TV), it's time to move on to the most important part - at the construction site digital television . How to set up digital TV with your own hands? Read more about this.

I will show on the example of the receiver Mystery MMP-71DT2, and like me, his software completely coincides with Rolson. If you have a different prefix, the principle will be the same, but you may have to look at the instructions.

How to connect everything

To start, connect antenna to the receiver, and the receiver to the TV. Preferably through, so the image quality will be as clear as possible. If there is none, then through the usual "tulips", they come complete with a prefix, as a rule. We look at the connectors in the instructions, it will turn out something like that. If the antenna is with an amplifier, first turn it off, then you can always turn it on.

We are launching all this economy, a set-top box, an antenna, a TV. Select the desired video input. If everything is done correctly, then you will see the start menu, like this:

How to set up digital television through "auto search"

By default, the set-top box is not configured for anything, and you yourself will need to catch the channels that are transmitted in your area. The easiest way is to start auto-search.

After launching the autosearch, the prefix will think for a long time, and should find something in the end. Important: since each is transmitted at the same frequency, you will catch channels not one at a time, but immediately in packs of ten. Therefore, be patient. If in analog TV channels are caught one at a time, then several minutes may pass, and the set-top box will search. But then all 10-20 channels will immediately pop up.

After the search is over, the set-top box will offer you to add the found channels. If you have found all 20 pieces - congratulations, the process is complete!

How to check signal quality when setting up digital TV

Check that the signal is strong enough and everything is set up well.

It's very easy to do. You should have an INFO button on the console, triple pressing displays data on the quality and intensity of the signal. Look in the instructions, it may be called differently, but it will do the same:

The higher the signal, the better. Optimally - from 60% and further

If both indicators are high, above 60%, everything is fine.

Check it out on both multiplexes, say, Channel One and TNT.

Since different multiplexes are transmitted, you can catch the first one well, and the second badly, or vice versa. Your task is to rotate the antenna so that both are well caught.

But in practice it is somewhat different. For example, you can catch duplicates. When the same channels will occupy several places at once. It seems not critical, but annoying. How to treat me.

What to do if you caught duplicates, or nothing was caught

The second option is when not everything was caught, or nothing was caught. Fine tuning and manual mode will help us here. We read about it. However, if you live in a city and there are towers near you, then in 90% of cases, auto-search is enough for you.

Summarizing

As you can see, setting up dvb t2 digital television with your own hands is not a difficult task. And certainly you should not call a master who will do the same for you for a thousand rubles)

A package of channels broadcast on the same frequency is called multiplex. The number of channels in one multiplex can be from 1 to 10. The composition and number of channels is determined by the broadcaster, for example, the state.

In Crimea, there are now 3 multiplexes so that they do not interfere with each other, as in analog broadcasting, in each region broadcasting is carried out at different frequencies (CHANNELS).

DVB-T2 broadcasting in Russia, Ukraine and a number of other countries is carried out only in the decimeter frequency range - these are from 21 to 69 UHF (UHF) channels.

List of transmitters and frequency channels broadcasting in Crimea

Alupka - 21, 30, 43 (Lenin st. 64)

Alushta - 30, 32, 56 (Sergeev-Tsensky st. 13)

Annovka (Belogorsky district) - 22, 32, 41

Belogorsk - 36, 37, 58 (Nizhnegorskaya st. 33a)

Dzhankoy - 24, 28, 30 (Kraynaya st. 20)

Evpatoria - 23, 29, 32 (Razdolnenskoe highway 17)

Factory (Leninsky district) - 27, 26, 30

Kirovskoe (Chernomorsky district) - 21, 24, 40

Krasnoperekopsk - 24, 31, 43 (Tavricheskaya 105)

Partenite - 26, 27, 37

Sevastopol - 30, 40, 47 (Prospect Pobedy 96)

Simferopol - 36, 37, 51 (Studencheskaya st. 14)

Sudak - 32, 49, 60 (Eastern Highway 33)

Feodosia - 26, 27, 30 (Simferopol highway 45a)

Foros - 21, 43, 44 (Cape Sarych)

Yalta - 26, 35, 37 (South coast highway 55)

To receive DVB-T2, you need (preferably) an external decimeter television antenna without an amplifier with a modern cable with minimal signal attenuation in it. It is possible to use all-wave antennas. More often than not, an antenna with a good cable will receive a better signal than an antenna with an amplifier and an old cable. The use of the Soviet RK-75 cable is not allowed, such a cable was not designed to receive signals in the UHF range, therefore it has large signal attenuation.

It also happens that in the same locality, for example, Nikolaevka, Zuya, depending on the place of reception, reception can be carried out from different directions. So on one side of the lowland in Zuya, the signal can only be received from Simferopol, and on the other side of the settlement only from Belogorsk.

If reception is carried out outside the line of sight of the direction to the transmitter, then the maximum signal is possible even in the opposite direction from the transmitter. In this case, the reflected signal is received. To determine the ideal orientation of the receiving antenna, select the manual channel search mode on the TV or set-top box, then enter one of the channels (preferably with a lower number from the list above) from the transmitter from which you want to receive a signal. Now you can see the received signal level scale and use it to orient the antenna.
Rotate the antenna 5-10° in any direction, mentally count to 10, record the signal strength. Rotate the antenna another 5-10° in the same direction
(next) and count down to 10 again and record the received signal level. Thus, rotate the antenna in a full turn around its axis by 360 °.
After that, you will see from your records from which direction the maximum signal is coming.

With the advent of the era of digital terrestrial television, many subscribers of cable and satellite networks began to think more and more about connecting free broadcasting. After all, according to the FTP, on the development of a digital broadcasting network, in the public domain there will be more than twenty TV channels in excellent quality absolutely free. Which include obligatory federal television channels.

The question arises - how to connect digital terrestrial television at home?

There is nothing difficult in this. To receive digital on-air television you will need any subscriber equipment of the standard DVB-T2/MPEG-4 with mode support Multiple PLP and decimeter antenna ( DMV) range. The antenna can be either collective (installed on the house, also called common house) or individual, installed directly in your house or apartment. Depending on the distance to the transmitting center, it is necessary to select the desired antenna. They are divided into active (with amplifier) ​​and passive. When buying an antenna, you can first clarify the power of the transmitting equipment installed in your region and the distance to the transmitting center. Based on the data obtained, select an antenna.

Approximate range of transmitting stations:
10 W– about 3 km;
50 W– about 5 km;
100 W– about 15 km;
500 W– about 25 km;
1 kW- about 30-35 km;
2 kW- about 35-40 km;
5 kW- about 40 - 50 km.

Let's go directly to the receiving equipment. Three main groups can be distinguished: TVs with a built-in DVB-T2 tuner, set-top boxes of the same standard, and DVB-T2 digital computer tuners. Their setup is similar, if not the same.

Video: how to set up DVB-T2 digital terrestrial television

It is best to connect a digital terrestrial set-top box according to the manufacturer's instructions, it is almost impossible to make a mistake there. Also, you can watch the official video from RTRS:

A few recommendations, also from RTRS:
connect the plug of the antenna cable and, if necessary, digital set-top box to the TV;
connect auto search for channels - the TV will tune in to the corresponding digital terrestrial channel, when tuning to a channel in manual mode, you must specify the channel frequency (for example, 35 TV channel, 685 MHz);
Most digital TVs (and set-top boxes) have a built-in signal level and quality indicator that will allow you to optimally tune your antenna to receive a digital terrestrial signal (see the instruction manual for your TV).

On TVs with a built-in DVB-T2 tuner, all manipulations are carried out through the TV menu. There shouldn't be any problems either.

We recommend updating the software of your subscriber equipment to the latest. This can be done in specialized services, or by yourself (if you are confident in your abilities). The software can usually be downloaded from the official websites of the manufacturer.

When a new level of data transmission quality appeared, the DVB-T2 digital television network was launched. Digital television gives high quality pictures and excellent transmission signal. But to set up a connection to this network, you need to have the necessary knowledge, choose the right receiver and set it up well.

How to connect the T2 module and configure it will be described below.

How to connect a T2 set-top box to a TV

The T2 tuner is quite easy to connect to a TV. If you have had experience connecting players, antennas and other devices to a TV, then it will not be difficult to connect the receiver.

We connect the antenna to the receiver, and from it we connect the wires to the TV. This can be done using standard HDMI wires, "tulips" or SCART. The most important thing is that you do not have to pay for calling the master. However, if the master can connect the set-top box to the TV for free, then you should leave it to him.

How to connect DVB-T2 to a TV without a set-top box

To connect your TV directly to a DVB-T2 network without buying a receiver, you can immediately purchase a TV with a built-in DVB-T2 tuner. This saves space, time and costs. Among other things, it will be possible to control T2 channels with one remote control from the TV while there will be two remote controls with the receiver.

Today, almost all LCD TVs have a built-in tuner, which makes it easy to connect. Simply insert the antenna into the desired socket.

How to set up DVB-T2 using the receiver

After installing and connecting the receiver, you need to set up the TV. To do this, we perform simple steps:

• We go to the console menu.
• Click "Quick Setup".
• If the default is another country, then set "Russia".
• Then you must select the standard "DVB T2". Often stands in the field of the DVB T / DVB T2 standard, which leads to the fact that the receiver is looking for DVB T quality channels, and only then DVB T2. We need DVB T2 and its excellent quality.
• Then click "Auto-tune" and everything will be done automatically.
• After finding the channels, you can also look at the quality of the connection by pressing the "Info" button.

Thus, you can set the receiver to receive all the channels you need. But the setup doesn't always go smoothly. Sometimes, problems arise.

What to do if DVB T2 setup does not work

There are several options why the setting does not occur:

• The problem is in the receiver;
• The problem is in the antenna;
• TV problem.

First, try tuning with a different antenna. If it helps, then the problem is in the antenna, and if not, then the receiver is to blame.

If the antenna is to blame, then only a specialist will help it. If the receiver, then there are several options. First, the receiver may have the wrong firmware. Then you need to reflash the prefix. To do this, go to the manufacturer's website, download new firmware, write it to a USB flash drive and insert it into the receiver. It will update itself and the problem will be fixed.

If updating the firmware does not help, then the problem here is most likely in the electronics. In this case, it is better to hand over the prefix to the service or change it under warranty.

You can also check the TV itself. To do this, use the set-top box on another TV, and if it works, then it may be in the TV settings. In this case, please contact the manufacturer. There they will be able to tell you how to correctly set the TV settings to connect the receiver.

How to choose a prefix for DVB-T2

The choice among receivers is quite large. Here are the most popular receivers that are recommended to buy:

• Trimax TR-2012HD
• Strong SRT-8500
• Strong SRT-8502
• Thomson THT702
• Trimax TR-2012HD PVR (TR-2013HD PVR)

Their price starts from 1000 rubles and above, depending on the functions. More expensive receivers have more fine settings, better reception signal, more different inputs for connection. additional devices and also they are faster. Compared to satellite set-top boxes, a DVB-T2 receiver is inexpensive.

You can also go to any hardware store and there, on the spot, choose a new receiver, after consulting with a specialist.

The introduction of terrestrial digital television of the DVB-T2 standard on the territory of Ukraine has made it possible to significantly expand the zones of reliable reception of the signal from TV towers, in comparison with the analog signal. Also, the ease of setup and installation of T2 did their job, they have become much more popular than satellite TV with MFA channels.

Let's move on to the practical side and talk about the direct installation of all the equipment necessary to receive a digital DVB-T2 signal. Many modern TVs are already equipped with an integrated DVB-T2 receiver, in which case it is enough to find out the position of the repeater, point the antenna at it and scan the available channels using the TV. In the case of a simple TV, the installation and connection of T2 is somewhat different, we will discuss it now. To install T2 in the standard version, you will need:

1. DVB-T2 digital receiver , the form factor you need, for example, for hidden installation with a remote IR sensor, etc. The choice is now huge, there is practically no significant difference, everyone can choose for their needs. Practice shows that it is worth buying in a reliable store with a guarantee, we suggest you buy a receiver from our partners who will provide you with service, warranty and repair.

   Buy digital set-top box MINI DVB-T2 with delivery from China

1. UHF Antenna , in practice, the so-called "Polish antennas" are often used, you can also purchase an antenna manufactured by Konvaliya, Margoon, etc., you just have to take into account that the antenna must be taken with a margin of gain, since it is possible to predict how the signal will be received in a particular case hard to say. It is also desirable that it has an amplification board that can be powered both from and from an external power supply.
2. Cable, regular TV , almost anyone will do, but it is better to take with a percentage of filling with a braid of 50%.
3. RCA or HDMI cable to connect receiver to TV may be included or must be purchased separately.

Connecting digital T2 using the World-Vision T38 receiver as an example

First you need to install the antenna, if it has not been installed before. It’s probably stupid to advise anything here, I’ll just say follow the manufacturer’s recommendations, and at least first turn it in the required direction. In which direction to direct the antenna, you can find out by looking at neighboring antennas or calculate the direction, for example, using Google or Yandex maps.

Connecting the T2 digital receiver to the antenna will also not cause much difficulty, the manufacturer and standardization make this process simple and it is quite difficult to make a mistake here.

When connecting, it’s hard to confuse something, the RCA - cable is connected simply, just follow the color on the plug and on the socket, yellow to yellow, white to white, red to red. The antenna connector will also not allow you to connect other plugs to it, in this receiver model it is located on the left side. It is also possible to connect via HDMI, everything is simple here, the COAX connector is used to connect a digital audio signal amplifier and is practically not used in standard configurations.

After all the cords are in place, we connect the last one - the power supply connector, for this model it is located on the side panel.

This completes the connection of the T2 receiver. Next, you need to turn on the TV and receiver. By pressing the “AV-TV” switch button on the TV remote control, we switch from the antenna jack to the “tulips”, on newer TVs we select the input to which the receiver is connected. The following should appear on the screen:

The receiver will restart and a menu will appear with a search for channels and setting the initial parameters of the receiver:

Select the parameters and click "Auto Search", the receiver will scan and display the found channels.

If not all channels are found or there are none at all, we adjust the antenna and repeat the search from the receiver's menu until the number of channels and reception quality satisfies you. Happy viewing!

The Novaya Zemlya archipelago is popularly called the "Land of the Winds" for strong hurricanes and indomitable snowstorms. Here, in one of the most isolated corners of Russia, there are only two settlements - the administrative center with the beautiful name Belushya Guba and the village of Rogachevo. The inhabitants are only 3 thousand people. There is practically nothing else on the islands, sandwiched in the Arctic Ocean between the Barents and Kara Seas and with an area of ​​​​more than 83 thousand square kilometers. Only the arctic tundra, fjords, glaciers and polar bears.

“You can get to the mainland from here only by boat in the summer-autumn period or by plane, which is often canceled due to the peculiarities of the Arctic climate,” says local old-timer Arkady Ardanov. “But in Belushya Guba we have a regime: because of polar bears we are often simply not allowed to go outside the village."

The main leisure and source of information here, as in hundreds of other hard-to-reach, remote or simply small settlements in Russia, is television. Until recently, the inhabitants of the archipelago watched only three analogue TV channels and listened to the programs of one radio station. However, today each of the 3,000 viewers of Novaya Zemlya already receives ten TV channels and three radio stations in digital quality and absolutely free of charge.

Digitalization of TV and radio broadcasting will allow developing a single information space of the country and improving the quality of life of the population

In the village of Amderma in the Nenets Autonomous Okrug, located far beyond the Arctic Circle, the situation was not much different. Just a couple of months ago, the villagers, including many pensioners, watched only two TV channels at best. And today they have a choice of ten digital TV channels in excellent quality.

But in the remote villages of Lebedinki and Peshkovo, Novosibirsk Region, there is not even a cellular connection, but there is modern digital television without a subscription fee and any coding.

Information inequality - fight

Just some five or six years ago, hundreds of Russian settlements were practically excluded from the country's information space. Almost half of the inhabitants of Russia received no more than four analogue TV channels. The number of available sources of information directly depended on where a particular viewer lived: residents of large cities could choose from different TV channels, while the population of small towns had to be content with one or two TV channels. The reception quality of which, by the way, left much to be desired.

The Government of the Russian Federation decided to radically change the situation and in 2009 adopted the federal target program "Development of TV and Radio Broadcasting in the Russian Federation for 2009-2015". In accordance with it, the main performer - RTRS - transfers domestic television and radio broadcasting to digital technologies. Digital terrestrial television makes it possible to cover the most remote and isolated regions of Russia with a signal, improve the quality of the image and sound, and, importantly, save the frequency resource and use it in the future to expand the range of teleservices.

About 90% of the state program budget is directed to the construction of a digital broadcasting network in settlements with a population of less than 100 thousand people, in which 40% of the population of Russia live. The digitalization of television and radio broadcasting will allow developing a single information space of the country and improving the quality of life of the population. Construction of a domestic network of digital terrestrial television is the only way to provide the population with affordable and high-quality television without a subscription fee.

Digitalization area with Pluto

The deployment of digital infrastructure in Russia is one of the largest and most complex construction projects in the field of television broadcasting in the world. Many professionals in the communications and telecommunications industry agreed with this.

Since 2009, RTRS digital broadcasting stations have appeared in every region of Russia. There should be 4956 of them in total. The main part of the stations, namely 3666, are being built from scratch. Each of the broadcasting facilities is equipped with two digital transmitters for broadcasting packages of digital TV channels RTRS-1 (first multiplex) and RTRS-2 (second multiplex). The digital package contains 10 TV channels. The main goal of such construction is to make high-quality multi-channel television available to all residents of Russia.

All digital TV channels should be distributed absolutely free of charge everywhere: in a large city and in a small town. Keeping abreast of events is the right of every citizen of our country. Upon completion of the construction of the digital TV network, 20 TV channels in digital quality will be available to at least 98% of the population of Russia.

RTRS specialists are building a digital network in every corner of Russia. The work is often complicated by weather conditions, difficult transport accessibility, and even lack of infrastructure. For the construction of some broadcasting stations, it is necessary to specially lay power lines and even build roads.

From Kaliningrad to Kamchatka

Today, the situation with the availability of television is changing dramatically. For 130 million Russians, digital terrestrial television is already a reality. You just need to install a decimeter antenna and buy a digital set-top box for an analog TV.

The broadcasting network of the RTRS-1 digital TV channel package covers almost 90% of the Russian population in 84 regions. The package of digital TV channels RTRS-2 can be watched by more than 57% of the population in 82 regions of Russia. The entire digital broadcasting network of the first multiplex was built in 37 regions of Russia. And before the end of the year, RTRS plans to complete construction in six more: Kabardino-Balkaria, Khakassia, Nizhny Novgorod, Sakhalin, Chelyabinsk regions and the Stavropol Territory.

In addition, it is planned to launch regional versions of the first multiplex in each region of Russia. Local programs will appear on the TV channels "Russia 1" and "Russia 24". Today, regional news in the digital multiplex is already being watched in two regions of Russia - in the Samara and Volgograd regions.

20 TV channels - that's our minimum

In accordance with the state program, RTRS is deploying broadcasting networks for two packages of digital TV channels. It is 20 TV channels of two multiplexes - the very minimum that should be provided by the state for its citizens.

As Deputy Minister of Telecom and Mass Communications of the Russian Federation Alexei Volin said, these 20 channels (the first and second multiplexes) should be present in all environments, regardless of how a person receives TV programs: on a house antenna or on an individual one, using cable networks or a satellite operator .

Recently adopted amendments to the law "On the Mass Media" and "On Communications" oblige all telecom operators to broadcast mandatory public TV channels, which are part of the RTRS digital packages, without requiring any payment from their subscribers. Is it a lot or a little? A sociological study conducted by the Knowledge Management Center LLC in 2014 showed that the audience repertoire for 95% of the audience does not exceed 17 channels. At the same time, each person on a regular basis watches only 6-7 channels on average. In the vast majority of cases, these are channels that are part of two multiplexes.

Analog broadcast continues

Despite the prevalence of digital terrestrial television, analogue broadcasting will continue as long as there is a need for it among viewers and broadcasters. Until 2019, all-Russian mandatory public channels will receive a state subsidy for the distribution of an analog signal in cities with a population of less than 100,000 people.

In 2006, Russia signed the Geneva-06 international agreement on digital television. In accordance with it, on June 17 this year, in the countries that ratified the agreement, the priority in broadcasting moved from analogue to digital television. The legal protection was removed from the transmitters of analog TV channels: they could not interfere with the digital terrestrial TV signal of foreign broadcasters.

Upon completion of the construction of a digital television network, 20 TV channels in digital quality will be available to at least 98% of the population of Russia

In order to preserve analog broadcasting in the border regions of Russia, the Federal State Unitary Enterprise "Main Radio Frequency Center" has selected new broadcast frequencies for analog transmitters that are not compatible with digital frequency assignments of foreign states bordering Russia. And RTRS during June carried out large-scale work to transfer dozens of transmitters to new frequencies in order to guarantee uninterrupted analog broadcasting to Russian viewers after the entry into force of the norms of the international agreement "Geneva-06".

The digital infrastructure of RTRS is one of the most technologically advanced in the world. It allows the introduction of new modern types of teleservices. In particular, in five years, Russians will be able to watch high-definition television. Again, absolutely free. According to the Decree of the President of Russia, free digital terrestrial television in HD format should appear in Russia in 2021. RTRS is already conducting preparatory work to organize HDTV pilot zones in a number of large Russian cities. In the future, RTRS plans to start developing UHDTV, that is, ultra-high definition television.

The information and explanatory campaign is carried out with the financial support of the Ministry of Telecom and Mass Communications of the Russian Federation.

About "figure" in numbers

• Residents of Kursk were the first to watch digital terrestrial television. "Digit" was turned on there on June 26, 2009 at 13:00
• The federal target program for the development of television and radio broadcasting is 686 thousand volumes (120 tons) of developed documentation and 300 thousand various certificates and approvals
• The total height of the antenna-mast structures of all digital broadcasting facilities is 258 kilometers
• The highest TV tower of RTRS and concurrently the tallest building in Europe is Ostankino. Its height is 540 meters 80% of the installed equipment of domestic production

Composition of rtrs-1 and rtrs-2 multiplexes

The first multiplex was formed from 10 all-Russian obligatory public TV channels, determined by the Decree of the President of the Russian Federation. These are Channel One, Russia 1, Russia 2, NTV, Petersburg-5 Channel, Russia K, Russia 24, Karusel, Public Television of Russia and TV Center.

The second multiplex includes 10 popular TV channels that have passed the competitive selection of the Federal Competition Commission for Television and Radio Broadcasting. The RTRS-2 multiplex includes the REN TV, Spas, STS, Domashny, TV-3, NTV Plus Sport, Zvezda, Mir, TNT and Muz TV channels.

All digital TV channels are broadcast in the public domain and without a subscription fee.

DVB-T2 standard

All digital TV channels are broadcast in the DVB-T2 standard. This is the second generation of the European digital broadcasting standard. Among its advantages are an increase in the number of channels of the broadcast package, the possibility of organizing regional tie-ins, and the possibility of developing high-definition television.

Connecting to digital

Connecting to the "digit" does not require special knowledge. All you need is a UHF antenna (collective or individual), a TV with a DVB-T2 tuner or an analog TV to which you need to connect a digital terrestrial receiver (set-top box).

More than 1000 models of TVs and more than 100 models of set-top boxes supporting the DVB-T2 standard in Multiple PLP mode and MPEG-4 video coding format are represented in retail sales on the Russian market.

We kindly ask you to be vigilant and make sure when buying a TV or set-top box that they support the DVB-T2 standard!

Attention! Advisory Support Centers do not sell equipment.

Even as a child, living in the country, I always tried to set the TV to a good reception of a large number of channels. The only option that I figured out for myself from these attempts is that the higher the antenna is, the better the quality of the channels and the greater their number. But the height of the mast for the antenna has a limit. Therefore, some of the channels were always shown well, some were not shown very well, and some were not shown at all. Now, living in the city, you don’t experience problems with the quantity and quality of TV channels provided, but when visiting the village, sometimes you want to turn on the TV, switch channels, choosing an interesting program. But in the countryside, time flows more slowly and modern technologies arrive there late, and sometimes do not come at all.

In this regard, I set myself the goal of setting up as many television channels as possible in the village. To begin with, I propose to consider what options are available today to obtain a high-quality signal and picture on the TV:

1Cable TV- television, in which the signal is distributed through a television cable that is directly connected to each television set

Pros: Quality TV.

Cons: Subscription fee, available only in major cities.

2 Satellite television. Satellite television broadcasts via a satellite "suspended" in near-Earth orbit. The signal is received by viewers on an individual dish antenna.

Pros: Quality TV.

Cons: Cost of equipment, subscription fee.

3 Terrestrial television. Terrestrial television distributes the signal using ground repeater stations, in order to receive this signal it is necessary to use an antenna.

Pros: low cost.

Cons: often a low signal level, the display and quality of channels depends on the weather, distance from the tower, mast height, etc.

You can also say that TV channels can be watched via the Internet, but in this article I would like to talk about watching channels without using a computer / laptop, and even more so the Internet.

Of all the methods described, only the use of satellite TV was suitable for me, but I really didn’t want to spend money on buying equipment, and then paying a subscription fee. After digging around on the Internet, I found an alternative way - terrestrial digital television. The essence of digital television is as follows - the transmission of a television image and sound occurs by means of digital coding of the video signal and the sound signal using digital channels. Digital encoding, unlike analog, provides signal delivery with minimal losses, since the picture and sound are not affected by external factors (interference). Of the nuances of using digital television, I note the following - a television channel in digital television has two provisions, it will either work in good quality, or it will not work at all. Unlike analog TV, there is no boundary condition and interference, the only exception is if the channel has a very poor communication quality, it can slow down, turn off and turn on again, in order to avoid this, you need to use another antenna, raise the existing one higher or turn towards the TV tower .

What you need to watch digital TV:

TV antenna;

TV or set-top box (Set Top Box) with tuner DVB-T2(namely DVB-T2, outdated DVB-T will not work), support for the MPEG4 video signal compression standard and Multiple PLP mode.

You do not need to buy an additional antenna, just use the antenna for the analog signal. But the antenna itself is not enough, to watch digital TV you need a set-top box with a DVB-T2 tuner (some modern TVs do not need such a set-top box, since it is built into the TV, this information can be obtained from the documentation for the TV or on the manufacturer's website, which considers a similar case ). Prefixes are not expensive, on average from 1500 to 2000 rubles. In fact, apart from this prefix, you do not need to buy anything. Another plus is that you do not need to pay a subscription fee for terrestrial digital television.

It is important to note that digital TV allows you to view a limited number of channels, at the time of writing there were 20 of them (perhaps less depending on the region of residence).

Digital television is not tuned according to the principle - the higher it is raised, the more it is caught. You can only tune these 20 channels, plus you can add more analog channels that your antenna will catch (if the DVB-T2 set-top box or your TV has such a function). You can get more detailed information about the number of channels and the possibility of using digital television in your region by calling the RTRS hotline: 8-800-220-20-02 (free calls within Russia) or on the website: www.rtrs.rf.

So, I propose to move from theory to practice. In my case, a conventional television antenna was used, which was very popular 15 years ago. With this antenna, I was able to catch about 3 analog channels in good quality, 2 in satisfactory quality, and a couple more channels appeared in poor quality in good weather.

I purchased a DVB-T2 set-top box. Regarding the choice of prefixes, I did not rack my brains, because technically they are all alike as two drops of water. Most of them have two outputs - a tulip (some SCART) and HDMI, there is a USB connector for viewing the contents of USB media. I got the impression that they are all made in the same Chinese factory, only equipped with different boxes and labels. When buying, pay attention to the control panel of the set-top box, since you will use it all the time (switch channels, turn the volume down, up, etc.).

I connected the antenna to the DVB-T2 set-top box, and connected it to the TV using a tulip (it usually comes with the set-top box).

Tulip - RCA connectors for video signal and stereo sound. Yellow is for video signal, white is for mono signal or left channel of stereo two-channel audio signal, red is for right channel of stereo two-channel audio signal.

I’ll make a reservation right away, I connected the set-top box to an obsolete kinescope TV, so I chose a tulip cable, if you have an LCD or plasma TV with an HDMI output, then you should connect it with a nominal HDMI cable (it must be purchased separately), since the image quality will be much higher.

I switched the TV to AV mode and got to the DVB-T2 set-top box interface. Setting up the set-top box requires a minimum of effort, all default settings will satisfy most users. The main thing to do is to set up channels. To do this, I went to the channel search menu and selected Auto search.

A few minutes later, the DVB-T2 set-top box found those same 20 channels + 3 radio stations. But a few days later, from 11 to 20 channels disappeared, on the rtrs.ru website I saw that the towers to which I connected did not support 2 multiplexes (from 11 to 20 channels), and the fact that they worked for a couple of days, most likely there were tests. As a result, to view all 20 channels, I purchased a high-quality, "strong" antenna. Test video below.

ANT-T2-MAX antenna test video

In order to understand the capabilities and settings of this set-top box, I offer a photo of each of the menu items (I apologize for the low quality of the photo).

A digital set-top box, as I wrote earlier, can play files from a USB flash drive. To do this, insert USB device into the console, go to the menu, select "USB" - "Multimedia", select the playback format (music, pictures, video).

In addition, digital set-top boxes have the ability to record an image from a TV to a USB flash drive. To do this, it is enough to press the "Rec" button on the control panel of the DVB-T2 set-top box, after which the recording will start on the USB device.

To summarize, I am very pleased with the quality and quantity of digital TV channels (of course, more channels are possible, but not all at once). In my opinion, for remote places, dachas, villages, towns, where people are not ready to spend 10,000 rubles to purchase satellite TV + pay a monthly fee, I consider this option the most suitable.

The masters of our company connect and configure free tv channels analogue and digital terrestrial television transmitted by the Russian Television and Radio Broadcasting Network from the Ostankino TV tower. Connection and adjustment is made on TVs and television receivers - tuners (set-top boxes) of terrestrial TV. Services are provided to all districts of Moscow and the nearest districts of the Moscow region. For the convenience of users organized.

Broadcast television. How to watch free TV channels.

To the territory of Moscow and the Moscow region from the Ostankino TV tower of the Russian TV and radio broadcasting network rtrs.rf transmitted free terrestrial television channels: 19 analog and three packages of digital TV channels (10 channels in each package), which allows you to receive without any subscription fee for individual indoor or outdoor programs of Russian television. Even a piece of wire, one or two meters long, can be used as a receiving antenna. Broadcasting is carried out in the range of meter and decimeter waves, the transmitted TV channels can be watched for free.

The list of frequencies of free television channels of terrestrial television brought to your attention is designed to streamline the setting of the TV. Specifying the broadcast frequency of a specific TV channel speeds up the setup of TVs with no automatic TV channel sorting function. It also allows you to tune TV channels to old TV models, in which, as a result of leaving the circuit parameters, the APCG local oscillator automatic frequency control system does not work correctly.

The table shows the analog frequencies needed to watch free tv channels on TV.

Initially, digital broadcasting was carried out by the company rtrs.rf in the DVB-T system. In some regions, it still works, but will soon be completely superseded by broadcasting on new system DVB-T2 digital terrestrial broadcasting, which is accepted as a standard. TVs and set-top boxes released with a DVB-T tuner do not allow watching TV programs in the new terrestrial television broadcasting system and will not work.

How many channels does a digital set-top box show 2019

How many channels does the digital set-top box show terrestrial television DVB-T2?
With the help of an on-air digital set-top box, you can set up three multiplexes: RTRS-1, RTRS-2 and RTRS-3, ten channels each, as well as 12 channels of the "fourth multiplex", forty-two in total. So, the list of free digital terrestrial TV channels received in Moscow and the Moscow Region consists of three packages of ten channels each and a package of twelve channels.

Russia's first digital television multiplex RTRS-1

AT first multiplex includes a set of 10 free-to-air TV channels broadcast at the frequency of the 30th TV channel 546 MHz using the DVB-T2 digital terrestrial television system.
terrestrial television of Moscow can be downloaded on our website.

The second multiplex of digital television in Russia RTRS-2

In second multiplex includes a set of television channels received on the 24th frequency channel 498 MHz in the DVB-T2 system. Unlike TV programs included in first multiplex included in second multiplex TV channels are not mandatory for free distribution by satellite and cable TV operators.

The third multiplex of digital television in Russia RTRS-3

Third multiplex broadcast in 2019. Third multiplex digital terrestrial television is transmitted in test mode on the vacated frequency of 34 television channels, which previously broadcast in the outdated DVB-T digital television system. Ten positions of the digital package are distributed among the creators of television programs, who share the broadcast time among themselves. Among them there are high-definition terrestrial TV channels - IQ HD and HD Life.

TV channel Hunting and Fishing. TV Channel Drive

When automatically scanning the ranges of digital terrestrial television, in addition to those described above, 12 programs are detected at a frequency of 562 kHz: 10 channels of the first multiplex, as well as TV channel Hunting and Fishing and TV channel Drive.
Sometimes these 12 TV channels are called the fourth multiplex in Moscow. The quality of the transmitted signal of the channels of the fourth multiplex is much worse than in the first three: 8K instead of 32K, and the signal level is almost half as much. Therefore, the playback of channels occurs in the worst quality and with image fading. The first ten channels after auto tuning can be deleted.

And leave the next two channels, because today, digital channels 562kHz frequency is the only possibility free viewing the popular TV channel for hunters and fishermen "Hunting and Fishing", as well as the TV channel "Drive" for fans of cars and motor sports.
When choosing a receiving antenna for terrestrial digital television, you should focus on the acceptable reception quality of these very weak TV channels Hunting and Fishing and Drive.

What to do if the digital channels on the TV are gone

Why lost digital channels on a tuned TV receiver? At present, when terrestrial digital television is just beginning to explore Russian spaces, the question of the disappearance of one, several channels or a whole dozen - a multiplex, is sometimes asked by all owners of digital terrestrial receivers.
Why and where digital television channels disappear is exactly known by the Russian Television and Radio Broadcasting Network RTRS, which changes the broadcasting parameters.
In order for the missing channels to reappear on your receivers, you should redo the automatic or manual channel search on an external terrestrial receiver, or on a TV with a built-in digital receiver of terrestrial DVB-T2 channels.

Answering questions on free TV

Doubles the image from the indoor antenna

Our TV doubles, as if it is in 3d mode, we can’t set it up.

Ghosting appears when watching analog terrestrial television, when the antenna receives direct and reflected signals from the television tower. The signal reflected from tall buildings arrives with a slight delay, which leads to a ghosting effect. It is necessary to use an antenna with a good radiation pattern, preferably an external one, and orient it in the best possible way to the television center.

Erisson 43ULEA99T2SM TV does not find any DVB-T channels

I can’t watch channels through DVB, I bought a separate antenna, I turn on auto search, it doesn’t find a single channel, I already changed the region from Russia to Germany, and manual search. What to do? 10/30/2018, Moscow, Chertanovo district.

To tune digital terrestrial channels on your TV, like on any other TV, you must, without changing your country of residence, set the option of DVB-T2 digital terrestrial (terrestrial) channels in the Menu, connect your own external antenna and turn on auto tuning.
Two points are significant: To watch free-to-air TV channels simultaneously on several TVs, you need to connect to a special splitter - a splitter that divides the input television signal from the antenna into several outputs independent of each other. Any splitter, or as they say "crab", weakens the level of the TV signal. Therefore, you may need to install a special one that is powered from an electrical outlet. To obtain the best image quality, the antenna amplifier should be located in close proximity to the antenna.

This issue is very relevant now, because they promise to turn off analog television broadcasting in Russia this year.
You should not be afraid of this, you can set up digital television on a DVB-T2 set-top box. How to set up - enabling automatic search programs. And it is not necessary to change the receiving antenna, the reception of radio waves can be carried out on an already installed and oriented analog one. Unless you want to get rid of a heavy and bulky old antenna and instead receive and tune digital television to a small-sized UHF band.
