Modern high-quality satellite television from Tricolor is an ideal solution for people to watch TV shows at home. The provider provides a wide variety of packages, choosing the more suitable option if the subscription fee for Tricolor TV in 2021 for 1 year is suitable. The company satisfies the preferences of any user - different age categories, personal preferences and social status.
The provider user selects a set of channels based on the genre of programs shown, cost and time.
The company provides the opportunity to take advantage of two or three active offers simultaneously for a year or for a trial period.
Cheap option, with one monthly fee for two TVs
This option is suitable if you already have a connected set of Tricolor TV equipment, and the receiver has several different connectors. In this case, one TV can be connected using an HDMI cable, the connection to the second will provide a SCART output.
There may be several such methods. If the receiver has an RCA output, then you can connect to an older generation TV via “tulips”, and if not, use various adapters or an HDMI divider.
Important: such an installation of Tricolor TV on 2 TVs has one big drawback. The receiver does not modulate the satellite signal, but only decrypts it, and “mechanical” division will not be able to provide independent viewing of different programs on two television panels. Not a very convenient solution for family members with different tastes. In addition, it will be possible to switch channels only in the room where the receiver is installed.
Wireless receiver control
Now you don’t need to drill walls, buy tens of meters of antenna cable to lay it in the next room, the video sender completely solves this problem. You connect one of the blocks directly to the receiver, and the other directly to the TV.
The maximum distance for a high-quality and stable signal should not exceed 30-35 meters, but it is worth considering the material and thickness of the walls through which the signal will pass, for example, a load-bearing concrete wall can reduce the signal range to about 20 meters. In addition, in addition to remote controls with an infrared sensor, the device also supports radio remote controls, with their help you can control the TV even without being in the room.
The most expensive option for installing Tricolor on two TVs
To implement this, you will need two receivers - one for each TV. You can get by with one antenna, you just need to install a converter on two outputs and run two coaxial cables to each receiver. For those who do not have the opportunity (or desire) to carry out additional installation work, there is an alternative with an RF divider.
Important: Please note that to view independently on two screens, both receivers must be registered. You will also need two subscriptions, which means that the Tricolor price for two TVs automatically doubles.
The best option for two TVs from Tricolor TV
The operator found his solution to the problem several years ago. Tricolor TV offers to connect a kit for two TVs, which consists of two set-top boxes. It allows you to watch different channels on screens without paying a double subscription fee.
The complete set includes:
- antenna with converter for two outputs;
- dual-tuner receiver that acts as a server;
- client attachment;
- remote controls and power adapters (one for each console);
- set of cables for connection;
- scratch card;
- user manual and warranty cards.
At the beginning of 2021, such a complete set is offered for sale in the Tricolor TV online store for 11 thousand rubles. At official dealers of operators, the price may differ either up or down. To this amount you will also need to add the cost of delivery, installation and configuration of equipment.

How does the Tricolor TV set work?
The kit is connected into a single system as follows:
- from the two outputs of the Twin circular converter, lay two coaxial (high-frequency) TV cables and connect them to the LNB-1 and LNB-2 outputs on the server set-top box;
- the client set-top box is connected to the main receiver with an Ethernet cable (using the corresponding ports on the set-top boxes) or wirelessly - through a router;
- TVs are connected to each device using HDMI or RCA connectors;
- make settings on each individual screen.
Two encoded signals are sent from the receiving antenna to the server receiver with the smart card inserted. There they are decrypted by two tuners and transmitted further, one to the connected TV, the second (via the client set-top box) to the second screen.
Both devices are equipped with IR sensors, which means they can be controlled independently by two remote controls, pause programs or record. The client set-top box cannot work without a server, but the presence of a USB input on board allows it to be used as a device for playing content from external media (flash drive or hard drive).

How to connect two TVs to one receiver
Satellite television has been present on the Russian market for a long time, and competing companies offer their own tariff plans and technical devices. The price of additional services contributes to additional financial expenses, which can be a critical factor for some clients. Today there are many methods developed by ordinary users on how to connect several TVs to one receiver.
The simplest solution is to install additional wiring, depending on the connection connector on your TVs. Basic models of receivers support this function, allowing you to connect broadcasting via standard “tulips” or a more modern HDMI interface. If the cable type on several devices is the same, you will need to additionally purchase a special “hub” - a splitter, which expands the capabilities of the basic interface to simultaneously connect several TVs.
The main disadvantage of connecting technology through extensions with additional wiring is the ability to watch only the same channel on several devices; an additional TV cannot receive a separate signal. This technical solution does not require significant financial investments, but most models of latest generation receivers block signal transmission to a second device, which required reworking this connection method.
Tricolor kit options for two TVs
Initially, the operator proposed using the GS E501 receiver and the GS C591 client set-top box as a set. However, Tricolor TV's offer did not stop there.
Almost any two-tuner receivers produced by General Satellite can operate in tandem, including the B521, B 531 (all modifications), B532, B533 and A230. And the models C5911, C992 and the GS Gamekit game console are suitable for use as a client.
If the family already has a modern receiver model with two tuners, to connect the second panel you need to purchase any client set-top box. If there is no desire (or opportunity) to run two cables from the converter, you can install a high-frequency divider on the approach to the server and thus bifurcate the signal.
Tip: Tricolor TV offers to exchange outdated models of receivers for a set of two set-top boxes. “Casting” is carried out with an additional payment on the part of the subscriber. You can find out what equipment is accepted and what is given in exchange, as well as the terms of the promotion, on the operator’s online store page: https://shop.tricolor.tv/catalog/aktualnye-aktsii/obmen-na-komplekt-dlya -prosmotra-na-dvukh-ekranakh/.
How much should I pay to watch on two TVs?
Tricolor TV not only provided its subscribers with independent viewing on two screens using one smart card, but also thought of special tariffs for connecting packages. To take full advantage of this independent television viewing, you must pay one of the
This service allows you to watch all channels of the main Tricolor TV package “Unified”. The cost of its activation for a year is one and a half thousand rubles.

"Unified Multi"
An option whose cost is equal to the sum of 2x and “Multiroom”, that is, 2000 rubles. The possibilities are similar, that is, viewing United channels and other packages when additional subscriptions are activated.
Brief summary
To summarize what has been said, we can note the following advantages of the “proprietary” option for connecting two TVs from Tricolor TV:
- you can watch different channels on two screens offline, both in normal quality and in HD resolution;
- the price of installing Tricolor TV on 2 TVs is lower than the cost of two “full-fledged” receivers;
- connection tariff is less than double payment for subscriptions;
- on both devices you can use the “Cinema Halls” service from Tricolor.
There is only one downside to such a connection: you still have to invest a certain amount. But, if you calculate the ratio of money spent and opportunities received, a significant advantage will still remain with the tricolor system for two TVs.
