MTS TV is the name of a new operator that provides its customers with high-quality digital television and access to 3G and 4G internet. Broadcasting of channels is carried out thanks to the ABS2 satellite, located at 75 degrees east longitude.

The operation of the satellite is characterized by an extensive coverage area: Russia, Europe, countries former CIS, Africa, Middle East and Asia Pacific. Mobile TeleSystems cover more than 90 percent of the entire territory Russian Federation. The company provides full access to channels High Quality, which are currently more than 245. At the same time, most of them have the clarity of the HDTV format.

Attention! MTS TV appeared after the Raduga package left the market and promised to provide connection benefits to all subscribers of this package.

Television from Mobile TeleSystems is the excellent quality of all channels and access to high speed internet. The set of MTS satellite TV equipment includes a SIM card for 3G and 4G networks, so you can use the Internet only in the coverage areas of these networks. In case of insufficient signal level required by the receiver, an external antenna is connected for enhanced reception of 3G and 4G networks.

The receiver can act as a Wi-Fi router and distribute a signal to several connected gadgets.

In parallel with this, satellite TV from MTS provides the following services online:

  • weather;
  • list of public services;
  • popular social networks;
  • exchange rate, etc.

This is very convenient, because now, right in front of the TV, the client of the company can communicate via social media, pay the bills mobile phone and even enroll your baby in some kind of circle.

Also, satellite TV can be used as a multimedia device for viewing and listening to audio, video and photos. For the convenience of users, large catalogs with various interesting materials have been created.

Registration in the personal account of MTS satellite TV

Experts recommend creating a personal account (personal account) to control personal account, activation and deactivation of packages satellite television. In order to enter the personal account of satellite TV from MTS under the contract, the client is recommended to make a call to the number and ask for a connection with the satellite TV support service. Here the subscriber will be asked to provide personal passport data and number labor agreement. To confirm the success of the identification mobile number the subscriber will receive a notification with a password to enter the personal account.

Do-it-yourself MTS satellite dish installation

For good channel reception, the antenna must have a signal from the customer's windows. Since the satellite is in the southeast, the antenna is tuned in that direction. Do not forget that the trees high-rise buildings and buildings of similar size can significantly weaken the signal level. To avoid such problems, the signal from the subscriber's windows to the satellite is preliminarily measured.

If the windows face in the opposite direction, the antenna is mounted on the roof of the building. In this case, residents of high-rise buildings require permission from several authorities.

Instructions for self installation satellite TV from MTS claims that residents of private sectors can equally install the antenna both on the side facing the satellite and on the roof of the house.

Many users find it difficult to understand how to set up an MTS satellite dish. This procedure, indeed, requires certain knowledge with skills and includes several phased processes:

  • antenna rotation;
  • dish tilt;
  • convertor spread.

So, there is a task to hang a satellite dish on your own. It may seem to someone that only qualified craftsmen can do this task, in reality, installing a satellite dish at home is very simple task which everyone can handle. Of course, if this is not interesting, laziness, not your job, then it is better to go to the masters. But I had a passion, I had a plate, a transponder in my hands, and the problem was solved in about an hour. I tuned in to the ABS 2 75 satellite for the MTS TV operator ( Satellite MTS TV)

Before hanging a satellite dish, you need to make sure of several parameters:

  1. Which direction do your windows face?

    2. This important point. Often you have to abandon satellite television, because. the windows face the wrong way and signal reception is impossible. The fact is that all television satellites are in the so-called geostationary orbit. While there, they continuously orbit at the speed of the earth, although it seems to us that they are constantly in one place. If this were not the case, then our satellite dish would have to be constantly twisted in pursuit of the satellite. The geostationary orbit is located exactly above the equator, which means that our windows should look towards the equator, which means for Russia it is to the south. But even here there can be nuances. Each satellite in orbit has a clear position, a certain degree. For example, in Russia, Ukraine, Belarus - the most popular satellites are at 75, 56, 36, 19, 13, 5 degrees. And it may happen that your house is sideways and you calmly capture some satellites, but do not capture others. A simple example, my parents have windows facing west and they can easily catch all the satellites starting from 19 degrees and to the right (west). At my house, the windows are strictly to the south and I can receive all of the above satellites.

    If there is any doubt about where your windows face, then the easiest way to check this is to open the site http://www.dishpointer.com, put a dot on your window, select a satellite and see which way the beam will be directed. If you look into the courtyard, and not into your bedroom and nursery, then everything is in order.

  2. Are there any barriers along the way?

    3. Another problem is barriers. The already described geostationary orbit must be in line of sight. And those. on the way, she should not have nearby houses, trees, towers, pipes. If you live high, then most likely there will be no such problem. If you live on the ground floor, then there may be a problem.
    The picture shows the location of the two plates. The plate on the roof is lucky, as it is nearby standing house does not interfere with reception. The plate on the wall was unlucky twice - the house interferes with it and the Christmas trees interfere.

    A simple example, I live on the 3rd floor of a 5-storey building and the next such house starts 20 meters from me. If I lived on the 5th floor, I would not have known problems, even probably already on the 4th floor I would not have known problems, but on the 3rd floor the house standing in front of me is in the way. Yes, and if the house was not 20 meters away, but at least 50 meters, then I would not have known problems either. Therefore, although the windows overlook my courtyard and strictly to the SOUTH, there is a hindrance right in the center. Fortunately, the interference house stands at the end and takes up little space, and therefore I can catch satellites on the right and left, but not in the very center. Therefore, satellites 75 - I see (just what I need, because I set up on MTS TV), 56.36 and 19 - I don’t see, 13 and 5 - I see again. If I wanted to watch channels from the operator TRICOLOR or NTV +, then I would be out of luck, because. these operators work just at 36 and 56 degrees. But I'm watching the Rainbow satellite, and this is 75 degrees. And if, for example, it was the 60th degree, then I would not be able to watch it either - here I have a barrier in the form of a tree. So let's go higher.


    My personal example. A strip across the sky marks a geostationary orbit. Here you can clearly see that because of the house and the tree, I don’t see satellites at 36 and 56 for some fractions of centimeters, but I was lucky to see 75 and 13. If I lived one floor higher, I would see all the satellites.
  3. Complete set of tools

    4. Wrench, drills with a drill, bolts and nuts, washers. Check in advance what is included in your antenna box. me for example anchor bolt no one put it in the kit, and even more so a drill and drills. Check what and where you will be drilling, how many fastening tools you will need. Check the size of the holes on the mount to buy the correct bolt of the correct diameter. I also bought the wire separately. When buying a wire, make sure that it is a television coaxial wire with a resistance of 75 ohms

  4. Availability of a set of equipment

    5. You need the satellite dish itself and a wall mount - this is what is included in the kit. Next, you need a satellite converter - without it there will be no reception and of course a TV tuner (receiver). Some modern TVs have satellite receivers. If your TV has DVB-S or DVB-S2 support, then you may not need a separate receiver, since most operators already support working through such TVs using CAM modules.

  5. A few hours of free time

    6. Installation may not take very long. The master will certainly put everything quickly. It took me about an hour the first time. Long drilled, long hung. But the hour was spent only on the installation, the setting of the dish can be longer and then how lucky.

  6. Good weather

    7. Setting the dish in rain or frost is up to you, but for setting the dish I would recommend warm, cloudless weather. Clouds and precipitation interfere with the signal. When setting up, you need to line up the parameters as accurately as possible, and therefore it is best to do this in good weather.

  7. Optional equipment

    8. This item is optional, but recommended. By additional equipment, I mean such devices as a compass, satellite finder, a small TV. Why is all this necessary?

Now let's start the installation.

  1. We collect a plate. As a rule, the instructions are in the box and it is not difficult to assemble the plate. Fasten everything well so that nothing loosens over time. Remember that the wind is constantly blowing outside and it will regularly chatter your plate.
  2. We drill holes in the wall. To do this, you need to take the mount, attach it to the wall and make marks where we will make holes in the wall. It is very important that the mount be placed strictly along the horizon, strictly without deviations, strictly parallel to the ground, evenly. Use a level or plumb line for this. A strong deviation will not be terrible if you hang a dish for one satellite, but if in the future you have a desire to add a motor suspension to your dish, then even a deviation of 1 degree will be critical here.
  3. Getting the plate ready to hang. We fix the converter on the trunk. Here it is important to understand which satellite we plan to tune into, because. it depends on what angle we put our converter (talking about offset antennas). For example, for satellites at 36th-19th degrees, there are almost no deviations and they are fixed at 90 degrees (again, this is for those who live near Moscow), if we tune in to the satellite at 19th-5th degrees, then there may be slight deviations with the installation of the converter at a right angle and with a slight deviation to the right, the deviation may not really be large. And vice versa, if we tune in to the satellite from 36 degrees and to the east, then we turn the converter a little to the left.
  4. We fasten the mount to the wall and install a plate on it. After installation, we do not fix it tightly and direct it towards the alleged satellite, I tuned to the satellite 75 degrees, ABS satellites are located at this degree, the Raduga TV operator was broadcasting here earlier, now MTS TV is broadcasting on the new ABS-2.
  5. After we have fixed the dish, we can proceed to the signal search stage. I will describe the search process given that I have both a satellite finder and a small TV.
  6. We connect our satellite receiver and indicate in the settings the frequency by which we will search for TV channels. Since I am tuning to the ABS satellite at 75 degrees, in my opinion it is better to tune to the package from GTSS with the following parameters 12640 V 22000 ¾. There is a very strong signal on this frequency and there are 4 TV channels that are free to watch - it's good for tuning, looking for a channel that is definitely not encrypted. Frequencies for other packages can be found on the Internet, for example here http://www.satbeams.com/channels . On the screen of the receivers, in the window where the frequency is indicated, there are most often signal level indicators, and therefore, after specifying the frequency on the receiver, our eyes are directed precisely at these indicators and how they will change when we start spinning the plate. Since I additionally have a satellite finder, I also put it between the receiver and the converter in order to simplify my task and find the signal faster.
  7. Now that we have driven in the frequency on the receiver and connected everything, we can begin the process of rotating the dish. We have to find the signal, and for this we need to find two parameters: the direction along the horizon and the angle along the vertical. Personally, I use the following sequence: I fix the angle and then gradually turn the plate along the horizon to the right and left, if the signal is not found, then I change the angle literally by 2-3 degrees and start rotating again and do this until the signal is found.

  8. After the signal has been found, we try to set its maximum level, i.e. turn the plate so that we get the maximum possible value on the indicators in the console. After we received it, we firmly fix the plate on the mount. Please note that when fixing the dish - the signal may be slightly reduced to worse indicators, and therefore, when fixing, follow the signal indicators.

In order to independently, without any practical knowledge, assemble and install a set of satellite television at home, you need to follow a certain step-by-step sequence of work.

Let's take a look at the main points to consider Special attention when assembling the plate, wiring diagrams, and also focus on common mistakes made by inexperienced installers.

Mounting materials

Let's start with necessary materials. For assembly you will need:


Without them, if you have several heads, you will get such a Christmas tree.







It will be required if you want to simultaneously connect several TVs from one dish.

Converters

To begin with, it is worth considering the converters themselves in more detail.

They differ in polarization. There are models:

  • with linear polarization (vertical and horizontal)
  • circular polarized

With circular, they are used to receive Tricolor TV and NTV + channels from a satellite of 36 degrees. To receive MTS and Telecard, you will need a Ku band with linear polarization.

You can tell them apart by their markings. On the left in the figure is circular, on the right is linear.

They may also have different amount outputs:





The converter itself consists of three main elements:

  • irradiator
  • waveguide
  • the electronic unit

Under the cover of the irradiator, you can see a dielectric plate. Its presence indicates that this is a circular polarization converter.

That is, it can be used to receive Tricolor and NTV Plus channels. To turn such a converter into a linear one, to search for other satellites, it is enough to pull out and remove the plate.

By the way, the loss or deterioration of the signal can sometimes be associated with damage to this record. Due to temperature fluctuations in the street, it gradually collapses and crumbles.

Special converters for multiswitches have 4 outputs.

However, they are not all equal. One with vertical, the other with horizontal polarization. Plus two subranges - upper and lower. This is important when connecting cables via a multiswitch.

Multiswitch connection diagrams

The multiswitch itself must be selected depending on the number of cables and TVs in your home. The wiring diagrams for the most popular satellites are as follows:





If you also have a regular TV antenna, then the multiswitch must have a TerrTV input.

Scheme of connection via the multiswitch of the ABS-2A satellite for receiving a package of channels from MTS:

Keep in mind, when using a multiswitch, dysik = Diseqc is no longer needed.

Assembly satellite dish

From the assembly tool, a pair of open-end wrenches for 10 and 13 is usually enough, plus a Phillips screwdriver. For fastening to the wall, you will need a puncher and anchor bolts.

When you have decided on the package, first of all, you need to correctly assemble the plate itself. There are several nuances here.

So, for example, when assembling the traverse, please note that the transverse bar, which is attached to the plate mirror itself, should be superimposed exactly on top of it.

If you screw it on the other side, and this is physically possible, then:

  • firstly, you will have poor hole alignment
  • secondly, the opposite end of the traverse, where the heads cling, will go out of focus

As a result, it will initially be difficult to catch at least some signal. In addition, the mount that goes to the bracket, when setting up satellites above the horizon (relative to your geographical location), should cling with the adjustable part down.

And for satellites below the horizon - on the contrary, the adjustable part is up.

Since in this case, you will no longer need to raise, but lower the mirror.

How to collect multifeed

The assembly of a multifeed is also associated with some features. In a collapsible kit, initially there are two unequal "ears". One is more, the other is less.

A small one is put on a tube assembled with plastic.

A large one is attached to the central traverse. In this case, both ears can be positioned relative to each other in two different ways.

On the same level or in different planes. Most installers are located in the same plane.

Although if you do the opposite, it will make it easier to complete the very initial setup of the satellite dish and save time when searching for additional side satellites.

The assembled heads will be on different levels, one above, one below.

Actually, as the satellites themselves fly along the horizon.

But this is of course true if your converters catch three different satellites. When two heads catch one satellite, for example Eutelsat 36E, but with different software packages, then place them in the same plane.

But the third head, mount as described above. The gap between the converters also depends on the diameter of the mirror. The smaller its size, the closer the heads will be located relative to each other.

After the bar is screwed, try to set the head at least by eye so that the central axis of the plastic (where the two halves of the casting meet), and this very attachment to the traverse, are at an angle of 90 degrees. Further, everything will be regulated relative to this initial position.

The order of alternation of multifeeds also matters. The first and closest to the dish should be the multifeed, the position of the satellite of which is closer to your place of residence.

For example, if you live above 40 degrees, then Eutelsat 36.0E should go on your plate first, then Hotbird 13E, and the last Astra 5.0E. The same is true for other satellites.

After fixing the dish on the wall or roof, run from this place to the tuner or switch coaxial cables.

You sign each end from which head it comes from.

If you have a dysec, there will be only one output cable.

F connector connection

To connect coaxial cables, they need to be stripped and put on F-connectors. This can be done in two ways.

1st method - cut off with a knife only the outer sheath of the cable at a distance of 20-25mm. The screen cannot be damaged.

All the wires are carefully bent onto the shell.

Now you need to remove the insulation from central vein. It should protrude from the screen by a maximum of 2mm.

After that, screw on the F connector.

Shorten the excess stock of the central core, leaving no more than 5 mm from the connector plane.

The 2nd way is easier. Again, take a clerical knife. Step back about 1 cm from the edge of the cable and cut off all the insulation. Including external and internal, up to the central core.

Then, stepping back 3mm, cut off only the outer braid.

Make sure that no fibers or wires get between the braid and the central core.

There is no need to remove the insulation and bend anything. Just insert and screw on the f connector from above.

Next, you do the cabling around the apartment in all the rooms where you have TVs. You also sign all of them.

At the same time, it is much more reliable to run the cable directly into the device, and not connect it through a satellite TV outlet. This can be associated with both a loss of quality and a general loss of the signal.

The wiring diagram when using a multiswitch may look like this:

Connecting Diseqc

If there is only a daisik, the connection and configuration of satellites is carried out in the following sequence.

Remember that any self-respecting store of satellite equipment and similar systems always sells tuners already programmed for certain channels and satellites. Otherwise, competitors will simply survive from the market.

At the same time, when buying, be sure to ask the seller to write you the ports of the Diseqc switch, since they were set by him during the settings. It is through these ports that you will have to make all cable connections.

When mounting, you first connect the cables to the heads, and then run them to the dysik. Just the same on it, it is advisable to connect everything initially with the “factory” tuner settings.

If you have any satellite in the receiver configured on the first port, accordingly, do not let it go to port number 1. If on the second, then port No. 2 is also used in the switch, etc.

All input ports are always signed. The central single connector is the output to the tuner itself.

Search for satellite and channels

Setting up and searching for a satellite can be done without sophisticated devices using the receiver itself.

True, you will have to drag the tuner itself + some small TV to the roof.

Unless, of course, you will install a motor suspension.

Another setup is done by two people. One person on the roof is moving the plate, the other cell phone controls the TV signal at home.

If you are not satisfied with either one or the second option, you can buy a cheap portable device from the Chinese for tuning and analyzing a satellite signal - or here.

Then the setup will not be difficult at all. By the way, it will come in handy in the future, if after strong wind your signal will deteriorate or you will want to add a satellite over time, or maybe even change heads. Set up satellites with MTS and Tricolor, instead of Amos, Astra, etc.

Start tuning from the center head. Initially, set the plate with a slight rise to the horizon. In order to orient in the direction, look at the nearest neighbors.

In our time, you will clearly not be a pioneer, and finding a pair of three tuned cymbals will not be difficult. Sometimes there are so many of them that they interfere with each other.

IN last resort you can use the programs on smartphones - Satellite Director or SatFinder.

Install the program, run it and start turning the smartphone around different directions looking for the right companion. The coordinates of most of them are already loaded into the program and you don’t need to look for anything.

An icon marked with a circle or a cross will show the correct direction for the satellite dish. Check it out for him.

Turn on the tuner, select a satellite from the central converter and look for at least some signal from this head. The search is performed by raising, lowering and turning the antenna itself.

The signal quality is indicated as a percentage scale and is located at the bottom of the screen. You need to achieve the maximum possible value.

To do this, very, very slowly begin to turn the plate in different directions. The mirror itself cannot be closed at the same time.

If there is no signal, or if it is of very poor quality, the dish will lower slightly. Further, the process of reversal to the sides is repeated. As soon as the signal was received in height good quality, the plate is pre-fixed vertically.

After that, again, you can twist it around to the right and left to find the highest possible quality. There will never be 100%, just look for the highest possible figure - 68-75%, etc.

Finding best position, finally clamp the rotary mechanism to the right and left. Just do not immediately completely tighten one bolt at a time, otherwise the plate will be taken to the side by a couple of degrees. Tighten the nuts evenly, as on the wheels of a car or engine head.

When the corners are all set, it is necessary to again adjust the entire structure in height. After loosening the fasteners, you begin to raise or lower it vertically, all the while controlling the signal.

Remember that the maximum is always searched for by dropping down.

What is it for and what does it give? In the process of long-term operation under the weight of snow, wind, rain, the dish will still go down a little, worsening the signal.

You also need to expose it as if in a stretch. This will keep the signal quality for a long time.

Keep in mind that the plate must initially be fixed to the wall or roof exactly in level.

If this is not observed, then having found the maximum of the signal horizontally, you will start looking for max vertically. And in the process of doing this, the horizontal position will go away. You will have to adjust the horizontal-vertical several times.

Then proceed to the next stage of setup - scrolling around its axis of the central converter clockwise or counterclockwise. Here you can also achieve a signal improvement of several percent.

Thus, you have set up the cymbal itself and the central head. Let's move on to setting up side converters from other satellites.

Switch the tuner to the next satellite and call its information line. Thanks to the multifeed, the converter of this satellite can also be rotated up and down, zoomed in or out of the dish.

As well as with the middle head, first look for the maximum on the vertical, and then move the side converter closer or further away from the center one. At the end of the settings, rotate it around the axis.

When tuning satellites from the side converters, pay close attention to where you stand in relation to the dish. On the side heads, the signal from the satellite enters the center of the mirror and, as in billiards, is reflected on the converter.

So, in order not to block this signal with your body, you should be located on the nearest side of the adjustable head, and not on the opposite side.


After searching and setting up a satellite from all three converters, the process can be considered completed. Hide and seal the daisy from rain and precipitation, and securely fasten the satellite cables with cable ties so that they do not dangle in the wind.

Installation and connection errors

1 Incorrect crosshead assembly

At the very beginning, make no mistake with the fasteners of the traverse to accommodate the converters. It should be installed under the bracket, not on top of it.

Otherwise, there will be big problems with finding a signal even on the central head. It will be the wrong focus that will be to blame.

2 Using feed-through sockets

Pass-through sockets are the first enemy of satellite TV. From such devices, there may not be a signal at all.

Therefore, only terminal ones can be used. Often they are paired with television.

3 Splitters

They can only be used for analog television. Satellite TV should not have any splitters. The fact is that the broadcast of channels usually occurs on two polarizations.

And the splitter is not able to simultaneously pass them through itself. As a result, some channels on some TV will simply be absent.

4 Large number of connections

Any connection is a loss of signal quality, including seemingly convenient sockets.

Make sure that there are no connections in places of high humidity - attics. In bad weather, the signal will generally disappear because of this.

5 Cheap cable

Do not buy a Chinese cable of dubious production. Almost half of the level of the signal that comes from the dish to the receiver can depend on the quality of the cable.

6 Wrong insulation Diseqc

Never wrap dysek in plastic bag. Even if this saves you from direct raindrops, condensation will still form inside over time.

And it is he who will cause the failure of the switch, which necessarily requires ventilation and communication with air. The easiest and cheapest option is empty plastic bottle also doesn't help much.

Therefore, it is best to place a waterproof box next to the plate and install the switch in it.

7 F-connector isolation

Also, do not tape the F connectors. Such insulation does not help much against rust, and only worsens the situation, since sooner or later moisture still penetrates under the electrical tape.

And instead of gradually evaporating or rolling off the surface of the connector, it lingers on it and accelerates the corrosion process several times. Also remember to put an insulating cap on the free Diseqc port.

High technologies are advancing by leaps and bounds, and denying yourself some innovative benefits is stupid, even if you plan to spend your leisure time somewhere in the countryside silence (and in most cases, the wilderness). you won’t surprise anyone on a wooden house, so connoisseurs of high-quality TV can only decide on a provider that will serve your “dish”.

In the market of this kind of services, there is a serious struggle for each client, which allows an ordinary user to make his own (albeit not rich) choice in favor of one or another service provider. MTS satellite TV channels were among the first to start their work, which gave a significant advantage over other members of the Big Three. Moreover, in addition to the usual viewing of television channels, a considerable functional range is available to the subscriber.

Let's try to figure out what MTS satellite TV is like: tariffs, functionality, services, prices and reviews of ordinary users along with expert opinions.

Coating

Television broadcasting is spacecraft in near orbit (satellite ABS-2). The point of standing of the device is located approximately above the center of Eurasia, which makes satellite television channels available almost throughout Russia - from Kaliningrad to Vladivostok. This is one of the significant advantages of the company, while other market participants have devices that are displaced to the eastern or western part of the continent, which do not allow confident reception of a signal in some regions.

interactivity

One of the main advantages that MTS satellite TV has (user reviews mention this advantage more than once) is interactivity. This is the first time the company has offered such a service on the TV market: “smart” set-top boxes are used to receive the signal, which combine the support of several services (satellite, mobile and fixed communications).

A convenient proprietary interface from MTS allows you to control directly from the TV screen interactive program gear, see exchange rates, read news feeds, and even get information about traffic jams in your city.

Moreover, all the additional features that are included in the MTS are very well developed. For example, the weather widget popular with many users is displayed as a small insert on the screen, but if you need detailed overview, available detailed information a week ahead. It is possible to customize the widget exactly to your needs and requests: cloudiness, precipitation, wind, pressure, humidity, sunset, sunrise, and more.

Other services can be configured in the same way. For example, it is possible to complete the news widget by category and importance of events, and view exchange rate changes in real time on a dynamic chart. And this is only a small part of the advantages for which the owners have already fallen in love with MTS satellite TV. User reviews about the interactive capabilities of the set-top box are extremely positive, so there is simply nothing to complain about on this item.

Functionality

It is also worth noting the extended functionality that is available during TV broadcasts. In addition to the standard assistant (which is broadcast in this moment and after), the service additionally helps the user to navigate the channel names, genres, find something by keywords, etc. If you are interested in a specific topic, you can pre-form your playlist on all channels by keywords (Settings satellite channels-> Lists -> Add to playlist -> Search by keyword), which is very convenient.

Another convenient and extremely useful feature is sorting programs by time and subject. You can also find out details about the films being broadcast: cast, release date, budget, number of Oscars, etc. That is, the setting of satellite channels will occur according to your filters. You can group broadcasts alphabetically or give out channels only with the participation of an actor.

It is also possible to set a reminder of your favorite show. Moreover, the response will not only be on your TV, but will also come in the form of a short message to your phone or email, that is, by user-specified contacts. This is an extremely useful feature that MTS satellite TV provides for free. Reviews about the reminder service are not always positive: some subscribers sometimes complain about late messages, but we hope that the company will correct this service in the future.

Parental control

An extremely important feature if you have children in your home. The service limits the display of TV programs in accordance with the established censor, and the category of channels is determined automatically. If desired, you can protect all unwanted channels for children with a PIN code.

In order to get all the features that the Parental Control service provides, you need to log in to your personal account and then set up filters for viewing. There is also an additional SMS interface that allows you to work with the service via phone.

OTT service

This functionality deserves special mention. With the help of the "Repeat-TV" service, the user can easily view archived films and TV shows that were previously broadcast. You can also pause or rewind the “live broadcast”, but for this you need an external drive like a USB flash drive or an external hard drive, which can be connected via a USB connector, having previously configured MTS satellite TV for this service.

MTS satellite equipment - a good choice for owners country houses, dachas, apartments in Moscow and the region, but the installation of equipment is possible under several conditions:

  • Visibility of the south-east direction in the place of the proposed installation (window, roof, wall).
  • The absence of interference in the signal path (trees, high-rise buildings and buildings).
  • The possibility of laying cables around the apartment or house to connect the antenna to the set-top box / TV.

Often the repair has already been done and the task is to connect the kit to an existing cable network. If the installation is carried out in the apartment, but during the repair the cables were not brought out to the window, the problem is solved by installing an antenna on the roof. The connection to the customer's cable network takes place on the floor. In a private house, finding a solution is easier. The antenna can be installed on the roof or on the wall. Connection to the network occurs through ventilation shafts or embedded pipes.

When the windows in the apartment do not go in the right direction, the plate is mounted on the roof of the building. But coordination with DEZ or UK is required. The cost of installing an MTS TV satellite dish is increasing, as a cable is added and work on its laying is added.

Satellite set-top boxes

The choice of recommended MTS TV set-top boxes is not yet large, but the operator will gradually increase their range. The operator uses the IRDETO coding system. Channels can also be viewed on non-recommended receivers that support IRDETO encoding, the CI + standard.

Connecting MTS TV equipment to several TVs

Satellite TV can be connected to one or more TVs. The composition of the equipment in each version is different. When installing the system on a large number of TVs, an equivalent number of set-top boxes are bought. The subscription fee is increasing.

The operator's channels are broadcast in one vertical polarization, which reduces the cost of distribution equipment. Satellite splitters are used to split the signal, multiswitches and converters with multiple outputs are not required.

There is also a "dependent" way to connect MTS TV: view the same image on multiple screens. Suitable for public places like hotel lobbies, cafes, bars, restaurants where TV is used as a background, all screens show the same image. The subscription fee is paid for one receiver, the equipment is cheaper. Principle of operation: a signal is taken from the MTS set-top box (using the RF output in the receiver or an external modulator) and distributed to other TVs. Program switching is controlled by a radio remote control.

Television works on 60cm antennas. If the system is installed on a large number of TVs, we recommend using 80-90cm antennas. This will allow you to achieve stable, confident reception in bad weather. The choice of antennas is great: domestic and imported. Foreign antennas are better, the gain is better, the service life is longer. For example, WISI and GIBERTINI.

Interactive service from MTS

The interactive service works only when an interactive set-top box is connected.
