Internet television without a dish. Satellite and digital terrestrial television without subscription fees. Which company to choose a satellite TV set?

In November 2016, the Russian satellite TV operator NTV Plus launched a service that allows you to use broadcasting services without an antenna in your home. First of all, the new service is intended for residents of large cities and apartment buildings. You can connect satellite TV using a special set-top box, which connects both to the dish and is configured independently via cable or Wi-Fi (via the Internet). In addition to linear viewing, the hybrid device will allow you to use a number of functions:

• deferred viewing;
• video request.;
• paused viewing.

At the same time, the price for such a set of equipment will not exceed the cost of a standard technical package.

The new hybrid device is designed not only for new subscribers, but also for existing customers.

It is worth adding that a little earlier, in September 2016, the TV broadcasting operator Tricolor also began providing a similar service for TV viewing using a set-top box, without the participation of a satellite dish.

What is needed to connect to the service

If you decide to connect NTV Plus satellite TV without a dish, you must leave a request on the official website of the service representative or call and invite a specialist.

The official representative will have to deliver and connect the new equipment (hybrid set-top box) to your home. But before you do this, you must have an Internet access service activated. After all, to connect the service you do not need additional cabling. Video signals are transmitted using special networks that belong to organizations that have the right to deal with the operation of the building.

The signals are decoded in the residential sector and come directly from the receiving equipment and smart card.

Purpose of the hybrid set-top box

Modern digital television viewing is, first of all, relevant for citizens living in megacities. There are several reasons for this:

1. Due to the density of buildings, the satellite signal cannot be picked up.
2. The facade of the house does not provide for mounting an antenna, or their presence is possible, but limited in number.

From all of the above, it follows that now every resident of a large or small city can afford to connect to the NTV Plus satellite TV service without a dish and watch their favorite TV shows without restrictions. To do this you only need:

• have access to the Internet (cable or Wi-Fi);
• call an official technician to connect new equipment and services.

No restrictions - it's simple!

A satellite dish, or simply a “dish,” on the one hand, is no longer a curiosity and is actually affordable to many homeowners. On the other hand, there are many consumers who classify it as luxury. And there is no question of buying a satellite dish for the dacha. But in vain!

A cottage or house in a village, as a rule, is located in an area where television and other broadcasting is difficult. As a result, due to poor signal quality, watching your favorite movie may not take place. In addition, constant interruptions in the signal can negatively affect the operation of the device itself. Therefore, the optimal solution would be to purchase a satellite dish.

A large number of satellite programs are broadcast in the clear, these are the so-called channels without subscription fees. To view them, you only need to purchase receiving equipment. But these programs, as a rule, are dispersed across different satellites, and in order to collect a decent list of programs, you will need to install a rotating antenna capable of covering several satellite positions.

Satellite television antennas for summer cottages

This is a system of equipment for receiving a signal from a satellite. In order for the operation of this system to be justified, before purchasing you need to know what is included in the kit and what models of inexpensive satellite antennas for your dacha can be purchased.

1. Satellite antenna (dish) with converter.

   Each antenna differs in diameter - from 50 to 300 cm, and thus the signal quality differs - the larger the diameter, the better the signal, even in conditions of strong winds, snowfalls and other weather conditions. But here you should know when to stop; to watch television in Russian, devices with a diameter of up to 90 cm are suitable. Large dishes are used to connect foreign TV.

   At the same time, this does not mean that by choosing the largest dish you are guaranteed to get the best signal quality. And all because, in addition to the diameter of the antenna, the quality of the signal is affected by the location where the dacha is located (hill, plain, forest, etc.), the presence of neighbors in whose houses these devices are already installed, the telecom operator, etc. Therefore, before you buy a satellite dish for a TV in your country house, you should invite a specialist from a company who will subsequently install equipment to take measurements and select the optimal dish size.

2. Receiver with remote control or conditional access module.

   The receiver is an integral part of the equipment that is installed near the TV and is designed to convert the signal received from the “dish” into the familiar video broadcast with voice. Depending on the progressiveness of the model, some devices work with only one coding system, others with several. In addition, advanced models contain a recording disk, making the option of delayed recording of content available.

   At first glance, the phrase satellite TV without dish is meaningless, because to receive an electromagnetic wave from a satellite, a receiving antenna of the appropriate range is required, and this antenna must be carefully tuned to the location of the transponder. Everything is correct, but in the common understanding the phrase “satellite TV” means a set of television channels transmitted from a satellite that cannot be received on a conventional antenna. And in this meaning of the phrase, there is an answer to this question.
   Firstly, the on-air third digital multiplex, which is broadcast to Moscow and some areas of the Moscow region, contains satellite TV channels. To view, you need an over-the-air antenna, not a satellite dish.
   Secondly, satellite TV channels are included in the list of channels of cable operators (in Moscow these are Rostelecom and Akado). To watch them you need a TV cable, but you don't need a dish.
   Thirdly, satellite TV without a dish can be watched via the Internet, on special IPTV set-top boxes or on Smart TVs.

   
   

   But what if we want to watch the full package of programs from well-known satellite television operators, such as Tricolor, NTV Plus or Telekarta? If there is a receiver at the dacha with a viewing card paid for for a year, they use it only 3 - 4 months a year.
   In this case, satellite television without a receiving antenna - a dish - is what you need. A modern satellite receiver can be connected to the Internet and enjoy watching your favorite channels.

   Tricolor without plate, or tricolor via the Internet You can watch online with high quality at a home network speed of more than 10 Mb/sec. A Lan network cable must be used to connect the output port of the router and the input port of the Tricolor TV receiver. This will automatically connect to the Internet (you need to make sure in the Menu that the network settings are set to Auto mode). If you successfully connect to Tricolor online, a confirmation message will appear in the right corner. When you turn on the device via the Internet for the first time, the correctness of your identifier will be checked.
   By default, the Tricolor TV receiver is set to the satellite broadcast source. To view Tricolor without a dish, you need to use the remote control via the menu to set the Internet broadcast mode. In the general list of television programs available for viewing, select one, press the red button on the remote control and select tricolor via the Internet.

   The installation of a TV antenna, available to all TV viewers, allows you to receive digital television without a dish; broadcasting is carried out in the dvb-t2 standard. The satellite broadcast system is becoming a thing of the past, and the analogue one will be completely turned off in the near future. The reason for this is the improvement of technologies for using terrestrial radio frequencies. If previously no more than 18 programs were sent from the Ostankino tower, then in 2016 there are already 30. Channels are received without a dish, and come in numbers of 10 at one frequency, this package is called “Multiplex”.

   1. First multiplex Ostankino TVK 30, frequency 546 MHz
   2. Second multiplex Ostankino TVK 24, frequency 498 MHz
   3. Test third multiplex Ostankino TVK 34, frequency 578 MHz

   For local repeaters, broadcast parameters may differ. The Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation provides for the widespread launch of twenty federal, free channels. You will find towers under construction and operating in the Moscow region in the right block of the current page.

   Reception of digital television without a dish is possible on any television, the difference being that for older models you will need a dvb-t2 receiver. This is a small set-top box with a separate remote control through which it is controlled. The signal from the antenna is supplied to the receiver, and you can connect it to the TV using a “tulips” or “scart” cord. How to set up the receiver is described in the user manual. In new types of flat TV panels, the tuner is already built-in, look for dvb-t2 in the characteristics and try to find digital channels. If it doesn’t work, check the cable connection and find out if you have regular cable TV in your home.

   The main part of the equipment set is the antenna; it is not a dish, and the quality of terrestrial television reception depends on its power. For the Moscow region, an antenna with an average gain is usually sufficient. In some cases, a more powerful option is required. This happens when a country cottage, private house or cottage is located in a lowland and surrounded by tall trees. The distance to the tower also plays an important role. Installation is desirable in the highest part of the house; installation is carried out on a small bracket or steel mast. The price of the work will vary depending on the complexity; the exact cost is calculated by the master according to the standard price list, taking into account current discounts and promotions. The connection is made to the existing cabling using an amplifier and dividers. The master can arrive the very next day after receiving the order.
