Satellite TV is now available in almost every home. In Russia on this moment the most popular and reliable supplier satellite television considered Tricolor TV. The principle of operation of such television is to transmit data via the Earth satellite from the transmitting center to the receiving device to the consumer. Data transmission is of high quality. Ensure picture and sound quality correct installation and equipment setup. You can call a service specialist for installation and adjustment, but you can install and adjust the system yourself.

The plate is a fundamental element satellite system. It is a metal structure of a parabolic shape, concave inward. This form not chosen by chance. The signals coming from the satellite, reaching the dish, are concentrated at one central point - in a circular convector, which allows you to get a high level of communication. From the convector, information is fed through the cable route to the receiver, where it is converted and displayed on the TV screen.

Now knowing the principle of signal transmission, it becomes clear that the satellite dish should be installed according to the following rules:

1. We select the available trajectory from the dish to the satellite. To do this, mentally draw a line from the antenna in the direction of the transmission device. On the path of the trajectory line there should not be trees, buildings, structures, structures that could block the path or distort the signal. Remember! Satellite signal cannot pass through walls.
2. We fix the antenna on a high-altitude point. She will help to become the roof of the house, the open side of the balcony room. It is not recommended to mount the plate on the inner wall of a loggia or balcony. This will degrade the transmission of digital messages and cause interference.
3. The best direction of the plate is the south side.
4. We avoid places on the building where snow or moisture accumulates. These can be weirs, slopes and cornices of the roof of the house.
5. We mount the antenna near the TV. This will make the setup process easier.

Simple rules for installing a Tricolor TV satellite dish will help you avoid the first mistakes in setting up television yourself.

Starting the installation of a satellite dish

Having chosen a place, we proceed to the installation of the structure itself. The external structure of Tricolor TV consists of several parts:

• bracket;
• antenna mirror;
• coaxial cable;
• convector.

The bracket is attached to the wall or roof with anchor bolts to increase stability. Any fluctuations in the wind of an insecurely fixed bracket will lead to deformation of the entire structure and a decrease in image quality.

After mounting the mount, we attach the plate mirror itself, the convector.

We install the convector on the holder with the connector in the lower position so that moisture does not get on it.

Steps for connecting cable and convector:

1. We clean the outer insulating material on the cable at a distance of about 15 mm from the ends of the cable, the inner one - 10 mm. Be careful not to damage the shielding braid.
2. We bend the shielding braid together with the foil in the opposite direction from the ends and twist it to the F-connector until it stops.
3. Do not cut off the end of the core behind the 2 mm connector.
4. We fix the cable wire on the holder with insulating tape or ties.
5. We seal the connector to prevent moisture from entering it with a sealant or insulating tape.

On this, the outdoor work on setting up the satellite broadcast of Tricolor TV is completed, you need to connect the cable to the receiver and adjust the operation of the receiver itself.

The subtleties of installing the receiver

Installing the receiver to the TV is carried out in one of two ways:

1. Using a high frequency (HF) antenna cable.
2. Using a low-frequency (LF) cable with a connector.

The RF is plugged into the TV's antenna jack and into the "RF Out" jack on the receiver. When the receiver is plugged into the socket, the word “BOOT” and the number of the TV channel should appear on the screen of the television device. Turning on the channel search, we get the phrase "No signal", indicating that the receiver is working correctly.

Algorithm for attaching LF to satellite receiver the same as HF. The only thing is that after the appearance of the inscription "BOOT" we press the key on the remote control "A / V" and wait for the appearance of the inscription "No signal". If the inscription appears, then everything is done correctly. Other information that appears on the screen of the television device indicates that the equipment was not assembled correctly.

For a quality image

Before the signal search stage, you need to carry out several actions in the satellite TV settings themselves:

1. Press the Menu button on the receiver's remote control.
2. In the "Installation" column, click "OK".
3. Enter "0000".
4. In the pop-up window, click "OK".
5. Select "Install Antenna" and click "OK".

In the column "Antenna installation" we find two scales "Signal quality" and "Signal strength", showing the level of the received information flow. The optimal transmission rate should be at least 70%.

Reasons for a low signal level may be incorrect equipment assembly or inaccurate antenna position. If the cable is connected correctly, then you need to adjust the value of the incoming signal by changing the position of the plate itself.

We begin to move the antenna by 1-2 mm, stopping each step for a few seconds so as not to miss the signal. The mirror of the Tricolor TV dish should be directed as high as possible.

We continue to rotate the Tricolor TV plate to the desired value for filling the scales on the TV screen. Filling one scale indicates that the device is not communicating with the satellite. Therefore, we continue the search. After filling the scales to the desired value, an image will appear on the monitor. When the setup is completed, tighten the bracket mounting bolts until it stops.

Setting up the Tricolor TV device on your own does not take much time and does not require the presence of special and special skills and abilities. In general, it will take no more than 3 hours to put satellite TV into use. The final step in the setup is the registration of the satellite receiver itself.

Call and register

Registration of the receiver takes place through the department technical support at the specified number subscription agreement. Before dialing, have the following information ready:

• FULL NAME. subscriber or passport data;
• device installation address;
• receiver details.

Remember! You can register the receiver through the Tricolor TV website

A technical support specialist will check the correctness of the data and give confirmation. During the working week, the inscription “DRE coded channel” may be lit on the screen of the television set. After the expiration of the specified period, the broadcasting of Tricolor TV will begin.

The setup of the Tricolor TV satellite is independently completed. You can enjoy watching your favorite channels in high quality picture and wonderful sound design. Satellite television "Tricolor TV" gives consumers big choice channels at high speed.

How to set up Tricolor TV yourself

Following the detailed instructions given in the article, you can set up Tricolor TV without anyone's help. Let's get started!

1. First, assemble the antenna according to the supplied instructions. After you have assembled the Tricolor TV antenna, you will need to install it. Choose a location for the antenna and fix it firmly there. If you are installing the antenna on a balcony, drill through the baffle and bolt the antenna to it. It is recommended to attach the antenna to the wall using self-wedging anchors.
2. The mounted antenna must be turned in the direction of the sun at about 16-17 hours of the day, while tilting it slightly forward (about 3-5 degrees). There may be obstacles in the way of receiving a satellite signal that will significantly distort or completely extinguish the reception of the signal. Such obstacles may include not only trees, fences, walls, etc., but also glass windows.
3. With the antenna mounted towards the satellite, secure it to the bracket, but don't tighten it all the way yet. Installing a clamp will allow you to freely rotate the antenna.
4. Connect the receiver to the converter with a cable. Now you can start setting up.

You need to tune the antenna to the Bonum 1 satellite. To do this, you need to set the transponder data in the receiver. It will search for a satellite signal for you.

1. Open "Menu", select "Install Antenna" or "Search Transponder".
2. Enter the transponder parameters (frequency - 12226; polarization - horizontal; flow rate - 27500).
3. Look at the type of converter (LNB) set in the settings. Correct data: converter type - "Single", local oscillator frequency - 10750.
4. Then open the “Signal Strength” (Scan) item. The sector scan method searches for a satellite signal. As you get closer to the satellite, the scale should increase. Here it is important to keep in mind the obstacles mentioned above. In modern tuners, there are usually two level scales: “level” (signal), showing the IF at the tuner input, the useful satellite signal and various noises; and "quality" - this scale shows the level of the useful signal according to the specified parameters.
5. The satellite signal is caught if you see the appeared level of the “Quality” scale, according to which the next setup step will take place. The "Quality" scale can be in any of the "Menu" items. It can be placed both vertically and horizontally. It depends on the brand of your receiver. One thing is certain: if the "LNB power" option is disabled, then the scale will show zero.
6. Start scanning the second scale from the position where you installed the antenna. Rotate it to the sides by 10-15 degrees. This needs to be done very slowly because it takes time to process digital signal. If it is successfully caught, the bottom bar of the "Quality" scale will be colored. Continue turning the antenna carefully until you reach the highest possible value.

If you did not succeed in catching the satellite signal the first time, then you can change the position of the antenna by raising it up or down. After that, you should repeat the scan from the very beginning.

On July 31, 2017, changes were made to broadcasting aimed at separating regional TV channels according to the relevant lists and designed to make viewing these TV channels more convenient.

To correctly display the list of TV channels, do the following:

1. Press the Menu button and select Settings.

2. Select "Factory settings" and press "OK".

3. Confirm the factory reset of the receiver by first pressing the red "F1" or "Info" button on the remote control and then selecting the "Yes" option.

4. After that, the receiver will reboot. Wait until the inscription appears on the screen as in the figure below and press the receiver's power button (Standby).

5. Select the languages ​​for the receiver menu and audio, and then click the "Next" button.

6. Select the operator "Tricolor TV" and click the "Next" button.

8. On automatic search make sure that the Tricolor TV antenna is installed (when standard connection the receiver to the antenna, it is recommended to leave the default settings), and click "Next".

9. Choose the region that suits you. 3 regions will be available for selection - "Main", "Moscow +0 h." and "Moscow +2 hours".

Attention! You must select one of the two regions - "Moscow +0 h." or "Moscow +2 hours" - Depending on where you live. In the first case, all TV channels will be broadcast according to Moscow time, in the second case, some TV channels will be broadcast with a time shift of +2 hours from Moscow time.

When choosing the region "Main", one informational TV channel will be saved in the channel list.

10. Wait until the search for TV channels is completed and save the found TV channels.

Relatively recently, we could only watch a few channels, the signal of which was caught by our antenna. Now, when television has become so progressive that access to channels is transmitted via satellite, the rays of which are caught by satellite dishes, we can see an endless number of programs. One of the most famous satellite TV companies is Tricolor TV. However, in order to take advantage of this achievement of science, it must not only be acquired, but also properly connected. How to do it yourself - read on.

To understand how to connect satellite TV, you need to understand what this technology is and how it works. Only in this case, you will be able to understand the meaning of all the actions we have described and perform them as accurately as possible.

If we simplify the description of the operation of such a system, then the transmitting center encodes information and sends it to the satellite, which in turn reflects the received data to satellite dish. Thus, your TV becomes available channels, the quality of which is at the highest level.

The main component that such a device possesses is a satellite dish. It is usually made of metal and has the shape of a concave lens.

Due to the shape of the antenna, all signals caught by it are reflected to one point, where the converter is installed. The signal is then redirected to satellite tuner which is called the receiver. This device decodes the received information into an understandable form and sends it to the outputs of your TV.

You can purchase the whole kit, which can be installed on one TV instead of the old receiver. Buy missing parts. Also, such a device is connected to two TVs and a tablet for one subscription fee.

These components are purchased in specialized stores. Further connection is made by the master. You can also install satellite TV with your own hands.

Satellite TV can be installed even where there is poor signal reception. For example, if you spend a lot of time in the country, then nothing will stop you from connecting it there. Also given type television works in Kazakhstan. Even Siberia can use satellite services.

Satellite position and setting Tricolor TV

The satellite sends a signal to the dish from a height of 38,000 kilometers. Its signal resembles a thin searchlight beam, which, unfortunately, cannot pass through walls, so if you choose the wrong place to install the antenna, it will not work.

So that the installation of the dish does not cause you questions, you must know that all satellites are above the equator line. Based on this, it can be understood that the mirror part of the dish should face south, so if your windows face north, it is better to set the antenna to the north. In this case, you yourself must conduct the wires in a way convenient for you. Only in this way, you can correctly install the device, and get an uninterrupted signal.

In addition to the fact that you need to accurately determine the direction, you need to calculate the diameter of the device. Most best size for a dish catching the Tricolor TV signal is 0.6 meters. You can use larger antennas, but installing them yourself will be problematic.

To properly install a satellite dish, you need to choose the right fasteners for the bracket. Its installation is carried out on anchor bolts, which will protect the device from vibration. Otherwise, any gust of wind can leave you without a signal.

How to independently connect Tricolor TV to a TV

After you have determined the place where the antenna will be installed, it needs to be assembled. For self installation such a device, the kit includes detailed instructions installation. You can also take advantage of our tips.

Assembling the satellite dish:

1. With the help of anchor bolts, a bracket is mounted on the wall or roof of the house. The size of the anchor bolts is selected depending on the strength of the wall and the strength of the prevailing winds.
2. Next, you need to put the converter in the holder. In this case, the holder must look down, otherwise snow and rainwater will accumulate in it, interfering with catching the signal.
3. Next, you need to connect the ends of the cable and the converter with an F-connector. This is done as follows: the outer insulation of the cable is stripped by 20 mm, and the inner by 12, a shielding braid and foil are placed parallel to the cable, the connector is screwed in as much as possible, and the sections protruding by more than 2 mm are cut off.
4. With electrical tape we attach the cable to the notch of the holder arc.
5. We seal the entire F-connector with three layers of electrical tape or a heat-insulating tube. For best quality sealing can use silicone sealant.
6. Next, you need to connect the plate to the bracket. To fix it, bolts are used that are not screwed to the end.
7. Now you can fix the cable on the bracket, leaving 1.5 meters of cable.

If you are installing a satellite set yourself, then when choosing the angle of the installation site for the azimuth and antenna, be guided by the data in the table, which is always included in the kit, for your city or locality. According to the instructions, run the cable from the converter to the receiver, and then connect the device directly to the TV. Try to do all the work correctly, as it will be quite difficult to reconfigure the device.

Preparatory steps before setting up Tricolor

After you have installed the satellite dish yourself and connected the receiver to the TV, you can begin to tune the antenna. However, before that, you need to familiarize yourself with some features of this work.

If you are concerned about the question: “Can I catch a signal myself?”, Then you need to know that the satellite is moving at the speed of the earth's rotation, constantly being in the same place relative to your house. Thanks to this situation, setting up satellite television is within the power of a simple layman.

If you want to tune the antenna without help, then it is advisable to purchase a new device called SatFinder. This prefix is ​​installed on the antenna, and it informs the tuner about the correctness of his actions.

To tune the cymbal to the maximum short time it is important to know that it is easiest to find the correct position of the antenna at noon. Also keep in mind that on a rainy and cloudy day, clouds weaken the signal, so on such days it is better to refuse to carry out these works.

The receiver is configured through a search in the menu, where the quality and signal strength indicators are located. To find a signal, you need to see the TV screen, or have a partner who will tell you which way to move.

Instructions: how to set up the Tricolor antenna yourself

When you have installed the antenna and done all the other preparatory work, you can go directly to the signal search. Remember to make sure that your partner sees all the necessary indicators.

In what order should the signal be searched for:

• Turn the plate mirror in the direction where the sun usually is at lunchtime;
• Next, put the plate in a vertical position, raise its “head” as high as possible and tighten the nuts.
• Twist and move the plate gradually, 2 mm, towards the position of the afternoon sun;
• When moving these millimeters, do not forget to stop in each position for a few seconds in order to have time to detect the signal;
• Do not forget that you must stand where you will not interfere with the passage of the signal to the dish.

If, after you have moved the antenna from the position of the sun at twelve, before it is at 14 o'clock, and you are unable to restore the signal, then you need to open the vertical nuts and move the dish down by 1 mm, and repeat all the steps. If you get lost, then you will have to repeat the entire setup process again.

When the signal quality scale or the TV tricolor picture appears on the screen, you can make the final settings. To do this, you need to gradually move the mirror, the picture on the TV screen will tell you in which direction. An ideally tuned antenna should give the parameters of each scale 70%.

We figure out how to independently set up channels on Tricolor TV

In order to properly set up the satellite dish, you need to adjust it using the marks on the screen. To do this, you need to perform some actions with the TV itself and the receiver.

How to enable a mark in the menu showing the signal level:

• Take the remote control of the receiver, and press "Menu";
• When the menu opens, find the "Install" item and click the "OK" button;
• Change the password, for example, to 0000;
• Next select " System settings, and click the "OK" button again;
• In the new menu, select the "Antenna installation" item and select it by pressing the "OK" button.

Next, we set up the satellite dish according to the instructions described earlier. In this case, both scales showing the strength of the signal must be filled at least 70%. If you can't align the plate correctly, check the cable connections.

After you make the connection, you can enjoy high-quality TV. To ensure that your signal does not go astray for a long time, constantly sweep accumulated dirt, water and snow from the antenna.

How to set up a Tricolor TV antenna yourself (video)

Installing satellite television Tricolor TV is not like that difficult task as it might seem at first glance. You can easily set up the antenna with your own hands. The main thing is to carefully and efficiently follow all our advice, and such work will take no more than 2.5 hours!

TricolorTV, like many companies that broadcast TV channels to users, uses a complex system of equipment and communications with satellites. It happens that there are problems due to which the receiver may lose the signal, and the user may lose the opportunity to watch television for a while. What to do and how to return the broadcast yourself, read on. _________________________________________________________________________________________

One of the most common causes of failures is hardware failure. Some software update comes out, or the plate is accidentally moved - and that's it, the configured list of TV channels fails, gets lost, or even turns out to be completely inaccessible.

The list of reasons for such failures also includes:

1. Bad weather preventing the equipment from receiving a good signal.
2. Incorrect position of the dish, obstacles in the path of the signal.
3. Update software, which stood "crooked".
4. Late payment by the subscriber.
5. Connecting new channel packages.
6. Failure to transmit the correct frequencies for the broadcast.
7. Breakdowns inside the equipment itself.

These are just some of the reasons. In practice, viewing can be difficult due to any, even the smallest, malfunction. Fortunately, this can be fixed without resorting to the help of specialists.

Self-configuration

If the channels suddenly go astray, and on your part all the terms of the contract with TricolorTV are met (there are no debts), the problem can be solved by reconfiguring the equipment yourself.

To start:

1. Make sure that the antenna is installed correctly and that nothing obstructs it - dirt, snow, etc. have adhered to it. The antenna was not rotated, not damaged, and all cables from it to the receiver are in working order without breaks and scuffs.
2. Open the info banner (f1 or i button) to check the signal strength your equipment is receiving. The value must be above 70 percent.
3. If the value is lower, try to slowly turn the antenna until the info banner displays the desired reception level.
4. After that, you can try to restart the receiver in a standard way- turn off, wait 10-20 seconds, and then turn on. Channel recalculation should happen automatically.

If the signal is still more than 70 percent, make sure that nothing interferes with the antenna, after which you can try to start automatic tuning channels:

1. Open the menu of your TV, go to "Settings".
2. Select "TV channels" - "Automatic mode".
3. Wait until the procedure of "recalculation" of channels is completed.

If after that you still have channels out of reach, and errors occur, you need to reset the receiver to factory settings:

1. Go to "Menu".
2. Select "Settings" or "About the receiver" (may vary depending on the receiver model).
3. Select "Factory settings" and confirm the reset.

Reset confirmation can occur either through the f1 or i button, after which you can press "Yes", or simply by pressing "Yes" after the question "Are you sure?" The method depends on which receiver model you have. Detailed instructions for each model can be found at the link: https://www.tricolor.tv/help/technical-issues/vosstanovlenie-spiska-kanalov/ .

If the channels are lost due to the fact that you have not updated the software, it is recommended to perform this procedure through a satellite or Internet connection.

Important! When setting up, some receivers force users to re-authorize the antenna - you will have to select the region, antenna settings, provider name, etc.

At the end of any of the methods, you should wait until the receiver completes the search for channels and save them.

If it still didn't work

In case you tried resetting to factory settings, and the channels are still not displayed, it is recommended to contact TricolorTV technicians. There are times when the user is simply not able to determine why the signal is lost or the settings are lost - this can be either a problem with the satellite itself from the Tricolor side, or a technical breakdown of smart cards and the receiver itself. Outdated equipment breaks down more often than new equipment, so it is recommended to replace only partially supported receivers with new ones every couple of years - TricolorTV allows you to do this with small surcharges.

Also, the channels get lost when the software update is not completed - the system can “close”, and only a qualified specialist will help to cope with this if the system reset did not give the desired result.

TricolorTV specialists provide support to their subscribers through the following channels:

1. Company hotline - available with a call via the Internet in the "Support" section.
2. A written request or an application to call the master - through the official website.
3. Call via Skype.
4. Online chat on the official website of the company.

It is recommended that you first read the instructions for TricolorTV and the receiver before contacting the technicians - perhaps it describes a unique way to fix the problem that you can apply yourself.
