RICOR developers are constantly improving the firmware of receivers, so they are regularly updated. Official firmware is updated directly off the air. But the best part is that it is not always possible to introduce official releases of firmware updates. The reasons for such behavior by the vendor are, as a rule, purely legal.

Unofficial firmware files for receivers RICOR TV (Active TV) are situated in file storage on our website

For manual update firmware for the Rikor receiver, you need to create a flash drive. A very small (512 MB) media is quite enough. Files with unofficial RICOR firmware are copied to the root of a flash drive formatted in FAT 32 (it is also possible in Ext2 and Ext3 formats, but this is via Linux, which is fraught with a lot of difficulties for a non-professional in this OS).

The USB keyboard will have to be disabled. After flashing the firmware, you can connect it again

The prepared flash drive must be inserted into the connector on the rear panel, enter Main OSD menu and select menu Software Update.By the way, there is some inconvenience with USB connectors on the rear panel can be greatly reduced by inserting regular USB extension cables of the required size into these connectors and bringing the ends to a more convenient and accessible place.

Attention! The process of installing software updates ends with an automatic reboot of the receiver. As a result, all current recordings are interrupted! First, finish recording all the programs you want. And then calmly flash the RICOR receiver.

Buttons UP or DOWN select item on the remote control USB(prepared USB device must be inserted into the appropriate connector on the rear panel of the receiver).

An excellent domestic receiver with HDTV support for Rikor TV.

Design and connections

The first thing that attracts attention in the presented new product is its durable, even somewhat heavy for a household receiver, silver-colored body. The impressive dimensions of the device (440x290x75 mm) give the device a solid appearance. The chassis and housing cover of the IVR 5250 terminal are made of metal with a thickness of about 1 mm.
So we can say with confidence: without any deformation, the terminal will “feel” calm if you put a couple of other home multimedia devices weighing several kilograms on it. We were able to verify this during testing. Despite such a “military” safety margin, the terminal looks quite stylish and modern. The appearance of the front panel of the receiver corresponds to the general design concept, which is characterized by significance and conciseness. There are no device control buttons on the front panel. Operating modes are indicated by three blue dot LEDs:

• power indicator;
• HDD recording indicator;
• viewing/standby indicator.

On the left side wall of the receiver there is a power switch. He is unusual. A touch contact is used to turn on the device's power. In working mode the site touch sensor Illuminated by a blue LED.

On the right side wall of the case there are two slots for smart cards of the built-in conditional access system and a slot for installing a DVB-CI module.

On the rear panel of the Rikor IVR 5250 receiver there are:

• inputs of two DVB-S/S2 tuners LNB A and LNB B, equipped with F-type sockets. Each of the tuners has a loop output;
• EuroScart connector;
• HDMI digital multimedia video/audio interface connector;
• S-Video output (mini-DIN);
• RJ-45 connector Ethernet interface(LAN);
• RCA stereo audio outputs R/L;
• coaxial RCA digital audio output S/PDIF;
• RF modulator output for connecting a TV via high frequency RF OUT;
• transit input of the RF modulator RF IN;
• connector for connecting the GSM module antenna. The terminal kit includes a compact GSM antenna that is installed directly on the existing connector;
• connector for SIM card GSM module. The receiver kit includes a SIM card designed to support interactive services using the built-in GPRS modem;
• USB data port connector;
• power connector.

The set of interfaces available on the Rikor IVR 5250 receiver allows it to be classified as a group of subscriber devices equipped with multimedia functions. The absence of interfaces that make it possible to switch video and audio signals from other devices suggests a certain self-sufficiency of the product presented for testing. This decision by the developer, from our point of view, takes place since the demand for interface connectors, which are abundantly present in some devices, is usually low.

The layout of the receiver's electrical circuit is traditional: a system board and a board (more precisely, two boards) of the power supply. We were unable to determine the processor type. The radiator, glued to its upper surface, hid the markings, and we did not dare to remove it. On system board two identical DVB-S/S2 satellite tuners DNBU24511 Samsung are installed.

Receiver Rikor IVR 5250 equipped with a 3.5-inch HDD with a capacity of 250 GB (Seagate ST32508208CE). IN technical specification The terminal indicates that the product can be equipped with a hard drive with a capacity of more than 160 GB. Considering that for full support interactive features The device must be in active mode almost constantly; the developers have tried to alleviate the thermal conditions of the presented product. This is facilitated by placement electrical diagrams device in a fairly spacious case, equipped with a sufficient number of holes for convection, as well as additional forced cooling of the terminal power supply with a miniature fan.

In general, it has a design similar to the remote control of a digital satellite receiver, which has a device for recording and storing video information on a hard drive (PVR). Numeric keypad located at the top of the console. It can also be used to enter text. In the middle part of the remote control there are:

• buttons for working with OSD and cursor position control;
• digital video recorder mode control buttons;
• buttons for calling interactive services.

The remote control is small in size and fits comfortably in your hand. Function labels assigned to individual buttons are written in Russian or have a generally accepted international designation. For a user already familiar with digital satellite receivers, it will be somewhat unusual that the names of some functions differ from the generally accepted ones (for example, instead of EPG there is “IPP”). The purpose of the individual buttons does not correspond to what is indicated in the description of the receiver, although this does not create any special problems in operation.

A distinctive feature of the Rikor IVR 5250 receiver’s remote control is its “learnability”. Using this function, you can program selected buttons on the remote control so that you can use it to control, for example, a TV. The “learning” procedure is very simple and can be repeated by any user.

Possibilities:

• rewind live broadcast
• pauses live broadcast for up to 10 hours
• stores a large amount of information (250Gb, ~ 220 hours of video)
• records video from 5 channels simultaneously
• HD compatible
