Tricolor setting on samsung. Self-configuring the CI module on LG, Samsung, Philips and Sony TVs

So, as I wrote earlier, the classic way to connect satellite television as follows:

satellite dish- satellite receiver- television.

Benefits of using a satellite receiver:

For this method, you can use any TV, it doesn’t matter if you bought it a year ago or 10 years have passed, the main thing is to choose a cable to connect the satellite receiver and TV;

A satellite receiver can act not only as a receiver satellite signal, but also have other functions, for example: Internet access, Smart TV, DLNA, etc.

Cons of using a satellite receiver:

Inconvenience when using two remote controls (from the TV and from the satellite receiver). Although modern TVs use various technologies to connect all devices and use only the TV remote control (for example, Samsung-e's anynet + technology), these technologies do not fit all equipment and do not always work perfectly.

Connecting satellite TV using the CAM module.

Another way to connect satellite TV is to use the CAM module. CAM module(Conditional Access Module, Conditional Access Module) - electronic device, used as an adapter of a specific coding system to common conditional access interfaces (Common Interface) in TVs and digital television receivers to provide subscribers with access to encrypted media content in digital television(Wikipedia).

Most modern TVs already have a built-in satellite receiver (DVB-S2), which only needs to add a device for decoding channels - a CAM module. Since each operator has its own coding system, each operator (Tricolor, NTV +, etc.) has its own CAM module. Thus, using the CAM module of a certain operator, you activate the receiver built into the TV and view the satellite channels of the selected operator without using an external satellite receiver.

pros CAM usage module:

Control from one remote control. It would seem a trifle, but it is VERY CONVENIENT.

TV must support DVB-S2 and the Cl+ module. You can find out this information from the technical documentation for the TV or by saying the model of your TV when buying a CAM module.

How to connect and configure the CAM module?! In fact, connecting and configuring the CAM module is extremely simple and can be handled without the help of specialists. Below is a detailed description of how to install and configure the CAM module, it will be relevant for all popular operators - Tricolor, NTV+, Telecard, Rainbow etc.

Installation and configuration of the CAM module.

The first step is to correctly insert the access card into the CAM module. To do this, turn the access card with metal contacts up and insert it until it stops, while the CAM module should be facing you.

Then turn off the TV and insert the CAM module into a special slot (PCMCIA slot), usually located on the back side of the TV. The module must be inserted facing the wall.

Connect satellite dish to the TV.

After that, turn on the TV.

Before setting satellite channels, I recommend making sure that the TV "sees" your CAM module, for this go to the TV settings and look at the information about the CAM module. For example, on LG TVs, for this you need to go to "Settings" - "Quickly" - "Search for channels" - "CI data (CAM)"

After that "Module".

Select your module, in my case it is Tricolor CI plus CAM

And see information about it.

If the TV "does not see" the CAM module, then you have not inserted it correctly, turn off the TV and insert the CAM module correctly.

Setting up satellite channels through the CAM module.

Below I will describe how to set up the CAM module on an LG TV, for other TV models (Philips, Samsung, Sony, etc.) everything will be the same.

Go to the TV menu, to do this, press:

1) on a conventional TV remote control, the "Settings" button

2) on the magic remote control the "Input" button

and select the "Settings" button on the TV.

From the "Quick" menu, select "Search for channels".

Select "Auto Search"

Specify "Satellite" in the settings mode and click "Next".

From the list, select the operator whose CAM module you are using, in this case Tricolor.

If you use the popular operator Tricolor, NTV+, etc., then in the next step just click "Next", otherwise click "Settings" and make the settings corresponding to your satellite operator.

The next step, click "Run" to start searching for channels. You can also specify a more accurate search by selecting, for example - Skip coded channels, etc.

Will begin automatic search satellite channels, you must wait a few minutes before it ends.

As a result, you will see the number of channels and radio found, now you can click "Finish".

As a result, you have set up satellite TV using the CAM module.

Video settings of the CAM module Tricolor, NTV +, Telecard, Raduga.

Modern TVs do not need to connect additional equipment for a long time and are able to receive and process a signal from a satellite without connecting a receiver. Now, in order to watch satellite TV, it is enough to purchase the ci module offered by Tricolor.

This device allows you not to pile up the space of the apartment with unnecessary appliances, leaving it as spacious and elegant as possible. At the same time, the quality of broadcasts remains at the highest level, even when it comes to channels in Ultra HD. As a result, users get maximum benefit from all possible sides. And the only drawback of such devices is an unusual setting that can cause difficulties for unprepared subscribers.

What is a Cam Module

Those who have not yet encountered Tricolor TV modules should know that these devices are a portable analogue of standard receivers, designed specifically for smart TVs.

They are a small plate into which a smart card is inserted. It is this device that receives the signal from the satellite and decodes it to watch TV channels.

At the same time, those wishing to buy a cam module will have to think in advance whether the TV they are using is compatible with the new device. Additionally, it should be clarified whether signal reception is supported in the subscriber's region of residence. This information can be provided by official distributors of equipment or consultants. contact center.

General information about setting up the Tricolor TV cam-module

Those who decide to do self-configuration should be aware that, as is the case with most of the similar equipment, there are both universal devices and Tricolor cam modules that can only receive the signal of the mentioned provider. Professionals recommend purchasing equipment of the second type, since it is much easier to set up.

Additionally, you need to be aware of the differences associated with TV models. The procedure for connecting to satellite TV on LG and Samsung TVs has several differences that need to be considered. Further about them will be discussed in more detail.

Setting up the Tricolor ci module on a Samsung TV

Most of modern technology capable of setting up automatic mode. If it does not start, you will have to manually configure the Tricolor with the ci module for the Samsung TV. For this you will need:

1. select the User Sat1 satellite on the start page;
2. then, in the LNB section, you will need to set the lower frequency limit, which must match the upper one;
3. after which the user will have to switch to "channel settings";
4. re-specify the satellite and click the “create” item in the “transponder” line;
5. then you will need to specify the frequencies and speed (they are present on the website of the satellite company and in the instructions for the module);
6. having saved the specified parameters, the subscriber will have to start the search.

For getting complete list later you will have to start the search again. This completes the Samsung smart TV setup, and viewers get the opportunity to watch TV channels.

Setting up the ci Tricolor module on an LG TV

Preparing for the operation of the Tricolor TV conditional access module on LG will be a little easier. Those wishing to watch satellite TV will have to:

1. on the start page, set the basic parameters, indicating the type of antenna (satellite), converter (single), satellite (Eutelsat), frequency 12226, power supply (on);
2. after saving the listed parameters, the user will be prompted to check the signal level (the reception quality should exceed 80%);
3. the next step is to switch to the TV channel search section and start it automatically;
4. then it remains to press the save button and adjust the sound in the appropriate subsection (should be MPEG4);
5. The last step is to switch to start page and entering an activation code.

Sometimes, before entering the code, you need to reset the settings to the factory level. Otherwise, the equipment is ready for work and subscribers can already watch their favorite programs.

Problems and solutions

Despite the simplicity of preparing the Tricolor Ultra HD cam module for operation, some users are able to encounter sudden problems. They are usually caused by:

• incorrectly inserted smart card;
• equipment failure;
• user errors;
• incorrectly rotated antenna (the reception quality scale on the screen will be below 80%);
• non-compliance of the TV with modern requirements.

Clients of a satellite company are able to cope with almost every of these troubles on their own. So, it is often enough to check the connection and carry out the setup procedure again.

Sometimes you need to go to the module menu and reset the settings to the factory level.

In the most difficult situations, you will have to call the contact center consultants. But it is important to prepare information in advance that will allow them to recognize the caller. It includes passport data, connection address, service agreement number, smart card ID.

Engineers in various industries are constantly trying to introduce new and improve existing technologies. Not a single industry is left without development, which positively affects the standard of living of all people. This also includes satellite television. A few years ago, CI modules did not exist.

Device Features

Quite often, an important point in connecting television in this way is the presence of a built-in receiver. The presence of a pre-installed device greatly simplifies use, because there is no need to make an additional purchase and install equipment. This is the first thing you should pay attention to when the question arises of how to set up HD satellite television.

Also, it is worth noting that the cam-module should be selected relative to the required encoding. Regarding satellite television Tricolor, the module of the latest version of the format "DRECrypt. This approach can guarantee a comfortable enjoyment of HD TV.

Installation and setup

Setting up the Tricolor satellite TV cam module does not take much time. Installation order this device as follows:

1. The cam module must be installed in the CI + port with a thick side. The TV must be turned off.
2. The installed Tricolor module can show two situations after switching on. First - everything is installed correctly and information about the module and access card is visible on the TV. The second - during installation, an error was made due to which, instead of information, there is only the inscription "error 17". In this case, you need to double-check the correctness of the installation and register on the website of the satellite television operator.
3. Next, you need to specify the type of antenna - "satellite" and the required satellite - Eutelsat 36A / 36B. Converter type should be selected "single". Converter power supply to on mode and select LNB Transponder purity can be set to 12226 MHz. After that, you should check the quality of the signal and broadcast.
4. If everything works fine, you can proceed to the search for channels. In the menu item "channel settings" you need to select the automatic mode, because in this way the entire search will take place automatically. An important factor here is the firmware version of the TV software. The later version, the more correct the search will be and more channels will be found.
5. After a successful search, you need to start setting up the sound of the channels. To do this, go to the "Digital TV Sound Settings" section and select the only suitable MPEG option. Only in this mode, the sound will not disappear while watching TV.
6. You should go to the menu item "CI data" and in the settings select the option reset to factory settings. After that, you need to completely turn off the TV.
7. After this procedure, you need to turn on the TV and leave it to work until all the necessary HD channels appear. This will happen gradually and may take from 2 to 8 hours.

After correctly performed manipulations, HD broadcasts are available for viewing, and cam settings Tricolor television module - completed. Also, you should remember about the features of LG TVs. In the settings menu, automatic updating and channel search is enabled, unlike Samsung devices. This mode may harm the order of the configured TV channel list, as resets may occur. For ease of use this function it is recommended to switch to off mode. Read also

The standard scheme for connecting satellite television "Tricolor" is as follows: satellite antenna- receiver (receiver) - TV. If you have a modern TV model, then this chain can be simplified: instead of a separate set-top box, use the CAM module. What it is, how it works, how to connect and how to set up the Tricolor TV Ci module, we will consider further.

What is a CAM module?

CAM module, or conditional access module, is a special device that is inserted into the Ci or Ci + slot in a TV equipped with a built-in DVB-S2 receiver. The task of the module is only to decode the pay channels of the provider using a smart card with a chip and a unique individual number. The satellite signal is processed by the TV itself.

How does the Tricolor TV CI module work?

How the Tricolor TV Ci module works can be described as follows: it decodes the received signal and then transmits it in decrypted form to the receiver built into the TV. The previously encoded channels of the Tricolor TV operator become available for viewing. When operating the module, it is important to follow the updates software the TV itself, because the signal is handled by the DVB-S2 tuner built into the TV. If access to channels is terminated (channels are encrypted), and the module and smart card are not damaged, then you need to configure the TV itself.

What are the Tricolor TV CAM modules?

Custom CAM modules for viewing "Tricolor TV" are released in only one format: single-system single-channel. They are easy to set up and operate and provide access to the DRE-crypt coding system on a single TV. Universal multi-channel modules, with which you can watch several channels at the same time on different devices, are too complicated to set up and require special expensive equipment for operation.

Single system variant

Universal option

Universal modules are able to support several channel coding systems and broadcast different channels to subscribers in a television network. You will watch the channels of the operator whose smart card you bought and inserted into the module. But for the operation of such devices, special expensive television stations and complex programming and equipment settings are needed. For this reason, universal modules are only used when connecting a large number subscribers, for example, in apartment buildings.

The advantages of such equipment

The following are the significant advantages of using the CAM module:
- the absence of a second remote control from the TV tuner, as well as himself as a separate element;
— the satellite dish is connected directly to the TV, which eliminates extra wires and improve broadcast quality;
— more high quality images - the ability to view channels in both SD and HD formats, as well as in the new ultra-high quality - Ultra HD 4K (UHD).

How to set up the Ci "Tricolor" module on the TV?

Module "Tricolor TV" Ci: how to connect and configure? This procedure is quite simple. To connect the Tricolor TV conditional access module, first you need to make sure that your TV is equipped with a Ci-slot, purchase a CAM module and a smart card. To connect the Tricolor TV Ci module, you need to insert a module with a smart card installed in it into a special port on the TV. You need to do this with the TV turned off.
Now let's figure out how to set up the Ci + "Tricolor" module on the TV.
After turning on the TV, information about the identification of the module and the Tricolor TV smart card should appear on the screen: "Attention, access rights are being checked." If the check did not take place, then go to the Ci settings of the module and click on the "Reset to factory settings" button. The TV will restart. When the module is identified, it will turn green. After that, you need to set up channels. In many modern TVs (especially Samsung and LG), channel tuning is carried out automatically when you select the Tricolor TV operator. If your TV does not support this mode, then you need to manually enter the parameters: type of antenna, satellite, converter. If all this turned out to be done, then we proceed to setting up channels in the corresponding section of the menu. Request channel search frequencies in advance at Tricolor TV technical support or look on the Internet. At the end of the channel setup, leave the TV turned on on the Russia-1 channel until the programs are activated (from several minutes to 8 hours).

How to update the Tricolor TV CI module?

For the continuous display of channels and the correct operation of the Tricolor TV Ci module, it is necessary to update in a timely manner: the software of the TV and the module itself.
If the TV is connected to the Internet, put in the settings " Automatic update Software", then it will occur automatically. If it is not possible to connect the TV to the Internet, then follow the updates on the manufacturer's website yourself, download to a USB flash drive and update according to the instructions via the USB connector.
Module software update is done via satellite. You only need to turn on channel number 333 "Telemaster", which will offer to update to the latest version, and click the "OK" button. After installing the update, the module should automatically reboot. If this does not happen, you need to turn off the TV, remove the adapter from the slot and put it back, then turn on the TV. If for some reason you were unable to update automatically, you can download instructions on the Tricolor website that describe how to update the Tricolor TV Ci module yourself by downloading files from latest version software. If all else fails, you can contact the Tricolor TV support service or call the wizard to configure the module.

Tricolor TV is a company offering high quality television broadcasts. However, setting up the equipment to work properly can be difficult. Market digital technologies is very large, and each manufacturer contributes something of its own both to the models of receivers and to the TVs themselves. On most devices, setup is done automatically, while others require a more "personal" approach. LG TVs just belong to the second group.

Why the LG setting is different

In 2017, many companies changed their broadcasting conditions - a distinction was made between channels, which they now decided to sort by lists. This affected users in such a way that the list of offered Tricolor TV channels simply did not appear in the system, or appeared out of order / in incomplete form. LG TVs were especially susceptible to this problem, whose software proved unable to support the new order.

Difficulties arose mainly when users tried to search for channels using the "Quick Search" option. At the same time, LG TVs perceived signal decoding algorithms incorrectly, for which the company apologized more than once. Almost all product lines of the company for 2014-2018 turned out to be “amazed”, and some still demonstrate the presence of this problem.

LG is actively developing new software that would support the formation of such lists, which are used by Tricolor TV. Its launch is tentatively scheduled for July 2018. However, this does not mean at all that Tricolor TV subscribers who have LG TVs at home should refrain from watching TV programs, since there is a way to get around the problem on your own - and it lies in a slightly different sequence of settings.

In addition, most LG TVs were equipped with a CAM module, which replaces the standard receiver - the connection and its settings are somewhat different from the usual algorithm.

How to set up channels

Important! All of the following works on TVs running webOS.

Installation of equipment must be carried out in accordance with the instructions of "Tricolor TV" - installation of the antenna and dish, laying cables. The company offers customers a complete set of necessary devices in order to properly "dock" with the satellite and catch the signal.

One of the main stages is the installation of the CI+Cam module. In this case, the TV must remain turned off. Turn it on after correct installation. At the same time, information about the equipment - about the card and the module itself - should be displayed on the screen.

Important! In some cases, error No. 17 may occur at this stage, which indicates that the equipment was connected incorrectly, or the subscriber forgot to register with Tricolor TV with card data.

After all these preparations, the channels are configured as follows (manually):

1. You need to go to the menu, where you should find the item "Advanced settings".
2. Select "Channels".
3. Select "Search for channels and settings".
4. You should select the "Auto search" option, despite the fact that you configure everything manually. Here you can enter unique settings for Tricolor.
5. The search mode should be set to "Satellite". If not, select it from the list.
6. Choosing a satellite TV operator is also an important option. For Tricolor today, you need to click on "Other operators".
7. Exit autosearch - click on the cross, or press EXIT on the remote control. If you have version 3 or 3.5 of the LG axis and the Magic remote, you should press the Back / Exit button with a hold.

After that, you can start manually searching for channels.

1. Re-enter the "Search for channels and settings" through the advanced options menu.
2. Press "Manual Search", and make sure the reception mode is set to "Satellite". If not, change it to this mode.
3. Open the "Transponder" settings item and select ANY from the list, avoiding the number 12226/L/27500.
4. Then press "Transponder" again.
5. Now select option 12226/L/27500 and see if the "Add" button appears on the side.
6. Turn on "Search for a network" - click on this item and change the value to "On."
7. Click the "Add" option you found earlier. Wait for the end of the search, and press EXIT.

Important! In some versions of the software, instead of "Add" will be "Update".

After that, the search for channels on the network will begin - during the search, the LG TV will check 22 transponders, and the result of such a check should be more than 300 channels, including radio and service arrays.

The list of channels will be formed in a special way due to the fact that new software has not yet been released for Tricolor TV. It will contain:

• Presence of digital and satellite services and radio channels;
• the order of the channels is reversed.

However, the list editor will be available, and you can easily select and mark those that the TV should continue to skip. The "Skip" function will help to hide them from the general list in order to facilitate navigation.
