Options for connecting NTV Plus sports channels
To gain access to channels, an NTV Plus antenna, which is more often called a satellite dish, must be connected and configured. The cost of connection will depend on the number of TVs on which the broadcast will be broadcast. A standard connection allows you to watch channels on one TV, you can pay to connect two, the next steps will be to expand to six TVs.
Additionally, subscribers purchase a set-top box or TV module. The online store on the official website offers a TV Module, a standard TV set-top box and an interactive TV set-top box. The latter allows you to pause the broadcast and rewind.
All three options are required to access NTV Plus. You can take them with you on trips to the country or on a visit. But a prerequisite will be the presence of a connected NTV Plus antenna at the new channel viewing point.
The new NTV Plus project “Online TV” allows you to access channels via the Internet. An antenna, set-top box or TV module will not be needed. A sports package is also available with this type of connection. The project started during the holiday season. The main goal was to achieve mobility; NTV Plus subscribers could watch important programs without being at home.
The service operates only in Russia. To access, you need to install the application on your TV or gadget. The application is provided on a paid basis, the total cost is based on the number and nature of connected channels or packages.
The application works on devices running Android and iOS, but does not work on the Linux operating system. The application is not tied to one device; all channels will be broadcast in digital quality. When viewing on a computer, installation of additional programs is not required.

Connection to NTV Plus
To obtain permanent access to NTV Plus channels, you must become a subscriber of the company and purchase the necessary additional equipment.

When choosing equipment, it is worth considering what functions are important, how many TVs you plan to connect, and what their technical capabilities are. Not all TVs have connectors for TV modules, which are convenient because they do not take up space and are inserted directly into the TV.
