Satellite television is becoming more and more part of the life of Russians. Millions of citizens are already watching satellite TV channels, many are still thinking about purchasing equipment for receiving a television signal. It is they who have many questions about the choice of equipment and the operator company.
Instructions
Step 1
The main criteria when choosing equipment for receiving satellite channels are its cost, tariffs of the operator, the quantity and quality of received channels. The latter does not mean the quality of the signal, it is always high, but the quality level of the broadcast channels.
Step 2
The most famous operators in Russia are Tricolor TV, NTV-plus, Raduga TV, Orion Express, Platforma HD. The most popular and demanded is Tricolor TV, whose number of subscribers has already exceeded 7 million. The cost of a set of equipment without installation will be about 7-8 thousand rubles, with installation - 9-10. You can watch about 80 channels. The first year broadcasting is free (payment is included in the price of the kit), then you will have to pay 600 rubles every year. Ten TV channels are free. In terms of price and quality ratio, Tricolor TV can be considered the most successful option. When purchasing equipment, purchase mpeg-4 receivers such as the GS-8300 and DRS-6000.
Step 3
In terms of the quality level of broadcast channels, NTV-plus looks the most attractive. The "Light" package for 99 rubles per month will allow you to watch 37 channels, including federal ones. The set of equipment will cost you about the same amount as for Tricolor TV. At the same time, you will be able to watch all channels for two years for free. Having paid for the "Starter" package (600 rubles), you can further watch 14 channels for free: Channel One, Russia-1, Russia-2, Russia-K, Russia-24, Petersburg - Channel 5, Karusel, NTV, NTV-PLUS Sport Soyuz, TNT, First entertaining STS, Law TV, Disney Channel, Muz TV.
Step 4
The proposals of the satellite operators "Raduga TV", "Orion Express", "Platforma HD" have their advantages and disadvantages. So, a set of equipment for watching Platforma HD channels will cost you about 15 thousand rubles plus 5 thousand rubles of monthly subscription fee per year, for this money you will get the opportunity to watch channels in HD format (high definition television).
Step 5
Consider antenna installation and correct orientation when selecting an operator. Its size is also of great importance. Despite the fact that a dish with a diameter of 55 cm is enough for reliable reception of Tricolor TV and NTV-plus, consider purchasing an antenna with a diameter of 90 cm. They do not differ too much in cost, but you will be guaranteed reception in heavy snow conditions. thunderclouds, partial icing of the antenna mirror.
Step 6
If you are good at technology, you can easily install a set of satellite equipment yourself. Detailed installation instructions and satellite coordinates can be found on the Internet. You will need an assistant to fine-tune the satellite. If you choose Tricolor TV as an operator, you will be able to receive NTV-plus channels on the same dish (and vice versa), since both operators broadcast to the European part of Russia from one satellite. But to decode the channels of the second operator, you will need a special module inserted into the receiver's slot.
