ViP package

Movie premieres and new TV series at your home.

Telekarta is one of the most popular satellite television providers in the Russian Federation. Sometimes, even if the package is paid on time, TV channels disappear. This means you need to update your settings. You can invite a specialist, but if you wish, it’s easy to do it yourself.

Reasons for updating

Satellite television operator Telekarta positions itself as a provider with a dense coverage map in most regions of the Russian Federation. In the central part and middle zone of the country there are practically no complaints about the work of the service provider. The only problem that arises in rural areas is signal deterioration in bad weather.

What to do if the channels are lost forever and how to update the channels on the Telecard on your own - users often search for the answer to this question in the public domain.

If everything is in order with the payment (the availability of money in the account can be checked in your personal account),

then the channel update problem may occur for the following reasons:

1. Technical failure in signal transmission from the satellite.
2. Missed update via Telekart satellite.
3. Change of broadcast network operator. For example, if additional channels were included in the package.

It is also necessary to exclude physical causes of signal loss. For example, in winter snow often sticks to the convector; a poorly secured plate can turn around under the influence of strong winds or break when hit by a branch. If there is no external damage, then the equipment needs to be updated.

There are two ways to find channels on the Telecard - for recommended and non-recommended receivers. There is nothing criminal in using the latter; it’s just that such tuners were not included in the Telecard broadcasting equipment list. After broadcasting of TV channels has been restored, the user can use the TV menu to sort the list. For example, by moving unnecessary channels to the end of the list.

About company

Today, Telekart has many tariff plans that are designed specifically for different categories of clients. After concluding an agreement on the provision of satellite TV access services, the user receives access to his personal account. You can make all the necessary settings there.

The equipment necessary to connect satellite TV is provided by the provider. The delivery set includes a satellite dish, receiver, provider access card, universal converter and connection cables. The first launch and preliminary setup will be performed by a specialist who comes to the subscriber’s home.

Attention! You should not carry out the installation and first launch of satellite equipment yourself. Otherwise, the provider may refuse to provide its services to the client and deactivate the guarantee.

Is it possible to independently update the Telecard on non-recommended equipment?

Sometimes a situation arises when it is necessary to update equipment that the provider has not included in the recommended list. Recently, the Gione receiver from the manufacturer Galaxy Innovations has been selling well. This is a budget, stylish, small size and decent performance brand.

Sellers recommend inexpensive equipment for use in dachas as a set-top box for watching free channels. But such a tuner must be updated periodically.

Review of the Telekarta Globo x90 receiver

Globo X90 is a digital receiver, which is a fusion of a satellite simplex (one-way - reception only) modem and a specialized computer. The operating system of such “set-top boxes” is stored in integrated circuits of non-volatile memory with electrical reprogramming (flash memory). Specifically, Globo X90 is a satellite receiver of the DVB-S standard with the MPEG2 codec. The Globo X90 is no longer in the official list of Telecard equipment. The advantage is that it has two video outputs - SCART and RCA. Many people still have the previous series - Globo X80. Structurally, they are almost identical, so many tips and problems will be valid for both models.

Satellites for Telecard. Coverage area

The Telecard coverage area can be viewed on the official website. In total, three satellites are used in the Russian Federation: Intelsat-15 (85°E), Horizons 2 (84.8°E) and Express AM5 (140°E)

How to catch a satellite?

To correctly align your satellite dish, you need to go to https://www.dishpointer.com/. In the Enter Location line, enter the name of your locality, or click on the sight icon. Then the site will automatically determine your position...

...and insert the coordinates of where you are:

On the right, select the desired satellite. In our case it is Intelsat-15. After clicking the Search button, a map will open with a straight line along which you need to set the satellite dish. The service determined our location. Now you see which way to point:

The plate needs to be mounted as high as possible, because... There should be no obstacles for it - trees, pillars, other houses.

Here is a view towards the satellite. No interference.

Is it possible to use Globo X90 under Tricolor?

Unfortunately, there is no firmware for Tricolor for this receiver. Even if you insert a Tricolor card into the CAM module and configure the satellite, nothing will work. You should not try to flash your Globo X90 with custom firmware, which is recommended on various forums - you will ruin the receiver. Logging into the emulator will not help here.

What is the master code for the set-top box?

Check Disk

The software is designed to check hard drive sectors and correct errors if they are detected. Data overwriting is an additional option.

Official site.

The appearance of the program is simple and does not cause problems in use. Once launched, it scans the system for connected hard drives and external devices.

The utility is supplied free of charge.

Globo X90 does not turn on

Turns on only after disconnecting from the network

One of the most common problems. The fact is that the receiver does not turn on from the remote control when it has been left in stand by mode for a long time. Those. When you turn on the TV you will see an error

Board overheating

Since the receiver is assembled in the Middle Kingdom, there is no need to talk about the quality of assembly and soldering. Controller failure due to overheating. The standard situation, given the size of the board and the case itself, is that it heats up very well. Prevention here is simple - do not put the receiver in drawers and cabinets, and also be sure to keep the ventilation holes open (they are on top)

Switches off every half hour

Fuse burns out

Another subtle, literally, point in the Globo X80/90 receivers is the fuse, which likes to blow out from power surges in the electrical networks of our apartments. It can also burn out if the antenna cable is shorted - do not allow water to get on the coaxial interface (S/PDIF)

Capacitors are drying up

Electrolytic capacitors also suffer from voltage surges. One or several at once. capacitors, diode bridges and resistors

A common problem with receivers is poor-quality electrolytes in the power supply. When the capacitor capacity is lost, the voltage at the output of the power supply drops (can be checked with a multimeter). The normal value is 3.3-3.4 volts. Solved by replacing the capacitor on the power supply (33uF 400V)

The capacitor in the power circuit often dries out and swells. If this happens, the receiver will no longer turn on (the indicators will not light either). There is only one treatment - to re-solder the capacitor, preferably to a higher quality one with a high degree + with a voltage reserve

4 lines are lit on the display - no picture or sound

Four horizontal lines on the receiver's display indicate the absence of a channel list, and not the absence of a signal, as one might think (the absence of a signal is indicated by a red LED). To solve this problem, you need to re-upload the firmware to the receiver (see section “Firmware via cable”)

Doesn't turn on, boot doesn't light up when turned on

When you turn on the receiver, the word boot appears on the display - this means that the set-top box is loading and will turn on soon. But this doesn't always happen. Often the problem is the power supply (you can check by connecting an external power supply to the 3.3 V line) - the culprit is the 22.0x50v capacitor (dries out). SMD electrolytes also often dry out - for prevention it is worth checking them too.

A failed flash memory firmware of the receiver is also the reason why boot is not lit on the display when turned on. This can be solved by flashing firmware via the receiver's JTAG interface.

If the tuner does not have a JTAG connector, then you can flash the flash memory using a programmer (“flasher”). Step by step:

1. Download firmware for SPI Flash

2. Flash the flash memory using a programmer. To consider this chip as a programmer you need to know the code or master code.

They write online that flash memory needs to be desoldered for firmware. This is true, but firmware through the programmer is possible without dismantling the microcircuit. Video of how to flash with a programmer:

3. After flashing the SPI Flash firmware, we update the firmware of the receiver itself using a regular cable. Download the bootloader, firmware dump and update the software (more details in the “Firmware via cable” section)

If, after all, there is no programmer, then you will still have to unsolder the microcircuit, solder the receiver where there is a JTAG interface, flash it and solder it back into your receiver.

Doesn't turn on, but now boot is lit on the screen

Personal account features

Most Telekart TV subscribers have already appreciated the convenience and ease of using remote service without having to call the support service. Telekarta’s personal account is accessible around the clock and from any device, and there are special applications for mobile devices that can be downloaded from the main page of the site. After registration, the following services are available here:

• Obtaining information about your cash balance and payment history.
• View data on current services and their expiration dates, as well as manage them (connect or disconnect, expand and renew).
• Top up your account online and without commission.
• View current promotions and current offers.
• Online communication with support service.

Firmware via cable

The main problem with the Globo X80 is related to the firmware. It often happens when the receiver freezes and does not respond to anything, it does not turn on from the remote control, and juggling the power socket does not help. In most cases, firmware helps. To connect to a PC you will need an RS-232 to USB cable. You can buy it in stores that sell phones, digital equipment, etc.

The RS-232 interface (aka 9-pin COM) is located on the rear panel of the set-top box

Step-by-step firmware process

1) Download the bootloader - Upgrade Tool

2) Unpack the archive, run the file upgrade.exe

3) Select the desired port to which the receiver will be connected. By default it is already there. Those. Leave all the settings in the window as they are (Operation mode - UPGRADE)

4) Connect the receiver to the PC, but do not turn it on(!).

5) Press the Connect button and only now plug the receiver into the outlet

6) In the next window, select All Chunk and select the firmware file (a check mark will appear next).

7) Next comes the firmware process. Click Finish at the end

Reboot the receiver using power (from the outlet)

Download firmware

It is better to use a dump to flash the receiver firmware. A dump is a complete copy taken from a working receiver, which contains all the necessary software, as well as channels, BISS keys, settings, etc. Those. This is a full-fledged “firmware”, after which your receiver will work immediately. There is an option to install “bare” firmware, but then the list of channels and keys will have to be configured separately

Download original Globo X90 firmware

Download Globo X90 dump from 02/17/2017 (for satellites - Amos 2/3 4.0°W, Astra 4A 4.8°E, Hot Bird 13 B/C/E, 13.0°E, ABS 2, 75.0°E)

Download Globo X90 dump (2015) (for satellites 4W-5E-13E-75E)

Download Globo X90 dump for Telecard (2018) (Software version 1.3.70C, for satellites 4-4,8-13)

Download Globo X90 firmware for Telecard v1.1.61

Clarification: The name of the satellite in the firmware is not critical at all. You can rename any one or add a new one that you specifically need in your location (see section Manually searching for a satellite). But this is provided that the dish is aimed at the satellite you need.

“Connect failed” during the firmware process

If such an error occurs at the beginning, check whether the firmware file is in the same folder as the bootloader - it probably cannot find the firmware. Also check whether the COM port is specified correctly in the Upgrade Tool window:

If such an error appears during the process, it may be due to swollen 5V electrolytes in the power supply (check the voltage from the power supply to the board - it should be 3.3-3.4V)

Black screen after flashing with cable

It can only be treated by flashing it using a programmer with a firmware dump uploaded to it, or via JTAG. Read how to do this here.

Often, even after making a subscription payment, some of the TV channels that are included in the selected satellite television package do not work. Most likely, this is due to channel recoding; to restore broadcasting, you need to update the Telecard channels yourself.

The actions taken depend on the model of the signal receiver - receiver.

Telecard recommends the following models for good signal broadcasting:

• Continent CSD-01/IR;
• Continent CHD-02/IR, 04/IR, 04/CX;
• Continent CSD-03/IR;
• GLOBO HD X8;
• GLOBO X80/90;
• EVO-01;

Why is satellite TV so popular?

Satellite television is slightly more expensive than standard TV, but differs markedly from it in image quality and the number of channels.

In addition, when connecting to satellite TV, you can choose any of the numerous channel packages, focusing on personal preferences. Here are a few advantages that distinguish satellite TV from the usual standard television:

• High image quality: the picture on the TV screen is now brighter and clearer. There is no annoying interference, noise and white “ripples” that always occur when the antenna is not configured correctly.
• Variety of channels. Satellite TV providers offer packages that include a specific set of channels. This is very convenient: some people like to watch movies and TV series, some adore programs about nature and the animal world, while others want to watch culinary talk shows and news channels. The selected package, if desired, can be replaced with any other.
• Broadcast in any region. If configured correctly, satellite TV will broadcast channels regardless of proximity to the central district of the country (the capital), delighting users with excellent picture and sound quality.
• Affordable price. The purchase and installation of satellite equipment is accessible to any average resident of our country. The subscription fee for a package of channels is paid once a year and its size depends on which package is chosen by the user.

JetFlash Recovery Tool

Another utility for recovering damaged sectors on flash drives from the manufacturer Transcend. The program supports two modes of operation: data recovery and removal of write protection.

The program is no longer supported by the vendor. He replaced it with the online service JetFlash Online Recovery. The application is available at the link above.

The user connects the media, starts the service and tries to recover the data.
