How to organize viewing of Rostelecom TV on a computer

Previously, IPTV was a separate digital service available to everyone who connected to this service. Today, watching IPTV is possible as part of the Interactive TV package. Moreover, no separate fee is charged for this service - you can watch Rostelecom interactive television on your computer for free. There are two options to organize viewing of Rostelecom TV channels on your computer:

• Download and install a special player, the so-called IPTV player. This method is good because this program allows you to record video and save screenshots of what is happening on the screen, and also has a very simple, intuitive user interface.
• Or watch interactive TV on the Rostelecom portal Zabava.ru. This method has the advantage that it is not tied to a specific type of computer: after all, it is impossible to watch an IPTV player on a mobile device. Simply because there are no versions of this program for mobile devices, and it is unknown when they will appear. The Internet portal is always available, the main thing is that the device has access to the network.

We will discuss both of these alternatives, giving each just the right amount of attention.

Installing and configuring an IPTV player on a computer

To watch Rostelecom television on your computer, you need to download and install the IPTV player program. After downloading the distribution, you need to run the executive file IpTvPlayer-setup.exe.

Next, an installer window will open in which the user will be prompted to download Yandex.Browser and its components along with the player. You can refuse to download Yandex tools by unchecking the corresponding boxes in the IPTV “Settings”.

Problems installing an IPTV player

In some cases, auto-tuning of channels may not be carried out. In this case, you should go to the player settings and specify the network card that is connected to the Ethernet network. If several network cards are installed on your PC, when you first start the player automatically selects the first one from the list.

Advice! To update the TV program, you need to restart the IPTV player or right-click on the display and select “Update TV program”.

The IPTV player may also not work for the following reasons:

• The Windows antivirus or firewall recognizes this application on your PC as malware and blocks it. In order to fix this problem, you need to disable this software and check the player’s operation without them. If the program functions normally when the firewall or antivirus is turned off, you need to go into the settings of these services and change them so that they do not prohibit IPTV broadcasting.
• The DirectX graphics library may not work correctly with the IPTV player. To solve this problem, you should change it to the OpenGL library and watch TV on your PC without any problems. To change the library you need to go to the player settings. Next, you need to select “Advanced”. In the third column, the user must check the box next to “Use OpenGL instead of DirectX...”.

Possible problems

In some regions of the Russian Federation, Rostelecom subscribers may encounter an error in accessing IPTV. For example, the territory of the Crimean peninsula and the city of Sevastopol is still outside the coverage area of ​​RTK, so Crimean subscribers may not have access to the company’s services, even though they are located in Russia.

When a user encounters an access problem, Rostelecom recommends contacting the company’s technical support specialists. The provider does everything possible to ensure that subscribers are satisfied with the service, so any problems or problems are promptly resolved.
