Independent connection and configuration of a router, set-top box for IPTV

If the user knows a little about how to configure the equipment of his home digital network, he will be able to cope with connecting interactive TV on his own. Unfortunately, the Rostelecom set-top box works on the principle of clearly identifying the data channel. Therefore, to properly configure the network, you may need instructions for the router.

Setting up the router

The main thing that will have to be changed in the router settings is the port or their group to access the IPTV protocol . To do this, in the corresponding settings block you need:

• indicate the number of the physical port to which the Rostelecom set-top box is connected;
• change the IGMP proxy parameter according to the provider's recommendations.

Important! If the Rostelecom set-top box is connected with a cable that directly enters the apartment from the provider’s box in the house, you will not have to make any equipment settings.

Setting up the set-top box

How exactly to set up channels and start using the Rostelecom set-top box will be explained in the instructions for its operation. When you first start the device, it will independently check the firmware version and, if necessary, download a set of updated software.

• the set-top box turns on;
• on the remote control you need to press two buttons OK and TV simultaneously until the latter blinks twice;
• you need to enter the four-digit code for linking the remote controls, which is indicated in the operating instructions for the TV.

You can find the desired combination by searching. To do this, hold down the OK and TV buttons, after blinking twice on the keyboard, dial 991. Then you need to press the channel up button. With each click, the remote control will change the access code. When you select the one you want, the TV will turn off. Once this happens, to bind the remote control, just click OK.

READ How to disable television or pay channel Rostelecom

The equipment is configured only for Rostelecom for smart TV. This means that you won’t be able to connect to another provider using it. Likewise, devices from other companies will not work with RT.

Basic rates

The price consists of two parts: payment for equipment and a package of channels. There are a total of five tariff plans available. Over time, their names and prices change. Therefore, it is better to make sure that the information on the official website is up to date.

• Starter – 320 rubles;
• Optimal – 420 rubles;
• Advanced – 520 rubles;
• Premier – 620 rubles;
• Maximum – 1,700 rubles (includes absolutely all options and additional services available to users).

Sometimes the company organizes promotions for users of other services. For example, you can connect TV 2.0 from Rostelecom along with the Internet. The total amount for two services will be less than for each of them separately.

Equipment

You signed the contract and purchased the console. First, you need to understand the package – what is included in the equipment, and whether this is sufficient for connection.

1. Actually the console itself.
2. Power adapter.
3. Remote control complete with batteries.
4. HDMI cable, VGA cable (also called tulip cable), patch cable.
5. Convector SCART.
6. Accompanying documentation with warranty card.

Is it possible to watch Rostelecom without a set-top box?

Starting in 2021, RTK subscribers have the opportunity to watch television programs without even using it. This option is possible if you activate the Wink service. This service is an interactive TV received via the Internet. You can get many advantages from it:

• Choose your own subscription based on your interests.
• Receive channel viewing as a gift.
• Change service packages every month.
• In addition to television programs, get access to more than 5 thousand films.
• Download content to mobile devices.
• Manage viewing and more.

If you want to use the Wink service on your TV, then you need a Smart TV. Most modern TV models have this technology. So you can watch broadcasts from RTK without additional equipment.

Setting up the remote control and synchronizing it

After installing and configuring the equipment, you need to check whether the remote control is synchronized. It allows you to perform basic actions and control the TV - adjust the sound, brightness and contrast, change channels. Otherwise, you will have to use the TV remote control. In some cases, this is inconvenient, since you have to use two remote controls at once.

The remote control is synchronized in two modes:

1. Manual, when the configuration is performed directly by a person;
2. Automatic, when all codes are entered by the receiver.

In manual mode, the code for synchronization is entered manually. It is used mainly for older TV models. Codes are provided on the Rostelecom website.

The automatic setup mode on the IPTV set-top box starts after successively pressing the TV and OK buttons. As soon as the codes match, the TV will turn off. For further work, you need to save the settings by clicking on the OK button again.

Interactive TV Rostelecom - how to control the cost and prevent overpayment

1. Carefully re-read the contract, familiarize yourself with the tariffs for all types of services, and also determine the time of their use (sometimes services can be cheap when connected, but after a month the situation changes)
2. Check the active status of connected services
3. Do not make rash operations with equipment - sometimes one key press on the remote control can be enough to increase the cost of the package by almost a quarter.
4. Study and actively use the “Service Management” menu so as not to be a “dummy” and know what you are connecting.

If you have any problems determining the tariff package, or you do not agree with the amount indicated in the receipt you received, you can call the hotline 8 (800) 450-01-50 , and the company’s employees will give a comprehensive answer to all your questions.

IPTV errors: what do they mean?

In rare cases, errors may occur in the operation of digital TV, about which the system informs the user with appropriate notifications.

1. The error “No IP address” means that there is no connection (the signal does not pass through) to the Rostelecom server. In this case, we check whether there is Internet, if everything is fine with it, we set up the router. Or we check the balance: the service could simply be disconnected for non-payment.
2. Only a few channels work - this means that the payment for digital TV is overdue, you are left with only basic functions.

To join the world of digital interactive TV, you only need to connect a set-top box, which is very easy to do if you follow the recommendations described above. In addition, instructions will be included in the accompanying documentation for the set-top box.

IPTV without set-top box

Rostelecom subscribers can receive IPTV service without a special set-top box, but the apartment must have Internet access.

2. We register an account on the Zabava website and confirm registration via email.
3. Select your region.
4. We connect the interactive TV service.
