Feature of the World Vision T64 prefix

The TV receiver World Vision T64 is very versatile. It is intended both for receiving digital terrestrial (DVB-T/T2 standard) and for cable TV broadcasting (DVB-C). Supports all the necessary options for comfortable TV viewing:

  • electronic TV guide (EPG);
  • timer to automatically turn on the recording of television;
  • timeShift to pause or rewind programs;

In addition, the World Vision T64 digital receiver is used as a media center. With its help, from external media or hard drives, your favorite movies, photos, TV recordings, etc. are displayed on the TV screen.

World Vision T64 line

The World Vision T64 line is presented in three models – T64M, T64D and T64LAN. Each receiver certainly has its own peculiarity, although their technical data is almost identical. Thus, World Vision T64M does not have a display that displays the time and serial number of the switched on channel. In Moscow, the price range for this model varies from 1190 to 1300 rubles. The World Vision T64D TV tuner differs from the previous model only in the presence of the display itself. Its price is 1290 rubles. The World Vision T64LAN receiver has a connector for a network cable (patch cord). After connecting this model to the Internet, YouTube, a free version of the Megogo online cinema, IPTV, RSS news, weather forecast, etc. become available. The cost of the model is 1499 rubles.

Ports of the World Vision T64M and T64D models

The connectors on the World Vision T64M and T-tuners are identical, so we combine them into a single group. So, on the rear panel of the case of these models are placed (we list the inputs from right to left):

  1. RF port – used to connect an antenna or wire for cable TV.
  2. HDMI – for connecting to a TV using an HDMI cable (will provide the highest quality images and audio).
  3. USB0 (2 connectors) – for connecting external media or a Wi-Fi adapter.
  4. AV is an alternative way to connect to a TV using an RCA cable.
  5. DC-5V – an external power supply included in the kit is connected here.

Note! In this section, the item “Antenna power 5V” is provided to activate the power supply to the antenna amplifier. If the active antenna comes without an amplifier or has its own power adapter, then this function will be disabled by default.

Next, the “LCN Auto-numbering” item will be displayed, which is responsible for the type of sorting of the connected channels. It is active by default. Upon completion of work with presets, we proceed to the search for channels, if necessary, set the parameters for parental control, etc.

Setting up an Internet connection

All models of the World Vision T64 range can be connected to the Internet. To establish a wired connection to the T64LAN model, the Internet cable is connected directly through the LAN port. For T64D and T64M models, you will need to purchase a USB to LAN network card separately. For wireless connection, you will need a Wi-Fi adapter, which is also purchased separately. Internet connection settings are set in “Menu” → “System” → “Network settings”. Next, you will need to specify the “Network Type” If we are talking about a wired connection, select “Wired Network”, respectively. After that, the Internet connection should be established. If we are dealing with wireless Internet, select “Wi-Fi Network”. Go to “Adapter settings” → “OK”. The search for access points will start. Select yours from the list that appears and click OK. If the network is secure, enter the password.
