Why does a Smart TV slow down and freeze?

Advantages and disadvantages of MEGOGO

Compared to other similar video resources, MEGOGO has both many advantages and a number of disadvantages. All the strengths and weaknesses of the application noted in user reviews are summarized in a table for ease of analysis.

Let's summarize - with minor shortcomings that are largely technical in nature, MEGOGO provides much more possibilities, including convenient user settings. And payment is taken only as compensation for the lack of advertising.

Registration of a personal account

Online cinema can be easily connected via a computer or laptop. If your plans include viewing the site using different devices, you should first register a personal account and only then connect other gadgets.

Registration of Megago via a computer is available regardless of what operating system is installed on it, as well as what browser is used. Creating a personal profile can be done in two ways. Let's look at each of them in detail.

The first registration method involves performing the following actions:

1. We write down the name of the site in the search engine or enter the address of the main portal megogo.ru.
2. In the upper right corner we find the key that says “Login” and click on it.
3. On the login page that opens, find the phrase “Registration” and click on it to go to the registration page.
4. In the form that opens, write down your email or phone number. You must use real information, otherwise you will not be able to confirm the creation of your personal account when you receive a code in an SMS message or email.
5. We create a password that will be used in the future for authorization and write it down in the appropriate window. It must contain at least 6 characters.
6. Write down your nickname (made up or real name).
7. We put a check mark in the empty box to confirm that a real person is registering.
8. Clicks on the button labeled “Register”.

The second way to register is to do the following:

Why does Megogo not work on a Samsung TV?

Users of Samsung smart TVs often experience problems with Mego. This is usually due to an application glitch; rarely, the problem is with the TV itself. If megago stops working or freezes, check to see if other apps are working. If they work, then the problem is in the video service itself.

Megogo errors are accompanied by:

• the appearance of a black screen is the most common problem for Samsung TVs;
• the program freezes;
• cannot log into the application;
• the application “kicks out” the user and displays a system error.

To reduce the risk of problems, you must register as you install the application, following the instructions. That is, you first need to download Megogo through the store, then log in and then set the rest of the settings.

Let’s immediately clarify that you can use Mego’s paid and free services only on TVs with Smart TV. In order for a video service to start showing a film, series, television channel or original video, you need to download the application, then go through legal registration on the site. Next, add the code from the TV and register this new device to your account. You can also register the TV in your profile via phone number or email address. Let's take a closer look at how the Mego TV profile is registered.

1. Connect your TV to the Internet via cable or Wi-Fi.
2. Find the category “Video”, “Entertainment”, “Video and Cinema” - depending on the TV model.
3. Find the Megogo app and download it.
4. Log in to the app by clicking on the three bars in the top left.
5. Find the "Login" tab and click on it.
6. Then select the inscription: “By phone number”, “By email” or “Connect via website”. In the first 2 cases, the code will be sent by SMS or by mail. In the latter, the connection code of numbers and letters will appear directly on the TV screen.
7. Go to the website megogo.ru/profile and open the “My Devices” tab.
8. In the appropriate field, enter the code that was on the TV.

In a few minutes, Mego will register on the TV. The device will be added to the list of account devices. Further, no action is required to activate it. Your personal account will open automatically. You can watch your favorite TV channel or different types of content on connected gadgets with the whole family, including on the Smart TV that you connected.

Turning on Smart TV

All smart TVs have two basic operating modes:

• Regular television. You watch TV channels from a TV tuner or antenna. TV channel programs cannot be rewinded or watched in recordings. In essence, this is the mode of a TV that everyone is familiar with. It starts as soon as you turn on the device;
• Smart TV mode . This mode allows you to combine the functions of a standard TV, the Internet and interactive communication.

To switch to Smart TV, take the remote control and press the corresponding key on it.

Depending on the TV model, the location of the keys may differ.

On Samsung devices, the button to go to Smart TV looks like this:

Fig. 2 – Samsung remotes

Philips remote controls have a special “Smart TV” button:

Fig. 3 – Remote controls from Philips

On remote controls for LG TVs, you need to press the “Menu” to display the smart TV functionality window.

Fig. 4 – LG remote control

If you are using a TV from another manufacturer, we recommend reading the instructions that came with the device. It describes how to correctly enter the smart television mode.

Smart TV mode looks like an interactive menu that displays preinstalled programs, file manager icons, browser icons, and settings.

To control the menu, use the navigation keys on the remote control (up-down and right-left).

Why register with Megogo

The interactive portal gives access to television in different languages. Although the company's main office is located in Kyiv, it can also be successfully watched by residents of Moscow, Riga, Warsaw, Baku, Chisinau and other cities. The service has launched its own sign language translation program for people with hearing problems.

At Megogo Cinema, registration opens up wide opportunities for users to receive entertainment content and all its services. By registering, you will be able to:

• Connect and disconnect subscriptions.
• Set up parental controls.
• Insert a promotional code that reduces the price.
• Pay for the service using a linked card.
• Watch movies online or download them.
• Participate in the bonus program.

If we talk about promotional codes, they will help you save significantly on views. The user can log into www.megogo.ru/ru/code and, after registration, activate a discount on a film or subscription. You can watch a good film for free; hits and bestsellers are shown in a paid format. Advertising is disabled when you pay for a subscription.

Resource selection

Experienced film buffs have several good sites in their browser bookmarks where you can watch a film in decent quality and with a minimum of advertising. One such resource is MEGOGO. Watching movies on MEGOGO is convenient. It has a clear filter system for searching films, thematic selections are presented, the film collection is regularly updated, and an attractive loyalty program is available for registered users. But, of course, it is most comfortable to watch movies and megogo net programs by subscription. Activating it gives you access to thousands of films: you can watch all of this legally on MEGOGO for a fee. It's convenient - but is it profitable?

Features of the MEGOGO application on TVs

The resource's film library contains hundreds of thousands of films, TV series and cartoons from global film producers, but the developers don't stop there - the application's collection is dynamically updated with new releases. The online IPTV service provides access to broadcasts of about 200 TV channels from around the world: popular programs, shows and series.

Users can watch some content for free. Services are also provided on a paid subscription basis.

Navigation in the service is simple and concise; a built-in player is used to demonstrate videos, creating a home theater effect. The viewing control provides the functions of fast forward/rewind and pause, there are options for adjusting picture quality, turning on/off subtitles.

On a note! The user can add any movie he likes to “Favorites” so as not to spend a long time looking for it to watch. In the “I’m Watching” tab, the viewing history is saved, where unwatched films are placed in the first positions.

In addition, the Megogo user can be one of the first to watch a new film in the film industry by purchasing content on a pre-order basis (the “Pre-order” tab). Renting a film for 7 days will cost a significantly lower amount. At the same time, the number of views within the paid week is not limited, but after the rental period expires, the content will be blocked.

To use the capabilities of the film and television resource, you must register a profile on the site. In the future, thanks to an individual profile, the user will be able to manage subscriptions, control the account balance, and pay for the purchase or rental of premiere films.

Change DNS

If reinstalling the application, resetting and resetting the settings did not help, then another way to get Megogo to work is to change the domain name system, or DNS for short. It is a phone book that connects the name of a site with its numeric address.

To change DNS on Samsung TVs, go to the “Settings” - “Network” - “Network Status” tab. Then check your network settings and internet connection. Select "IP Settings" - "DNS Settings". In the window that opens, write “8.8.8.8” and click on the “Ok” button.

Changing DNS is not the best option for eliminating errors in Megogo. Since most of the users report that after completing their shift, there are problems with other applications.

Internet connection

To use smart TV features, you need to connect your TV to the Internet.

This can be done using a twisted pair connection (wired method) or a Wi-Fi router (wireless version).

Most of us have Wi-Fi hotspots at home, so we recommend connecting to the Internet this way.

Follow the instructions:

• Go to the Smart TV settings window. In the previously opened menu, settings are displayed as a separate icon. Also, depending on the TV manufacturer, there may be a “Settings” button on the remote control;
• In the window that opens, find the item “Network”, “Wireless connection” or “Internet” (again, the names of all items differ on different TVs, but the essence remains the same);
• Select the connection method (Wi-Fi);

Fig.6 - Smart TV settings

• In the new window, select the name of your router and click on the “Next” button;
