New technologies: In the Dnieper, using the TV frigate, you can make SMART TV from the usual TV. Details

How to survive the telecommunications provider in the current times of the rapid development of opportunities computer networks? After all, today the data transfer rates are rapidly growing, and the cost of Internet services is reduced. Twisted pair actively replaces fiber optic new standard Wi-Fi overcame the speed of 1 Gb / s, 4G displaces 3G. Of course, to provide third-party additional services For a fee.
How far can the provider go in the desire to increase its income? You can say - borders do not exist. But now is not about it. In this material, we will talk about the Internet provider "Frigate", or rather his new OTT-service "Frigate TV", which provides users with any Internet provider access to viewing streaming television (IPTV), a huge collection of video content and a number of other additional, But no less interesting features using the Smart Creatible Fregat F-BOX SML-482 HD.

Contents of delivery

Smart prefix comes in a small cardboard box pleasant to the touch. It contains inscriptions and pictograms of major multimedia capabilities, as well as the logo of the Fregat provider. There is no high-quality photo printing on the box, no on it and colorful images, because everything looks quite attractive.

All components are neatly and compactly folded into the box, there is everything you need and nothing superfluous.

  1. F-Box television console.

  3. Remote controller remote control.
  4. Element for the remote control (AAA, 2 pcs.).
  5. Brief instruction manual in Russian and Ukrainian.
  6. HDMI cable.
  7. AV cable.

Appearance

The SML-482 HD media player is made in miniature sizes commensurate with Apple TV 4 (SML-482 HD a little more).

Production material - high-quality black plastic. The design is simple and elegant: 4 screws and snaps around the perimeter, on the front panel there is only one LED (coloring standard: mode of operation - green, sleeping mode - red; moderately bright, does not rush in the eyes), on the end sides of any elements There are no, and on the rear panel are all interfaces. In fact, their little, but quite enough for comfortable work with the prefix. At the same time they are located by the mind.

Interfaces:

  • Nutrition (12V);
  • 3.5 mm TRRS mini-jack;
  • S / PDIF;
  • HDMI;
  • LAN (10/100 Mbps);
  • USB 2.0.

The remote control of a small size, pleasant to the touch. Its front panel is made of black-colored mirror-glossy plastic (the surface is brand, but under the buttons it is not as striking, how to say on the phone, but to wipe the contamination from the fingers is much more convenient and easier).

The back panel opposite is matte, structured, relief. Thanks to this, the remote does not glue in his hand. The location of the standard buttons, their discomfort does not cause, soft and smooth.

Hardware

Hardware Support: Audio codec - MPEG1 / 2, MP3, AAC, AC3, WMA, video codec - MPEG-2, MPEG-4 Part 2, H.263, H.264 / MPEG-4 AVC, VC-1.

The system does not have flexibility in settings or expansion functionality, it performs exactly the task that she put nor more nor less. In principle, all provider media devices look like that, so it's not to be surprised here.

Moreover, the presence of the built-in Wi-Fi module cannot but rejoice, especially with the fact that the USB port is only one and occupy its Wi-Fi adapter is not the most successful solution. And so, everyone is satisfied: and Wi-Fi is, and USB port free.

Software

I dare to assume: the only thing that is interested in the reader in this review- These are the functionality and the main features of the SML-482 HD. Therefore, I will proceed!

Connecting the console to the TV and its launch is quite simple, and does not cause difficulties even at the newbie. So, turn on the power supply to the network, connect the HDMI cable (if old TV, RCA to help, it is present in the kit), press the power button on the remote and wait for the boot of the console. Next, in the basic settings, select the necessary language and configure the Internet connection. It is also necessary to register the console. This procedure is an input of the phone number to which the SMS will come with the code that is entered in the proposed menu and voila! EVERYTHING, prefix is \u200b\u200bassigned to your number.

From the moment of unpacking to a comfortable viewing of the TV channels passes 5-7 minutes (registration takes place the longest, since the task is not the simplest) as the keyboard as a keyboard).

The system is built on the Linux kernel. Graphic shell Variable depending on the services provided by operators (this is a universal prefix, developed by SmartLabs and challenged by many providers in the CIS countries).

On the main screen there are five menu icons with signatures, under which the selection of MEGOGO films is located:

Graphic design looks attractive. The menu directly has a well-thought-out structure, but ... At the same time, the prefix also has a number of flaws, because Linux offers much more opportunities for fantasy flight. However, it should be remembered here that this is a provider device, so we will continue our overview.

The main menu window is as follows:

Five icons of the main menu noticeably simplify user communication with the prefix - settings, applications, TV channels, cinema, wallet. The default cursor is set to TV channels, it would seem a trifle, and nice :-).

The following services are available in the user applications:

  • Living search (looking for everything and all of your request, the results are divided into categories, simply and convenient, because as the minimum of three characters of the search query are inserted, the user offers words-tips);
  • YouTube;
  • Maps (Yandex and Google, card loads pretty quickly, view of the type: topography);
  • Currency courses, weather;
  • Internet radio (a list of radio stations is quite large);
  • Home Devices (shaved on the network folder or raised DLNA server work without complaints, a raised server on a laptop using the Home Media Server program was immediately defined, the whole structure of folders and content in them is also visible, all tested formats are recognized without difficulty: AVI, MKV , mp4);
  • TV channels are, actually, IPTV.

Switching channels occurs for a split second, whether the channel in the format of standard definition or in HD quality. Picons (Icons of Channels) Simplify Search required channels, you do not need to look at their names, just look at the recognizable logos. The location of the channels seemed convenient by default, although if someone did not like this order, it would not be difficult to change it at his discretion, the benefit of this function is present in the settings.

The console also has the ability to divide channels to content content groups. In general: convenient, high quality, beautiful.

And now about the next spoon of fighting in the barrel of Möday. The declared function "Life Pause" (pause of air to 10 minutes) works far from all channels. For example, it does not work on STB, ICTV and other Ukrainian channels. Works mainly on thematic entertainment, for example, TV1000 Premium HD or Sony SCIFI (although it is worth adding that this feature It also works on the TV channel "1 + 1"). However, how they assured us in the company "Fregat" this is associated with the rights to content, and not in the incorrectness of the service.

With the "Back-EPG" function (TV channels in recording to weekly limitations), the case is coming in exactly as well. It all depends on television rights. In general, "Back-EPG" works stable.

Cinema is a client program for watching video. There are many films, but new products, as such, no, the huge niche occupy more Soviet films and cartoons. But, as the service develops, the films library will also expand.

Wallet - Electronic Cabinet, where all your subscriptions are visible (it is possible to connect / disable them), the amount on the account, how much it remains until the next payment, the history of payments, services (number change, pause and multi-in-development).

The Telecommunication Provider "Fregat" launched a decent and competitive OTT project on the Ukrainian market, which cannot but rejoice (especially if you know the price of this service - 23 UAH / month at the time of testing). As for the console, it consistently copes with the main responsibilities entrusted to it (view IPTV and video content). True, to make some changes and settings in the console (for example, adding a city to view the weather, only Dnepropetrovsk and Kiev are available by default, users will have to apply to technical support. However, in the company "Fregat" we assured us that when starting sales in a particular region, the city in the Weather service will be added automatically. In general, the service is young, but with amendment on the price of the service - very promising. The main thing is to polish all the services and expand their capabilities.
