Instructions
Step 1
Firstly, all people who want to connect to digital television, the question arises: do you need some kind of special TV? Where can I get it? And how much does it cost? The answer will please everyone. No special TVs are needed. An ordinary modern "box" with a standard antenna input, scart-input, LF-input (tulips), S-Video-input, etc. will do. With their help, a decoder set-top box is connected to the TV.
Step 2
The installation process is as easy as connecting the antenna to the TV and you can handle it yourself without overpaying for installation. Simply insert the cable with one end into the dedicated input on the set-top box, and the other into the TV into the corresponding input.
Step 3
Secondly, people ask what additional equipment is needed to connect digital TV? It depends on your TV and the provider from which you will connect the service. As a rule, you need to purchase one of the types of receiver. This will depend on what type of VU you are connecting and what will be the source of the signal. The receiver can be connected to a cable, satellite dish, computer networks (WiFi, Ethernet). Terrestrial digital television can also be a source. Based on the foregoing, we can conclude that, in addition to the receiver, you may also need a satellite dish, cable analog TV, Internet connection via one of the listed networks. There should also be an antenna for the UHF range. That is, in fact, all the equipment.
Step 4
As for the payment, you will have to pay for the purchase of the necessary equipment one-time. This will be the biggest cost. You can also use the service of installing, connecting and configuring equipment. Or you can do it yourself for free. In addition, you will have to pay monthly for your chosen channel package, which is generally not expensive at all.
Step 5
Before connecting, you need to select a service provider. Check out all DH operators in your city. Ask for a consultation. Ask for the opinion of your friends who are already using this service. Watch the TV for yourself to get a more accurate picture. In addition, some vendors may give you a presentation and show and demonstrate the benefits of their equipment. This, of course, must be agreed in advance. Now, knowing what you need, you can safely go to the store or to various Internet sites and choose exactly the digital TV that you need.
Step 6
To watch digital channels, no additional setup is required on your TV. It will be enough to select AV-input or HDMI-input as a signal source, depending on which way of connecting the set-top box you have chosen. How to choose the right signal source will be written in your TV manual. Most often, selection is made by pressing the AV or SOURCE button on the remote control. Changing channels and adjusting the volume while watching can be done with the remote control of the digital set-top box and TV. To be able to watch not only digital, but also analogue programs, connect the antenna input of the TV to the Cable Out (or RF Out) connector on the digital set-top box and set up the analogue programs on the TV, as described in the instruction manual for your TV.
Step 7
You can use a number of functions to set up your digital set-top box. Most often, the set-top box is already set up at the time of purchase, but if you want and need to, you can reconfigure it. To set the language of the menu, sound, subtitle, go to System Setting and click on the Ok button. In the System Setting menu, select the Language Setting line and click on the Ok button. Use the arrow buttons to navigate the menu and select the language you need. Confirm your choice by pressing the Ok button.
Step 8
Before you start watching digital TV, you need to search for channels. To do this, select the appropriate line and click Ok. Set the desired parameters in the channel search menu. Search mode - Manual, frequency - 386000 kHz, bit rate - 6750 kB / s, QAM type - 256 QAM. Turn on network search. After setting all the settings, start the search by clicking the Ok button. If you enter all the parameters correctly, a colored signal level indicator will appear. After finishing the search for channels, press the Ok button, and then Exit until you completely exit all menus.
Step 9
To connect a digital set-top box, connect a TV cable to the set-top box's Digital In. Connect the A / V cable between your TV and set-top box. Insert the access card into the slot on the attachment, which is located on the back of the case. Turn on the power of the set-top box.
Step 10
You will then need to manually set the local time. To do this, in the menu that appears on the screen, cancel the automatic channel search: use the cursor to go to the No option and click on Ok. Select the System installation menu item and click on Ok. Then select the line Set local time and press OK again. Go to the Use GMT line and use the arrow buttons on the STB remote control to set the Disable option.
Step 11
If you have any problems with the set-top box, receiving analog or digital channels, carefully read the corresponding paragraphs of the instructions of the set-top box or TV. If the difficulties persist, contact your hardware and service provider.
