Equipment for digital television is what you can buy in our store. How to connect and configure equipment for satellite TV mts Set-top box mts

Modern home digital TV in HD quality is a new milestone in cable TV. If earlier it was enough to lead a cable into the house and connect it to the TV, now, with the increase in the size of TV screens, the image of this quality is not enough for a comfortable perception of the picture. To view channels in digital quality, a special set-top box or TV module is used. Setting them up is not so difficult, especially since the equipment is usually set up by a cable TV specialist.

You can catch DVB T2 digital television channels for free using a regular terrestrial antenna. But, as a rule, there will be not so many channels, and it is necessary to have a line of sight from the antenna to the TV tower. Therefore, it is better to connect cable digital TV, in which there will be many more channels, and no antenna is needed, even if you pay a small monthly fee for this. Consider how to connect home TV from MTS.

How to connect

Connecting your home MTS TV is as easy as shelling pears: call the toll-free number 8-800-250-00-50, state your address and make sure that connection is possible in your house. Then leave a request for connection, and within a few days a specialist will contact you to clarify the connection date. We advise you, using the information below, to determine in advance the type of equipment that you wish to use. Equipment can be rented and paid for a small monthly rental fee, as well as redeemed by paying a certain amount once.

Usually, a specialist himself connects and configures the equipment, but if you have the fate of connecting yourself, then watch the following video. Various details and instructions are provided below.

TV module

In order to use the CAM module, the TV must have a CI slot and a built-in DVB-C receiver. These components are already found in all modern TVs.


The advantages of this method of connecting digital TV are as follows:

  • no need to use an additional IPTV set-top box, which will take up extra space;
  • all channels will be present in the TV itself, and an extra remote control will not interfere with you;
  • the device itself is cheaper.

But there is also a drawback: you will not be able to take advantage of such useful IPTV features as replay, rewind and pause of TV channels in real time, as well as picture-in-picture, video on demand, etc.

The procedure for connecting the CAM module of cable digital TV from MTS is as follows:

  1. Turn off the TV;
  2. We insert the CAM module into the CI connector.
  3. We insert the Smart card into the module so that the chip of the card is on the side of the sticker on the module.
  4. Turn on the TV

Configuring the CAM module consists of the following steps:

  1. We set the correct time and time zone in the TV settings, and also, if the "Countries" section is present, select Russia or one of the countries of Western Europe (England, France, Germany and others).
  2. In the digital TV signal reception mode, we search for channels with the parameters indicated in the table below.

The process of setting up MTS TV is completed. When updating a channel package, you need to search again.

HD set-top box

Connecting cable TV from MTS using a set-top box must be selected in 2 cases:

  1. If your TV does not have a CI slot or DVB-C receiver.
  2. If you need IPTV functions pause, rewind, etc.

When choosing a set-top box, pay attention to the following: if your TV does not have an HDMI connector, then you need an SD set-top box connected to a TV using an RCA tulip cable. With the help of such a decoder, you can only use the IPTV functions, viewing programs and movies in HD quality will not be available. If your TV is equipped with such a port, then you can quite enjoy watching high definition HDTV programs.


It is also worth noting that when choosing this type, control will be carried out by the console from the console. To connect a decoder, we first insert a TV cable from MTS into it.

We turn on our TV and select the HDMI or AV signal source with the remote control. When you turn it on for the first time, the decoder will immediately offer to search for channels, we agree. As you can see, decoder setup is very simple. We will consider the functionality of various IPTV set-top boxes in more detail in other articles.

Thus, setting up a home TV from MTS is not difficult. If you have a modern TV, you can use a special CAM module. If the TV is too old, or you want convenient IPTV functions, then you can use a set-top box that will allow you to rewind the broadcast, pause and many other convenient things.

Cheap with current promotion. Everything you need is included. Receiver s9-3900.

Minuses

It is installed more difficult than the well-known tricolor competitor. Expensive tariff offered by the operator. The receiver does not have a Pan & Scan mode. There is no way to watch free channels from the same satellite, just what the provider provided.

Review

Specially I took kit # 190, as it offers the s9-3900 receiver - one of the two most modern for MTS. Yes, it turns on longer (about 20-30 seconds from pressing the button to the start of viewing), I read that there are a lot of glitches, although, to be honest, in fact, I have not encountered any problems so far. But on this receiver, all channels offered by MTS are available (except for UHD, although this may be a weak signal), including Disney, without which I would not buy a satellite at all. The bundled package has a tariff and includes channels from three packages: basic, children and adult. The contact center told me that you can change the tariff to just "basic" only by writing a statement in the MTS salon. And given that the "adult" package is simply ridiculous (someone really pays extra for general tariffs), you will have to walk around and change the tariff. The installation is not very difficult - I calculated on the MTS website (in advance) which side the plate would be, hung it outside the window, but then the help of my family was required - I orientated the line built by the application in the smartphone to the satellite, but I got "0". So I had to tell my family, and I turned and tilted the antenna. Tricolors are much easier to catch, I must say. I replaced the complete converter with a multiport one, extended the second cable to the kitchen, installed a cheap receiver and got free channels in the kitchen :) In total, about 20 unique ones, about 40, taking into account the "hour" and HD versions. It is a pity, but there is no First, Russia and NTV for free, but there is TNT, Friday, 2x2, Zvezda, etc. So by paying extra you can get a kind of multiroom without additional monthly fees.

MTS provides not only mobile communications, but also home Internet with interactive satellite TV. When using the latter, the installation of special equipment is required, which will allow access to TV broadcasts. Users who decide to use the services of the presented operator and connect a TV should know how to connect and configure the MTS DS 701 set-top box correctly.

The receiver in question is necessary to provide an acceptable signal and comfortable viewing of entertainment resources. Today, when connecting satellite TV, the operator issues exactly the Castpal model. Below we will study in detail the issue of connecting and configuring parameters.

Let the operator company try to promote interactive television, but the model in question belongs to the linear type of set-top boxes. That is, the equipment does not need a SIM card. The main advantage highlighted by users is a larger coverage area than hybrid TV, which allows you to view online services, can boast.

In other words, increased coverage becomes a decisive factor for many users. After all, the tariffs offered with a prefix differ in low prices, and a linear connection will provide an opportunity to install satellite TV in any country house. For the city, however, subscribers prefer to choose interactive (hybrid) television.

Characteristic

DS701 technical parameters:

  1. Provides DVB, RCA, HDMO, S / P DIF connectors.
  2. A USB port is also installed, which will allow you to connect other devices and watch your own movies.
  3. The built-in MSTAR 7S75 processor supports most of the formats, including H.265 / HEVC.
  4. Installed as software - Irdeto.

The maximum available resolution, in which you can watch channels and movies, is 1080p. Additional functions include subtitles, a TV guide showing the schedule of programs, parental control and others.

Equipment

The package includes:


The cost depends on the configuration. For example, today the operator offers the following options:

  • 3400 rubles for a set-top box without an antenna.
  • 3990 rubles with an antenna, the size of which is 0.6 m.
  • 4490 r with 0.9 m antenna.

How to set up the MTS set-top box model DS701 - step by step instructions

Setting up the MTS DS701 set-top box is not difficult. Any inexperienced user can cope with this procedure simply by following the instructions:

  1. Connect the set-top box to your TV and network.
  2. Next, start the TV set and the receiver itself.
  3. The system will show a menu where you must specify the time and other items.
  4. Then select "Auto Channel Search".
  5. When the system is able to search for available channels, restart the receiver and TV set.

How to connect an MTS SIM card in a DS701 model set-top box

Satellite TV set-top box MTS model DS701 is linear, which excludes the installation of a SIM card. Therefore, connecting the presented equipment will not cause you any problems. Connect it to the network and run it. The absence of a SIM card makes it impossible to use interactive functions. But, on the other hand, your coverage area is larger, due to which the picture quality is better.

Common mistakes

Sometimes users run into problems. It is not necessary to carry a technician to repair or buy a new receiver if error 8888 appears on the screen. It indicates a failed connection or incorrect software operation. It is necessary to check how well and correctly the cables are connected.

The second solution to the problem is to reset the parameters to the factory version. Also common is the “No channel” error, which can occur due to incorrectly specified frequencies when the user independently searched and tuned in channels. Other reasons are related to non-payment of the subscription fee or lack of the required package.

The operator offers its customers a wide range of modern services, and you can use not only mobile communications, but also use home Internet and TV. And if the subscriber decides to use several services, he can get a discount, or even one of the services for free.

Today we will tell you about the features of television from the MTS company: what is a set-top box for, how much it costs, and is it necessary to buy it from the operator itself.

What is the prefix for?

A feature of television from many operators is that a set-top box is required for viewing. Of course, some providers offer offers in which additional equipment is not required, in which case either an application or an Internet portal is used for access.

If we talk about TV from MTS, then you do not need an Internet connection to watch it. The user can choose one of two options for how to use the service.

The first is through a prefix. To do this, a cable will be inserted into the apartment, which will ensure the reception of a digital signal. The set-top box itself is connected to the TV.


The second use case for the CAM module. However, this is only available if your TV is equipped with the appropriate slot. One of the advantages of the module is that you use your usual TV remote control to control it. The signal coming to the TV through the cable is decoded with the help of the installed module.

But when using a set-top box, a prerequisite is the use of a separate remote control that comes with the kit. Note that in modern models of set-top boxes, the remote control can be configured to simultaneously use both the remote control for the set-top box and for the TV. You will not need to use the TV remote to turn on the TV, but only from the set-top box.

What is the price

The cost of the set-top box depends on the model that will be used by you. The new current model costs about three thousand rubles, but it can be rented.

The rental price depends on what services you plan to use from the operator. So, if only TV, then you will pay 110 rubles a month for renting a set-top box, but if you also connect to the Internet, then the rent will be only ten rubles.

But if you plan to use cellular communication as well, then when you connect to “All MTS”, you will also be able to choose interactive TV. Note that in this case you also need a prefix, but of a different type.


You can use the equipment on a lease basis, which is already included in the cost of the converged tariff, or you can purchase it for the full price - 6.5 thousand rubles. The operator indicates that the rent will cost 140 rubles per month. However, if you refuse it and purchase a set-top box at full price, then the cost of the tariff will not change.

Which option to choose depends on a number of factors. The peculiarity of MTS is that the operator offers exactly the lease on the set-top box. So, many operators either offer to buy equipment, or use an installment plan for a certain period of time.


Therefore, at MTS you can cancel the service at any time and return the leased equipment. In case of installments, the set-top box is not returned, but remains with the subscriber, who, when disconnected, pays the still unpaid part of the cost.

Without prefix

Many MTS subscribers, as well as those who are just planning to use TV from the company, ask whether it is possible to use the service without a set-top box? This, for example, is relevant for owners of modern TV models with Smart TV support.

You can use it, but it will not be digital or interactive TV, but mobile. To do this, you need to use the appropriate application installed on your device.

The cost of such television, for a full package of channels, will be three hundred rubles a month. To register in the application, the mobile MTS number will be used, from the balance of which the fee will be debited. In this case, you will not be able to use the offer from the “All MTS” package, since these are two separate services.

The digital TV offered by MTS is of high quality and characteristics. Find out what opportunities digital TV from MTS gives and how to set it up yourself.

Modern digital networks are not only the Internet or the transmission of purely service data. Anything can be broadcast today by using various technologies. The TCP / IP protocol is used today for telephony, the quality of which has risen to hitherto unprecedented heights. New, purely digital services have also appeared.

But the most common thing that is literally "heard" is the broadcast of television channels. MTS home digital TV is another type of such service from a major provider of mobile and cable communications.

The question of what is MTS home digital TV can be answered simply. This is a standard IPTV, simply organized at the same time as simple as possible for the end user and somewhat inconvenient for those who are used to “breaking everything” and using the service for other purposes. To understand the complexities and features, let's see briefly how everything works.

GPON technology. To provide an all-in-one service, the company is taking a new approach. A cable enters the apartment, through which a signal of the GPON format is broadcast. This technology can transmit everything at once through one cable by separating bands - telephony, IPTV from MTS, the Internet and other services. The apartment houses a prefix that divides the signal. From her go cables to a computer, TV, telephone.

The total throughput of 1 Gbit / s is achieved due to the fact that a fiber-optic channel enters the apartment. With today's technology, this digital abundance is easy enough to organize.

IPTV MTS. Digital broadcasting channels are broadcast as standard. However, MTS took an interesting path. IPTV MTS, broadcast using GPON technology, has a clear frequency range and looks more like cable TV. MTS does not have an IPTV playlist as such. But you can create it yourself or find on the Internet the results of the activities of craftsmen who scanned the entire "digital bandwidth" and pulled out a list of channels from it. You can already find all the basic IPTV playlist for the services offered by MTS itself.

The number of users who have already subscribed to the “home digital TV” service from MTS is already quite large. Moreover, the shaft of popularity is growing so quickly that the operator simply does not have time to connect subscribers. Most of the negative reviews are connected with this - the arrival of the staff who will connect and configure the new generation home TV will have to wait for a long time. Otherwise, the broadcast quality is excellent.

There are reviews that there are channel drawdowns - there are really a lot of users and, naturally, in some areas the bandwidth of networks for digital TV is not enough. This is expressed in a glitch of the image, when for a split second the picture becomes made "of squares" or the effect of a freeze frame is observed. However, problems arise very rarely, and even then - at certain hours of the day with peak user activity.

How is the setting done

If you order a digital TV connection, the staff of the company will do everything. Specialists:

  • will bring a fiber-optic line into the apartment,
  • connect a conversion prefix,
  • lead cables to the computer and TV.

However, you can do it yourself. The company made sure that it was easy to set up both a TV with a CAM module and a set-top box.

TV setup is carried out as follows. A digital tuner from the MTS company is inserted into the TV. After that, the setup is done in the same way as for cable TV channels. The fixed frequency range is indicated and the search is performed. The CAM module automatically creates its own IPTV playlist. It is possible, as for ordinary channels, to customize the sequence. After that, you need to disable auto-update of the list and the generated IPTV playlist will never change. In case the provider adds additional channels, IPTV MTS can be configured again.

Setting up a set-top box for all devices provided by the company is as simple as possible. The very first activation and search for channels causes a request to update the device firmware. With this procedure, the set-top box automatically receives everything at once - setup, IPTV playlist, pre-installation of services, and so on. If this does not happen, you can start the update manually. The process flow depends on the specific model of the set-top box. The MTS website has detailed instructions on how to configure the settings for all models supplied by the company. As the reviews say, there are no problems with the procedure.

Possibilities

The services and services provided by MTS within the “home digital TV” package are quite standard for television of this format.

  1. Multiple channel sets with the highest picture and sound quality. Available as free, included in the monthly fee (about 80 channels), and thematic sets of TV programs.
  2. A TV program and short announcements of programs are available for each broadcast.
  3. There is a "content to order" service. You can individually make a list - films, programs, series, which will be provided only to a specific user for a fee. You can watch them at any convenient time.
  4. Naturally, there is a weather forecast and some Internet services, exchange rates, for example.

As part of the "home digital TV" service, the provider gives a choice of:

  • CAM module. Designed for use in modern TVs with a CIA port. This is the simplest device that adds functionality to the TV.
  • Entry-level attachment (SD). The simplest decoder that allows you to connect any TV that has analog audio and video inputs (tulips).
  • HD device. These devices allow you to watch images in HDTV format and have “new generation” outputs. There is HDMI, SCART, RCA tulips and digital audio output.
  • High-end HD set-top box. All types of outputs are already presented here, recording of TV programs is available, there is an internal player.

Another device for a truly comprehensive solution is a router from MTS. It supports a wired Internet network, is equipped with an antenna for 3G, works with home TV, has a large Wi-Fi range, provides the ability to stream information encryption and is completely ready to work in MTS networks.

For DIYers

Naturally, the question arises - is it possible to watch IPTV MTS on a computer or use a different set-top box that the provider offers?

Can. For a computer, you will need an IPTV playlist found in the vastness of the network. It can be compiled on your own or using a simple search, manually modifying any playlist added to the playback program. This is a long and painstaking process, but effective. The same playlist can be used in set-top boxes that allow you to specify an IPTV playlist to form a list of channels.

It's even easier for those familiar with programming. An elementary script is written that scans the entire strip and selects the channels. You can filter out unnecessary ones and create a playlist with only those channels that you need. In short, home digital TV from MTS is suitable for self-tuning.

The company managed to create an offer that will suit absolutely everyone. Reviews indicate that there is a very convenient organization of the service, good channel indicators, a large range of equipment, within which you can choose the best option in terms of price / quality ratio. In addition, the broadcast technology is not complicated, you can watch TV programs on your computer or use third-party equipment.
