Tricolor TV setting up channels yourself: instructions

In what cases is it necessary to tune channels with a shift of +2 hours?

Subscribers living in the Urals and in the European zone can enjoy watching television with a difference of 2 hours. Users of services from Tricolor living in the Urals do not have to worry about the settings. They are provided with automatic offset. When the broadcast does not shift, you should contact your provider.

Subscribers using broadcasting services from Tricolor in the European zone must independently perform the necessary manipulations to gain access to television viewing on these channels.

Pros and cons of the proposal

Connecting Tricolor to the Internet without a dish is convenient from a variety of points of view. However, in addition to the obvious advantages, this service has some disadvantages. Among the positive features it is worth noting:

• free viewing of channels not available in regular regional packages;
• the ability to connect the receiver anywhere, without being tied to a region;
• no dependence on weather or satellite reception characteristics;
• full functionality of digital television, archive of programs, rewind, pause and other interactive features.

But for some users, the shortcomings of Internet broadcasting technology can create problems.

1. You cannot watch Tricolor without a dish using receivers of old models. It is necessary to change the equipment to modern ones.
2. In many regions, it is not possible to provide sufficiently high bandwidth and stability of the Internet connection to play video without failures.

It is worth noting that the disadvantages of the service are gradually disappearing with the growth of technical equipment and the level of digital infrastructure of cities, villages, and regions. Therefore, we should expect an increase in demand for watching Tricolor without a dish.
