Digital television entered the everyday life very quickly and settled down for a long time due to the improved transmission quality and accessibility for a wide range of users. This direction in television is notable for its rapid development, and today there are more than enough specialists who are ready to help deal with connecting and setting up the service.
However, setting digital TV channels on the TV, the procedure is very simple for the average user, so you can deal with it on your own. For this, it is not even necessary to delve deeply into what constitutes digital television generally. You need to know which channels on the TV are available in your area and whether the receiver is actually connected (that is, whether the TV is in the broadcast area).
The need to set up TV channels usually arises during the initial connection, when updating software a device in which all user settings disappear, and if digital channels have disappeared for any other reason (you can accidentally reset the settings, for example, when children play with a remote control). However, why this happens is not important, unless the firmware has crashed.
Standard setup instructions
First you need to consider the general algorithm of actions, that is, step-by-step steps, when setting up previously available channels on your digital television on Philips, LG, Samsung TVs and other leading models. At the same time, it should be taken into account that the sequence of actions and the names of buttons and sections in each model may and will differ. Nevertheless, it is still not so difficult to figure it out, if you do not rush and read what is written on the screen, and do not click where you should not.
Standard algorithm of actions:
Take the remote remote control, press the "Menu" button, then select the "Options" - "Auto-tuning" section. You will see a window with a list of signal sources (antenna or cable) on the screen. Select the cable and click "Start";
As a result, a window with a list of possible signal sources should open on the screen of the television device, in which find the “Digital” item and then click “Start”;
At the last stage, you should go to the "Search Mode" section. Find the "Full" category in it and manually fill in the fields with the following information:
Modulation - 256 QAM;
Frequency - 314 MHz;
Transfer rate – 6875 kS/s.
Some TV models, including LZh, Philips, support network search, therefore, for such TVs you do not need to enter any parameters manually.
Actions for LG TVs
Each individual TV model has its own factory firmware and individual functionality. However, in a situation where digital television channels have disappeared, there are some similarities in all TVs. Speaking of setting up TV channels on your LG TV, you need to press "Menu" on the remote control, select "Options", click on the desired parameters to change. In particular, by clicking on the "Country" section, you should select Finland or Germany.
After these steps, you need to go to the “Settings” item and then “Auto search”, specifying the cable connection in the same way as described above. As a result, a window will appear in which you should adjust the values according to the instructions. If everything is done correctly, all radio stations and channels will reappear.
You should also pay attention to the fact that the user can significantly simplify his task by using automatic update TV channels available on LG models. As a result, the previous list will be reset and the channels will be tuned in a new sequence.
To take advantage automatic tuning, you need to go to the digital cable settings tab and click on automatic update.
If you have Philips or Samsung
If a channel failure occurs on Philips TV, you will also need a remote control, as, indeed, for any other model, not only Philips:
Through the item "Menu" you should enter the section "Configurations";
Click on the "Installation" section;
After the secondary menu appears on the screen, you need to press the channel settings in it;
After that, another secondary menu will pop up, where you need to select "Automatic settings";
If all the transitions are performed consistently and correctly, a warning message will appear stating that the channels will now be updated;
Press "Start".
The program sets up the TV on Philips devices on its own, after completion you do not need to do anything else, you can use the TV as before.
In the second half of August, viewers discovered that the channels they were used to had disappeared from the usual buttons on the remote control. RBC demonstrated how the sequence of channels in the broadcasting grid has changed different operators
In July, the President of Russia signed amendments to the law "On Communications" and "On the Media", which resulted in changes in the numbering of TV and radio channels: the sequence of the first 20 "buttons on the remote control", or the first and second digital multiplexes, should now be uniform , they must have mandatory public TV channels. In addition to the document, the Ministry of Telecom and Mass Communications is now preparing explanations for operators on how channels should be numbered.
As representatives of Rostelecom, Akado Telecom and MTS explained, some operators of digital cable television have already begun to comply with the decree and have begun to make changes to the numbering and arrangement of channels in their networks. As for analog television, there are no direct instructions to change the order of channels by frequency in analog networks, but some service operators have decided to do it on their own.
The shuffling of channels has caused bewilderment of many viewers - in the last week in in social networks constantly discussed the "loss" of certain channels. The representative of Akado Telecom connects the misunderstanding on the part of users with the fact that the operators did not provide timely full information to your subscribers.
What is the reason
As part of the planned transition from analogue to digital broadcasting, at least two digital multiplexes were to be created in Russia. Multiplex is a package of channels that is distributed on the same frequency. If today is the signal of the majority broadcast channels is available only in cities with a population of 100 thousand or more (viewers of small towns watch these channels thanks to local cable networks and satellite operators), then the digital multiplex should be available throughout almost the entire country.
Initially, it was assumed that analogue television broadcasting would be completely turned off in Russia in 2015, now they are already talking about 2019.
For the first multiplex, the infrastructure was built with public money. This multiplex included all all-Russian obligatory public TV channels, determined by the decree of the President of the Russian Federation of June 24, 2009. Now these are Channel One, Russia 1, Russia K, Russia 24, NTV, Channel Five, Karusel, Public Television of Russia and TV Center. In addition, the first multiplex includes the Match TV sports channel, which will replace Rossiya 2 in November.
The infrastructure of the second multiplex has not been completed yet. The second multiplex is commercial. The construction of its infrastructure is paid for by the broadcasters themselves, who were selected for the multiplex at the competition. These are REN TV, Spas, STS, Domashny, TV-3, Zvezda, Mir, TNT and Muz TV. Now the second multiplex also includes the Sport Plus channel, on the basis of which the already mentioned Match TV is being created. Roskomnadzor has already announced a competition for a place that will be vacated after the reorganization of Sport Plus.
Last July, amendments to the laws "On Mass Media" and "On Communications" were adopted by the State Duma, approved by the Federation Council and signed by President Putin, which expanded the concept of "mandatory public channel." Now these are not only the first ten broadcasters, determined by presidential decree, but also all participants in digital multiplexes. Cable and satellite operators must distribute all mandatory public channels on their networks free of charge. Now providers have to broadcast 20 channels for free. In addition, the law obliges to assign the first twenty positions (buttons) to these mandatory public channels in their networks.
Thus, the broadcasters from the second multiplex achieved free distribution on cable networks and via satellite, but most of them are boycotting the construction of the infrastructure of the multiplex itself.
Problem area
In 2013, all participants in the second multiplex entered into ten-year contracts with the Federal State Unitary Enterprise Russian Television and Radio Broadcasting Network (RTRS), according to which they pledged to annually finance the construction of infrastructure. As stated in the reporting of CTC Media, this year the company must pay about $4.2 million for the digital distribution of its CTC and Domashny channels in cities with a population of more than 50 thousand people, the amount for the next year in accordance with the contract will be determined in October. For the construction of digital infrastructure in cities with a population of less than 50 thousand people, CTC Media in 2015-2018 should allocate 1.4 billion rubles. (about $25.6 million at the exchange rate as of June 30).
But STS Media is the only company that regularly pays RTRS for the participation of its channels in the second multiplex, all other broadcasters have accumulated debts to the Federal State Unitary Enterprise, the heads of TV channels unofficially admit. The receivables of buyers and customers to RTRS in 2014 more than doubled, to 2.6 billion rubles, according to the financial statements of the Federal State Unitary Enterprise. But RTRS is in no hurry to collect debts from participants in the second multiplex: not a single lawsuit against broadcasters has been registered in the database of arbitration courts.
Igor Stepanov, the head of the RTRS press service, responded to an official request from RBC about the debt of the participants in the second multiplex in June that he “does not consider it possible” to comment on this issue, since “on this information confidentiality applies." The Ministry of Telecom and Mass Communications, which oversees RTRS, does not have information about the debt of broadcasters to the Federal State Unitary Enterprise, followed from the response of Deputy Minister of Communications Alexei Volin to RBC's request. The broadcasters themselves also declined to comment on questions about their debt to RTRS.
Analog television is planned to be turned off in Russia from 2018.
The head of the Ministry of Communications, Nikolai Nikiforov, said that since 2018, Russia is going to turn off analog television and replace it with digital. The 360 TV channel decided to find out how the two types of broadcasting differ and why the authorities decided to get rid of one of them.
According to Nikiforov, analog television will be turned off simultaneously with the end of subsidies. It can be left by several Russian subjects, in connection with their "regional interests".
“This technology will disappear, instead a digital signal will be broadcast, in which the same TV channels are also encoded. To decode, you need either digital tv, or a set-top box for analog television, ”explained Ilya Shatilin, an independent expert and analyst at the Telecom Daily information and analytical agency.
Benefits of Digital TV
It is easy to guess that the two types of broadcasting are based on different types signal - analog and digital. The first goes continuously, so it is vulnerable to any influence from the outside: the quality of the image or sound may deteriorate. In the case of digital television, you will not have to face such problems - it is safer and better.
An analog signal can be received using a simple terrestrial antenna. It has no other obvious advantages. Now almost everything modern TVs created to work with digital signal, although they still have an analog connector.
“The only drawback is that analog television, with poor reception, can show interference, with ripples, the sound can be interrupted. Digital in the presence of serious interference will not work at all. In this case, those who live in the zone of uncertain reception will have to switch to satellite television”, Shatilin explained.
Digital signal can unlock its full potential modern technology, as the image quality is several times better. You can simply forget about ghosting, interference and interruptions, and the ability to watch HD TV is provided.
Why analog TV will disappear
Analog TV technology is already outdated. If back in the early 2000s, many houses in large cities were hung with receiving antennas, now there are almost none left. However, those who still use analog TV will have to buy by 2018 new tv, or digital set-top box.
“If you have an old analog TV, then it will not work. You will need to buy either a new TV or a digital set-top box. Console - additional device, you need to find a place for it, there will be a separate remote control for it, so it may not be very convenient to use it. But in any case, the service life of an analog TV will still pass, it will break down completely, and new TVs are all digital,” Shatilin said.
According to the expert, the sale of televisions without a digital receiver may also be prohibited by law.
Three multi-complexes
From 2018, digital television in the Russian Federation will include three multi-complexes. The first one, which will include Rossiya-1, Rossiya-24, NTV, Rossiya-Kultura, TVC, OTR, Karusel, Channel 5 and Channel One, will be free.
The second will include REN TV, STS, Domashny, TV3, Mir, TNT, MuzTV, Spas and Zvezda. These channels will not be included in the list of required free distribution.
The third multi-complex in each region will be formed separately. From an economic point of view, Nikiforov considers its creation inexpedient. According to the minister, the second multi-complex, which is being implemented at the expense of broadcasters, also has problems now.
“The second multiplex and the third one are not provided with budget funds in any way and are implemented at the expense of the broadcasters themselves. Due to the fact that the volume of the advertising market has been greatly reduced, TV broadcasters are also very much reducing the list of settlements where they want to broadcast,” Nikiforov said.
