One of the main advantages of satellite television over terrestrial television is the ability to use a number of useful services. In addition to providing a high-quality signal, digital television operators Tricolor TV regularly improve the software of their equipment. This procedure not only improves the functionality of the receiver, but also expands its operating parameters.
The last software upgrade took place in June 2021. You can get information about the work on the official website of Tricolor TV. It also provides precise information on how to update the Tricolor TV receiver, depending on its model.
Updating Tricolor TV in 2021 - on your own
Over time, users of Tricolor digital television begin to notice problems with the receiver. This may be freezing of channels, the absence of some of them, sometimes the device simply does not turn on, etc.
Problems of this nature most often arise due to outdated software.
And to eliminate them, you don’t need to call a technician, since you can do the update yourself.
How to update the software of the Tricolor TV module? Initially, to determine the reasons for the incorrect operation of the receiver, you need to make sure that the problem is related to an outdated software version. To do this, you need to select the “Status” section in the menu and view the current software version. This can be done in the user’s personal account.
And if your version does not match the latest available update, then the best solution would be to perform the procedure as soon as possible.
After it, all the developers' innovations will become available.
On the specialized digital television channel Tricolor TV, software updates are provided to all users. The software can be changed using the remote control on the screen of your own TV. This method is the most convenient and does not cause much trouble.

Receiver firmware GS-8305 and GS-8306 v1.2.001.

We unpack the downloaded archive and find the file ssu_gsc_stb.upg. We format the flash drive in the FAT32 file system. Next, copy the file ssu_gsc_stb.upg (without changing the name) to a formatted flash drive.
We insert the media with the recorded firmware into the USB port of the turned on receiver. Next, you need to turn the power off and on; this can be done by pressing the “stand by” button on the front panel of the receiver. As soon as the power is turned on, the firmware process will begin, this will be indicated by a corresponding message on the TV screen.
Now all that remains is to wait for the process to complete. When the firmware is completed, a message indicating successful firmware will appear on the TV screen. We remove the media and reboot the receiver.

How to flash a Tricolor TV card to watch channels for free
People who are thinking about making changes to the map should immediately abandon such an idea. Only an update is available for the GS 8307 receiver, the latest firmware of which will improve the quality of broadcasts or improve other set-top boxes. But it is impossible to change or update the card in 2020. Moreover, any scratch, not to mention more serious damage, will render it unusable, and therefore you should not even try to make changes to it. Moreover, not a single way to achieve success in this senseless business has been invented.
Changing software depending on the receiver model
As stated earlier, the update instruction may vary depending on the model of receiver you are using.
It should be remembered that software for specific set-top boxes that broadcast satellite television is released at different times.
For example, for the GS B520 model, the latest software was launched on June 5, 2021, while for the GS-8300 and other receivers in this series, the software was updated only in the fall of 2021.
Exact information on how to update the module software and how to do this specifically for your receiver can be found on the company’s official website or checked with the company’s help desk. Regular software updates will reduce the risk of problems and help ensure proper operation of the channels.

- breakage of the set-top box in case of an error;
- termination of service by the provider if it detects a violation of the contract;
- impossibility of obtaining warranty service, since changes to the software unplanned by the satellite company make the contract invalid.
It is important to emphasize that most often subscribers encounter the first problem, since any mistake they make (even the most insignificant) will lead to irreversible consequences.
