Unofficial software:

Compared to previous versions software:

The operator selection menu has been modernized.

Improved general work receiver
Appeared information block, containing a description of the main payment methods for Tricolor TV services.

Based on comments from user vale9041 from the forum http://www.telesputnik.ru

It is now possible to remember the receiver settings through standby mode, even if it was disconnected from the power supply.

The procedure is as follows:

If you have just created favorites and turned off the receiver with the power cord, then turned it on again, the receiver will switch to the tricolor channel, return button with two circular arrows (the so-called LAST) we will find ourselves on the first channel created in the favorite.

If, when viewing a favorite, we switch the receiver to standby mode using the remote control, then turn it on again, then later, when you disconnect the receiver from the network with a cord and turn it back on, the return button will return it to the favorites of the channel in which you switched it to standby mode from the remote control. That is, the standby mode serves as memorization.

The same can be done with the volume... If you set the volume to maximum and switch the res to standby mode, then the next time you turn on the res will be maximum volume. But this is provided that in the future you will turn off the power supply with a cord from the outlet.

you can do the same so that the receiver remembers common list channels in one column or three columns wide (view)...that is, the standby mode is remembering what we want...

We can even confidently say that the GS 8306 firmware allows you to successfully cure the receiver from glitches.

Firmware process

Experienced users and experts emphasize to all interested parties that without certain skills related to software updating, you can unknowingly make fatal mistakes.

Why is new firmware needed?

When carrying out any actions, it is very important to understand how important they are, and whether it is possible to do without them in any way. The flurry of people wanting to know how to flash GS 8306 from a flash drive is explained by the fact that new firmware gives the receiver several advantages.

First of all, the device acquires a modernized menu for selecting the desired operator. Also, the “Status” menu after the firmware is accompanied by an updated interface, which makes it easier to work with the menu.

Also welcomed by many is the fact that after the firmware the receiver is characterized by significantly improved performance. Such important manipulations make it possible to display an information block that contains important information regarding payment methods for Tricolor TV services.

The acquired characteristic is especially welcome, allowing you to remember in standby mode the settings that were defined on the receiver before it was disconnected from the power supply.

Firmware installation instructions

If you carefully inspect the design of the receiver, you can make sure that the device does not have an RS-232 (COM) port. However, in return, its receiver has a service USB. It is thanks to its presence that the device undergoes flashing.

For such manipulations, the owner of the receiver should prepare an ordinary flash drive. Naturally, you should take care in advance of downloading the firmware file itself, which can be downloaded on the Internet on specialized forums focused on issues of Tricolor receivers.

After downloading the proposed file, unzip it into the folder you created previously. Then find the firmware itself in it: ssu_gsc_stb.upg.

Initially, format the flash drive that you prepared in advance. Before formatting, the system will ask you which file system you want to install on it, check FAT32. Copy the firmware startup file and paste it onto the USB flash drive.

Now all that remains is to connect the flash drive to the receiver by inserting it into the USB connector. The receiver must be turned on during this procedure.

With the flash drive inserted, first turn off the receiver and then immediately turn it on. This is not difficult to do if you press the “Stand by” button, which is located on the front panel of the receiver.

After turning on the receiver again, the firmware process starts and is carried out automatically. The user can verify that the firmware is actually being installed by the information that appears on the TV screen.
