Let's take, for example, Attachment Motorola VIP2262E, which has been on the market for a long time, but continues to please the quality and convenience of its users.

So, the interface of the console is as simple and convenient as possible, everything is intuitive. The power button is located on the front panel, there are also touch buttons. When the device is turned on, two buttons are lit, red and green, but for Motorola VIP2262E firmware it matters, if the device is reflashed, yellow can also burn. When the set-top box is turned off, the red diode and the green one are lit. Also on the front panel are:
- USB, which is used exclusively for service purposes, you can not watch any movies or photos from it.
- LINK, which lights up green when a signal is received.

Now the TV is a hotbed of modern technology and is gradually becoming closer to a personal computer. Already now we can easily check the weather, go online, upload our video and even view city maps - all with the help of one remote control. The combination of various systems, performance and their interaction gives the very interactivity for which TV manufacturers rely on progress. Today we have the flagship in our hands interactive TV —receiver Motorola VIP-1003. Motorola was also popular in our country due to its elite phones. Recall, at least, the furore that the Razr V3i "tube" made, which, until now, is one of the author's favorite cell phone models.
1. Outside
Appearance special delights does not differ. There is only one set-top box activity indicator on the front panel:
On the rear panel there is a standard set of outputs and connectors (POWER, USB, HDMI, RJ-45, etc.):
A couple of features of this model:
1.
Fingerprints are very good on the case
2.
No on/off button
3.
Works even with a red power indicator (!)
2. Inside
You will see the general download window below. Please note that above serial number attachments, her poppy address and firmware version at the moment.
3. Opportunities
In addition to the usual viewing of channels, the list of which, by the way, is available at the touch of a button OK on the remote, a number of interesting services are available to you.
By the way, if you see a loading element (a spinning circle) in the upper right corner of the screen, then don't be alarmed - this element indicates the EPG loading process (roughly speaking - menu, content). Appears mainly on Motorola VIP-1003 due to their insufficient performance compared to other set-top boxes, it can also occur when the network bandwidth is insufficient.
Channel List
Firstly It's personalization. Category "MY" in the main menu gives you the ability to combine content - everything that you subscribed to, bought or allocated (for example, your favorite channels) is now available from one place. By the way, there you can also receive information about changes related to broadcasting channels and other news.
Reading a message about the FOX channel
Secondly, this is the ability to play your video files from a flash drive. To use it, just insert a USB flash drive into the USB port on the set-top box and go through the main menu to the category FILES and choose your carrier:
Window view without USB device:
View of the window with a connected USB device:
After selecting and downloading the appropriate file, the following message will appear:
We have two videos in the MY category:
List of files available for viewing:
Thirdly, this is "VIDEO RENTAL", which, as the name implies, makes it possible to buy films and enjoy watching, as they say, without leaving the box office. Even if something prevents you from watching the picture to the end, you can always continue watching by finding a purchase in the category "MY":
Fourth, these are already standard services like Weather, Social networks(including Facebook, Twitter and Vkontakte) and Yandex maps. We will not dwell on them in detail. If you wish, you can study these sections on your own.
4. Problems
And ways to solve them.
1. The screensaver periodically pops up on the screen.
You can easily get rid of this ailment simply by disabling it in the settings of the set-top box in the section "SETTINGS", then choose "MY SETTINGS", and then "SCREEN SAVER SETTINGS". Choose an item "DISABLED" and deal with the end:
2. Do not show the channels to which you are subscribed.
If you ordered an additional package “CINEMA” or “EDUCATIONAL”, then you need to check whether this package is included in the services you ordered through the “MY SETTINGS” menu. Accordingly, opposite the package should be an icon "Connected" otherwise, please contact the customer service center for clarification.
3. The image does not show in full screen, there are black bars on the sides
Easy to change menu "SETTINGS" -> "SYSTEM SETTINGS", where you can select the desired screen aspect ratio, as well as remove dead zone width to zero:
Standard pin code for this set-top box: 1234 (possible options 0000 and 1111 ) In this case, you need to check a number of settings. First of all, you need to enter the profile editing mode, which is available through the menu "SETTINGS" where to choose "MANAGE PROFILES":
Next, select the item "MAXIMUM ACCESS LEVEL" choose 18+ . We go back and now we enter the point "ACCESS TO CHANNELS" and look ... If opposite the channel name is PIN code, therefore, the channel will request it every time, with the button OK on the remote change the value to "Allowed". Don't forget to save your settings by clicking the button "MENU" so that the set-top box asks for a pin code to confirm the changes.
Set the maximum access level:
Access to channels:
5. When loading the set-top box, a window immediately appears prompting you to enter a pin code
And with all the desire to enter it does not work, the numbers on the remote control only switch channels. The window appears to be in the background. Here you already have to climb into the bins of the console and force it to update. So, first turn off the set-top box (pull out the power cord), then turn it on again and at the same time immediately press the button on the remote control "MENU" until a blue window appears, the so-called service menu. Select an item with the remote control "SYSTEM". Then we find the line REMOVE SOFTWARE:
Remote control with "MENU" button
Set-top box system menu:
This is how the window should look when you select a file.The prefix cannot fully load all the software that is needed for operation. There are several reasons for this:
Firstly. Check the wiring diagram carefully. The set-top box (STB) must be inserted exactly into the 4th LAN port (if you have an ADSL service). If you have several set-top boxes (for several TVs), then they must be connected to LAN4 and LAN3 (if you have two set-top boxes) and LAN 4, LAN3, LAN2 (if three set-top boxes)
Secondly. If you have an ADSL service, then you need to check the modem settings. Often this error occurs due to broken settings.
Secondly. See point 5.
8. In the settings shows the wrong date and time
Try updating the firmware. See point 5.
9. Constantly requests login and password. Writes "Activation error"
Try updating the firmware. See point 5.
This is an overview of the most important details of interactive television and Motorola receiver finished. At the moment it is the most advanced solution in the alliance of telecommunications and network technologies. I will only add from myself that football in HD quality is something, guys :) The article will be edited as information becomes available.
