Digital terrestrial television
The main difference between digital terrestrial channels and analog ones is the high quality of digital channels (the absence of noise, interference and repetitions) and a clearer picture - high noise immunity. I install antennas on the window in the houses, on the opposite side from the Ostankino tower. The data transmission protocol is designed so that the reflected signal is received without unnecessary data and you see an excellent quality picture.
DVB-T2 digital TV is ideal for large LCD and plasma TVs.
The list of digital terrestrial television channels in Moscow now includes 20 channels.
HOW TO WATCH DIGITAL TERRESTRIAL CHANNELS?
To receive digital terrestrial channels in Moscow and the region, it is necessary that the TV has a built-in digital tuner of the DVB-T2 standard (see specifications TV). Otherwise, you will have to buy an additional DVB-T2 receiver that connects to any TV via HDMI or composite (tulips or scart) input.
Digital reception essential channels is carried out on external antenna UHF range. In your apartment building cable home network (Akado, OnLime, etc.), most likely these digital TV channels will be on other (cable) TV frequencies that do not match the on-air frequencies shown in the table. It is required to start auto search for channels.
If the distance from the transmitter (Ostankino TV tower in Moscow and Moscow Region) to the TV is less than or about 20 km, then reception is possible on a room UHF antenna. Otherwise, you will have to use an external UHF antenna, possibly with an amplifier. It all depends on the height of your antenna and the distance to the TV tower. On a good outdoor UHF antenna with a low-noise amplifier, reception of digital terrestrial channels is possible at a distance of more than 80 km from the TV tower.

Television is the most important media for Russia. Residents of the country are accustomed to the fact that broadcasting of television programs is free of charge, and with the advent of paid channels, they began to worry whether they would lose their usual content. The government protects the rights of the population and creates a list of federal channels, which in any case must be shown free of charge.
Television in Russia
Regular television broadcasting in the USSR began in 1939. At first, it covered only the metropolitan region, but in 1951 the Central Television Studio was created, which provided the first program with a television product. After 5 years, a second channel appeared, and since 1965 a studio began to work to create curricula. Gradually, the number of editions is growing, new formats are appearing, and not only of an informational nature, but also of an entertaining nature, for example, KVN, “Song of the Year”. Initially, television was publicly available to all owners of television sets. Therefore, the idea of paid channels did not even arise among residents. Soviet Union. Free federal funds were distributed to all corners of the vast country, and only with the transition to a market economy did the situation begin to change. In 1988, the first commercial television company in Nizhny Novgorod goes on the air. Gradually, this process covered the whole country.
Social functions of television
Television is the most mass means of transmitting information, it is publicly available, has a high ability to influence the viewer. This leads to the fact that a large social burden is placed on TV. Main function television - informational. The first federal channel has the largest coverage of the population in the country, therefore it has the ability to quickly convey information to almost every resident. It is television for a long time was the most important source of information for people. Today, this championship is contested by the Internet, but so far its penetration and coverage have not reached 100%, so TV remains in the lead. Television broadcasting also performs such functions as cultural, educational, entertaining, ideological, integrative and educational. Such multifunctionality makes television highly demanded and necessary for the state and society. Therefore, it cannot be paid, as this would cause great social tension. But some television content may be the subject of profit. The need for self-sufficiency makes TV companies think about selling their product.
Pay and Free TV
All over the world, television begins its history with free broadcasting. The state invests in its development, which understand its high social significance. The federal broadcasters distribute their broadcasts for free, and only in the 70s does the idea appear pay TV. The first commercial television company was founded in the USA in 1973.

The problem of payment and free television increases with the development of cable and satellite networks in the late 90s.
The legislative framework
In 1997, Russia adopted a federal law on television broadcasting, which establishes the universal availability of television channels. However, the law did not say anything about paying for receiving television programs. Gradually, in the broadcasting cable and satellite companies, free federal channels were crowded with paid content. This led some TV companies to charge fees for providing access to federal channels, which any TV owner could watch for free. For example, the Tricolor company, whose federal channels in the package were paid for along with other channels, created a precedent and limited access to the programs of federal television companies. A wide response forced the government to adopt additions to the law that guaranteed human rights to free access to television broadcasting. The Ministry of Communications made a decision to amend the Law "On Mass Media and Television Broadcasting", in which, in order to ensure the rights of citizens, a list of free channels.

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 network of digital terrestrial broadcasting, in open access will appear more than twenty TV channels in excellent quality absolutely free. Which include obligatory federal television 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.
