Megafon TV option cost

In addition to the fact that each channel package has its own subscription fee, it is necessary to say a few words about the cost of tariffs that are associated with this option.

It is worth noting that the service has a subscription fee for users who do not own the above-mentioned tariff plans, which is 5 rubles per day (for a month this works out to approximately 150 rubles).

This price includes watching all free TV channels, but you need to pay extra for paid content - we have given the price list above.

Excerpt from the Terms of Service.

Also, under the terms of another promotion, newly connected users are given a grace period of 30 days, during which they can watch channels from the “Main” package completely free of charge.

Disadvantages of the package

Despite the abundance of interesting features, the special Megafon TV program package has several negative aspects, which an interested audience of consumers should definitely learn about. Some shortcomings will slightly spoil the overall impression of using the service, but I would like to hope that the list of disadvantages will not affect the final decision to purchase the package. The list of shortcomings includes the following points:

1. The channels presented do not have names in the list, because only logos appear in the catalog - this may be a problem for some viewers, especially if they do not know which symbols belong to a particular channel.
2. Since television is broadcast over an Internet connection, the image may disappear due to a sudden lack of Internet on a particular device - the main reasons may be problems on networks that are not in any way dependent on the clients, a faulty router, loss of Wi-Fi or a zero balance on the client account ; If you plan to watch TV, then the issue of permanent Internet will need to be resolved in advance.
3. The broadcast of a particular program may be carried out with delays or pauses - everything will depend on the speed of the Internet connection; often a similar situation arises during prime time for users who have chosen a tariff with a minimum information transfer speed; therefore, adjust this indicator in advance to watch programs without “brakes” and inconveniences.
4. By ordering an additional service, you can rent any film, but you should understand that Megafon’s virtual catalog contains a limited number of films - therefore, little-known films released several decades ago will have to be searched in the vastness of the virtual space on your own.
5. Often compact devices have a smaller screen diagonal compared to a conventional plasma TV - this must be understood in advance so as not to subsequently spoil your viewing of your favorite program with a small image.

In which areas is wired Internet from Megafon available?

Although Megafon is a well-known company, it has a rather small coverage area. This is mainly the Moscow region and the regions closest to the capital, as well as the Krasnodar Territory and other southern regions. The network is absent in most regions of the Far East and Far North - in areas with low population density.
