test review of the Globo GL50 receiver, reviews of other receivers for receiving digital television signals

Unpacking the digital terrestrial receiver DVB T2 Globo GL30.
In this video I review digital set-top boxes DVB T2 Globo GL30. I installed it, connected it and configured it. Setting up is searching and scanning channels. Found 20 HD channels of the first and second multiplex. The kit includes the TV tuner itself, a remote control, batteries for it, a bell cable, setup instructions and a warranty.

On the rear panel we have three outputs for bells, ASHDIMAY or HDMI and an input for an antenna. On the side there is a USB connector for connecting flash drives from which you can watch photo and video files. I connected this receiver and the image quality satisfied me. You can call this a review. Did you like the review? Don't forget to like and repost!

Connecting the GLOBO XC 80 set-top box to a television receiver

If the receiver is equipped with the connector shown in Fig. A, and the signal cable is equipped with a permanent connector for connection to the connector shown in Fig.
B, it is recommended to use an adapter (Fig. C) (sold separately). Attach it to the RF input of the receiver, and the signal cable, in turn, connect to the input of the adapter. If the signal cable is equipped with detachable connectors (F-connector/TV-connector), it is enough to remove the television connector (as in the figure). Attention: in order to avoid damage to the set-top box, we strongly recommend connecting the set-top box to the TV with the set-top box disconnected from the power supply.

7. Turn on the TV. Connect the input of the TV receiver to which the set-top box is connected (see the operating instructions for the TV receiver). After some time, the received channel to which the set-top box is tuned will appear on the screen. If the channels are not displayed, the wrong external image source may be selected.

Check the connection with the instructions for your TV. If the message “channel encrypted” or “service unavailable” appears, check whether the conditional access card is installed correctly in the receiver (chip down), wait 5-15 minutes, the image will appear on the screen.

When connecting to a digital set-top box, it is transferred to the subscriber already configured for channels

, which are currently broadcast on cable TV networks. If you change broadcast parameters, reset the receiver settings, or add new channels, the digital set-top box must be configured again.

The Globo GL60 set-top box is designed for watching digital and analogue television. Just like the previous model, there is an electronic program guide, subtitles, parental controls, and TimeShift. There is a built-in power supply. The receiver is equipped with a USB port, so you can play files from external media and record video.

• Instructions in Russian.

Testing the Globo GL 100 set-top box and setting up digital terrestrial TV

• high-quality metal case with wide slots for cooling and securely fixed outlets for plugs;
• dual-band VHF/UHF receiver;
• presence of a remote control with wide buttons;
• support for all image formats from 576i to Full HD (1980*1080, 50 Hz);
• the presence of a composite cable (“tulips”) and an HDMI cable included;
• adequate console menu;
• presence of LED screen;
• preferably a certified receiver in the Russian Federation;
• the presence of a USB port with support for different media standards in words, not on paper.

In the end, my choice fell on the Globo GL 100. The production is carried out by a Russian company registered in Kaliningrad, but like everything else, it orders set-top boxes in China. Next time I update the post, I will definitely indicate the name of the factory. I purchased the set-top box from M.video without a discount because I was in a hurry. When purchasing on the website and paying with a bank card, you can get a 5% discount, but if you delay the purchase until the afternoon, you will most likely be able to pick up the goods the next day, although there are more than enough boxes with attachments on the counter - that’s just how the ordering system works. Their bonus system only works when you present a card, but I lost mine somewhere and am just accumulating points?

The set-top box is positioned as the only one that has passed RTRS certification. Naturally, this is just a marketing ploy, because not a word is said about it on the manufacturer’s website or on the RTRS website. There seems to be support for Dolby Digital Plus, but video with the AC3 codec on flash drives has not yet been tested - a typical situation for all Chinese assemblies.

Review: Digital terrestrial receiver Globo GL60 mini - A successful successor to the successful Globo GL30

My uncle once asked me to buy a digital set-top box for a grandmother I knew in the village. And not just any, but Globo GL30. Why this particular model? I have purchased it several times before, including for this relative at his request. One each for him and his mother in the district, for him to work in the district too, for his daughter in the city. In total there are 4 consoles! ? The model has proven itself well both in terms of reception quality and ergonomics. And the quality seems to be the same - for someone to break, this never happened.

I accepted the task and began looking at the electronics store website for the model I was looking for. I found it, but bad luck - out of 3 stores in the city it remained in only one, and then only as a display sample. I somehow don’t like the “showcase”, even if I’m not buying it for myself. Dust, shabby, or even completely tattered and understaffed - that's what you can run into. And you want, as they say, “to be first”? What do you think I should do? Should we really take the “showcase”? I thought about it until I came across a new product under the Globo brand on the website. Model GL60 mini. Price 1499 rub.

In appearance it almost exactly repeats the “thirty”. And the remote control is actually a copy. Globo's is generally wonderful - large, grippy, with normal-sized buttons. Moreover, it is available in all stores and in sufficient quantities. I conclude that the GL30 was discontinued and a new product was launched.

Essentially everything is the same as its predecessor, functionality in particular. Only on the “face” they made a decorative element.

Also included is an RCA cord (tulip). Of course, the box contains a remote control, batteries and papers.

Built-in power supply. The connectors are the same.

The box is almost exactly the same.

Ventilation on the bottom, there are also service stickers on the fastening points:

We connect it to the TV, turn it on.

The set-top box also turns on immediately, without standby mode (the green light is on):

Next you are prompted to select a language:

Screen proportions (if in doubt, it is better to leave “Auto”):

Whether or not to enable 5V at the antenna input (for those antennas that support it):

That's it, let's go look for channels.

The search is quite quick - as you would expect, all 20 DVB-T2 channels were found, and radio on these frequencies to boot. In addition, the tuner found over-the-air channels broadcast by Rostelecom in the DVB-T standard (without two). Total 39 TV channels, 7 radio channels.

In general, they are paid and therefore encrypted, but sometimes the encryption is disabled. Apparently, I ended up with encoding turned off. It is, of course, impossible to watch them - the picture “crumbles” terribly, but this happened on all consoles without exception.

Review of the DVB T2 receiver Globo GL30. Connection and configuration.

Let's look at the Globo GL30 receiver, connect it to the TV and try to configure it.
So, we have a box with a receiver in front of us.

On the front side of the box we see the main panel of the receiver, as well as a mention that an RCA cable is included in the kit.

On the back of the box is a photo of the receiver panel with connectors with brief information on connecting the connectors.

Let's open the box with the receiver and take a look at the contents.

The first thing we see is the remote control, which has a fairly universal design. This remote control can be found in many receivers of other models.

AAA batteries are also included.

Next we see the RCA cable, which is mentioned on the front side of the box.

And here in front of us is the receiver itself.

In most receivers, the power supply comes separately, however, in this case, the power supply is built into the receiver.

The receiver itself is quite compact; there is a USB connector on the front panel.

There are no connectors on the sides - there are only holes for natural ventilation.

On the rear panel of the receiver there are connectors for connecting a television antenna, HDMI and RCA cables.

So, let's connect the HDMI monitor to the receiver with a cable.

Then we connect the antenna cable.

And only after that we plug the receiver into the outlet.

A green indicator on the receiver lights up, indicating that the set-top box is turned on.

We look at the screen. We have a non-standard menu.

Let's start setting up the console.

1 step. Select the setting language - Russian.

Step 2. Select the screen size. It is most convenient to set automatic selection.

Step 3. Selecting the antenna voltage

Step 4 Let's start scanning channels

The scanning process takes several minutes.

If no channels were found during automatic scanning or scanning was interrupted, you can use the manual scanning function or repeat automatic scanning.

The scan has passed, we check the operation of the channels.

Let's take a closer look at the settings.

Currently available are the editor and channel search, as well as system settings.

After connecting the external media, the External media and Media player tabs will become available.

When you select the media player menu, you can navigate through categories: recordings, movies, images, music.

In the channel editor menu you can find a list of TV and radio channels, favorites, and there is also the option to delete all channels for rescanning.

In the system settings you can find all the necessary functions that any receiver has, for example, image settings, sound settings, clock settings, language settings, parental controls and others.

In order to reset the settings to factory settings, you can select the appropriate function in the system settings.

This is required so that the next time you turn it on, the setup occurs again, and also to check whether the default password is set on the receiver, usually 000000.

No password has been set.

After a factory reset, you need to go through all the setup steps again.
