Review of satellite TV from MTS


There are many providers on the Russian market that provide satellite TV services, so subscribers have a lot to choose from. Consequently, in order to be competitive and gain a significant client base, MTS will have to interest a potential client with something. What exactly does the consumer pay attention to when choosing a service? That's right, the ratio of quality and price.

As for the quality, here MTS satellite TV is hardly the leader in this niche at the moment. On the other hand, the provider attracts the attention of the consumer with its prices. Various promotions are regularly held that allow you to purchase a starter kit at an attractive price... So, for example, at the time of this writing, it was possible to buy MTS satellite TV for only 2990 rubles, while an annual subscription for more than 140 channels is provided free of charge. No other provider makes similar offers. However, this is not yet a reason to make an unambiguous choice in favor of MTS. First, you should study all the conditions and nuances of this offer.

Benefits of satellite TV from MTS

Of course, the number of users of satellite TV from MTS regularly increases for a reason, and there are good reasons for this. Of course, there are no shortcomings at all here, as always, and we will talk about them later, but for now we will consider the positive aspects.

Satellite TV MTS is characterized by the following advantages:

  • Access to over 190 channels, including 35 in HD;
  • Low cost of a starter set of equipment (you can buy for a promotion with a good discount);
  • Possibility to connect almost anywhere in the country;
  • The ability to pause the broadcast, record or rewind;
  • Interactive services (TV program, weather forecast, news, etc.);
  • Function "Parental Control".

The advantages also include simplicity and speed of connection. In principle, if you wish, you can do without a wizard and independently install and configure MTS satellite TV. We will tell you how to do this below. Speaking about the advantages, it is worth paying special attention to the cost of the starter kit and the subscription fee. In order to increase the client base, MTS regularly holds various promotions, within the framework of which one can significantly save on the purchase of satellite television and subscription fees. We will return to the financial issue later, but now let's talk about the shortcomings, unfortunately, we couldn't do without them.

Disadvantages of satellite TV from MTS

The MTS company knows how to make beautiful advertising of its products. If you have already used the services of this operator, then you will know that the promises are always true. The provider focuses solely on the advantages, while carefully hiding all possible disadvantages, which are always there. Satellite TV MTS is no exception to the rule, and here, too, there were some pitfalls.

Satellite TV MTS is characterized by the following disadvantages:

  • Periodic failures with the broadcast signal;
  • Poor customer support;
  • The attachment gets very hot;
  • The prefix turns on for a long time;
  • Many channels are duplicated with a time difference (+2, +4, +6).

It is also worth adding that many users complain that after connecting, various attempts by the operator begin to dissolve for money. For example, a client is lured with some interesting promotion (no monthly fee or a discount on a starter kit), and then it turns out that he cannot take advantage of this promotion for certain reasons. However, such situations usually arise due to the fact that the subscriber has not carefully studied the terms of service.

Perhaps the most important real drawbacks of satellite TV from MTS are poor support service and failures with the broadcast signal. Not only is it sometimes very problematic to call the help center, but also there is no guarantee that you will receive a detailed answer to your question. Very often there are specialists whose qualifications leave much to be desired. Failures with the broadcast signal do deserve a separate topic of conversation. These are not just reviews of dissatisfied customers, but a real fact. We have personally tested MTS satellite TV for several months and have seen intermittent crashes, especially in bad weather. Perhaps this is due to the fact that MTS is relatively recent in this market and in the near future the satellite problem will be resolved.

How much will satellite TV from MTS cost


So, we figured out the advantages and disadvantages of satellite television from MTS. Basically, if you are used to doing without the help of the support service and you are not afraid of possible failures with the broadcast signal in bad weather, then in general this is a good option. If we compare MTS satellite TV with offers from other providers, this is the cheapest option so far. True, it is only because of regular promotions. Again, I heard about another promotion in advertising, do not rush to use it, first, study it more and more carefully. As for the pricing policy, it changes regularly. Consider the prices and promotions that are relevant in 2018.

Prices for satellite TV from MTS:

  • The cost of a set with a prefix, antenna and accessories is 8240 rubles (for a promotion, 2990 rubles);
  • Basic set of channels - 1200 rubles per year (140 rubles per month);
  • "Adult" package - 150 rubles per month (4 channels);
  • Package "Children" - 50 rubles per month (6 channels);
  • Basic package - 150 rubles per month (4 channels);
  • “Our Football” package - 219 rubles per month (1 channel);
  • Cinema Tuning package - 319 rubles per month (5 channels).

We have not listed all packages. A complete list of packages and their cost can be found on the official website of the provider... In principle, if you do not take into account the shares, the prices will be almost the same as those of other providers. For example, a tricolor has a stronger signal, more channels and the same subscription fee. However, the starter kit will cost you more. So far, MTS lures customers with just shares. At the time of this writing, the promotions "Smart Sputnik" (no monthly fee for subscribers with tariffs of the smart line) and "Satellite TV is no longer a luxury" (starter kit for 2990 rubles) were available. Over time, these shares will go into the archive and may be replaced by new ones.... If you decide to take advantage of the promotional offer, do not naively believe the advertising, be sure to study the conditions. As a rule, they are written in small print.

How to connect and configure satellite TV MTS


If you have weighed all the pros and cons of satellite TV from MTS and have already decided to purchase the necessary equipment, then there is little to do. If you have the opportunity, you can contact a specialist who will install and configure satellite television. The MTS company does not provide such a wizard, but it will not be difficult to find it, for example, through Internet bulletin boards. WITH The cost of this service will differ depending on the region (1000-2000 rubles). However, if you wish, you can do everything yourself. Don't worry, you won't need any expensive equipment. You can find the corresponding instructions below, but for now we will consider how and where you can buy satellite TV.

You can connect MTS satellite TV in the following ways:

  1. In any MTS communication salon;
  2. On the website http://sputnik.mts.ru;
  3. By calling 8 800 250 0890.

It is unlikely that it will be possible to receive a set of satellite television on the same day. You will have to wait a while (1-2 weeks). As a rule, the equipment is delivered free of charge to the specified address. As soon as you receive your order, you can proceed with the installation.

  • Important

  • In the Kamchatka Territory and Chukotka AO, the Satellite TV service is not provided.

Assembly and installation of a satellite TV antenna from MTS

Of course, you will not receive the equipment assembled. A box will be delivered to you, which will contain everything you need to connect to satellite TV and the corresponding instructions. Before you start tuning and searching for channels, you need to assemble the antenna and install it in a suitable place. Satellite TV MTS works from the satellite ABS 2 - 75 E, to which you have to direct the antenna... It is unlikely that this tells you anything. To determine the location of this satellite and, accordingly, the direction of the dish, install the free SatFinder application on your phone (available in the AppStore or Play Market). It will show the location of the satellite in relation to your home and you can easily determine in which direction to put the antenna. We will tell you more about how to use and configure this application below.

Before proceeding with the installation of the antenna and its tuning, it is necessary to assemble it. The corresponding instruction is included in the kit. There is no need to tighten the fastening to the wall bracket and the cymbal angle adjustment nuts, otherwise you will not be able to search for the signal. The bracket, consisting of two parts, assemble separately and do not attach to the antenna itself, it will need to be carefully fixed to the wall using dowels. Then "put" the antenna on the bracket, slightly tighten the nuts on the fasteners and adjust the angle of the mirror as vertically as possible. Next, you need to strip the cable and install the F-connectors on it. One end of the cable connects to the set-top box, the other to the antenna. In principle, there should be no questions about the installation, since the kit includes a fairly accessible instruction with a clear diagram of the assembly and installation of the antenna. Let's move on to the main question.

Setting up satellite TV from MTS


There are quite a few instructions on the Internet for self-tuning MTS satellite television, but most of them describe only the theoretical part. In practice, however, there are many questions that have no answers. We will try to correct the situation and provide you with the most complete step-by-step guide on setting up satellite TV from MTS. Our instruction is not just another retelling, but personal experience. We have had occasion to install and configure MTS satellite TV several times, so our instructions will most likely help you. If you have any difficulties, ask your questions in the comments.

To set up MTS satellite TV, follow these steps:

  1. Determine the location of the satellite relative to your home. To find the optimal location for installing the antenna, you need to know where the ABS 2 - 75 E satellite is located. You do not need to have any special equipment for this. Install the "SatFinder" application on your phone (available in the AppStore or Play Market). Turn on geodata transfer for GPS connection. Launch the SatFinder application, click on the search icon and select the ABS satellite 2 - 75 E. Next, click on the three dots in the upper right corner and select show AR. Now search for a satellite (the circle should be at the intersection of the two lines and turn green.
  2. Antenna installation. When the location of the satellite in relation to your home is determined, you can start installing the antenna. We described above how to assemble the antenna, besides, the kit will definitely include a detailed diagram. You do not need to immediately try to put the dish exactly on the satellite and tighten the bolts tightly. You do not need to tighten the cymbal angle adjustment nuts, otherwise you will not be able to search for the signal.
  3. Signal search. Antenna tuning is performed according to three indicators: antenna rotation, antenna tilt and converter rotation. We have already said that you can find the desired satellite using the SatFinder application. Unfortunately, if you are guided exclusively by this application, you will not be able to configure anything. The application allows you to find the approximate location of the satellite, but we need to catch the most accurate signal. This will take a little tinkering. So, if the antenna is already installed, connect it to the set-top box, turn on the TV and select the "Settings" section in the set-top box menu, then open the "Antenna settings" section (depending on the set-top box model, the sequence of actions may differ). The signal strength received by your antenna will appear on the screen. By the way, some models of consoles do not require any additional actions, the signal level is displayed on the screen immediately after switching on. Now you need an assistant or you will have to take the TV to the antenna so that you can adjust it and at the same time monitor the signal level. Slowly move the dish to the right / left and up / down until the signal appears on the screen. You will not be able to achieve a signal level of 100%, as a rule, a maximum of 60-70%. Don't worry, this is enough for a high-quality picture. When the optimum signal is found, the cymbal can be clamped tightly.

Of course, manually adjusting the antenna can take a lot of time, but you don't have to buy expensive equipment or hire a technician. If we are guided by our experience, then for a long time we fiddled with only the first antenna. This was due to the fact that the SatFinder application showed the location of the satellite very high, respectively, the dish was heavily lifted. If you also have, then feel free to lower the antenna an order of magnitude lower. Basically, 10-15 minutes of manual adjustment will definitely give a result. The main thing is to watch the TV, as soon as there is at least some signal, then you are close to completion.

I want to watch TV with pleasure. This requires not only a good transmission or film, but also excellent image quality. Cable television is far from being available everywhere, so today there is an alternative that provides an opportunity to view many broadcast channels even in the most remote corners of the country. Thus, you can watch satellite TV and enjoy a beautiful picture. Due to the variety of suppliers, it is possible to choose a suitable operator. How to set up satellite TV from MTS independently will be discussed in this article.

To install and configure satellite television in the MTS system, you yourself need attention and certain knowledge, otherwise the equipment can be damaged. First, you need to check the connectivity, that is, determine whether your region is within the coverage area, and also whether there are any obstacles to mounting the antenna, for example, a tall tree or a house. In addition, before installing and adjusting the antenna, you need to make sure that you have purchased a kit with all the necessary elements.

So, setting up MTS satellite TV includes the following steps:

  1. Choose a place for mounting a satellite dish, where it will have a direct line of sight to the satellite.
  2. Assemble the antenna according to the instructions that came with it.
  3. Install the equipment mounting bracket as firmly and securely as possible in the desired location.
  4. Attach the plate to the bracket according to three parameters: swivel, swivel and tilt.
  5. Connect the MTS set-top box and set up satellite TV using the installed mobile application online.
  6. Check the signal strength in the Antenna Settings section of the TV.

This completes the do-it-yourself MTS satellite TV setup. If you have any problems, admin will answer all questions. And then read more detailed connection information.

Antenna installation process

The quality of satellite signal reception depends directly on the correctness of the antenna setup from the MTS. Just buying a set of devices and materials and putting on a plate is not enough. You need to choose the right direction to the satellite, connect the receiver, and make certain settings.

First, you need to decide on a place. The satellite dish must always face south. It is good when the windows face south. The main thing is that there is no tall building or tree nearby that will block access to the satellite. Otherwise, you will need to output and install the plate on the roof of the house. Next, bolt the bracket, and the plate itself to it. In this case, it is necessary to use not all the bolts at once in order to be able to adjust the desired degree of the angle of inclination of satellite TV from the MTS. The next step is to mount the converter, which must also be rotated to the desired degree.

Setting up the receiver head with your own hands is considered an important task. The equipment will not work correctly if it is even slightly away from the satellite. In this case, you can set up a satellite dish from MTS yourself in three ways. Using a smartphone will help you complete the task using the installed SatFinder application, specifying the name of the satellite in which you can calculate the required tilt and rotation angles. The second way is to use the MTS website in the "Satellite TV" section, then "Settings", and then "Coverage Map", "Settings Wizard". The last method will help after installing the console in the "Settings" menu. To tune the antenna from the MTS as quickly as possible, watch the video with instructions.

To switch from Telekarta to MTS, a new antenna is not needed, it is enough to tune the existing one (below we will tell you how). If you use "NTV +" or "Tricolor", the antenna will need to change the converter: the new one must be with vertical polarization. Depending on the seller, such a device costs 300-600 rubles. Whatever operator you have now, in order to switch to MTS satellite TV, the "dish" must be at least 60 cm in diameter.

So, if you just decided to change another satellite operator to MTS, then buy only what you need. Among our proposals for satellite TV, choose among small sets, they do not have a "dish". This will save you at least 1200 rubles and a lot of time to replace the antenna.

The parameters for each house are different

The above mobile applications SatFinder and Protractor will also help in determining the angles. Find the ABS 2 satellite in SatFinder, and turn on satellite navigation on the smartphone itself.

Did? Now connect the set-top box to the TV, the antenna to the set-top box. If there is no good signal, you should first check the tilt and rotation angles of the "dish", and if everything is correct, try to turn it to the left or right over short distances without changing the tilt angle. After each shift, check if a signal has appeared: it will appear on the TV with a delay of 2-3 seconds. A good trick is not a needle in a haystack and will be found quickly. As a last resort, call! We will help!

Setting up satellite TV MTS

Before you set up MTS satellite TV yourself, think it over again. You should be aware that no one will compensate you for the damaged equipment if you damage it in the process of self-installation. If you are confident in your abilities and realize the possible risk, then you can proceed with antenna installation and tuning. Ideal if you have an assistant. It will be much more convenient if someone monitors the picture quality while adjusting the antenna. So, let's look at how the process of installing and configuring satellite television from MTS goes. By the way, if a visual instruction is preferable for you, then at the end of the article there is a corresponding video.

  • Important

  • The MTS satellite dish must be turned to the south, otherwise you will not be able to pick up the signal.

To install the antenna, follow these steps:

  1. Choose a suitable location for the plate. It should be in the line of sight of the satellite, that is, there should be no tall buildings or tall trees around that could interfere with signal reception;
  2. Assemble the satellite dish, following the instructions that came with the kit;
  3. Install the bracket in a predetermined place and attach the plate to it (do not fasten all the bolts, otherwise it will not be possible to fine-tune the equipment);
  4. Attach the converter, connect the cable to it and pull it into the apartment, and then connect it to the set-top box.

The installation of the satellite dish is completed. Be sure to check if everything is securely fixed. After fine tuning, the remaining bolts must be tightened so that the antenna does not change position in bad weather. Subscribers often complain that the signal is lost during the wind. As a rule, the reason is poor fixation of the satellite dish. So, after installing the antenna, you can start setting up the equipment. As mentioned, for an accurate determination, you can use special applications for a smartphone or a setup wizard on the MTS website. Our example uses the SatFinder program.

To set up MTS satellite TV, follow these steps:

  • Download and run the SatFinder application (the program is free);
  • Turn on the transfer of geodata on your smartphone to connect with GPS;
  • Select satellite ABS 2 - 75 E;
  • The program will show the direction of the antenna, as well as calculate the angles of elevation and azimuth;
  • Point the plate in the desired direction;
  • Turn on the set-top box, then open the Settings - Antenna settings menu item;
  • A bar appears that displays the signal strength. If the scale is full, nothing needs to be done. Otherwise, twist the antenna until the scale is full.

After completing the above steps and reaching the maximum signal, you can secure the antenna thoroughly and proceed to authorize the equipment. The most convenient way to authorize is by calling the Help Center. we have already told. That's all, we hope you managed to install and configure MTS satellite TV without any problems.

Mobile TeleSystems have loudly declared themselves in the satellite TV market, offering quality services and modern technologies for everyday use. Setting up an MTS satellite dish is an important aspect for a potential client to study, since this process must be performed independently. The company's service does not provide a specialist home visit service, and the call of the master will be accompanied by additional financial costs.

Observing the established instructions, installing the antenna, mounts, wiring cables and setting up technical equipment will not cause difficulties even for an inexperienced user. In this article, we will consider:

  1. pre-preparation process;
  2. step-by-step guidance;
  3. coverage map and satellite direction;
  4. subsequent configuration of equipment;
  5. recommendations, possible difficulties and mistakes.

If you are interested in the basic terms of service from a telecommunications operator, you need to make sure that it is possible to provide services in your region. The use of modern technologies has made it possible to achieve more than 80% of the coverage of the territory of Russia, but there are exceptions. This information is presented on the official website or can be obtained from a qualified technical support specialist.

You can contact him:

  • by calling the operator's toll-free number;
  • by contacting the nearest service office;
  • by leaving a written request in your personal account.

On the official website you can find detailed instructions for setting up MTS satellite TV, as well as information on possible errors. We will cover this issue in the corresponding section.

Also preview the content of the TV packages beforehand. At any time you can activate additional services that will add thematic channels to your account.

Coverage map and setup wizard

The official website of the operator presents a detailed coverage map showing the scope of satellite and digital TV services. Go to the appropriate section and indicate the address of residence, after which the screen will display the possibility of using MTS services in this region.

The modern version of the firmware or CAM-module contains the “Setup Wizard” function, which will help the client with basic work with the device. Specify the required data, and also select the type of channel setting: automatic or manual. The automatic mode does not require your intervention, and after performing the search, you can independently divide the channels into certain categories.

In the case of manual search, here you will have to specify the parameters of each added channel. Although this laborious process will take a lot of time, you will be able to achieve the best broadcast quality.

Installation of a satellite dish MTS

Having concluded an agreement for the provision of satellite TV services, the client is given a set with:

  1. antenna with a diameter of 60 cm;
  2. attachment or CAM-module, depending on the selected type;
  3. bracket and additional fasteners, which allows you to securely fix the structure;
  4. coaxial cable;
  5. converter;
  6. several additional F-type connectors;
  7. keys and other items for installation;
  8. paper documentation.

Frequently asked questions when connecting

Installation of MTS satellite TV is a laborious process that can cause a number of difficulties and questions among subscribers. Let's consider the most common calls to the technical support service.
