What it brings

Subtitles

Exclusive

DVB subtitles read as text

Subtitles sent by the channel as pictures are read as letters on the receiver itself, without internet. You can then enlarge, recolour and translate them; when the reading is not certain, the original picture stays.

Exclusive

Enlarged subtitles with sharp edges

DVB subtitles are scaled up to the size of your TV and keep sharp edges.

See in the help ›
Exclusive

Subtitle style

You choose the font, size, colour, outline, shadow and background of the subtitles, with a sample line on screen. Ready-made styles are included.

Translation

Exclusive

Your choice of translation service, with backups

You choose the translation service: a free one with no card, one with your own key, or a server in your home. When a service says it has too many requests, the receiver moves on to the next one in the list by itself.

Exclusive

Set up from your phone with a QR code

You scan the QR code on the TV and the receiver's page opens on your phone. You paste the key, the receiver tests it on the spot and recognises the service by itself.

Programme guide translated

Programme titles and descriptions arrive translated into your language by themselves, everywhere: on the bottom bar, the second bar, the guides and the web interface, through the translation service you chose. The INFO key shows the original text.

Help, community and testing

Exclusive

Remote assistance with one click

You start assistance from Menu > Settings > Remote assistance with a single Start, for two hours. Our team can only read the receiver's status and logs and run tests from a fixed list. You can stop it at any time, on the receiver or from the web page.

Exclusive

What we found and what we did, at the end

At the end of the assistance, a window on the receiver shows what the team found and what it did, and stays until you press OK. You can read it again with the yellow button on the assistance screen and in the web interface.

Exclusive

Your receiver's forum, on the receiver

On the receiver and in the web interface you read the discussion about your model on our forum, translated into your language. As a beta tester you write messages and add screenshots straight from the receiver.

Exclusive

Beta tester from the receiver

You sign up from Menu > Settings > Beta tester: with your consent you send us anonymous technical data, only what you tick, and write to us. You can leave at any time and your data is deleted, and a receiver is counted only once.

Exclusive

Report of a failed start

If the receiver does not start, it sends us by itself an anonymous technical report, without personal data, and puts a copy on the stick. The report code appears on the front display, and the screen shows the step where the start stopped.

TV and picture

Exclusive

Picture quality profiles

You set brightness, contrast, colour, sharpness and noise separately for SD, HD and 4K channels, in SDR, HDR10 and HLG. The right profile is applied by itself when you change channel, and you see the effect on half of the screen.

HDR output

HDR automatic by channel, always HDR10, always HLG or off. If you do not confirm the choice, the previous setting comes back.

See in the help ›

Black screen explained

When a channel has no picture, the middle of the screen tells you why, for example no signal, channel moved, tuner busy or dish turning, and what you can do.

See in the help ›
Exclusive

HDMI information in plain words

You see what the receiver sends over HDMI and what the TV accepts: 4K, HDR, sound and content protection, in plain words.

On Automatic, 5.1 sound goes out unchanged only to a TV or amplifier that accepts it; otherwise stereo is sent.

See in the help ›

Volume remembered per channel

Each channel starts at the volume you left it at, and equal volume across channels calms down loud adverts.

See in the help ›

The receiver comes with the technical data of more than 8000 channels (resolution, sound, subtitles), used until it learns them by itself.

See in the help ›
Exclusive

Signal history per satellite

The receiver remembers on which satellites it has received signal and when. Before searching a position where it has never received anything, it asks you.

Exclusive

Dish brought back to the satellite automatically

If the signal is lost while the dish is in position, the receiver first tries other frequencies of the satellite and turns the dish back only if needed, without stopping the programme.

See in the help ›
Exclusive

Scan time learned

The remaining time of a channel scan is worked out from how long it took on your receiver, dish rotation included.

See in the help ›
Exclusive

Dish rotation drawn on screen

You see on screen the arc of satellites, where the dish starts, where it goes and how far it still has to go. The receiver learns the motor speed from every move.

See in the help ›

Channels brought over from another image

On first start or from the menu, the receiver brings over from a backup on a stick made by other receiver software the channels, lists, dish settings, scheduled recordings, picons and, if you want, the network and Wi-Fi. If it is left without a network, it puts the previous network back by itself.

See in the help ›

After a cable scan, the operator's list appears in its own order, and the number keys take you to the channel with that number.

See in the help ›

Dish tools

Angle calculator (azimuth, elevation, LNB skew), live signal finder and a test of every DiSEqC port.

See in the help ›

On the receiver and in the web interface you add, move, copy, rename and hide channels and bouquets. You can undo any step, see the list of changes before saving, and a backup is made before every save.

Tuner set up for your country

On a new receiver, the first satellite tuner comes set up for your country, so you can scan straight away. In Romania: Thor 0.8°W on DiSEqC A and 19.2°E on DiSEqC B. Whatever you set yourself stays.

The whole receiver, live in the browser

In the browser you see the receiver as on the TV: the channel and, over it, everything the receiver draws (the menus, the info bar, the subtitles, the guide). When you change the channel, from the remote on the page or on the TV, the picture in the browser follows to the new channel by itself, without restarting the player.

Memory freed by itself in standby

When needed, after a few minutes in standby the receiver restarts without turning on the TV and stays in standby, so the decoder memory is whole again.

See in the help ›

How we work on the image

For the HD Satelit image we have used many artificial intelligence tools, some running on our own computers and others in the cloud, to improve and test it. Using them comes at a considerable cost, but they help us work faster and catch more mistakes before they reach you.

Every version goes through more than 600 sets of automated tests and through trials on a real receiver and in an Enigma2 emulator we built ourselves, before it reaches you: first on a test channel, then on the public one.

Without these tools, what we have done in a few months would have taken us years. The optimisations and the tests would have cost a fortune and needed teams of professionals for a long time, and many of the performance and security optimisations we reached would have been hard to achieve.

Part of the code we wrote ourselves, and the code made with the help of these tools we read, correct and test ourselves. The decisions, the trials on the receiver and the final checks are ours, the HD Satelit team. The source code of every published version is open, so anyone can see what the image does.
