When will the second multiplex be launched. How to set up DVB-T2 digital television Digital TV when the multiplex 2 chilikov is turned on

The center for consulting support of the population on the issues of connecting digital terrestrial television often receives questions from viewers about the timing of connecting the second multiplex in the south of the Tyumen region.

The Ural-Siberian Regional Center draws the attention of viewers to the fact that RTRS was forced to put a number of already built objects of the second multiplex network into standby mode in connection with the request of the broadcasters. At the initiative of the TV channels included in the second multiplex and the Ministry of Telecom and Mass Communications of the Russian Federation, adjustments were made to the order of commissioning of broadcasting facilities for the RTRS-2 package of digital TV channels. It is assumed that until 2018 RTRS will launch transmitters of the second multiplex in cities with a population of more than 50 thousand people. And after 2018, other facilities will be included. The decision to put into operation each transmitter of the second multiplex in a particular locality is taken directly by the broadcasters, i.e. by the owners of the TV channels that are part of the multiplex, and is only performed by RTRS affiliates.

The broadcast of the RTRS-2 package has been temporarily suspended at the following venues: Armizonskoye, Aromashevo, Berdyuzhye, Bunkovo, Vikulovo, Zavodoukovsk, Kolesnikovo, Malinovka, Novoberezovka, Shabanovo, Bolshoye Sorokino, Abatskoye, Vagay (Ulyanovka), Isetskoye, Kazanskoye, Krotovo, Nagorny, Nizhnyaya Tavda, Novoaleksandrovka, Sladkovo, Black, Yurginskoye, Yalutorovsk, Yarkovo. Information about the resumption of broadcasting of the second multiplex will be announced later.

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 in TV channels to old models of TVs, in which, as a result of leaving the parameters of the circuits, 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 the new DVB-T2 digital terrestrial television system, which is adopted as a standard. TVs and set-top boxes released with a DVB-T tuner do not allow you to watch TV programs will not work in the new television broadcasting system.

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

How many channels does the digital set-top box show essential TV DVB-T 2?
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

V 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 with a frequency of 562 kHz are the only opportunity for free viewing of 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, one 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.

Digital television in the Moscow region dvb-t2 coverage area 2019

The coverage area of the Moscow Region with DVB-T2 digital television will soon reach 100%. To ensure this, reconstruction or construction of new relay stations is being carried out. About thirty of these objects receive from the TV tower, amplify and transmit a television signal, providing coverage of the Moscow region with an on-air digital signal.

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 configure - by turning on the automatic search for 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.

When will 20 channels be launched in your locality?

At the end of December 2018, RTRS solemnly announced the launch of the second multiplex at all transmission towers in Russia. This means that 20 digital channels are available for viewing on 99% of the territory of the Russian Federation. Also planned for 2019. The first shutdown phase is scheduled for February, six regions will be shut down in the middle of the month. TV broadcasting in them will remain only in the digital format DVB-T2.

If you have only 10 channels

If your TV or set-top box shows only 10 channels, you should first start auto-search for channels or search manually. You can find the frequencies of the transmitting towers and their location on the map of digital television.

If the channel search did not give the desired result, then most likely you have problems with the antenna, cable or contacts. In a number of regions, the frequencies of the first and second multiplex differ significantly. For example, in Samara, the first ten channels are broadcast at a frequency of 522 MHz, and the second at 762 MHz. Despite the fact that the transmitters are of the same power, a higher frequency requires reliable contacts, is sensitive to the quality of the cable. Higher frequency waves do not so well bend around obstacles in the signal path and if the tower is not in line of sight, then it is likely that the antenna will need to be raised or relocated.

We also draw your attention to the fact that some antennas have an uneven gain within the received range and most often the gain drops with increasing frequency. If your area is broadcasting at high frequencies, we recommend using a wave channel antenna. You can read more about the types of antennas in the article.

So, if you are interested in the topic of digital terrestrial television, then most likely you want to know what channels you will receive if you connect it to yourself. I'm right? Then read on) maybe you don’t need it?

What are digital TV multiplexes

Today in Russia DVB T2 format broadcast 20 channels. They are divided into two packages, these are the so-called multiplexes. Both packages are free to watch, there is no subscription fee. It is enough just to have a TV that receives a DVB T2 signal and.

That's what the "figure" broadcasts in Russia

First ten channels (First multiplex)

The first package, or the first multiplex, is general information, news and development channels (boring things). Here is a list of digital television channels of the first multiplex:

First channel
Russia 1
Russia 2 Match TV - a channel with sports broadcasts
Channel Five
Russia "Culture"
Russia 24
Carousel - children's channel, cartoons, programs for children
OTR - Public Television of Russia

The first multiplex operates wherever there is digital television.

I knowingly wrote the time of publication of the article. The fact is that sometimes the composition of the channels changes on the basis of a competition that is held by the state every year. So things may change in 2016.

Just recently, a replacement took place in the second multiplex and "Sport +" was replaced with the entertainment channel "Friday" ... Also, the channel "Russia - 2" in the first multiplex was replaced by Match TV.

Third package of channels (Third multiplex)

And yet, they promise a third multiplex, but it will already be with a subscription fee. So I don't think it will be wildly popular. Since, as soon as the on-air "figure" becomes paid, it will be easier to stretch a cable with 40+ channels for 120 rubles. per month.

And here is what they write on the project about this:

It is too early to talk about the exact date of the start of broadcasting of the third (regional) multiplex. To begin with, principles for the formation of a regional multiplex at the government level should be determined, after which competitions will be organized to determine the channels participating in the third multiplex. Only after the composition of the third digital package becomes known, RTRS will be able to start broadcasting it. It should be noted that this fall, the Government Commission for the Development of Television and Radio Broadcasting postponed consideration of the issue of the principles for the formation of the third multiplex until 2018.

First digital multiplex (RTRS-1)

The first digital multiplex or the first package of digital channels of the Russian television and radio broadcasting network (RTRS-1) is a package of all-Russian, publicly available and free for the population television and radio resources.

The list of all-Russian channels that should be available throughout the country was approved by the Decree of the President of Russia "On All-Russian Mandatory Public Television and Radio Channels" on June 24, 2009. The decree notes that the list of channels was compiled to preserve the common information space of Russia, as well as to provide citizens of the country with socially significant information. The law emphasizes that all radio and TV channels from this list should be available to all Russians absolutely free of charge.

The State Commission on Radio Frequencies approved in 2009 the frequency-territorial plan RTRS-1. Broadcasting of the digital package in Russia is carried out in the decimeter range from 470 to 862 MHz.

In 2012, the Russian government determined that the optimal standard for broadcasting the RTRS-1 digital package is DVB-T2, the format is standard definition SDTV. It should be noted that before 2012, some regions had already been transferred to digital broadcasting, but in a different format. As a result, it was decided to transfer all subjects of Russia under one DVB-T2 standard.

The terrestrial digital package is broadcast free of charge, it cannot be encrypted, because the multiplex must be accessible to everyone.

For commercial or non-terrestrial broadcasting, the concept of RTRS-1 is not defined, however, the law states that all operators are obliged, at their own expense, to broadcast in their networks of public channels without making changes to them.

In Moscow, the first multiplex is broadcast on 30 TV channels at a frequency of 546 MHz in the DVB-T2 standard.

The second multiplex of digital television in Russia (RTRS-2)

The second digital multiplex or the second package of digital channels of the Russian Television and Radio Broadcasting Network (RTRS-2) is the next package of all-Russian, but not mandatory, digital TV channels. The list of channels of the second package was compiled based on the results of the Roskomnadzor competition. If the TV resources of the first RTRS-1 are obligatory for distribution in all networks free of charge, then commercial operators decide on their own whether to distribute the second package for free.

In 2009, the State Commission on Radio Frequencies assigned the decimeter range from 470 to 862 MHz to the second digital TV package. Broadcasting is carried out by FSUE RTRS, standard - DVB-T2, format - standard definition SDTV.

The second multiplex, like the first one, is distributed free of charge and also its signal is not encrypted. All channels of the second package are known to subscribers of satellite, cable and IP-television. Channels did not receive special advantages when they were included in the RTRS-2 list, since these resources are not mandatory. In addition, analogue broadcasting of most of these resources is already on the air of large cities. Operators provide subscribers with access to these channels in the cheapest subscription package or free of charge.

In Moscow, the second multiplex is broadcast on 24 TV channels at a frequency of 498 MHz in the DVB-T2 standard.

The third multiplex of digital television in Russia

The third digital multiplex is only a planned package, which will include federal and regional TV channels. The decree on the formation of RTRS-3 was signed by the President of Russia in 2013.

Currently the Ministry of Telecom and Mass Communications of the Russian Federation.
