Nowadays, to watch TV channels you no longer need an antenna, or even the TV itself. Now you can enjoy your favorite TV programs from any device that has stable Internet access.
All Big Four operators offer their own options for connecting TV via the Internet. Megafon did not stand aside.
Megafon TV is a media portal that allows you to watch various subscription channels online, as well as films and TV series from the operator’s catalog.
Let's take a closer look at what this service is and how it works. Let's talk about channel packages, subscription costs, connection methods on different devices.
Megafon TV - television of the 21st century
It is not difficult to notice from the name Megafon TV that the service was created by the mobile operator MegaFon. More recently, only its subscribers could subscribe to this service. But now anyone has the opportunity to purchase this type of service and use it.
Megafon TV provides access to a huge variety of television channels using the worldwide Internet, which can be used both on the TV and on other gadgets - from personal computers to smartphones. This service is a real boon: housewives will be happy to watch their favorite soap operas, avid sports fans will stop missing sports events, and you will also stop being tormented by tedious boredom on the road!
It is worth noting that the device does not need to be equipped with a SIM card, but only subscribe to it. You can use the operator and provider you want, but you must have access to the Internet. You will connect to the broadcasts using the login form (username and password) on your device. Let's look at how this happens below.
If you use the services of the MegaFon provider, then you will not be charged for the traffic used in your home region. And traffic from other operators must be paid in full.

Megafon TV on mobile devices
In order to watch something on your phone or other device, you need to install the MegaFon.TV application and be connected to the service. Subscribers of the MegaFon operator can activate the service automatically with just one free SMS message to number 5500 with the text “tv”. You can also connect directly from the app.
Android platforms, just click on the “Send” button, as a result of which the message will be automatically sent, and after the response arrives, the user will have access to the system.
For people using Apple , the procedure is a little more complicated. To authorize, they will have to follow the link in the pop-up window in the application options.
Subscribers of other mobile operators will first need to register on the MegaFon.TV website. And after that they will be able to connect to the service from any device.
How to connect
Use step-by-step instructions:
- Go to the website.
- There is a “Registration” button in the upper right corner. Click on it.
- A window will appear with fields to fill out.
- Enter all the data that the system requires - phone number, password (you need to create one), SMS code for confirmation.
- Next you need to decide on a set of channels. In the top menu, select the desired tab - all packages, movies, TV series, for children.
- The directory will open.
- A separate card with a description has been created for each offer. Here you can immediately see which packages are provided with a trial period.

Megafon TV on a tablet
Pleasant appearance and clear navigation are perfectly combined in the Snowflake interface used in the application.
You are presented with six options in the main menu:
- "Media library";
- "Movies";
- "Search";
- "TV";
- "Program";
- "Subscriptions";
- "Check".
These elements appear on top of the ongoing broadcast, making it very convenient to manage and work with the interface in the application and continuously monitor the screen.
Setting up Megafon TV
In the application, according to the established settings, the “TV” tab first opens. The most important processes take place in this tab. TV shows are broadcast here, previous and subsequent programs and information about them are shown, as well as announcements. Unfortunately, the application does not have the function of viewing past programs, and you will not be able to view upcoming ones. But in the “Movies” section you can rent a movie. According to the developers, it is possible that a recording function will appear in the subsequent development of the application.
The broadcast quality can be adjusted. Channels will be transmitted even with a slow or intermittent Internet connection, but the quality will be lower.
Switching between channels occurs by scrolling up or down; you can also use the TV program guide in the main menu or get quick access to TV shows from the Megafon TV channel grid.
In the application, channels are depicted not by their name, but by their logos. This may make it difficult to watch channels you haven't seen before.
If you forgot what channel or at what time a program is on that you really wanted to watch, you can use the “Search” function in the broadcast grid of TV channels.
The “Media Library” tab displays movies that you have rented and are available for viewing during the rental period. You can use them like in any other media player: scroll back and forward, pause.
You can rent movies in the “Movies” tab. There is no specific total price shown here. It depends only on what kind of movie you want to rent, and its amplitude is quite large. You watch the film you borrowed as many times as you want, but there is a limit - 2 days. You can also purchase a movie from your computer and later watch it, for example, on your phone. Very convenient, you must agree!
You can subscribe to available Megafon TV channel packages in one of the menu sections. You pay for them daily, so you don’t have to pay in advance for a long time. Moreover, this is not recommended. You can even purchase a specific package for just one day to watch a specific program. The price is very affordable, and such actions will not cause difficulties.
Despite the previous paragraph, do not forget to occasionally look at your balance in the “Account” tab. If you watch TV shows on TV, then money is still withdrawn from your mobile account. Be careful!

MegaFon TV on other devices
Watching programs on a computer requires installing the Verimatrix ViewRight plugin. But it is not at all necessary to have it in order to simply manage your account.
In the browser, in addition to the above functions, several new elements await you. It differs from the mobile version, first of all, in the presence of a personal account with implemented management of both devices and users, with access to the current user.
A computer always has more options than a phone. Therefore, the transition through channels and programs has been improved here. TV shows are divided into categories. Viewing is available in a browser window and, of course, in full screen mode.
On the TV , Megafon TV uses the Dune HD media player. It also supports both cable and wireless Internet connections. Not long ago, support for Smart TV was introduced, which is very modern and valuable for people using this technology. Another advantage of TVs is full HD quality, which will not leave you indifferent.
