Clients of the Beeline provider are often interested in how to connect a Beeline set-top box to a TV, and whether it is possible to watch Beeline TV without additional equipment. Below we provide instructions that allow you to do the work yourself and without the involvement of craftsmen. We will also look at the intricacies of connecting without a TV set-top box using WiFi.

How to connect a Beeline set-top box to a TV

In practice, connecting a Beeline TV set-top box to a TV is the only way out if the TV does not have a WiFi module and Smart technology. After completing the work, you get access to more than 300 channels, the ability to watch recorded programs and get other useful options.

Below we will look at connecting a Beeline TV set-top box to a TV using the example of the D-Link DES-1005D and TRENDnet TE100-S5 routers, which are supplied in the kit. The algorithm is like this:

Connect the Beeline Internet cable or another provider to the switch.
Insert the LAN cable on one side into the router (LAN output), and on the other, connect it to the set-top box and the Network connector.
Prepare the “tulip” or HDMI wires to connect the Beeline digital set-top box to the TV.
Connect the connectors according to the markings in both devices (set-top box and TV).
Turn on the set-top box by pressing the Power button on the front panel.
Pay attention to the Link LED - it should light up.
Look at your router's lights. If you strictly followed the instructions for connecting the Beeline TV set-top box, two LEDs should light up on the router - near the port number and the network cable.
Wait for the console to boot. This takes up to 10-15 minutes.

If something goes wrong: the sound on the set-top box does not work.

Using the instructions above, you can connect the Beeline set-top box to an old TV (using “tulips”) or connect the device to a new TV model via an HDMI cable.

The final step is to register in the service. This can be done by Beeline phone number, contract number or via email.

If you need to connect the Beeline set-top box to your computer, also use the HDMI connector, which should be on the back of the system unit. If it is missing, you can use “tulips”, as in the case of an old TV.

Purpose of connectors: what is needed for what

To connect the set-top box to the TV, you need to connect the antenna, receiver and TV itself with cables. To connect cables, you need appropriate connectors, and now more than one standard is used. Where and what plugs should I plug in?

Standard connectors

Each set-top box, regardless of its type, must have two connectors:

Antenna input. May be labeled "RF IN" or "ANT IN". The plug from the over-the-air antenna or cable television distribution board is connected here.
Input for power supply. Marked as “DC-5V”, “DC-IN”. The included power supply is inserted into it. In some models, the power cord is made non-removable.

In addition to the mandatory ones, there are a number of connectors that you will almost always encounter:

Antenna output. May be called "RF-OUT", "RF-LOOP", LOOP-OUT". Designed for serial connection of another set-top box. On models that have a built-in RF modulator, the signal from this port can be sent to the antenna input of the TV and catch local analog TV.
RCA output. From it, video and audio signals enter through the corresponding plugs (marked red, white and yellow) on the TV. Used for most older television receivers, but no longer provides high image quality.
HDMI. High definition digital output. If the TV has a corresponding input, then we recommend using this particular connector, and leaving RCA only for outputting sound to external speakers.
USB. A connector familiar from computers. Used to connect external storage devices (from flash drive to HDD). As a result, it becomes possible to record programs or view video and audio files of a supported format. In addition, if the set-top box has such a function, you can connect a Wi-Fi module through this connector.

Rare connectors

In addition to the common ones, digital set-top boxes may also have rare types of connectors. These include:

' data-zag=»SCART (Euro connector, comb)» data-id=»821″>SCART. This is a standard connector for equipment used in Europe. Therefore, it is often found not only in televisions, but also in set-top boxes aimed at the European market.
S-Video. An old connector, actively used for video players and game consoles. Now it usually requires purchasing an adapter. Provides high quality TV signal, but only for standard definition: it does not transmit HD images.

To a modern TV

If the TV is more or less new and supports at least RCA, connecting the receiver looks like this:

The TV turns off.
Cables from the antenna and power supply are connected to the receiver.
The TV and set-top box are connected using one of the available methods ( ' data-zag=”SCART (Euro connector, comb)” data-id=”821″>SCART,

Is it possible and how to connect 2 TVs?

Many people ask how to connect a second Beeline TV set-top box, and how many devices can be used to the maximum. The provider claims the ability to connect up to four devices. The Multiroom function is used for this. It can be connected free of charge and without additional subscription fees.

A separate set-top box is used for each TV, after which all devices are synchronized with each other. If you connect four TVs at once, they can be placed in different parts of the apartment or house. After connecting to the service, you can purchase movies at video rental stores and watch them on all TVs.

In the question of how to connect an additional Beeline TV set-top box to a TV, the type of device is important. According to the rules, the device must have a hard drive and the ability to record for one TV. You also cannot do without additional set-top boxes for other TVs. Payment is made only for one receiver, regardless of the number of connections. At the same time, channel packages and tariffs can be used on all TVs. If difficulties arise, you can always dial, this is an Internet and television hotline.

How to install and configure the Beeline application for Smart TV

Many people ask how to connect a second TV to the Beeline set-top box. Let us immediately note that this will not be possible due to the lack of additional connectors. The only way out is to use the method discussed above using several TV set-top boxes and using the Multiroom function.

Device cost

Orders over 3,000 rubles are delivered free of charge.
In the retail network of the mobile operator, the price of Beebox Android TV is set at the same level (4,500 rubles), regardless of the region and other factors. Additional costs are determined by shipping costs. You can install the equipment according to standard instructions yourself, without the help of specialists.

How to connect Beeline TV without a set-top box

An alternative option is to connect Beeline TV to a TV without a set-top box. This is possible if the TV has a Wi-Fi module and Smart technology. In this case, all work is performed via a WiFi router.

To connect without a Beeline TV set-top box via WiFi, start with the router settings. The algorithm is like this:

Install the ISP cable into the WAN connector of the router.
Connect to your PC through one of the LAN ports.
Log into your web browser and enter the numbers 192.168.10.1 in the address bar.
Enter admin twice for authorization in the login and password fields.
Enter Basic Settings and go to the WAN section.
Fill out the suggested fields there: connection type - enter L2TP, IP address/Server name - set tp.internet.beeline.ru, enter a name and password, address type - select Dynamic, MTU - set 1460, and in the Get DNS column automatically put tick.
Wait for the router settings to save. This takes about two minutes. In the next step, the device should connect to the Internet.
Set Wi-Fi settings in the WiFi Settings section. Here select the standard - 2.4 GHz (b+g), mode - AP, wireless network name - specify any, channel number - set to Auto.
Click the Save changes button, and then go to the Security section. There, set authentication to WPA2 mixed, in the WPA encryption section to TKIP, to WPA2 to AES, and in the key format section specify the password. Now set the key to connect to Wi-Fi and save. The key must contain at least 8 characters (letters, numbers and special characters).

After completing the above steps, you will be able to connect your phone, TV or laptop to the Beeline TV set-top box via Wi-Fi.

To connect your laptop, do the following:

turn on Wi-Fi using a hot combination on the keyboard;
Click on the WiFi icon at the bottom right;
select your wireless network and enter the password;
install the application and watch Beeline TV.

To connect to your phone, follow these steps:

lower the top curtain with icons on the display in Android OS;
click on the Wi-Fi icon to activate it;
press and hold the Wi-Fi symbol until a list of networks appears;
select your WiFi network, click on it and enter the password;
install the Beeline TV application and watch your favorite channels.

For TV (using LG as an example):

enter the TV menu;
go to the Network section, and then Network settings: wireless;
select Settings from the list of access points (AP);
click on your WiFi network;
enter the password and click OK.

If you were able to successfully connect the router to the TV, a corresponding message appears. Next, click on the Recents/Home button, enter the LG Content Store, and then find and install Beeline TV.

As you can see, connecting the Beeline set-top box to the TV via HDMI or “tulips” is not the only solution. If you have WiFi on your TV, you can connect via a wireless network. In this case, the connection is carried out without a set-top box. If desired, you can use additional TVs (up to five) to watch by connecting via Wi-Fi.

How to connect digital cable TV from Beeline

Note that the principle discussed above works not only for LG, but also for other Smart TVs, for example, Philips or Samsung. They can be configured using the same algorithm. Only the names of the menu items differ.

Can I watch it on a computer?

The full set of channels can only be watched through a set-top box. However, you can watch several free public channels on Windows as well. We will need the VLC Player program. To find a list of channels, go to the Beeline forum using the link and search. To download you need to register. Next, launch VLC Player, press Ctrl+L and drag and drop the playlist file. Launch it and enjoy watching. By the way, the player is available not only for Windows, but also for other operating systems.

Results

Knowing how to connect a Beeline set-top box to a TV, you can easily set up television without involving company employees. If your TV has a WiFi module and Smart technology, you can do without a set-top box and watch Beeline TV over a wireless network.

All modern TVs from LG, Samsung, Sony Bravia and other companies are mainly equipped with one or more USB and HDMI ports, as well as Smart TV software. This means that you can connect a flash drive or external hard drive to such a TV and watch movies from it or install APK applications. But what about owners of old TVs without USB ports and Smart TVs, but with tulips?

Content

First of all, you need to connect the flash drive to the USB port of the Smart TV set-top box. After which it will be visible in the list of available removable media.

Perhaps, after this, the system itself will prompt you to open the flash card of one of the programs preinstalled on the console.

If this does not happen, you need to install one of the many free file managers from the official Google Play Store.

For example, I've been using "TV File Commander" lately.

How to watch Beeline TV on a computer - instructions

Also a good document viewer is the X-Plore application.

We install one of these programs and launch it from the general list in the “Applications” menu of the TV set-top box.

On the main page in the main screen we will see all the internal drives, connected external flash drives or hard drives, as well as cloud storage used by your Google account. Here you can sort documents by file type - images, videos, music, etc.

The name “Built-in storage” hides the internal memory of the TV set-top box. The total and used disk space is displayed. The flash drive will be visible by its name, which was assigned to it at the time of formatting. I call it “Miscellaneous”. We navigate through the section using the remote control and go to the flash card.

Then we select the movie we need and watch the video using the video player built into this application. Yes, using TV File Commander you don’t even have to install a third-party player.

Another situation is when the flash drive is visible on the TV or Smart TV set-top box, but the video does not open or play. In this case, the reason most likely lies in the fact that the format of this file is not supported by the media player that you use to play it. This usually happens with relatively rare extensions such as MKV.

The most common formats are AVI, MP4, MOV. Try to download videos to disk with these extensions.
If this movie is not in the desired form, then you can use one of the many video converters and recode it into another format. It is also recommended to use omnivorous players such as VLC.
Another way that can help solve video playback problems is to update the TV's firmware. We talked about how to do this separately.

What is a USB port for?

If you can’t turn on a USB flash drive and watch movies through the connector, a logical question arises: why is the socket provided on the equipment at all? According to the developers, several application options are available here:

Connecting diagnostic equipment. Company employees connect the equipment to check the functionality of the tuner and its characteristics. In addition, using the connector, you can turn on the flash drive through the Beeline set-top box and flash the device.
Charging mobile devices. If desired, you can connect a smartphone, tablet or other equipment.

If you wish, you can do the firmware for the console yourself. The general algorithm of actions is as follows:

Download the software to download.
Plug the device into the connector.
Figure out how to launch a flash drive on a Beeline console. Usually this information is indicated in the operating instructions.
Press the power button to plug in the device.

In the future, the algorithm of actions may differ depending on the model. As a rule, you need to turn on the device and press the Menu button on the remote control to get to the internal firmware menu.

In the menu that appears, select Upgrade Tools, and then click on USB Bootstrap.

After that, press OK on the remote control to launch the firmware. After completion of work, the tuner reboots automatically, and reboots with new software. Please note that sometimes there are situations when the Beeline set-top box does not see the USB flash drive. In this case, you need to enable and disable it.

Mobile interactive remote control

In addition, you can use your mobile device to control the TV set-top box. To do this, you need to install the Beeline TV application from the Play Market or App Store. The application can show TV channels via the mobile Internet. A television program is available there. But the main thing for us is the ability to use the application as an interactive remote control. You can switch channels, increase or decrease the volume, record or pause the broadcast. The program has many other features.

Supported Hardware

Before setting up a Beeline TV set-top box, understand the equipment models supported by the manufacturer. At the time of writing, the following devices are available:

SWG2001B-A;
ZTE ZXV10 B860H;
Tatung STB3210, STB3012 CDA, STB3310.
RASSE 001;
Motorola VIP2262E, 1002e1002p, 1200e1200,
Cisco 430, 2001, 2200, 2230, 7031, 1216e1216;
Pace 8005;
JUPITER-T5-PM;
Arris vip 2262.

The principle of setting up the Beeline TV set-top box for all models is almost identical. The only thing that may differ is the labels on the LEDs and connectors, as well as the built-in menu.

Setting up channels

After completing the above steps, you can configure channels on the Beeline set-top box. The company's clients can select additional channels and receive the following TV packages for an additional fee - sports, children's, adults, etc.

Channel settings are available in two ways:

Using the menu of the Beeline TV set-top box. Enter the Menu, and then Personal Account and Channel Packs. There, go to the additional packages section and select the desired option.
Through your personal account. In this case, log into your personal account, and then go to the Products section. In the next step, click on Home TV and Tariffs. After completing these steps, a page with a list of tariffs opens. There, check the Connected section and click on the link to the package page. Scroll down and find the Theme Packs section. Move the desired slider and save your changes. Please note that when you turn on an additional channel package, the subscription fee also changes.

Disabling additional packages follows the same algorithm.
The difference is that at the final stage you need to move the toggle switch towards off (for your personal account). After entering the main menu of the Beeline TV set-top box, many sections are available - recommended, TV program, TV channels, video rental, applications, personal account and others. The most interesting section from the settings perspective is the Settings section of the same name. In it you can manage channels and notifications, set up parental controls and solve other problems.

Please note that only one TV can be connected to one set-top box. If you need to increase the number of connected equipment, you can use the Multiroom option. To do this, you need to rent or buy another console. In other words, each TV requires its own equipment.

Via Wi-Fi

Below we looked at how to set up a Beeline TV set-top box via a router using a LAN cable. If you have a TV with a wireless module, you can connect via WiFi. Here are general setup instructions:

Connect your Wi-Fi router to power and connect it to your PC or laptop using a LAN cable.
Enter the router settings by entering 192.168.1.1 in the browser URL bar (the exact details can be found on the bottom of the device).
Enter your username and password to log in (admin twice).
Configure your provider's settings, set the SSID and password for Wi-Fi.

Now make settings on the TV with a WiFi module. For example, on a Samsung with Smart TV, do the following:

go to the menu, and then Network;
go to Network Settings and proceed to the next step;
select a wireless connection and move on;
find the WiFi network and enter the entered password;
click on the Smart Hub button;
Log in to the Samsung App;
find Beeline TV and download it to your TV;
install the application.

At the final stage, all that remains is to register and use the capabilities of television without a set-top box.

Reset

If difficulties arise in the operation of the equipment, you may need to reset the Beeline TV set-top box. In essence, we are talking about an ordinary hard “reset”. At the same time, the list and order of channels remains unchanged - this information continues to be stored on the server. To reset your data, do the following:

disconnect the device from the power supply;
hold down the Reset button;
Plug the device into a power outlet and wait for it to boot.

To exit the reset menu, just turn off and turn on the device. After this, the device goes into normal operation. You can also read how to change the password on a Wi-Fi router.

Broadcast management, archive of broadcasts for 3 days

Beeline TV gives you the opportunity to start watching a program again at any time or watch an already completed program*. You can find it in a search, video directory or TV program and play it. Such transfers will be marked with a special icon. You can also always pause the broadcast and rewind.

You can purchase a film either for rent or forever. The minimum cost of the film is 99 rubles. The service also offers various subscriptions and collections.

Films purchased for rent are available for viewing for 30 days. You will have 48 hours to complete your viewing. When you purchase a movie, you can watch it at any time, any number of times, without additional payment.

Unified access across all devices
