Equipment for receiving Continent TV.
For CONTINENT TV, we chose two basic models of satellite receivers, which are manufactured by Coship.
The first model of the receiver for standard definition is called CSD01/IR, the second is CHD02/IR, a receiver for high-definition television HDTV, which allows you to record programs to an external USB drive. The receivers are equipped with one Irdeto decoder with the ability to link the decoding card to a unique receiver number (ID CSSN using Irdeto Secure Silicon technology). Both receivers are capable of receiving signals with modulation: QPSK and 8PSK in the DVB-S and DVB-S2 standards and MPEG-4 or MPEG-2 compression. Both receivers are produced under a single new brand CONTINENT in two colors: light and dark. Both are decorated in the same style and are in the lower price range. On the front, in standby mode, the indicator light shows the current time, which is automatically set according to satellite data. The receivers have a Russian-language setup and control menu with a good structure with preset setup parameters for all satellite transponders that Orion-Express uses and will use. This will allow Continent TV and VIVA TV to use an electronic program guide (EPG) for a week, receive email and text messages from the operator in Russian, update receiver software from satellite (OTA), etc. Both receivers meet all the necessary requirements and have the necessary certificates. Below you can see the appearance of the basic receivers for Continent TV CSD01/IR

In addition to the basic receivers, the operator offers two more models: Continent CSD-03/IR and Continent CHD-04/IR

In addition, you can use other receivers in conjunction with the Continent CAM module
From May 14, 2010, you can update the firmware version of the Continent CSD-01/IR receiver software. This version corrects errors found during operation and adds various additional features: a new view of the main menu, the ability to sort (delete and move channels), automatic updating of the list of received channels, eight lists of favorite channels and much more. The update process takes a few minutes. To update the Continent CSD-01/IR firmware from a satellite, select “System Settings” in the main menu, then “Software Update” (for more details, see the tuner’s “User Manual”, page 20).
Attention! During the update, do not disconnect the antenna cable and receiver from the power supply. After completing the software update, you must return to factory settings and reboot the receiver.
