Satellite coordinates tricolor center.  Self-tuning of a satellite dish to receive Tricolor TV

Today, Tricolor TV is one of the most popular and sought-after Russian satellite operators. Therefore, if you decide to buy , then we will be able to help you fully, since in our online store it can be purchased along with everything necessary for installation, including self-installation. If you prefer to entrust this matter to professionals, then the installation of Tricolor TV in Moscow and the Moscow region will be carried out by our specialists on the very next business day after placing the order.

How to install tricolor TV yourself

So: you have fulfilled your intention buy tricolor tv in moscow and now you need to install it. Where to start!? In such cases, our recommendations will help you:

· First of all, you need to start assembling the plate, which is easy to do according to the instructions supplied by the manufacturer with this device. If it is not there, then just take a closer look at the satellite dishes on neighboring houses and try to assemble your dish according to their principle. We are confident that you will cope with this task without problems, since it is difficult to make mistakes in the assembly!

· Now you need to decide where you will place your antenna. The first thought that comes to most owners satellite dish– install it outside the window, closer to the TV. However, this option cannot always be considered successful. The fact is that all satellites are located above the equator, which is on the south side relative to the territory of Russia, so ideally your antenna should be directed to the south. But this does not mean that only windows facing strictly south are suitable: it is enough that it is simply visible and not blocked by trees or tall buildings. If there is a tall branchy tree in front of your south-facing window, you live on the ground floor, or there is a “skyscraper” located close to the windows facing south, then the only option to properly install a satellite dish is to place it on the roof of the house or on the balcony at the neighbors. As for installing Tricolor TV in the country, everything is much simpler there, since you can always find such a place forsatellite dishso that it would be directed to the south (without diverting from the topic, we can advise, if you find it difficult to choose a place,invite a specialist so that he can correctly assess the situation).

· Let's assume that all conditions are met and you are going to install a satellite dish outside the window. To do this, you need to attach a special support to the installation site - a bracket on which your antenna will hang. The bracket can be mounted on anchors or fastening screws with dowels with a diameter of 10 - 14 mm. At the same time, for greater reliability, use all holes intended for fastening.

· Now that the support is securely fastened, do not forget to install a converter on your antenna from tricolor satellite TV set. Then, screw one end of the wire (from the kit) onto the converter, which is already on your antenna, and connect the other end to your satellite receiver via the LNB IN connector.

· Now you can hang up your antenna. At the same time, tighten the nuts horizontally and vertically, but not all the way, so that the satellite dish can be moved with little effort, but at the same time it does not fall off the fasteners.

· The next step is to connect the Tricolor TV receiver to the TV, which must be done in accordance with the included instructions.

· That's all for now, come back to installed antenna and point it south. As a hint, let's say that the Sun is in the south at noon or at 13 o'clock in the afternoon, depending on what (“summer” or “winter” time) the country lives in at the time of installation.

Start moving the satellite dish across the horizon smoothly and without jerking, while checking to see if a signal appears on the receiver. Then raise or lower the antenna and begin crossing the horizon again.

· When the signal is received, achieve it best regards and in this position, tighten all the nuts on the antenna.

· AND finally in automatic search find all channels from satellite.

· We can recommend a simpler option: look at how your neighbors have installed the Tricolor TV satellite dish (NTV Plus is also possible) and install yours in the same way. At the same time, try to correctly observe all angles of inclination horizontally and vertically.

Detailed instructions on how to set up Tricolor TV yourself. Starting from choosing a place to install the dish, ending with setting up the receiver.

We choose a place to install a satellite dish.

The most important part of installing Tricolor TV yourself is choosing a location and the ability to mount the antenna.

The first thing we need to determine is the location of the EUTELSAT 36B satellite, for this we can use a compass, it is located in azimuth. You can also determine the direction to the satellite by examining the Tricolor TV antennas installed by your neighbors.

After determining the installation location of the antenna, we need to make sure that there are no factors in its direction that affect the quality of the signal; the angle of elevation to the satellite from the horizon is 27°. If near the installation satellite dish there is a building or forest belt with tall trees and the elevation angle of 27° does not provide throughput signal, then in the chosen place most likely will not bring the desired results. In this case, you need to consider other possible places for installing Tricolor TV, increasing the distance to a possible obstacle to the signal, or install the dish higher, for example on the roof.

Another factor in choosing a place to install Tricolor TV is a durable mounting surface (concrete, brick, timber). The installation location of the antenna bracket will influence further operation, because... if the bracket is installed on an unstable surface external factors, such as strong wind, can collapse the Tricolor TV antenna or simply tear out the bracket. Also, do not forget about the danger if your antenna is not installed in a private sector, but, say, in a multi-story building, where there may be people or cars under your windows.

Assembly of the Tricolor TV satellite dish.

It will be more clear to assemble the antenna if you watch a video where everything is explained step by step and in an accessible way:

Setting up the Tricolor TV signal.

After we have determined the installation location and assembled the Tricolor TV dish, we install the antenna bracket and check the reliability of its fastening to the wall.

Now we can install the antenna on the bracket and tighten the adjusting bolts so that the Tricolor TV antenna moves in the vertical and horizontal planes with some force.

If you do not have a device for tuning to a satellite, you need to go to initial installation receiver before selecting an operator. We select “Tricolor TV” operators from the list and ask our friends or relatives to follow the “strength” and “quality” scales.

The closer the TV is to the installation site of the satellite dish, the easier it is to independently configure the Tricolor TV signal. In this case, you can independently monitor the indicators of the scales on the TV.

The next step for setting up is that you need to approximately set the position of the antenna in the direction of the satellite with an angle from the horizon of 27°; for this you can use a protractor. Now we gradually move the antenna in a horizontal and vertical position and fix it for 5-10 seconds, watching the indication on the “quality” scale. We set the maximum possible reading on the “quality” scale and tighten the adjusting bolts without knocking down the plates.

It is best to tighten them alternately, 1-0.5 turns at a time, this way you will achieve uniform tightening of the fixing bolts and avoid re-tuning antennas.

This completes the setup of the antenna for the Tricolor TV satellite. All that remains for you is to configure the Tricolor TV channels. To do this, select “search” in the menu and save the found channels.

With the onset of the summer holidays, for many residents of large cities, life gradually moves out of town. One of the IT attributes of country life is the availability of satellite television. Some people try to install and configure their antennas on their own, similar to those of their neighbors, some resort to the services of installers, some calculate the installation parameters using a ruler on Google maps.

For those who are trying to install and configure satellite TV on their own, I would like to introduce the Geonames.ru service, which helps determine which direction to point the satellite dish.

The logic of the work is as follows - the user selects satellite operator or a specific satellite, then determines the antenna installation point on the map, based on this data, the service calculates the direction and other installation parameters.

During the development process, it turned out that similar services already exist abroad, the most popular of which is Dishpointer.com, which is also used by installers. I tried to make my service aimed at Russian-speaking and less technically trained users, in fact, for housewives.

Next, I will tell you how the service calculates the necessary parameters and what difficulties I had to face during the development process.

In order to install the plate yourself, you need to determine several parameters:

• Horizontal direction (azimuth)
• Vertical direction (elevation angle)
• Converter rotation angle

True and magnetic azimuths

True azimuth is calculated using the formula

K = PI/180;
a = latitude of place * k;
b = longitude of place * k;
c = satellite longitude * k;
Azimuth = (PI+arctan(tan(b-c)/sin(a)))/k;

Magnetic azimuth is oriented towards the magnetic poles of the Earth, which do not coincide with the geographical ones and is necessary to determine the direction along magnetic compass. In addition, magnetic poles change over time, and compass needles can also be affected by so-called magnetic anomalies.

In this regard, surveyors calculate tables of magnetic declinations (deviations of the magnetic azimuth from the true) for each “whole degree” for each year. geographic coordinates(180*360=6480 possible values). Thus, to obtain the magnetic azimuth, it is necessary to add or subtract the magnetic declination value for the given coordinates to the true azimuth.

As a source of the magnetic declination table, the Geonames.ru service uses the file magdec.bgl for 2012 - this is a declination table in binary form for the Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004 flight simulator.

In order to visually display the direction to a satellite on a map, you must keep in mind that the map is flat and the Earth is round. Therefore, the direction line will be an arc. The Geonames.ru service uses Yandex.Maps, in which you can set the geodesic=true parameter to display a line as a geodetic curve.

Elevation angle and plate tilt angle

The elevation angle is calculated using the formula

K = PI/180;
a = latitude of place * k;
b = longitude of place * k;
c = satellite longitude * k;
Elevation angle = arctan((cos(b-c)*cos(a)-0.15126)/sqrt(1-cos(b-c)*cos(b-c)*cos(a)*cos(a)))/k;

It would seem that it is enough to tilt the antenna plane in accordance with the elevation angle and we will catch a TV signal from the satellite. But it's not that simple. This statement will be true if a direct-focus antenna is used, in which the angle of signal reflection is perpendicular to the plane of the antenna. In the private sector, offset antennas are common, the signal reflection angle of which, depending on the design, is 110-116 degrees. We often come across antennas with a reflection angle of 116 degrees.

Schematically, the difference in antenna designs and directions of the reflected signal can be seen in

Important additional information.

1. We draw your special attention to the fact that viewing of Tricolor TV programs is controlled using the receiver and remote control remote control from the receiver. The TV remote control is only needed to turn on and off the TV itself. Switching channels, calling up information, and settings are made only on the receiver itself and only using the receiver's remote control.
2. The receiver's remote control, like other electronic equipment remotes, is infrared and operates in direct line of sight from the device at a distance of about 5 meters. To control a receiver located in another room (room), you must additionally purchase a radio remote control for satellite equipment (specific to your model satellite receiver). The radio remote control operates at a distance of up to 100 meters.
3. The encoded signal coming from the satellite is processed by the receiver, and not by the TV. The TV serves only to display the image from the receiver on the screen. But, you can connect several TVs to one receiver, so:
A) To watch the same channel turned on on the receiver, you can connect several television points (all TVs will show the same channel).
b) To watch different channels on different TVs Each TV requires its own receiver to be connected.
4. Every weekend, updated signal decoding keys are sent from the satellite to the receivers, so it is recommended to leave the receiver running (not turn off) from Friday to Sunday. If you were unable to do this or simply did not use your receiver for a long time, then some channels (or all) may not be shown (the receiver does not have updated keys to decode them). Then the steps are completely simple: turn on the receiver on a channel that does not show (DRE encoded channel) and leave it until the picture appears. Usually the picture is determined within an hour or two, but it can take about a day. After this procedure, all channels should be identified.
5. The inscription on the TV screen “DRE Encoded Channel” means that the signal from the satellite is received by the antenna and transmitted to the receiver, but there are no decoding keys for this signal. You need to turn on the encrypted channel and wait for the picture to appear.
The inscription on the TV screen “No signal” means that the signal from the antenna is not reaching the receiver. To identify the cause and then eliminate it, you need to check the cable connecting the antenna and the receiver and check the position of the satellite antenna itself (whether it is physically shifted even a centimeter or two from the direction of the satellite).
6. Registration of the receiver and activation of the “Start” card of additional channels of the “Optimum” package is necessary for decoding channels, i.e. for the channels to start showing. The search for a signal from the satellite is carried out on the equipment itself, which will receive it regardless of registration. Therefore, we recommend that you first catch the signal and only then register.
7. We ask you to periodically carefully monitor the messages on the Tricolor TV information channel and in the “News” section on the official website of the Tricolor TV company (messages about the possible absence of broadcasting due to equipment maintenance, innovations in channels and services, etc.).

1. Connecting the satellite receiver to the TV.

A) By high frequency(HF), using an antenna cable.
Connect the receiver to the TV via an antenna cable through the antenna socket on the TV and the “RF Out” connector on the receiver. Connect the receiver's power cable to electrical network 220V, turn on the power switch on the rear panel of the receiver. The word “BOOT” lights up on the receiver’s display and after a few seconds the channel number lights up. If the receiver is in standby mode (turned off), then the time on the receiver display lights up (for example, “13-40” or any other). Then press the “Power” button on the receiver’s remote control. The channel number lights up on the receiver display (for example, “0001”, since all our receivers are already configured, the channels are programmed and the equipment is ready for use). Click on the TV remote control button “0” (or any other - this will be the channel on which your Tricolor TV operates) and start searching for channels (tuning channels, scanning frequencies - the description is in the instructions for your TV). Scanning will automatically stop at the receiver's operating frequency. You will see a picture on the TV screen:

Inscription on the TV screen "No signal" on the receiver remote control
b) At low frequency (LF), using a cable with a Scart connector or a “bells” (“tulips”) connector.
We connect the receiver to the TV with the appropriate cable. We connect the receiver's power cable to a 220V electrical network and turn on the power switch on the rear panel of the receiver. The word “BOOT” lights up on the receiver’s display and after a few seconds the channel number lights up. If the receiver is in standby mode (turned off), then the time on the receiver display lights up (for example, “13-40” or any other). Then press the “Power” button on the receiver’s remote control. The channel number lights up on the receiver display (for example, “0001”, since all our receivers are already configured, the channels are programmed and the equipment is ready for use). Click on the TV remote control“A/V” button to switch to video mode or select the corresponding connection connector in the TV menu additional equipment(the description is in the instructions for your TV). You will see a picture on the TV screen:

Inscription on the TV screen "No signal" means the receiver is connected to the TV correctly. Please note that the inscription should look exactly like this, because this is exactly the picture the satellite receiver produces when there is no signal from the antenna. To be sure, you can click on the receiver remote control“MENU” button, a dotted rectangle lights up on the receiver’s display, and the receiver’s menu appears on the TV. Press the “EXIT” button on the receiver’s remote control and the menu disappears.
2. If the inscription looks different, it means that the TV does not see the signal from the satellite receiver, i.e. You connected something wrong.
3. Press on the receiver remote control Channel 01 (buttons “0” and “1”). With this action we turn on the open (FTA) information channel of Tricolor TV, which will immediately begin showing the picture as soon as you receive a signal from the satellite. Information about the included channel is automatically displayed at the bottom of the TV screen in a blue field (channel name, channel number by general list, current program, broadcast time).
4. Press on the receiver remote control red button twice "i", we see two scales “Signal Strength” and “Signal Quality”. Initially, the scales are empty, showing 0%, because signal in at the moment No. Using these adjustment scales, when searching for a signal from a satellite, we will focus on the quality of the received signal.
A picture is visible on the TV screen: the block at the top displays information about the current program and the tuning scales that interest us, the block at the bottom displays information about the name of the included :

2. Selecting a location for installing the antenna.

The main criterion choosing a location for installing a satellite dish is a clear view in the direction of Eutelsat satellite W4 (36.0E), i.e. to the South. Clear view means the absence of obstacles (trees, buildings, etc.) on the imaginary line connecting the satellite and the antenna. Approximate data on the length to the obstacle and the height of the obstacle are shown in the figure:

Antenna installation close to the TV location and accessibility for the user simplifies the process of installation, configuration and possible subsequent maintenance. Usually the antenna is installed on a wall next to a window, balcony or loggia, on the roof of a house. You can even install an antenna on the ground))) Installation indoors, under a roof, behind glass is excluded, because no signal will be received.
If you use a high-quality cable with a thick copper core and double braid, which has minimal signal attenuation and sufficiently high protection from external influences, then cable length from the antenna to the TV should not exceed 100m. For longer lengths, it is recommended to install signal amplifiers.

3. Antenna assembly.

Assembling the antenna according to the assembly instructions. Converter It should be placed in the holder with the connector facing down so that no sediment gets inside. coupling The holder is attached closer to the working part (“head”) of the converter. We tighten all the adjusting bolts on the antenna, but so that the position of the antenna can be changed within small limits.

4. Mounting the antenna to the wall.

Take into account the fact that when tuning, the antenna will have to be rotated in the vertical and horizontal planes, and surrounding objects (house wall, balcony railing) should not interfere with this movement.
1. We make markings on the surface for mounting the antenna bracket. Drilling holes using a hammer drill. Screw it on bracket to the wall. You can choose fastening elements yourself depending on the wall material, antenna size, and wind load.
2. We install the assembled satellite dish on the bracket.
3. We prepare the cable (both ends).

A) We strip 15mm of the top insulating PVC layer from the edge of the cable without damaging the shielding braid.
b) The shielded braid together with the foil is tucked in the opposite direction.
V) The internal insulation is cut off by approximately 10mm.
G) Screw the F-connector onto the cable until it stops.
d) We cut the central core (conductor) so that it protrudes beyond the edge of the connector by 2mm.
4. We screw the prepared cable to the converter. You can additionally insulate the connection from moisture using electrical tape and silicone sealant.
5. Additionally, to prevent the cable from dangling, you can attach it to the bracket with plastic ties or the same electrical tape.
6. We screw the other end of the cable to the “LNB IN” connector of the receiver.

5. Setting up the antenna for the satellite.

Attention! The search for the Tricolor TV signal from the Eutelsat W4 (36.0E) satellite is carried out using equipment (antenna, converter and receiver) and is in no way related to the registration of this satellite equipment.

Registration of the satellite receiver and activation of the “Start” card of additional channels of the “Optimum” package is necessary for decoding television channels broadcasting, i.e. so that the channels start showing television pictures. We highly recommend first catch the signal and only then register.
Setting up a satellite dish It’s easier to do with an assistant, because You will have to navigate the actions taken based on the image on the TV. If the TV is close to the antenna installation site and you can see the image on it, then you can tune it alone.
The process of self-tuning is greatly simplified by the SatFinder Professional (Satellite Finder), which is used to search for a satellite signal (purchased or rented in our office).
1. Determine the direction to the South. To do this:
A) You can use a compass (the best and most accurate option).
b) You can focus on the direction of your neighbors’ satellite dishes if they use Tricolor TV (a conditional definition, and therefore the tuning sector will be large and you can search for a signal for a long time).
V) It is possible to approximately determine the direction to the satellite using the sun. For St. Petersburg and the Leningrad region, the direction to the satellite coincides with the position of the Sun, approximately at 13:30-13:45 summer time or 12:30-12:45 winter time (conditional definition, and therefore the tuning sector will be large and You can search for a signal for a long time).

2. Check that there are no obstacles in this direction.
3. Position the antenna vertically and slowly begin to move it horizontally to the left (to the east). Please note that the signal delay is 2-3 seconds. After moving the antenna 1 cm, you need to wait 2-3 seconds. By turning the antenna quickly, you risk never seeing the signal!
4. We look at the TV screen at the “Signal Strength” and “Signal Quality” adjustment scales.

A) If the values ​​of the tuning scales are empty, then you have not yet received a signal. Then we continue to rotate the antenna.
b) If one scale is full and the other scale is empty, you have caught the wrong satellite or there are obstacles. Then we continue to rotate the antenna.
V) If the scales are filled and the pictures are background no, first check the channel that is turned on (the Tricolor TV channel must be turned on). If this is an open information channel “Tricolor TV”, but there is no picture, then you have picked up another satellite and you need to continue turning the antenna. (To check, press the “OK” button on the receiver’s remote control and select an information channel from the list).
G) As soon as you catch a signal from the Tricolor TV satellite Eutelsat W4, on the screen (in the background, behind the blue information fields menu) TV picture will appear open information channel"Tricolor TV", and the tuning scales will be filled. The picture on the TV screen will look like this:

5. After finding the signal, we fine-tune the satellite. We rotate the antenna with a smaller amplitude (several millimeters) horizontally (left - right) and vertically (up - down). We achieve maximum readings on the tuning scales (with self-tuning, you can achieve 80% on both scales). Please remember that signal strength depends on weather conditions. In high clouds, heavy rain or snowfall, the signal level may be greatly reduced, down to 0%. Therefore, in clear weather, it is worth making sure that the settings are accurate and periodically clearing the antenna of snow and ice.
6. We tighten all the adjusting bolts firmly so that the antenna does not rotate anymore.
7. Searching for a Tricolor TV signal from the Eutelsat W4 satellite is simplified by using a special device SatFinder Professional (Satellite Finder). This device can be purchased or rented from our office.

6. Satellite receiver registration and activation .

After completing the antenna setup, press the “Exit” button on the receiver’s remote control twice to clear the menu.
It's time to register the receiver and activate additional channels " ».

Please note thatregistering a satellite receiver and activating the card“Start” of additional channels of the “Optimum” package is necessary to unblock channels, i.e. so that the channels start showing television pictures. The search for a signal from the Tricolor TV satellite is carried out using equipment and is in no way connected with registration.

We highly recommend first catch the signal and only then register.
Equipment registration is carried out in our office (address: St. Petersburg, Podezdnoy lane, building 5A, Pushkinskaya metro station) according to working hours (Mon-Tue from 11 to 17, Wed-Fri from 11 to 19, Sat-Sun days off) .
Attention!!! From June 1, 2010, registration is possible only with passport data (if you have a DRE ID receiver and the secret code of the Start card) with the signing of an agreement for the provision of television broadcasting services.
The unique 12-digit DRE ID number of the receiver can be found on the sticker on the packaging box; on a sticker on the receiver body; in the general menu of the receiver in the “Status” submenu. Secret code“Start” activation cards for viewing the “Optimum” package for the first year are under a protective layer.
Attention!!! After registering the equipment, it is necessary to undergo confirmation within 1-2 (One or Two) days. Confirmation is carried out to verify the registered user data (full name and DRE ID of the equipment). The user must call from the contact (mobile) phone number specified during registration toll-free federal number 8-800-333-13-11 (daily from 10 to 22 Moscow time) and inform the operator of your desire to “Confirm registration”. You will be asked to provide your full name and DRE ID of the receiver.

7. Your further actions:

A
Now we turn on using the channel switching buttons (“CH” and two buttons “+” and “-”) or using the number buttons of any of the free channels Basic package(for example, “ORT”, “Russia-1” or “NTV”) and we see a picture on the TV:

You leave the channel on (the TV can be turned off, but the receiver cannot be touched) for a period of several minutes to several hours until the broadcast picture appears (we recommend leaving the receiver on overnight). Periodically look at the TV and wait for the broadcast to start. At this time, the Tricolor TV technical center will process information on registering your satellite receiver and activating the “Start” card of additional channels of the “Optimum” package. Next, the information is transmitted to the Eutelsat W4 satellite (36.0E) and from the satellite is sent to your receiver. Your receiver will receive signal unlock codes and the broadcast picture will appear on the TV screen.

After the channels of the free Basic package (“ORT”, “Russia-1″ or “NTV”) start broadcasting, you turn on using the channel switching buttons (“CH” and two buttons “+” and “-”) or using the number buttons any channel additional package Optimum (for example, “Kinopokaz”, “Television”, “ZooTV”) and you see a familiar picture on the TV:

You again leave the channel on (the TV can be turned off, but the receiver cannot be touched) for a period of several minutes to several hours until the broadcast picture appears (we recommend leaving the receiver on overnight). Periodically look at the TV and wait for the broadcast to start. At this time, the Tricolor TV technical center will process information on registering your satellite receiver and activating the “Start” card of additional channels of the “Optimum” package. Next, the information is transmitted to the Eutelsat W4 satellite (36.0E) and from the satellite is sent to your receiver. Your receiver will receive signal unlock codes and the broadcast picture will appear on the TV screen.

There is nothing complicated. Settings in the absence of obstacles takes about 15-30 minutes, activation of channels from several minutes to 8 hours. And then all that remains is to enjoy watching your favorite programs.

Enjoy watching!

Attention!

Channels of the “Basic” package will not be activated:
A) If you first registered the satellite receiver ID and activated the “Start” card for additional channels of the “Optimum” package, but were unable to independently receive a signal from the satellite within 5 days after registration.
b) If you registered the receiver and activated the “Start” card, but did not turn on the receiver within 5 days after registration.
At the same time paid package The “optimum” of additional channels is activated independently. If the channels of the “Optimum” package are not shown, you need to tune in to a coded channel of this package(for example, “Television” or “Movie Show”) and wait for the picture to appear.
To activate the “Basic” package need to be produced reactivation. Write a letter to the service technical support"Tricolor TV" on email [email protected] or call 8-800-333-13-11 (daily from 10 to 22 Moscow time). Ask the operator about reactivation and provide your registration data (DRE ID of the receiver). The Tricolor TV technical support service will process your request and reactivate the packages for 5 days. You turn on the encrypted channel of the free package (for example, ORT, Rossiya-1, NTV) and wait for the picture to appear.
When waiting for the activation of any channel of any package, it can take from several minutes to several hours, because... time depends on different conditions, for example, the number of subscribers in the network.

Satellite TV Today there is one in almost every home. In Russia, Tricolor TV is currently considered the most popular and reliable satellite television provider. The principle of operation of such television is to transmit data via an Earth satellite from the transmitting center to the receiving device to the consumer. Data transmission is of high quality. Ensures picture and sound quality correct installation and equipment setup. For installation and commissioning you can call service specialist, but you can install and adjust the system yourself.

The plate is the fundamental element satellite system. It is a metal structure of a parabolic shape, concave inward. This form was not chosen by chance. Signals arriving from the satellite, reaching the dish, are concentrated in one central point - in a circular convector, which allows receiving high level communications. From the convector, information travels along 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 antenna should be installed according to the following rules:

1. We select an available trajectory from the dish to the satellite. To do this, mentally draw a line from the antenna in the direction of the transmitting device. There should be no trees, buildings, structures, structures along the path of the trajectory line that could block the path or distort the signal. Remember! Satellite signal cannot pass through walls.
2. We fix the antenna at a high altitude point. The roof of the house, the open side of the balcony room, will help it become. 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 for the plate is south.
4. We avoid places on the building where snow or moisture accumulates. These can be spillways, slopes and eaves 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.

We begin the installation of a satellite dish

Having chosen a location, we proceed to install 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 enhance stability. Any wind vibrations of an insecurely fastened bracket will lead to deformation of the entire structure and a decrease in image quality.

After installing 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.

Stages of connecting cable and convector:

1. We strip the outer insulating material on the cable at a distance of approximately 15 mm from the ends of the cable, and 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 screw 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 secure the cable wire to the holder with insulating tape or zip ties.
5. We seal the connector to prevent moisture from entering it using sealant or insulating tape.

At this point, the external 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.

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 connector.

The RF is connected to the TV socket intended for the antenna and to the “RF Out” socket on the receiver. When you plug in the receiver, the word “BOOT” and the TV channel number 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.

The algorithm for attaching LF to a satellite receiver is the same as for HF. The only thing is that after the “BOOT” message appears, press the “A/V” key on the remote control and wait for the “No Signal” message to appear. If the inscription appears, then everything was done correctly. Other information that appears on the screen of the television device indicates that the equipment is assembled incorrectly.

To ensure that the image is of high quality

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

1. On the receiver's remote control, press the "Menu" button.
2. In the “Installation” column, click “OK”.
3. Enter "0000".
4. In the pop-up window, click “OK”.
5. Select “Antenna installation” and click “OK”.

In the “Antenna Installation” column 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 low level signal may be due to 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 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 a satellite. Therefore, we continue the search. After filling the scales to the desired value, the image will appear on the monitor. When the setup is complete, tighten the bracket mounting bolts until they stop.

Setting up the Tricolor TV device yourself does not take much time and does not require any special skills or abilities. In general, it will take no more than 3 hours to put satellite television into use. The final stage of setup is to register the satellite receiver itself.

We call and register

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

• Full name subscriber or passport data;
• device installation address;
• receiver details.

Remember! Registration of the receiver can be done through the Tricolor TV website

A technical support specialist will check the correctness of the data and confirm it. During the working week, the inscription “DRE Encoded Channel” may appear on the television screen. After the specified period, the broadcast of “Tricolor TV” will begin.

Setting up the Tricolor TV satellite is completed independently. You can enjoy watching your favorite channels in high quality images and excellent sound design. Satellite television "Tricolor TV" gives consumers a large selection of channels in high-speed mode.
