Quietly and without wide advertising, the updated recommended receivers of the brand “Sagemcom” of the model “DSI74HD” (SAT / IP) for viewing the digital satellite package “NTV-Plus” went on sale.

However, as the name suggests, this set-top box can also show NTV-Plus channels through the network (if the Internet provider provides such an opportunity). But we will pay attention entirely to the main purpose of this receiver - watching TV channels via satellite.

It immediately catches the eye that the size of the box with the model “DSI-74 HD”) is about 1/5 shorter than that of the 87th model. Which is not surprising - the size of the model is also shorter in length. In terms of equipment, there are also differences between the models. In the new receiver (let's call it the 74th), the card reader is now on the left, and not on the front panel, like its predecessor. Thus, it can be stated that engineering solution for the latest current recommended models of NTV-Plus receivers - the card reader on the left (it is also located in the OpentechOHS-1740 model in the same way).

The functionality of the set-top box on the rear panel has also undergone some changes - the ventilation holes have disappeared, the manufacturer also decided to “pack” the stereo and S / PDIF audio output connector - it is now made in the form of a small hole and there is a special audio cable for its use in the receiver package. Despite the small size, there was even an unoccupied space on the rear panel on the right side, but the manufacturer, “SagemcomBroadbandSAS” from France, decided that no more connectors were needed. It is possible that this is so, but small ventilation holes would not hurt here. And further. In order not to touch on the production of the console anymore, it should be noted that it was produced by the same factory in Tunisia - “SagemTuniseCommunicationsSARL”.

Before turning directly to the operation of the set-top box, let's recall the main claims of the installers and users of the “SagemcomDSI87” terminal to its operation. If we discard all sorts of little things, then the most important thing that annoyed me in the previous model was a very slow loading and slightly slow switching of buttons in the viewer interface. This is when the user presses a button on the remote control, and the set-top box responds to this. So, the reaction was slow. It was as if the receiver “thought” each time whether it was worth it to perform this or that operation or not. I also remember the problem with the list of favorite channels, when it was possible to arrange them in it with normal numbering and as you like, but after each new download of the receiver, this list could fly off. I won’t lie - I don’t remember if it was decided this problem in the latest software, but this seems to be a trifle, but very annoying.

Well then, let's go! We take our brand new “DSI74” and plug it into the mains, having previously connected it to a satellite dish and to a TV via an HDMI cable (there are no others in the package). After switching on, the red indicator on the front panel flashes for a short time, after which the green light turns on and the receiver prompts you to change the parental control pin code. By default it is “0000”. Here we immediately recall that the 87th model, when loaded, now and then asks to change the parent pin code. And until you do this, the receiver will not “calm down”. If you ignore the proposal for parental control, press the “EXIT” button, after which the receiver should go to watching TV channels.

Here I would like to dwell on one small, but very important nuance. The access card is inserted into the card reader not like on the “OpentechOHS 1740”, but with the chip up. In vain you will look for a description of this feature of the card capture reader in the “USER'S MANUAL” - nothing is written about it there. And for some reason, the “MANUAL” is also silent about where this card reader is located in the subscriber receiver. Therefore, remember - if the receiver determines the access card as incorrect, then turn it over and reboot the receiver - the receiver may not immediately accept it on a “hot” one.

After we switched to watching TV channels, let's try to check the switching time between them, as well as the convenience of working in the user menu. Let's start with something pleasant - slightly, but the speed of the receiver's reaction to pressing a button on the remote control has increased. But it is unlikely to satisfy the sophisticated user. The closest competitors of “Sagemcom” and “NTV-Plus” - “Tricolor TV” have more fun subscriber set-top boxes. Also, another recommended model of the operator set-top box, “OpentechOHS-1740”, proved to be quite good in this regard. Therefore, if you are an impulsive person and want an almost instant response from the receiver to one or another operation that you set for it, then “SagemcomDSI74” is not for you and at this point you can stop reading this material. On the other hand, the download speed of the receiver has increased significantly - and thanks for that.

The channel arrangement structure in the 174th is similar to that used on the 87th model. Opportunities to highlight with a special color or even hide a TV channel that is not available on the current tariff plan, as implemented in the “OHS-1740”, the 174th does not. Another "minus" in the karma of the receiver. But he could also have a "trump card up his sleeve" - ​​the organization of channels in the "FAVORITES" list. But alas, this function works the same as on the previous model. Whatever wonderful channel list you choose in the favorites list, the next time you boot the receiver, it will not only be erased, but will generally disappear from the channel layout structure in the viewer interface.

But let's not continue to "kick" the new product from NTV-Plus, but let's move on to the positive aspects.

Perhaps the most important - the receiver is not particularly heated. If the competing recommended model “OpentechOHS-1740” warmed up to a decent temperature during my tests, which I conducted back in the winter, then “SagemcomDSI74” showed itself on the positive side in this regard. Now, when I write these lines, the room is about +26…+28 degrees Celsius, but the receiver does not look like a hot cake a la “OpentechOHS-1740” after an hour of operation, which gets especially hot just in the place where the card reader is located . The 74th behaves quite peacefully in this respect, except that the right side of the receiver heats up more than the left one (where the access card is located), but the receiver seems unambiguously “colder” in terms of heating temperature than the other main recommended model that is now on sale at dealers.

Let's try to find other positive aspects of "SagemcomDSI74".

RECORD. Here's some fun stuff. Remote record button remote control There is a receiver, but she herself is not. To be more precise, there is a software blocking of the recording function. Probably not all recommended receivers with built-in hard drive sold out. That's why there is no entry on the 74th. There is a timeshift function. To use it, you will have to sacrifice your, at least, USB flash drive. Why donate? Because before use, it is formatted and more than for the “time shift” function is not used. And everything in the "USER'S MANUAL" about the recording is also not a word. But there is a J button

MANUAL CHANNEL SEARCH. It is, but if you need to search for NTV-Plus channels, then all desire disappears after stating the fact that there is no network search. This unfortunate little thing almost immediately puts an end to the 74th in the light of using it somewhere else. Let's just say - for scanning satellites at a constellation of 13, 19 or 42 degrees, it is better to choose some other device. Yes, and the numbering of channels during manual search does not start with “one”, but with “1000”, I immediately remembered the second “Terminator” and returned automatic search on the receiver.

After that, there was no point in further “picking” in the 74th. We have considered the main points that raised questions regarding “SagemcomDSI74”. It is possible that I am mistaken and somewhere this subscriber set-top box can give odds to the rest, but for now we note that it heats up slightly. Who knows, sales have just begun, maybe the percentage of defects in these consoles will be very small. Of course, it is better when the subscriber terminal works fine, even if it is cut from all sides, than it will be stuffed with all the “sweets”, but will not crawl out of the repair. Maybe the 74th "Sagemcom" just belongs to that group of receivers - "workhorses" that are simply designed for watching TV channels, with a stripped-down interface, but reliable. Time will tell. By the way, the quality of the picture seemed very good to me. Certainly better than the terminals of some competitors on the market.

It's time for a quick summary. And it is like this - if the receiver proves itself from the best side in terms of reliability, then you should pay attention to it. At least because of the quality of the “picture”. I have no more weighty arguments in favor of “SagemcomDSI74”. But that's what it is and the opinion that someone else expressed the opposite. In the meantime, my verdict is this - more “NO” than “YES”. In the end, anyone who wants to get a high-quality picture can take the NTV-Plus module and use a good receiver or even watch the package directly through the TV. And if so, then I repeat that “SagemcomDSI74” has one significant, but not yet tested in practice, potential “plus” - reliability. We'll find out if it's there in a few months.

User Reviews

Users note the ease of setting up the equipment. After the initial installation, you will see a list of TV channels "" both standard and high definition. The developers have eliminated all the shortcomings of the previous model. Users do not have to wait long for the download to be completed, and switching TV channels has also accelerated. The satellite receiver is free from problems with the favorite list of TV channels when the list saved by users was not saved. Despite the fact that the developers managed to increase the loading speed of the new model, it has not been perfected. Therefore, impulsive users and those who expect instant action should not choose this prefix, as slightly sluggish work will annoy and get on your nerves.

Advantages and disadvantages of the Sagemcom DSI74 HD satellite receiver

The main feature of the satellite receiver is that the access card is inserted with the chip up. Although the user manual itself does not say anything about this fact. The good news is that the prefix practically does not heat up, even at high ambient temperatures. It is surprising that there is a record button on the remote control, but for some reason the receiver does not support this function. Manual channel search is also not fully improved. There is no network search. Annoying that the numbering of TV channels in the mode manual search starts with "1000". The advantages of the device include a Russified menu, support for an electronic guide and the ability to connect to a home theater using a digital output.
