Setting up the Tricolor receiver. "Tricolor TV"

Analog TV with certain leaps and bounds is a thing of the past, and it is replaced by IPTV and satellite broadcasting systems. All of them are in great demand among the population, as they provide excellent image quality, they do not depend on natural and weather factors (the weather has little effect on the signal), and also provides hundreds and thousands of additional services and subscriptions.

Of course, our consumers first of all pay attention not only to the quality of the services provided, but also to their cost. It is desirable that the latter was as low as possible. The domestic company "Tricolor TV" is characterized by an excellent correlation of the price and quality of the services being realized in the sphere of digital satellite television. Surely many of your friends or acquaintances are connected to their network.

Equipment and bundles of channels at Tricolor are very cheap, and therefore can afford the majority of potential subscribers. However, our users would not be so, if they did not make any attempts to somehow save. Today we will consider the tuning of the receiver "Tricolor", which under ordinary conditions is carried out by specialists.

Nothing particularly complicated in this, so you will surely cope.

Assembling a Satellite Antenna

Referring to the attached instruction, as accurately as possible, assemble the antenna. At the selected point (preferably on the elevation), firmly fix the base. On the loggia or balcony, the device is attached only from the outside of the wall, using anchor bolts. On the last floors, it is possible to install on the roof. If you live in a private sector, do not mount the antenna under trees or massive structures that may have a negative effect on signal reception.

How to install?

Once you have assembled the antenna, it should be fixed to a suitable base, deployed in the direction of approximately 4-5 hours, then deflect the device four to five degrees down. Once again, make sure that in the chosen direction for at least fifty meters there are no massive objects that can have a negative impact on positioning accuracy.

The likelihood of this is not so high, but sometimes even a window glass can significantly degrade the reception quality. In this case, you can not set up the receiver "Tricolor" at all desire.

On the bracket the antenna is fixed so that it can turn only under the influence of a certain force. A simple clamp can be installed under the device. If you do this, simply loosen the fixing bolts as much as possible: the antenna will be very convenient to turn, leaning on the device mentioned.

Some misconceptions

Often you can hear that the antenna with the receiver should be connected only by a copper cable, since it better conducts the signal. It should immediately be noted that this kind of misconception has remained since the times of analog television, when the type of cable and in fact had a significant impact on the quality of the signal.

The fact is that digital information is transmitted from the satellite. The digital signal is completely indifferent, by cable of what quality it will be transmitted. If everything is really bad, then you simply will not see any picture on the screen. No strips, "snow" and the like, as it was in the days of analog television towers, will no longer be.

How to prepare the cable?

For the signal to pass, you need to properly prepare the cable. It is often possible to observe when users are extremely inaccurately polishing contacts, pulling out half of the metal braid, and then are surprised at the lack of whatever response there is from the equipment. How can this be avoided?

• Starting from the edge, gently peel 15 mm. It is very important to try not to damage the shielding layer.
• We fix the braid, again, trying not to break it.
• Follow the cable to the end of the screw F-connector

Important!

However, there is one exception. If you use a good copper cord with double shielding and a powerful central core, then the antenna can be located at a distance of one hundred meters from the TV. This is especially important if you have on your hands the receivers of "Tricolor TV" Full HD, which are very demanding on the data transfer speed.

In the case where you bought a Chinese product, where the thinnest threads of incomprehensible metal are used as a braid, and iron, slightly coated with a layer of copper, acts as a core, you will have to purchase a good amplifier in addition. If this is not done, then no setting of the Tricolor receiver will help.

It is also often thought that to ensure a good signal level, the antenna needs to be raised as high as possible. This opinion has also remained since the homemade wire receiving devices, which actually showed the best result, if they were fixed on the roof of the house.

Raising the satellite dish to an unattainable height , you do not guarantee a good reception at all. Just the opposite: if it is located closer to the ground, the folds of the terrain can act as a prism, improving the direction of the signal.

Getting Started

Before you configure the Tricolor, you need to perform certain manipulations with the antenna itself. First, connect the receiver to the converter with a cable, after which it can be adjusted.

Consider the procedure by which you can connect to the satellite "Bonus 1". To do this, the device must enter the data of the transponder, with which you are going to find the satellite.

The data are as follows:

• The frequency is 12226.
• The polarization parameters are horizontal.
• The flow rate is 27500.

Basic settings of the receiver

Since you are setting up the Tricolor TV receiver? First go to the menu by clicking the appropriate button on your remote control model. We go to the item "Antenna installation" or "Transponder search", then enter in the corresponding fields the data we provided above. If you do not know about where and what menu item is located, simply study the instructions to your equipment.

It is very important to know exactly what type of converter you have in the settings. Select the "Single" option. In the field of the local oscillator settings, enter the number 10750.

Watch TV without a receiver

Is it possible to watch Tricolor without a receiver? Strangely enough, but it is possible. The fact is that modern TVs often have tuners supporting DVB-S2. They will receive the signal from the satellite. But! Only to accept, about decoding of speech does not go.

Most likely, watching "Tricolor" without a receiver on such a TV you can, if it is a question of basic free channels. However, even this is very doubtful.

Adjust the signal levels from the satellite

Further adjustment should be based on the item "Signal level" (Scan). Almost all modern models of tuners display two positions. Note the "Level" scale, as it displays the parameters of the inverter at the input. Accordingly, the "Quality" parameter displays the level of the useful signal (frequency, speed and FEC). In the first case, a full signal is displayed, including etheric noises, "white noise" and other "husks", which affects the reception quality negatively.

Prior to connecting the converter, the signal level on the first scale will be zero (most often). Many tuner models have only one scale. If a mixed signal is displayed, it is gray. In the case when the equipment is tuned to a satellite, the color changes to green or yellow. Here is the basic setting of the receiver "Tricolor TV".

Starting the satellite search

First we are looking for a satellite on the "garbage" signal. The higher the desired object, the more noticeable the performance. To find what you are looking for, you should scan the sector in which it is hypothetically located. Note that a tall tree, a barn or other obstacles can increase the signal level on the first scale. Of course, it's worthwhile to focus only at the moment when the "Quality" scale starts to react or the color of the chart changes in the first column (as we discussed above).

"Thin" search

A more accurate search, as one might guess, is conducted according to the level on the second scale. Important! If you have some other firmware of the Tricolor receiver, or it belongs to some other model range, all the menu items we have mentioned can be located in different places, and the levels on the scales can be horizontal or vertical. Be sure to check if the "LNB power supply" option is active, otherwise the equipment will show a complete absence of the signal. Scanning should start from the same position in which the antenna was installed.

To achieve the best result, in the process of searching it should be rotated by 10-15 degrees in different directions.

Other Tips for Finding a Signal

Note that the antenna should be rotated as slowly as possible, since the digital signal is processed by the receiver with a decent delay. Look at the level of the second scale: when you catch the required frequency, it will color. In this case, with the utmost care and caution, twist the plate until the reception level becomes maximum. Once again, we warn that the receiver for "Tricolor" (HD-quality) is demanding for this parameter, so pay close attention to this.

If you did not immediately catch the satellite, try moving the antenna slightly up or down the mast on which it is fixed. It is possible that you will have to make several calls at once. Of course, the most obvious proof of the success of the setting is the picture on the TV screen.

As soon as you achieve the maximum level of reception, you must carefully tighten the fastening nuts. Twisting them must be extremely accurate, since the slightest displacement of the antenna up or down, as well as scrolling along the axis, can cause a sharp deterioration in the signal level from the satellite.

Here's how to connect the receiver Tricolor.

Note!

Many fans who tried to put the antenna "by eye", nothing good from this venture did not come out. So, you should take care of the setting carefully. In addition to all the above, we offer you a couple of other useful tips. First, in no case take the time: turn the antenna should be literally in millimeters, constantly monitoring all indicators.

For setting it is preferable to choose only a clear and sunny day. Since the plate "Tricolor TV" can be found even in the most remote village in the forest, look at where the converters are directed to the neighboring equipment.

You can act trickier: on a sunny day, look at where the shadow of the converter is focused. As practice shows, this simple trick allows you to shorten the setup time to 10-15 minutes. But people sometimes get hung up for days, trying unsuccessfully to aim at the satellite! Unfortunately, you can pay attention to the shadow of the converter only in the fall and winter, when the sun is low. Representatives of "Tricolor" themselves say that when setting up, it is necessary to focus on the southern direction.

Well, the tuning of the Tricolor receiver is complete! Enjoy your views!
