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. So, World Vision Т64М 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 that 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 online cinema Megogo, IPTV, RSS news, weather forecasts, etc. become available. The cost of the model is 1499 rubles.

Appearance

The body of the World Vision T64 is quite compact. Its dimensions are 13 cm * 6.5 cm * 3 cm. Made of high quality black plastic.
It has ventilation holes on four sides, so that the receiver practically does not heat up.

On models T64D and T64LAN in the central part of the front panel there is an LED display with 3 brightness modes. The exact time, TV channel number, indicator of connection to the mains, signal presence are displayed here. All available connectors are concentrated on the back side. An information sticker is glued to the bottom of the case. There are also four plastic tabs that provide stability to the TV tuner. Depending on the model of the TV receiver, the connectors for connection are slightly different. Therefore, we will consider each case.

World Vision T64M and T64D Ports

The connectors on the TV tuners World Vision Т64М and T-are identical, so we combine them into a single group. So, on the rear panel of the cases of these models are located (we list the inputs from right to left):

1. RF port – used to connect an antenna or cable 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 Wi-Fi adapter.
4. AV is an alternative way to connect to TV using an RCA cable.
5. DC-5V – Connect the supplied external power supply here.

Note! The connectors located on the set-top boxes allow you to connect to any TV. An adapter is required to connect to an older TV with SCART input.

World Vision T64LAN ports

The World Vision T64LAN set-top box has the following connectors: RF, HDMI, USB 2.0 (1 connector), LAN, AV, DC-5V. As you can see, the only difference is that this model has a LAN instead of the second USB input. However, according to user reviews, one port for external flash drives is quite enough.

Next, the item “LCN Auto Numbering” will be displayed, which is responsible for the sorting type of 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.
