Equipment recommended for use by the satellite operator "Orion-Express"

To connect Orion Express, you need a receiver with a built-in card receiver that accepts 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 a 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 appearance devices. Preferable devices are those that have on and off buttons, channel switching buttons, a “Menu” button, and a volume control on the front panel. The convenience of such devices is confirmed by user reviews. The main convenience is that you can control such a receiver even in the absence of a remote control. Devices with a Cl interface and CAM module support are suitable for receiving both open TV channels and encrypted satellite signals.

The main parameter of the receiver that you need to pay attention to is the encodings 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, then you can also connect HTB-Plus. To do this, you need to insert a module that supports “Viacess” encoding into the receiver slot. 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 big amount built-in encodings, then in this case it is better to purchase a rotating 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. The antenna diameter in this case should not be less than 90 cm.

There are receivers with a hard drive that make it possible to watch movies and programs in automatic mode. This function allows you to not depend on the broadcast network - you can set the receiver to record the films and programs you need, and then watch them at a convenient time. Some devices allow you to watch one TV channel while recording another. Using the USB output, you can directly output the signal to your computer.
