The IP-TV set from Rostelecom, reviewed on the adjacent pages, under the simple name “Interactive TV 2.0” is massively conquering the apartments of Russians. And, of course, like any other new product, IP-TV version 2 has many nuances and, to be honest, problems. This article is designed to solve a number of problems that arose during the operation of the Zabava application and the Interactive TV 2.0 kit.

WHEN YOU TURN ON OTT STB FOR THE FIRST TIME, USE THE ETHERNET CABLE TO DOWNLOAD/UPDATE THE FIRMWARE! DETAILS BELOW!

ATTENTION! Why is it not necessary to update the firmware of set-top boxes (OTT STB) via Wi-Fi? The fact is that the first time the set-top box is updated via Wi-Fi, when newer firmware is released, it will not be able to update even via cable and will work on the old version. The problem is being addressed, but at the moment it is better to make the first connection via cable - then you can update via Wi-Fi. However, there is also one point here. When updating via Wi-Fi (especially if its signal is weak), there is a possibility that the firmware will not have time to be completely downloaded from the required server (the server closes the connection due to a prolonged download session), after which part of the “broken” file remains on the set-top box, which will be loaded into flash memory. Accordingly, when the bootloader starts, the firmware will not load correctly, but will display the error “firmware is corrupted”. This can be solved by downloading the firmware again (usually there are no problems on the second try). Or update only when there is a good Wi-Fi signal.

CONNECTION EXAMPLE

Let's assume that we use the Huawei 8245H terminal as a device to access the network. In the Komi branch, this is the key CPE for connecting subscribers using PON technology. Huawei has established itself in the market not only as a supplier of network communications equipment, but also as a reliable innovator of the most complex technical solutions for business in general. A confident look into the future - this is how we should consider the development and implementation of Huawei solar inverters. You can read the full product catalog and additional information.

Huawei 8245H

We connect the STB (set-top box, receiver) to the FIRST (!) LAN port. The same one that is used for the Internet. The remaining three LAN ports (2,3,4) are used for “regular” interactive TV from Rostelecom). If you have a router connected to it, temporarily disconnect it (all settings will remain in place).

Once connected, simply turn on the set-top box. The system itself will begin updating if necessary.

ATTENTION! If you have an LG TV of the LM or LV series and the Zabava application has disappeared from the list, the icon has become orange with the Rostelecom logo, then “Interactive TV 2.0” will no longer work for you due to the features of this TV model, or rather its limitations in technical terms — the TV cannot “load” the list of channels and other content. LG developers are preparing to release new hardware for these TVs. Perhaps only after this the problem will be resolved.

ATTENTION! Samsung 2015 J series TVs running Tizen OS (for example, the JU7500 model) do not yet have a working version of the Zabava application, because does not support a special encryption module. There is no information yet about the release date of the application for this OS.

+ YOUR QUESTIONS (if you haven’t found a description of your problem, write in the comments) or ask our expert a question

Quick search by issue:

What is an OTT set-top box? And how is it different from the usual one?

An OTT set-top box is an STB that operates on the Over the Top principle. This means that video content is delivered not in the traditional Rostelecom way (Multicast), but directly “on top” of the Internet. What does this mean in practice? Well, first of all, now you only need 2 megabits in order to watch channels. In general, the bandwidth for television is no longer reserved and there is no priority for IP-TV traffic. Secondly, this means that you can be connected to ANY provider, i.e. if for some reason you are not satisfied with the quality of the Internet from RTK, then you can “take” the Internet from, for example, TTK, and also continue to use the OTT set-top box - it doesn’t matter from whom you get the Internet. Thirdly, this means that the set-top box becomes mobile, without being tied not only to the provider, but also physically in general. We took the console, went to a friend, watched a movie, and brought it home.

Where can I get the Zabava app for my TV?

Your TV must support Smart TV

For LG TVs - the application can be found in the LG Store

For Samsung TVs - the application can be found in the Samsung App Store

After accepting the license agreement where you have to click "Agree", The main application window will open:

How can I watch a movie or the desired channel on a TV that I ordered on an IP-TV set-top box or tablet?

The Zabava app allows you to use the service "Multiscreen". Those. any movie ordered on any device can be played on any of them. If you ordered it on a tablet, watch it on TV, if you ordered it on a set-top box, watch it on your tablet, and so on. By the way, not only films are being transferred, but also channels. If you subscribe to any channel package, you will also be able to watch them on another device. What is needed for this? Launch the Zabava application and look for the “Multiscreen” item in the menu:

To combine content on the set-top box and TV you need:

When entering “Multiscreen”, select “Interactive TV Subscriber”:

Next, he will ask you to enter the number and activation code from the IP-TV set-top box. Where can I get it? To do this, in the menu of the TV set-top box itself, you need to select a similar item “Multiscreen” and select the device TV set-top box (this device).

After entering this data into the TV window with the Zabava application (remember, it asked us for a code), the application will restart, after which all the films and channels that are on the set-top box will be available on the TV.

To combine content on your tablet and TV you need:

Let's say you already use the Zabava.ru portal and watch content from there on your tablet, on which the application of the same name is installed. You can also watch it on your TV screen. To do this, launch the Zabava application on your TV and select “Multiscreen”. When logging in, select “User of the Zabava.ru portal”:

Then enter your login and password for the Zabava.ru portal and now you have all the purchased films and channel subscriptions on your TV.

IMPORTANT! You cannot use the connection with both a TV set-top box and a tablet (Zabava.ru service) at the same time. Those. On the TV you can only use movies or channels from a set-top box or tablet. We emphasize at the same time!

First launch of the IP-TV 2.0 set-top box. Network configuration.

It is better to carry out the first launch via an ethernet connection. Those. just connect the cable from the set-top box to the modem/router/optical terminal and turn it on. This is done for its initial setup. This is not required, but is recommended to be done by the service provider. After which you can disconnect the cable and turn on the set-top box to configure operation via Wi-Fi. It should be taken into account that the better the signal, the greater the likelihood of trouble-free viewing of channels and movies in high quality. To do this, click the button “Set up the network.” A list of networks will appear - select yours, enter the password for it and that’s all, actually:

I can't find the Zabava app on my SmartTV!

We remind you that models with a release date starting from 2012 are supported. Be sure to check out the app in the Premium section.

The application crashes on the LG 42LM640T TV with the error “The request could not be processed. Try again."

The problem is observed on LG TVs produced in 2012, or rather in models LG*LM***). It is related to the technical limitations of the TV itself, so Rostelecom cannot influence this problem in any way, unfortunately.

The same applies to LG 32LM620T TV models. When loading the application I get an error: "The request could not be processed, please try again." The problem is in the application itself (it cannot load correctly).

Samsung TV UE40ES6100. Crashes when you turn on any channel.

The problem is related to the technical limitations of this TV model, so Rostelecom cannot influence this problem in any way, unfortunately.

Why, while watching a movie, the quality is sometimes normal, then becomes noticeably worse? Then everything is fine again...

This may be due to overload of the servers themselves, problems with the provider, or problems in any link of the route. The application automatically selects the playback bitrate based on the speed of the channel to the server that delivers the content. The set-top box adapts to the speed of your Internet connection. If the speed “sags,” then the quality of the picture automatically decreases so that the film does not start to slow down, “stutter,” and so on. Let's say a torrent from a home computer completely clogs the channel. This is just an example - speed can drop for various reasons. By the way, this function can be disabled in “Settings” -> “My settings” -> “TV quality monitoring”.

By the way, the bitrate decreases even when the pppoe session is restarted (when the modem is rebooted, for example).

The set-top box does not see or open my file from the flash drive!

The same question comes from subscribers who use DLNA(media server). Pay attention to the file extension that the set-top box supports for “Interactive TV 2.0”

Video formats: avi, mkv, ts, mp4, m2p, mpeg, mpg, m2ts, mfx, wmv, asf
Audio file formats: mp3, ogg, mp2, wav, aac, ac3, dts, wma, m4a, flac
Image formats: jpg, tif, png, gif, bmp, jpeg, tiff

Is it possible to roll back the version of Fun on my TV?

No, this option is not provided.

Will OTT STB be able to connect to Wi-Fi in the 5Ghz band?

No, operation is provided only with a frequency of 2.4 Ghz.

Error R0E0RS0ES0 appears on the screen when purchasing a movie. Other films can be ordered without problems.

This problem is still being addressed. The movie may have already been removed from the platform, but the console itself has not yet updated the available content. Even a reboot will not “remove” this film from the list. Therefore, no matter how sad it is, it is better to choose another film.

I’m trying to connect a TV package from a set-top box, but when I try, a message appears: “failed to make a payment; payment status. request status 109 attempt rejected." Or the error “Error 1001″

This is a payment system error, not Rostelecom. Try to make the payment later, or contact technical support - they will be able to independently connect you to the required package. Call 8-800-1000-800

Instead of the current program, a program that was broadcast several hours earlier is broadcast. They show channels from a completely different region

Your account transactions are required. or incorrect settings on the channel in your branch. In any case, only technical support 8-800-1000-800 will help you here.

I want to link my “Interactive TV” service to my account on fun.ru in order to watch already connected TV packages through a laptop. But I can not. I enter the activation number and STB activation code, and on the portal it says: “Login and password are not correct.” I enter 100% correct data.

This happens when registration on the Zabava portal is done incorrectly. Firstly, did you receive an email confirming your registration on the site? You should have successfully registered only after clicking on the link in this email. If, suppose, you have confirmed your registration, but the registration still does not go through, try performing a new registration on the Zabava.ru website. If this doesn’t help, then manual operations with your account will be required by the company’s engineers. Contact technical support: 8-800-1000-800.

The Zabava app does not show channels on the LG TV. There is a constant loading when switching channels.

When entering the Zabava portal, it gives an error - “Error. Contact technical support."

For all questions regarding the Zabava portal, please contact the hotline number - 8-800-51-000-51

When I try to log in to Smart TV, I get the error “master profile already exists”

Your account transactions are required. You should contact the technical support service 8-800-1000-800

I activate the console for the first time. After downloading the updates, the message “Server is unavailable” appears, then a cyclic reboot occurs. Or the information message “downloading update” hangs for five minutes and again an endless cycle of reboots

Connect the set-top box with a cable and check the operation of the application. Most likely the connection is incorrect. Alternatively, problems with connecting to the Internet.

After watching a program in the archive or which was paused, returning to the live broadcast, the picture freezes and the viewing control interface also “hangs” on the screen

When I go to a channel, it says “Error opening channel”, and if you try to look at its archive, it says “Error opening record”

The issue has been escalated to the application developers. Work is underway to eliminate

When I try to view the channels of a package, I get the error “YOUR STARTER package is not connected,” although my device is linked and the package is checked.

I arrived in another city, and now the channels won’t load on my Lenovo tablet. Is this how it should be?

The problem is that IP-TV 2.0 also has the concept of “Roaming”. Those. if the client travels outside of his macro-regional branch, then the problem of coordinating packages between branches arises. Try closing the application, going to the device settings, then to the “Applications” menu. Select the “Zabava” application there and click on the “Erase data” button. If this does not help, then reinstall the application.

Senkatel tablet. Channels are not shown. Infinite loading or "playback error" message. I measured the speed on the tablet - more than 10 megabits.

Check if the date and time on your tablet are set correctly? Is there synchronization with the Internet? This problem may occur if the real date and time do not match the one set on the tablet.

I can’t log into the Zabava application on Smart TV - I enter my login/password, the application restarts, a window appears with an empty field and Accept/Cancel buttons. After clicking accept, you are prompted to log in again. I reinstalled the application.

You can’t fix it yourself - contact technical support 8-800-1000-800.

zabava app crashes on iPad

The problem is being resolved. The problem was fixed in February 2016

The Zabava app takes a long time to load on my TV, what is causing this?

The application does not open on the Galaxy Tab 2 tablet. It says “The service agreement has been terminated.”

You have two accounts, one of which is closed, the other is active. The tablet is linked to the old, “deleted” account. You need to call 8-800-1000-800 and clarify the details of the account that remains “active”.
