Watch Tricolor TV via the Internet online on your TV, computer and smartphone

If a subscriber does not have the opportunity to buy or install a satellite dish, he can watch his favorite programs online. At the same time, it is important to remember that you won’t be able to watch Tricolor TV for free all channels via the Internet; you will still have to pay for viewing. But on the other hand, users will have the opportunity to save on buying a dish and get rid of the difficulties of catching a high-quality signal. The main thing is to buy equipment and enter into a subscription agreement with a well-known provider. In addition, it is important to make sure in advance that the available connection speed is sufficient so that the broadcast is not interrupted at the most interesting moment. This applies to both mobile Internet and home lines. Otherwise, viewing will become difficult.

Who can use the service

Any user can watch Tricolor TV on a computer via the Internet, the main thing is to comply with a few simple conditions:

• be a subscriber of a satellite company and pay a subscription fee for the package you like;
• have an appropriate set-top box or mobile application;

Nothing additional is required. It is important to emphasize that to view you need to connect one of the basic packages:

• "Extra";
• "Unified Ultra HD";
• "Online".

Without subscribing to one of the mentioned packages, viewing will not be possible. Special attention is paid to the fact that not all TV channels from the indicated tariffs will be available for viewing on smartphones and laptops. Some broadcasting is carried out only via satellite. The exception is when using the “Multiscreen” option, which allows you to watch your favorite programs on third-party devices. But in such cases, subscribers will have to come to terms with the fact that the option is available only within the coverage area of ​​the wi-fi network to which the receiver is connected.

Technical ability to connect via the Internet

To watch television online, without using an antenna, you need a GS AC790 set-top box. Additionally, an Internet connection via cable or router with a speed of at least 12 Mbit is required. The broadcast will be available even with lower connection quality, but in this case the satellite company does not guarantee the stability of the TV connection.

Those wishing to use the application must ensure that they have Android version 5.0 or higher. Samsung TVs require Tizen operating system version 2.3 or higher. There are no other requirements to gain access to the broadcast. The Internet provider can be anything, the only thing that matters is the speed.

Setting up a special tablet

To ensure that subscribers do not have problems connecting a tablet to Tricolor TV, the satellite operator has developed its own mobile device. The GS700 tablet connects via WI-FI to the receiver.

The device in question supports the independent receiver option. Suitable for synchronization with GSE501 and GSS591 receivers.

The peculiarity of the special Tricolor TV GS700 tablet is that it does not need to install the Multiscreen application and other proprietary programs of the satellite television operator. Absolutely all the necessary software is included in the list of preinstalled programs.

The list of pre-installed programs includes several more useful applications that will certainly be appreciated by users. Now let's look at them.
