• How to connect Megafon TV on a computer?

    Since its inception, television has been called by many a “window to the world”. Indeed, the way it is. But if earlier only home TV was used to watch TV channels, today all programs and programs can be easily watched on a computer or mobile device. At the same time, there is no need to wait for a long download due to buffering, as was the case when connecting to the Internet with low access speeds. There are a lot of operators providing television viewing services today, but many users believe that Megafon-TV on a computer is the ideal solution, although this service can also be used on other modern devices.

    "Megafon-TV": what is it?

    To begin with, a few words about the service itself for viewing television channels. Megafon-TV on a computer can be connected by several methods, which will be discussed separately. The most important thing is that the provider company Megafon approached the development of its broadcasting system in a very ambiguous way.

    The fact is that among the provided tariff plans, the user will not find packages with mandatory prepayment. Each plan is charged by viewing time (daily). By the way, the prices for one day of watching Megafon-TV on a computer or any other device are very symbolic. The list of packages and the cost will be given a little later.

    The second point is related to the fact that in the sense of connecting to the Internet, Megafon-TV works for free (without traffic). On a computer or mobile device connected to a dedicated line or VPN virtual network, the use of traffic is not additionally charged. Payment is made only for the time of viewing. This excludes unjustified overpayment in the event that the user does not watch programs and programs on some days for objective or subjective reasons.

    What devices does the service work on?

    Initially, the Megafon-TV service was not designed for computers. It was positioned exclusively as an application for mobile devices, which can still be downloaded for free from Google Play services or the AppStore.

    In the same way, you can simply install a special applet on modern television panels. True, for this, the TV must be equipped with the Smart TV function. With computers today, the situation is quite simple. It will be possible to download the desired application only after passing a simple registration (the Megafon-TV program on a computer will become available in your personal account).

    Some important settings and options

    Another important point is related to some of the capabilities of the service itself, among which the following are worth noting:

    • free trial period of 30 days with access to 50 channels;
    • TV guide (the ability to view programs that have aired before);
    • the presence of a catalog of films;
    • rental of films for viewing with a minimum payment;
    • the possibility of choosing the optimal package;
    • ease of setup and use;
    • full control over Internet traffic;
    • availability of a personal account for registered users;
    • automatic adjustment of the image on any device;
    • data synchronization;
    • no need to switch channels with the remote control.

    How to connect Megafon-TV on a computer: registration questions

    So, with the main aspects sorted out. Now, actually, about registration and connection of the service. There are several ways to do this, but in any case, you will need a valid mobile number.

    Clients of the mobile operator "MegaFon" can simply send an SMS or a voice message "TV" to 5500 to complete the registration. As a result, a text notification with an activation code will be received. After that, you need to install the application on your smartphone or tablet and enter the code to start watching TV.

    The second option is to go to the official website of the company and select the registration section there. Again, you will have to specify the phone number to which the response SMS message will be sent. If you are not a subscriber of the Megafon operator, it's okay. Just enter your number and password, after which it will be assigned a virtual ID.

    Unfortunately, when trying to register, for example, in Ukraine, nothing will work. It is not possible to change the country code in the mobile number input field, and as it is already clear, Ukrainian mobile numbers, even if there is an operator code, are not recognized. Although the system notifies that the message has been sent, alas, nothing happens (the service is valid only on the territory of the Russian Federation).

    Trial period and basic packages

    If the user has successfully registered, he can immediately log in to the system and start watching TV immediately after confirming the identification code (by default, free access to the “Basic” package with 50 channels is provided).

    Among the other available packages, the user can choose one of the following:

    • "Children's HD" - 19 channels.
    • "Kino HD" - 20 channels.
    • "Amedia premium HD" - 2 channels.
    • "Sports HD" - 8 channels.
    • "Cognitive HD" - 17 channels.
    • "18+" - 3 channels.
    • "Our football HD" - 1 channel.
    • "Basic" - 22 channels.

    How to watch Megafon-TV on a computer?

    Since in this case we are talking about watching TV on a computer, you need to link it to your registration record, after which you can watch it directly from any web browser.

    To do this, in your personal account, you need to download and install an additional browser plugin called VeriMatrix ViewRight Plugin (this is the Megafon-TV program on your computer). There is one more nuance.

    If the TV does not support the Smart TV function, watching Megafon TV on a computer can be made more comfortable by connecting a home terminal or laptop to the panel via a universal HDMI cable or using other inputs and outputs for this purpose.

    Setting up the relaying of image and sound to the TV is easiest done in Windows 10. In the system tray, you need to click on the notification call icon (the farthest icon on the right), and then select the image transfer tile to another screen. In this case, if desired, you can use several modes.

    If you experience problems with sound, you should enter the appropriate playback device settings and set to use the TV speakers (the corresponding HDMI audio device will appear in the list when connected).

    Billing and payment

    As for payment issues, all packages are charged daily. And those who think that you can watch Megafon-TV for free will have to be upset right away: only the main package is free, the connection to which is provided without payment for a period of 30 days for review in order to interest a potential client. But even if you look at the current tariffs, it is safe to say that they are not only low, but simply ridiculous:

    • "Children's HD" - 9 rubles / day.
    • "Kino HD" - 9 rubles / day.
    • "Amedia premium HD" - 7 rubles / day.
    • "Sports HD" - 5 rubles / day.
    • "Cognitive HD" - 9 rubles / day.
    • "18+" - 9 rubles / day.
    • "Our football HD" - 7 rubles / day.
    • "Basic" - 5 rubles / day.

    What to do if Megafon-TV does not work?

    Finally, consider the problem of why Megafon-TV does not work on a computer. Initially, even if registration is completed, you should pay attention to installing a plug-in for the browser, since without it browsing will not be possible. In some cases, the setting may not be activated on its own, so you need to enable it yourself in the appropriate add-ons section. Although it is claimed that for most browsers like Chrome or Opera the plug-in is not needed, and the broadcast can be watched without it, this is not always the case. The browser may be outdated. Without installing the add-on, you can simply try to update your browser or use a different one.

    Sometimes Megafon-TV does not work on a computer, as stated on the company's website, also due to the presence of a connection to a VPN, as well as when using an IP proxy server (or an Internet proxy that acts as an anonymizer) in the settings of the IP access protocol. In this case, you just need to uncheck the use of a proxy (including for local addresses).

    Finally, in some cases, there may be a problem with the plugin itself, which crashes all the time. In such a situation, you should use a different browser or try to disable the existing blocker (for example, AdBlock).
