Based on the reviews about the Oriel 963, it must be said that it is worth thinking a few times before purchasing the device.

Design

The receiver in question in this article is made in a traditional style. Has a rectangular body, perforated base, made of metal. In addition, there is a top cover, and the front panel is made of plastic. It should be noted that this model is slightly different - the set-top box uses a power supply that is built into the case.

  • composite video output (CVBS);
  • analog audio / video output SCART (TV);
  • digital audio / video output HDMI.

Internal filling

The device uses many modern technologies, which have long proven themselves from the best side. That is why reviews about Oriel 963 are filled with gratitude. Problems arise quite rarely.

Still, the manufacturer recommends using quality parts to get the most out of your TV experience. Better to get an antenna rather than reinvent the wheel.

Using the antenna

Some of the characteristics of the Oriel 963 are described above. They will help you choose the best accessories for this set-top box.

In the reviews, you can read that sometimes it is best to raise the device to a height - this is how the signal becomes in certain cases only better. If the transmitter is very far away, then you will have to use a special antenna, which has an additional amplifier.

If the consumer uses an all-wave part, then he will be able to watch not only standard analog channels, but also digital ones. This is achieved by integrating the RF OUT jack with an optional antenna cable. It should be noted that the antenna will show maximum results only if a person uses the receiver of the Oriel 963 model. Due to the fact that the device has a huge number of built-in ports on the rear panel, you can connect additional devices. The main thing when turning on TV channels is not to forget to activate the signal flow through the receiver itself.

Channels and their switching

After the customer clicks, having completed all the settings, the "Okay" button, he automatically activates the scanning of all digital channels that are available. It should be noted that the search is carried out in two standards. The procedure is as fast as possible. The channels can be sorted without any problem. After the end of the scan, the channels are immediately available for viewing, the receiver switches to the corresponding mode. The one that was placed by the program at number 1 is included. In the reviews, you can find out information that there is an opportunity to learn more about the broadcast shown in real time or about any other that has already been or will be.

The packaging is quite compact, austere, neat and eye-catching.




The package includes: Digital set-top box Oriel 963 , remote control, operating manual, AAA batteries 2pcs. There are no TV cords and can be purchased separately.




The receiver has a metal case and a plastic front panel, it is assembled with high quality, all the parts fit well. On the front panel there is a LED (red in standby mode, green in operation), an on / off button, two channel switching buttons (forward and backward), a digital display with a clock, USB port for connecting flash drives or USB hard drives, for recording TV channels or playing various media files. The IR receiver is hidden on the right.




The rear part looks unusually rich for this type of device: input and output jacks for connecting an antenna, HDMI output for modern flat-panel TVs, analog SCART and tulips for conventional TVs, coaxial digital audio output for transmitting 5.1 sound in one wire to home theater systems, on cool speakers, etc.



The console has new design, very beautiful and stylish, it fits nicely in the hand, the rubberized buttons are quite conveniently located, but in general, work remote control raises questions, sometimes you have to press the button several times before the reaction follows.

Let's go directly to work Oriel 963




The receiver menu is made in a friendly color scheme, intuitive and understandable even for an unprepared user. It should be reminded that if your terrestrial antenna has a built-in +5 V amplifier, then the power supply via the antenna cable to the antenna must be activated in the receiver: Menu - System settings - Other settings - Antenna power - On. Otherwise, you will not see the signal.



Built in Oriel 963 The SONY CXD2861 tuner is so good that it allows you to catch a signal even on such a piece of antenna core, naturally in places of confident reception. Where some receivers are mercilessly pouring a picture, Oriel 963 shows confident work, scattering is much less frequent and insignificant.



The TV guide displays the current and next event, you can also watch the program schedule several days in advance and even set a timer to record the program on a USB flash drive or HDD in your absence. There is also a deferred viewing function, let's say you are watching a football match and suddenly your wife urgently needs "brute male power" - press the pause button, deal with matters and also continue to watch from the place where you were interrupted by pressing the button.





It is gratifying that on some channels teletext and closed captioning are available for viewing, this can be convenient for hearing-impaired viewers, and not only. Unfortunately, so far only on First Channel, Karusel and TVC, I think other channels will eventually also include such services.



There were no questions about the quality of the picture in general, on fan forums you can find opinions that the image on the set-top boxes equipped with the new Ali M3812 processor lacks clarity, but the menu contains settings for the output resolution and you need to choose what you need for your TV. Directly the clarity itself can be corrected in the menu of the television receiver.



With viewing media files (movies, TV series, etc.) downloaded from torrents and not only, many DVB-T2 set-top boxes had problems, namely, many AVI, MKV files were played without sound. The thing is that ordinary receivers cannot reproduce multichannel sound. Oriel 963 it can do it !!! Downloaded for test MKV file with a bunch of multichannel tracks and subtitles in several languages. EVERYTHING WORKS!!! Tracks are switched, subtitles for connoisseurs to watch in the original are also displayed.




I would like to remind you that 3 radio stations also broadcast in the first multiplex: Vesti FM, Mayak, Radio Rossii. You can listen to them even without a TV, the simplest active computer speakers are enough. Maybe even powered by USB (I didn't find an adapter for tulips to check).




But as a modest option to keep up with civilization, such a kit has the right to exist.

I beg your pardon that I did not describe in detail each menu item, channel scanning, technical details of where, where and what to press, there is a lot of everything and it would turn out completely dry and not so interesting ... Maybe another time.

What did not like
- The flash drive can cover the IR receiver and, as a result, the signal from the remote control does not reach the device.
- There are no volume control buttons on the front panel.
- Power supply 6W and, as a result, difficult to use in cars.
- The work of the remote control, sometimes you have to repeat the commands several times.

What we liked
- Very sensitive tuner (good reception)
- Availability of switch buttons and display on the front panel
- Metal body - good cooling in summer
- Omnivorous media player
- Plays multi-channel audio
- Support for subtitles and teletext
- Many modes including 1080p (you can change the resolution and frequency for your device)
- Quickly switches channels
- Supports +5 antenna power by TV cable
- Video and audio outputs for every taste and for any TV

Summing up, I would like to say that at the time of writing the review, perhaps this is the best device for receiving digital terrestrial television DVB-T2, of all that I had to test. Definitely recommend for purchase!

Stepan H. 17.07.2019

Pros: Very good store I could not have a battery for my smartphone for a long time On the Internet I accidentally saw the site Sidex made an order I called back 30 minutes later the battery was just what I needed The order came in 3 days SMS was informed about the delivery All that came to me For this thank you very much!!!
Cons: no
Review: You have a very good store Use its services I advise everyone

Pavel Senyakin 17.07.2019

Pros: Not far from the metro, it is convenient to get there both on foot and by car. The time for receiving my order is four minutes (it was seven minutes in the store). Free shipping is possible with special order configuration. Informing by SMS and e-mail about the status of the order and the route / passage scheme. Polite staff, no intrusion of additional accessories. On the question of providing a cashier's check, they instantly printed it and issued it without question.
Cons: A significant drawback - incorrect indication of the price of the product (a "fraudulent" scheme often used to display at the top of the list when sorting by price - at the "price in the online store" indicated on the website, the goods can be obtained only on condition of free delivery, in any other case, with self-pickup or paid delivery, the cost will be higher). The client receives information about the price only after placing an order in an SMS message - SIDEX, this is your unpleasant surprise for your clients. The cost increases by about 10% (for example, in my order - by 335 rubles). By default, a cashier's receipt is not issued. Insignificant disadvantages - uninformative description of the product and its configuration on the site.
Feedback: The decision to become a client of SIDEX after the price cheat was made solely because of the lack of time for registration of goods from competitors and a trip to them. It is unlikely that I will buy anything else in SIDEX. For the review, they promised to put money on the phone, let's see how it works (added: no way).

Ruslan Sh. 16.07.2019

Nice store with reasonable prices

Sergey 15.07.2019

I bought it for the first time. Thanks for the discount, it turned out to be 1000 rubles cheaper. I paid for the purchase upon receipt. Through PEC it came in four days. Thank you for the site.

Alex 14.07.2019

Pros: The price is the lowest, and unlike others, there are no stores with a low price, they do not wind up on delivery to the pick-up point. Convenient to pick up at the center.
Cons: Several times we postponed the delivery of goods to the pickup point.
Feedback: Constantly informed about the status of the order, convenient.

Svetomysl G. 13.07.2019

Pros: Large selection of self-pickup sites.
Cons: The battery only lasts half a day, but apparently this is a problem with the phone. When replacing the old battery, I accidentally pierced it, it was too tightly glued to double-sided tape. As a result, it exploded and flew out, the phone was charred, the screen went streaky, but it works.
Review: Of course, the design is so-so, but the store is working and fulfilling its functions.

leo l. 13.07.2019

Pros: Good assortment
Normal order processing service
Very good, competitive prices (main advantage!)
Cons: so-so system of informing about the progress of the order (via SMS)
Review: First time ordered in this store. Yes, and with a prepayment. It was scary to send money in advance, but the price was good, the reputation for reviews was also normal. Until the moment of payment for the order, SMS was sent: pay for the order. How I paid - that's all, they forgot about me (= No SMS, no call ... I called myself, finally confirmed that the payment had come and will be waiting soon. Another day of silence and SMS began to pour through the stages of sending the order by courier. The courier, by the way, arrived BEFORE the arrival of an SMS that a courier will arrive, his phone number is so. So everything is fine, thanks for the order, although you made me nervous. (=

Name is hidden 12.07.2019

Pros: Ordered xiaomi audio reciever. In many stores it is listed as a commodity, but almost nowhere in stock. Apparently not the most popular item. Moreover, here he was and cost a little more than on the official website
Cons: In addition to paying for the product itself and delivery, it is very insistently offered to pack in a "hard box" and receive SMS notifications about the status of the order, not for free, of course. SMS notifications about the status of the order were not so expensive, so I paid extra for this service, only now it did not work from the word at all. For some reason, the manager who called me to clarify the order immediately added to the cost the very "hard box", the addition of which I did not order on the site.
Feedback: I think it's convenient that they deliver to the post-office

Igor P. 12.07.2019

Pros: Great packaging. Fast order dispatch. SMS informing about the movement of goods.
Great service! Recommend!
Cons: Dear Russian Post!

The luminaire is of excellent quality. Everything matches the description. I was very pleased with this product.

Montigomo 11.07.2019

Pros: Fairly fast delivery (region of Russia). From ordering payment to receiving two days.
Cons: This is not even a drawback, but a subjective one - a slightly peculiar design of the site.
Review: I liked it in a nutshell.

Anatoly E. 11.07.2019

Pros: It came, what I ordered
Cons: Communication of consultants

Lyubimova L. 10.07.2019

Pros: Product good quality at a reasonable price

2. SMS notification service experienced 25 p. In fact, I had to call myself, I received SMS only when the order was in the store, despite the fact that the service promised SMS at each stage of the order

LFAMK 10.07.2019

Pros: 1) The site paid 150 rubles. for the first order with cashback.
2) Bonuses 250 rubles on the site.
3) There are products that are not on other sites.
Cons: It is desirable that the courier calls not in 30 minutes, but in 1-2 hours.
Feedback: There is a product here that I have been looking for on other sites for a long time.

Denis Ch. 09.07.2019
