it with one screw, the second attachment point is a groove on the body. ready, it remains to close the lid

Thus, about 300 receivers were repaired, in two years one return - C17 was knocked out

- (not official!) - This software is developed on the basis of the official 3.4.369 (the one that flows from the satellite 07.10.13g.) The main difference of this firmware is that advertising banners are not shown when switching channels. It works stably.

Features of this firmware:

2 - from the main menu, remotely the submenu search for tricolor-tv channels (but it is still available in the menu >> settings >> automatic search >> search type >> tricolor tv) or during initial installation (reset to factory settings)

3 - when entering the main menu or the game menu, the picture does not disappear!

4 - removed from the side in the main nenya (in my opinion it was not harmonious :))

5 - the exit from the channel list is organized by double-clicking the ok button (in exactly the same way as it is organized in 99% of all tuners)

6 - when the game button was pressed, a swastika flaunted, the search for tricolor channels is now like a game swastika :)

7 - the algorithm of the EPG menu has been changed - now it is much more convenient (everything can be done with just one OK button)

8 - in the Tetris menu, the ok and up buttons are swapped

9 - possible, but not guaranteed !!! The reason for freezing of receivers with 11 series modules has been eliminated.

10 - the firmware already contains the current channels for 10/05/2013, all the garbage has been removed !!!

Past releases

The procedure is quite simple and does not require special skills from subscribers, you just need to follow the instructions for replacing the software from the info channel. The update process takes some time and you need to be patient and wait for the end. But in spite of all the warnings, some users do not wait for the software update process to finish and, as a result, the receiver stops working.

Practice shows that in very rare cases, even after waiting for the software update to finish, the receiver may not turn on after a reboot. There is only one diagnosis - a failure to update the software.

But don't despair. You can fix this yourself and at home if you have a computer or another similar working receiver at hand. How to do this is described below. Helps in 99% of cases of unsuccessful satellite software update.

Updating software from a computer.

1. We purchase / solder ourselves null modem cable

2. Disconnect the receiver and the computer from the network.

3. Connect the RS232 input of the receiver to the COM port on the computer.

4. Turn on the computer.

5., unpack and install the program

6.and unpack the required receiver firmware:

7. Run the program (the shortcut should appear on the desktop).

The following window will appear.

8. Press the Open File button and select the downloaded file with the firmware in the window that opens, having previously unzipped it.

9. Click on the Upload button, turn on the receiver to the network and turn on the Power button on the back of the receiver.

10. The progress bar of the File uploading process will start showing% and the time until the end of the software uploading process.

In this case, the letter L (Load) and% of the process will be displayed on the digital display of the receiver.

11. After that, the progress bar of the Burning process will start to show% and the time until the end of the software burning (flashing) process.

In this case, the letter b (burn) and% of the process will be displayed on the digital display of the receiver.

12. The software update process is now complete. Turn off the receiver and computer. Disconnect the null modem cable.

Record ID: 35 does not exist!

Updating software from the receiver (for example, DRE 5000).

For DRE 4000, DRE 5001, DRE 7300, the process is similar.

1. We purchase / solder ourselvesnull modem cable.
2. Disconnect the receivers from the network.
3. The working receiver must be connected to the TV. The problem receiver does not connect to the TV.
4. We connect both receivers together with a null modem cable.

The picture above shows a working receiver. Below is a problematic receiver.
4-2. We turn on the working receiver.
4-3. We enter the menu, select the item Settings.

5. Enter PIN. The default is 0000 (four zeros).

6. In the Settings menu, select Data Transfer.

7. A window will appear:

On the remote control, press the blue button.
8. Two scales appear. And the Data Processing scale will start to fill up.

9. When the Jackal Data Processing reaches 100%, the following inscription appears:

10. Turn on the non-working receiver - plug it in and turn on the Power behind the receiver.
11. The filling of the lower scale has begun.

The indicators of the receivers will display in% the progress of the data transfer / download process (on the display, the symbol L - Load, loading, on the lower receiver, 5 - transfer, on the upper).

12. After that, the TV will display:

Do not turn off the receivers !!! The process of writing the firmware to the flashed (faulty) receiver begins. In this case, the process indication WILL NOT occur on the TV screen. The indication process is visible on the display of the receiver being flashed (on the display there is a symbol b - burn, burning, on the lower receiver).

13. We are waiting for the indicator to reach 100% on the receiver being flashed. After the flashed receiver will reboot and the display will show the following:

14. The firmware process is complete. The remote control to the question “Data transfer is complete. Repeat?" choose "NO". Turn off the receivers and disconnect the null modem cable.

Tricolor TV is one of the leading companies in the field of digital telecommunications. Numerous customers can enjoy quality digital TV and a fairly extensive list of thematic packages. However, sometimes it happens that channels are encrypted unexpectedly, and instead of the usual programs, the TV only shows the inscription "Scrambled channel (DRE)" or "No access".

What to do in this situation and how to decode Tricolor TV channels yourself

There are several reasons why a channel or all TV channels can be encoded at once. Having determined it and eliminating it, you can independently adjust the operation of the receiver without turning to a specialist for help.

Prices in 2020 for Tricolor TV service packages vary from 6 to 12 thousand rubles. This is a considerable amount, which not every user can afford. Therefore, they increasingly began to use specialized programs to decode channels that hack the receiver, which is due to a virus.

But it is worth remembering that a virus can also negatively affect the entire system as a whole, including the TV.

Causes and solutions

Reasons for channel encoding:

The first reason for the encoding is the late payment for Tricolor TV services. An untimely paid bill entails the shutdown of television broadcasting, and as a result, the coding of channels. After making the payment, this problem should disappear. It is important to remember that when paying, you must indicate the channel packages. Therefore, it is recommended that you monitor your balance very carefully. The most convenient way to do this is in your personal account on the company's website or through an online service.
When ordering a service that you have not used before, pay attention to whether your tuner can support the required format. If not, then you again face the encoded channel problem. For example, a package of channels "Maximum" can be played only with equipment supporting HD.
In the event of a long absence of communication between the receiver and the satellite, the problem of non-working channels may also arise. This can be due to a lack of power. In this case, the receiver will not receive activation keys for paid channels and simply will not be able to connect them. A similar situation may arise if, after payment, the tuner was not connected to the satellite dish. You can solve this problem by turning off the receiver for one minute, then turning it on, find a free channel to make sure that the equipment is working. After the picture appears on the screen, go to one of the paid channels and wait for it to connect. In some cases, the period for obtaining activation keys reaches eight hours.
It is not uncommon for your favorite channels to disappear due to unfavorable weather conditions. Unfortunately, it will be possible to improve this situation only by waiting for the elements to calm down.
An outdated receiver model can also cause channel coding.

Why did this question arise? Here it is not worth guessing whether the time has not come or has come.

But now we will see how the Dre 5000 and GS B 211 receivers will work, one receiver has long been out of production, and the second already takes its place in the niche of satellite digital equipment from the operator.

As soon as we turn it on, you can immediately understand that something is wrong in one receiver. And this "not that" is manifested in different faces.

The fact that the picture is processed a little differently and there is a delay is not so critical as to say on the basis of this that one is better than the other, or an urgent need to change. It is early!

There are other, more important and more interesting points, we will not say that one is more technologically advanced, more environmentally friendly or more "cooler" within the framework of this review. There are a lot of similar articles on the Internet, but which one shows better and which pleases more eyes ... You can talk about this.

For example, we can say that one receiver, that the other, of course there are moments and they can think. It is a fact. But, the plant says that it is possible for the receivers to think, but not too long.

Let's see what kind of menu the receivers have and how receivers switch and work in the menu.

Well, it’s quite worthy, over the years since the release of the Dre 5000 receiver, programmers pulled out everything they could and sharpened, the once dull receiver into a working machine and if it were not for problems with the encoding (these are not hardware questions), then quite an excellent car.

But this is in theory, but in practice look at the small print at the bottom of the screens, on one of them it is so bad that a person with good eyesight is not pleasant and uninteresting to read it, because it diffuses and dissolves on the screen.

And if you look at the number of TV channels! In one, they are minuscule in comparison with the other. And this factor is especially strong now,. And if the price is one, it is not interesting to pay a lot for something that does not show anything.
