After the appearance digital television a large number of users caught fire with the transition to a modern format. What are the reasons? Of course, in the desire to try the new product, as well as frequent discussions that the quality of the incoming signal is much higher. Accordingly, this improves the quality of the picture. Ease of access also attracts new users.

It is really possible to connect digital TV even to kinescope models. This will require the use of additional devices. And of course, modern TV models are able to catch this reception.

In the Moscow region and the capital, the well-known Ostankino television and radio network offers open access great amount broadcast channels. This allows you to receive a signal without additional registration and payment for Russian television programs. Reception is available both on individual antennas located in the room and on outdoor ones.

There are also paid channels for which a certain amount is charged each month. How many channels are there in digital television today 2019? What is needed to receive their signal? More on this later.

Ways to receive a digital signal

There are four options for connecting free and paid TV channels:

  • Cable. In this case, the signal is received via a cable. The main disadvantage is subscription fee. This method is not available everywhere.
  • Satellite. Here, the signal is transmitted via satellite, the reception is due to the installed personal dish. There is also a specific subscription fee. Requires the purchase of equipment designed for satellite TV.
  • Terrestrial (DVB television). Terrestrial repeaters distribute a signal that can be received by an indoor or outdoor antenna. This connection option does not require additional financial waste. A convenient way to watch TV programs in the format of modern broadcasting.

The digital set-top box (Dvb T2) catches channels differently than the previously described option. The signal level is low. It is difficult to catch him in case of bad weather, as well as a distant location from the TV tower.

The lowest price is the reception of digital TV using an antenna that is installed and configured by the user himself. You can add different channels.

What are multiplexes

A multiplex is a connection in one digital package of different TV channels during digital television broadcasting, which are combined before transmission over the channel and separated at the final receiving element (subscriber's receiver) with the allocation of 1 or 2 TV channels.

Digital television in Russia in DVB T2 format offers 20 TV channels, which are divided into 2 packages, this is called multiplexes. It's free to watch digital channels- there is no set subscription fee. The user only needs a TV; a prefix with a decoder that accepts the DVB T2 frequency range (if such a decoder is not on the TV) and an antenna.

Package No. 1 is a group of information, news and development channels (Russia 1 and 2, 1 and 5 channels and others).

This package functions wherever there is digital television. In the event that a working digital TV tower is located nearby, most likely you will receive all 10 channels. The user will be able to catch either all 10 at once, or not one. The reason for this is that multiplex channels 1 are transmitted at the same frequency. Broadcasting is carried out at a frequency of 546 MHz using DVB-T2.

Quite often, the composition of the channels in this package changes. Competitions are held among programs, as a result of which the list may differ. Frequency 498 MHz with DVB prefix.

Package #3 is under development, but it will be paid. Cheaper and simple option it is considered to use the cable and get more than 100 channels from 200 rubles per month.

This package will work in test mode. In it, users will also be able to find programs of maximum definition HD.

What do you need to watch

To show digital television channels, special equipment is required:

  • Antenna;
  • Digital TV set-top box or TV with DVB T2 tuner. The device must support the MPEG 4 standard and the ability to operate in Multiple PLP mode.

As for the antenna, you can opt for a standard analog one. If you have a new TV model, then it may have an integrated digital format tuner. In this case, there is no need to buy a prefix.

If you don't know if your model has a digital TV tuner, check the data sheet. Alternatively, enter in search engine model name.

There are two types of antenna devices:

  1. Active - when amplifiers are used, a connection is made to a source of electrical energy. When using a receiver, 5-V is fed through it. This can be done through the settings in the menu - "Antenna power". Not always using an active device is the right decision. Since at a close location near the tower, the signal can completely disappear.
  2. Passive - there are no additional amplifiers. They are most often used in areas with a stable signal. This option is easier for connecting multiple TVs.


Consider the features of choosing a digital tuner. Whoever encounters such an acquisition for the first time most likely thinks that all consoles are identical. The main condition right choice is not to make a mistake in the key technical specifications.

There are other points that can affect the further functioning of the equipment and the breadth of the functional component:

  • There are no buttons on the external panel of the device - this obliges the user to work only with the remote control. This is not always practical.
  • If the tuner does not have a USB port, the device cannot be used as a media player. With the presence of such equipment, you can record TV programs, view photos and video clips.

Please note that a set-top box with a separate power supply is considered a chic option. Most often, this element is built inside. most common cause failure of the tuner is considered a malfunction of the power supply. In the event of a failure, this did can be attributed to service center Or replace the whole prefix. But a separate unit is an opportunity to replace the component without any problems.

Digital terrestrial television - latest technology encoding and transmission of audio and video signals through digital channels. The signal is transmitted in DVB-T2 format, which allows you to watch a large number of TV channels for free even in the most remote settlements of Russia.

Today, 30 channels are available to residents of Moscow and the region, divided into three multiplexes with 10 programs each.

DVB-T2 digital television channel frequencies

Each of the three multiplexes is tuned to a different frequency. The first multiplex is broadcast at a frequency of 546 MHz, the second - 498 MHz, the third - 578 MHz. So to see all free programs all-wave or decimeter antenna is required, operating in a private range of 470-860 MHz. In the Moscow region, it may be necessary to install an antenna with an amplifier, the capabilities of which make it possible to improve even the most weak signal coming from Ostankino or a repeater tower.

In the event that the antenna is connected to an obsolete TV, you will additionally need an external tuner operating in the DVB-T2 format.

To set up Moscow network programs on a TV, you need to search on channels 24, 30 and 34, the first, second and third multiplexes, respectively.

List of terrestrial television channels for 2019

The first group of programs, approved by decree of the President of Russia, includes federal channels. The second multiplex includes entertaining and informative programs. The third multiplex is broadcast in test mode only from the Ostankino tower (coverage radius up to 100 km), and the list of programs available to free viewing, may change until their final approval.

List of on-air analog channels Moscow and the region

Currently, 19 television channels are broadcast from Ostankino in analog format. In the future, with a full transition to digital broadcasting, these channels will be disabled.

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 digital TV channel package. It is assumed that until 2018 RTRS will launch transmitters of the second multiplex in cities with a population of more than 50,000 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 sites: Armizonskoye, Aromashevo, Berdyuzhye, Bunkovo, Vikulovo, Zavodoukovsk, Kolesnikovo, Malinovka, Novoberezovka, Shabanovo, Bolshoye Sorokino, Abatskoye, Vagay (Ulyanovka), Isetskoye, Kazanskoye, Krotovo, Nagorny, Nizhnyaya Tavda, Novoaleksandrovka, Sladkovo, Black, Yurginskoe, Yalutorovsk, Yarkovo. Information about the resumption of broadcasting of the second multiplex will be announced later.

With the advent of the era of digital terrestrial television, many subscribers of cable and satellite networks began to think more and more about connecting free broadcasting. After all, according to the FTP, on the development of a digital broadcasting network, in the public domain there will be more than twenty TV channels in excellent quality absolutely free. which include mandatory federal TV channels.

The question arises - how to connect digital terrestrial television at home?

There is nothing difficult in this. To receive digital terrestrial television, you will need any subscriber equipment of the standard DVB-T2/MPEG-4 with mode support Multiple PLP and decimeter antenna ( DMV) range. The antenna can be either collective (installed on the house, also called common house) or individual, installed directly in your house or apartment. Depending on the distance to the transmitting center, it is necessary to select the desired antenna. They are divided into active (with amplifier) ​​and passive. When buying an antenna, you can first clarify the power of the transmitting equipment installed in your region and the distance to the transmitting center. Based on the data obtained, select an antenna.

Approximate range of transmitting stations:
10 W– about 3 km;
50 W– about 5 km;
100 W– about 15 km;
500 W– about 25 km;
1 kW- about 30-35 km;
2 kW- about 35-40 km;
5 kW- about 40 - 50 km.

Let's go directly to the receiving equipment. Three main groups can be distinguished: TVs with a built-in DVB-T2 tuner, set-top boxes of the same standard, and DVB-T2 digital computer tuners. Their setup is similar, if not the same.

Video: how to set up DVB-T2 digital terrestrial television

It is best to connect a digital terrestrial set-top box according to the manufacturer's instructions, it is almost impossible to make a mistake there. Also, you can see official video from RTRS:

A few recommendations, also from RTRS:
connect the plug of the antenna cable and, if necessary, digital set-top box to the TV;
connect auto search for channels - the TV will tune in to the corresponding digital terrestrial channel, when tuning to a channel in manual mode you must specify the channel frequency (for example, 35 TV channel, 685 MHz);
in most digital TVs(and in set-top boxes) there is a built-in indicator of the signal level and quality, which will allow you to optimally tune your antenna to receive a digital terrestrial signal (see the instruction manual for the TV).

On TVs with a built-in DVB-T2 tuner, all manipulations are carried out through the TV menu. There shouldn't be any problems either.

We recommend updating the software of your subscriber equipment to the latest. This can be done in specialized services, or by yourself (if you are confident in your abilities). Software As a rule, you can download from the official websites of the manufacturer.

At the beginning of 2020, DVB-T2 digital television in the Moscow region expanded its coverage area to the maximum. All repeaters of the Moscow Region launched the first multiplex, and the second package of free digital channels is expected to start broadcasting in the near future. The third multiplex broadcasts only the main tower - Ostankino, but in remote areas, over 50 kilometers from Moscow, signal reception is uncertain. To determine the direction when installing the antenna, you need to click on the picture with the transmitters, go to the official, interactive map of the RTRS television and radio broadcasting network, find your locality and select the nearest transmitter. DVB-T2 digital television is broadcast in the decimeter range, the frequencies can be found in the table at the bottom of the page.
