Replacement of satellites Tricolor
At the position of 36 degrees, satellites were replaced, instead of Eutelsat 36A, Eutelsat 36C was put into operation, Tricolor TV is now broadcasting from satellites Eutelsat 36B / 36C (Express-AMU1).

Tricolor satellite data
Tricolor TV is located and broadcasts digital television channels in the European territory of Russia (since 2005) from artificial earth satellites, and the territory of the Ural, Siberian and part of the Far Eastern districts (since 2007) is served from satellites Express-AT1 (56 E).
SATELLITE "EUTELSAT 36B" - 36 ° East Broadcasting is in the "KU" BAND. It is a powerful satellite that has 70 transponders, five high power steerable beams. The service life of the satellite is at least 15 years.
24 transponders SATELLITE "EUTELSAT 36B" are used in a fixed beam for direct television and radio broadcasting on the territory of Russia and Ukraine. Up to 27 satellite transponders are allocated for broadband services. The commissioning of the satellite has tripled the existing capacity for Russia, Ukraine and the CIS. In addition, 36B also provides services to clients in Central Africa, Europe, the Middle East and Central Asia.
SATELLITE "EUTELSAT 36C" - 36 ° East Broadcasting is in the "KU" BAND. It is a powerful satellite that has 70 transponders, five high power steerable beams. The service life of the satellite is at least 15 years.

What are the features of receiving signals from EUTELSAT 36C and 36B satellites in Nizhny Novgorod?

N. Novgorod is located on the 44th meridian east longitude, and the indicated satellites are located on the meridian 36 degrees east longitude, i.e. the difference is only a few degrees. As you know, the greatest elevation angle for a satellite dish will be when it is located on the satellite's meridian. Thus, the angle of elevation of the dish in Nizhny Novgorod is large enough that it allows you to receive a signal over various obstacles, such as houses, trees, etc. At a large angle of elevation, the attenuation of the satellite signal in the atmosphere is insignificant, which makes it possible to steadily receive the signal during precipitation on a small dish.
Accurate satellite parameters Eutelsat 36C and 36B (36 century) in Nizhny Novgorod: azimuth - 189.592 degrees east longitude, elevation - 25.516 degrees.

What satellite is NTV-Plus on?

NTV Plus is on the same satellites EUTELSAT 36C and 36B (36 east) as Tricolor. In Moscow and the Moscow region, as in other cities of the European part of Russia, Tricolor broadcasts from the EUTELSAT 36C and 36B satellites (36th century) Frequencies and other channel parameters can be found in the Tricolor transponder table.

How to set up a Tricolor satellite dish yourself? To carry out this procedure, it is recommended to first study the instructions. Otherwise, you may encounter a number of difficulties during the installation or operation of the system. Tricolor TV company took care of its customers and simplified this process as much as possible. Even with the necessary skills, each subscriber can independently connect. This is due to the good coverage of the EUTEL SAT 36 / B satellite. It is positioned at 36 degrees east longitude.

In order to carry out the installation and configuration procedure correctly, you need to know the location of the satellite.

The signal can be compared to a searchlight beam shining from a height of 36-38 thousand km.

High quality transmission is only possible if the antenna is installed on the right side and at the right angle. This is due to the fact that the signal from the satellite does not pass through walls and can get lost even if there are obstacles such as trees or small buildings.

Pay attention to the criterion that the satellite is above the equator.

That is why the antenna mirror must be installed in the south direction. This moment is the most important, since without it there will be no broadcasting. If the windows of your apartment or house face the north side, then the installation of equipment in this case is impossible. Even with very great efforts, it will be possible to receive only a low-quality signal. The best option in this case is to install the plate on the roof of the building. This option is only suitable for private houses.

Tricolor TV offers to watch many channels via satellite, in excellent quality. And to find out which frequencies correspond to which channels, you need to use special tables.

This is a high-quality satellite communication that works over a vast territory (including Siberia), and includes many interesting channels, even such as TNV, which is quite rare in packages. However, to be able to enjoy all the benefits of this offer, you need to be able to properly configure it.

Setting up broadcasting (all channels, including TVN, and throughout the entire territory, including Siberia) is possible if you have:

  • Receiver for receiving TV channels (including TNV).
  • Antenna of the required diameter (namely, 90 cm).
  • Two converters - linear and circular polarization.
  • Multifeed.

The broadcasting package from Tricolor TV is becoming very popular, and everyone can connect it. This can be done even without the help of specialists. It is enough just to know what settings need to be set. Of course, the list of channels (Siberia) is not perfect (although it includes TNV). There may not be many of the channels you need, but this is not a problem, since you can watch them on other satellites.

Customization features

Before learning about the frequencies of Tricolor TV, you need to correctly connect and configure all the equipment. You need to start from the location of the antenna. To receive all channels, including TNV. Later, you will need to familiarize yourself with a lot of settings, including lnb and others. When placing the antenna, make sure that it faces south and that there are no high obstacles there. Ideally, there should be a clear horizon in front of the antenna. Then the customization will pay off.

It's great if you can adjust the position of the cymbal during operation to get a cleaner signal. This setup is not only flexible, but also justified by operational needs.

The instructions will indicate how to assemble the antenna, after which you will need to move on to the next step - setting up the broadcast and the channel table.

You will come across lnb when setting up a multifeed. For everything to work perfectly, the lnb value must be "single". If lnb is assigned a different value, adjustment to Tricolor is not possible.

Many settings are made manually and cannot be adjusted automatically. So, you will need to independently configure your entire system to receive a specific satellite, and it all starts with a system setting. Here the value of the Number should be 1. It is important to observe the value of the lower line 10750, the upper line 10750. They may be different by default. However, you need to bring these frequencies to such a single form. Change the values ​​manually if necessary.

Next, configure manual settings. Select the antenna number and frequency as instructed in the instructions. In this case, 1, Eutelsat W4, 12226. Select the flow rate 27500. This is the optimal value with which it is convenient to work. After these simple manipulations, you need to look for a signal and navigate by the light indicators. There are no particular difficulties at this stage, but make sure that the mirror has a full view, and you do not obstruct it.

Once you have acquired the satellite signal, it will be very easy to tune the channels.

What channels are there?

To connect the channels themselves, just select the channel search in the menu. The receiver itself will find all the channels that are provided in this direction of communication. Of course, you can also do everything manually if you enter the details of each channel yourself. This way you can achieve excellent signal quality. Below is a table of frequencies.

This table lists all the channels that might interest you.

Tricolor subscribers can independently tune the dish to the satellite. How to do it? Where is the best place to install the antenna in order to receive high-quality channel broadcasting? All these questions can be answered by reading this material.

Choosing a place to install the antenna

Choosing the right place for the antenna is the key to high-quality TV broadcasting. If the place is not suitable, then no matter how hard you try, the dish cannot be tuned to the satellite.

How to install a dish antenna correctly

  1. The antenna should be installed only on the south-facing wall of the house. If the apartment is located so that not a single window faces the South, you need to fix it where the South will be closer, and then start tuning to the satellite.
  2. When choosing a wall, you must be guided by the following: in the immediate vicinity of the plate there should not be tall buildings and trees, they can interfere with the signal.
  3. Another factor affecting the installation of the dish is its position relative to the TV. The closer they are to each other, the better the signal will be, and hence the image.

Unfavorable places for installing the Tricolor plate:

  • glazed balconies and loggias;
  • places without drainage systems;
  • an area where a plate can be covered with snow;
  • roofs with a gable or more roof, asymmetrical roof.

How to independently tune the Tricolor TV antenna to the Eutelsat 36A and 36B satellites

To tune the antenna without resorting to the help of specialists who will need to pay, you need to follow the instructions below. Having started work on setting up, subscribers will understand that it is not so difficult!

Before installing and adjusting the antenna, you will need todetermine the direction to the satellite:

  1. Using a compass(considering that its readings can be affected by metal objects located nearby), the sun (good old method), a GPS navigator, or nearby dishes - the simplest option, 0.6 m in size, you need to determine the azimuth to the satellites Eutelsat 36A and 36B , 36 degrees east longitude. In this case, it is strongly recommended to track that the direction to the satellite is free, high-rise buildings, trees, and various buildings could not interfere with the signal.
  2. Satellite Antenna Alignment Program will help subscribers calculate the azimuth and elevation angle required to tune the satellite dish to any available satellite, at the selected geographic receiving point. Using this program, you can calculate the angles at once for all geostationary telecommunication satellites located on the "arc".
  3. The program is designed so that it remembers the geographical coordinates of the places for which the calculation will be made. In the future, it will be possible to use these coordinates, because they remain stored in the program memory forever.
  4. When working with the Satellite Antenna Alignment program, you will need to enter the geographic coordinates of the installation site in the "Coordinates of the antenna installation site" section.

Symbols:
N-latitude north,
S - latitude south,
E - east longitude,
W - western longitude.

When the coordinates are entered into the program, you need to obtain the calculated azimuth and elevation angles (elevation angle) of the antenna for all satellites on the left side of the table. Azimuth - the direction to the satellite (in degrees), it is defined as the angle between the directions to the north and the satellite.

Instructions

  • Elevation - direction, which is defined as the angle (in degrees) between the direction toward the satellite and the ground plane at the receiving point.
  • A negative elevation angle means that the satellite is behind the horizon line and is not available for reception with a dish.
  • At the installation site of the antenna, in theory, you can determine all the satellites from which you can receive signals. Guided by azimuth and elevation, subscribers can quickly determine the direction to the satellite on the ground and the ability to receive a signal at a selected point.
  • If the subscriber does not have special tools to determine the geographic direction, you can use the sun to determine the coordinates of the satellite.
  • The program described above allows subscribers to calculate the azimuth from the position of the sun. To use the star, you will need to set the geographic coordinates of the area in the program. Estimated height above sea level - 0 meters.
  • The calculation should be made for a specific date, since the sun changes its coordinates at the same time every day. The calculation results are presented in the left part of the table. According to the table for the sun, you need to determine the azimuth and the angle of elevation at a given moment in time.

We propose to consider the procedure for determining the coordinates of the satellite in the sun:

  • The first step is to determine the azimuth to the selected satellite;
  • further, calculate the azimuth of the sun on the day of the antenna installation;
  • in the table, you need to find the azimuth of the sun close in value to the azimuth to the satellite and determine the time and date when the sun will be in this direction;
  • at a certain point in time according to the program, the antenna will need to be turned directly towards the sun, since at this time the azimuths of the sun and the satellite coincide.

The elevation angles of the satellite and the sun do not always coincide. If they coincide, reception from the satellite at this time will be unstable, or not possible at all. This is due to the fact that the powerful electromagnetic radiation from the sun will interrupt the signal from the satellite. This phenomenon is called solar interference, it appears in spring and autumn, and can last for several days.

  • When calculating, you must take into account the time zone (for Moscow, you need to add 3 hours to Greenwich Mean Time).
  • If the arrows are switched to daylight saving time, then one more hour will need to be added to the resulting azimuth calculations.

For convenient work with the program, you need to know the following:

  1. The program displays the direction to the satellite with a red line.
  2. The red line is not displayed if the satellite is behind the horizon line and is not available for reception at the location selected for the dish.
  3. The yellow sector indicates daylight hours, the diagram shows the sides of the horizon for the convenience of working with the program.
