Receivers from GS
Receivers under the GS brand have long been in demand in our market. They are distinguished by excellent technical characteristics and have wide possibilities for use. In our country, you can purchase a Tricolor TV receiver gs u210; it is this operator that sells this equipment.
There are a huge number of models on sale under this brand - 7300, c591, e212 and many others. But the gs u210 receiver deserves special attention; it can be an excellent choice for a possible purchase.
This model is a completely new development, which went on sale in the first half of 2014. The Tricolor gs u210 receiver immediately received positive feedback from users, because it combines all the advanced technological solutions.
Unlike the kit, which includes a gs e501 receiver and an additional gs c591 receiver, the presented device is much easier to install and use. Of course, the gs e501 receiver allows you to connect more than one TV using a smart card. But some users do not require such a function at all, because for the gs c591 model receiver you will have to pay extra when purchasing.
But still, c591 also has its own advantages. The c591 set-top box is easy to connect and provides high quality duplicated signals. Let's compare the individual advantages of the models to choose the appropriate option.
| u210 | e501+c591 |
| Low price. | Duplicating the signal to a second TV. |
| Easy to set up. | Connecting an additional set-top box via a standard Internet cable. |
| Ability to watch channels in high definition. | Preserving signal quality. |
| Delayed viewing function. |
If the ability to broadcast a signal to two devices is important to you, then you should choose the second set. Otherwise, a standard u210 set-top box will be sufficient; it is quite capable of providing full viewing.

The message “No signal” appears on the screen, what should I do?
We will try to explain why the message “No Signal” may appear on the TV screen and tell you how to solve this problem.
First, make sure there is no break in the broadcast at this moment. Information on preventive maintenance can be found on the Tricolor TV website. It is also worth checking whether the cable from the antenna is connected to the receiver and whether it is damaged. But, if the “No Signal” message still does not disappear, at least visually check the condition of the antenna and evaluate its position. It is also worth considering that the lack of a signal may be caused by weather conditions, for example, heavy rain or snow. Check your antenna settings and make sure there are no buildings or trees in the signal path. If the “No Signal” notification appears only on some channels, reset the settings to factory settings and configure the receiver.
If all of the above does not help and the “No signal” message remains, contact a specialist at the Service Center.
