But, before starting the review, a small note. I have not decided on the correct product name GS-B520.
So what is this product, set-top box or receiver?
It seems undeserved to call this product satellite receiver, so let there be a satellite set-top box for the needs of Tricolor.
Go!
Of course, not everything is so bad, and with her you can pretty much good quality watch satellite TV. There are other good features in the console.
The GS-B520 not only supports DiseqC, but also allows you to select and configure satellites. If we recall, then a similar function was previously only in the GS-9305 receiver.
Of course, the receiver supports HD picture quality, on board, in addition to analog "tulips", there is an HDMI interface.
At the heart of the GS B520 satellite set-top box is a new CPU MStar K5 and a coprocessor developed by the GS Group holding company.
The technological solution ensures high data processing speed and content security. GS B520 is equipped with the necessary connectors for comfortable work: RCA-3, USB, HDMI, Ethernet, S/PDIF digital audio output
For the first time on the original Tricolor TV receiver, the function of recording and timeshift (delayed viewing) is implemented. In order to record a TV show, you need to connect any USB flash drive to the GS B520.
In addition, the receiver supports dyssics, has a "manual search" function, and has a not-so-bad graphical menu. The menu is quite conveniently organized, the graphic design of the menu is up to date.
I note that the USB port is suitable not only for updating software, but you can also record TV programs on external drives, and you can now view photos and listen to music from a flash drive. But not a movie, for example from your torrent collection, sadness!
Without switching between channels, you can see what is going on on a particular TV channel and at what stage the transmission is. You can create your own channel lists and even edit the on-screen menu.
But there is an unfriendly fact, channel switching cannot be called instantaneous, the delay could be less.
The video/audio signal is sent to HDMI and RCA at the same time. This is of course a big plus. No need to worry about choosing a source, as it was in the GS-8306/8307. It is possible to use an external RF modulator and connect a satellite set-top box to two TVs at once to watch TV channels.
You need to understand that both TVs will have the same program and not the same way. But, it is supposed to watch television content in the so-called "mirror" streaming.
That is, the video content that the user selects on TV will be duplicated on mobile devices. Thus, "Tricolor TV" implements the concept of "take TV with you."
This service can be used by owners of smartphones and tablets on based on iOS or android. For their functioning, you need to install the Play.Tricolor application. TV receiver must be connected to the Wi-Fi router within home network.
There is dysic support in conjunction with manual channel search, bringing the ability to use the GS-B520 on systems with multiple cymbals/heads.
Thus, in addition to watching Tricolor TV channels on this set-top box, you can also “admire” open channels from other satellites.
In the GS-B520 receiver, unlike previous models, there is no smart card, it is now built into the board.
The model is made in the classical style, characteristic of all models of the holding. Black glossy case has a rectangular shape.
On the front panel there is an on/off button for the device and a digital timer. There is a USB connector here. All other connectors are located on the back of the set-top box. These are RCA-3, HDMI and Ethernet.
The prefix has a medium size. Ventilation holes located at the top of the case. Remote controller remote control convenient.
And so, what do we have from this satellite set-top box:
— Ability to connect an external IR receiver for hidden installation.
– Reception broadcast DVB-S and DVB-S2 in the full range 950-2150 MHz
- One USB port for updating software, recording TV programs, viewing photos (JPEG, PNG, GIF) and listening to music (MP3)

So far, many significant shortcomings have not been found in the prefix for the needs of Tricolor. The receiver even comes with a one-year manufacturer's warranty. But there is also a significant jamb when setting up the GS B520 receiver.
To understand this, we visually show two different receivers and connect them together to one dish, take one receiver SKYWAY CLASSIC 3 and GS B 520, look at the signal level:
As I said, this is not a receiver, this is a prefix. Here they (the manufacturer) call it a "prefix", and so this is it.
I have many years of hobbies satellite TV there were many different receivers, analog and digital like Nokia, Strong, Humax, different configurations, .
They were all different, good and bad, but they were all receivers. And this is some kind of shame that a decent lover of satellite television is ashamed to keep in his house!
So, Friends, if it is completely unbearable to subscribe to bondage to one operator, then take the module, and henceforth only and no prefixes!
As for the pluses in the receiver regarding the GS B 520 prefix:
1. The presence of a smart card in
2. The body was metal.
3. Clock and information on the display.
4. Improved protection of the primary and secondary circuits of the receiver.
5. Full analog video and audio output.
6. Receiver control on the front panel of the receiver.
But it also happens with set-top boxes, complaints that registered, that is, paid channels do not show.
And after a while it shows up again. At the beginning, it will show a table with an error, and after twenty seconds, lo and behold, it opens the channels.
What is it, a feature of the iron in the console or operator glitches? Whether they are or not doesn't matter. To explain why there is neither time nor desire, while the prefix works, we rejoice because it is not for a long time, a year of warranty, as it is ridiculous.
And then for a replacement, in 2017, they will come up with something, of course with a surcharge.
Good luck Friends!
