Tricolor satellite television is used by most of the country's population. In connection with this, the provider has developed and implemented many payment methods. There is a lot to choose from, because one part of them happens online, and the second part takes place the old fashioned way, offline. Find out below what data is needed to make a payment and how many payment methods there are.
What data will be needed?
Every time you contact technical support or pay for services, the system requests a certain ID number, which in the first seconds causes confusion in the user, since he does not know where to get it.
You can find your personal ID code on a card with a chip built into the tuner (the so-called smart card). ID consists of 14 or 12 digits.
The TV tuner remote control will also help you find the ID. To do this, just decide on the model of your receiver and press the “ID” or “Tricolor TV” button on the remote control (if available), select the “Status” section and read the ID identification number in the field that opens. However, difficulties may arise at this stage and the ID will not be displayed. In this case, you should restart the tuner and perform the above steps again. If this does not help, then it’s time to go to a service center.
Payment through payment systems and third-party services
There are many different payment systems and services that allow you to pay for Tricolor TV services. However, the most popular among users is replenishing their account using the Qiwi terminal.
The entire replenishment procedure is intuitive:
- On the main screen you need to select the “Payment for services” column, then the “TV” category.
- In the next tab, you should indicate the provider by activating its logo.

After completing the transaction, you should take the receipt as confirmation of a successful payment. You can check whether your balance has been topped up by contacting the Tricolor call center. If you have problems crediting funds to your account, you need to call the technical support number indicated on the main page of the terminal and give its code.
What cards can you use to pay for Tricolor TV services?
The provider does not establish special requirements for cards that can be used to transfer money to an account. The only condition that must be taken into account is that the selected plastic card supports online payments. Not all existing cards allow you to make transfers on the Internet.
Additionally, subscribers should clarify in advance the conditions for sending the required amount to their personal account. The satellite company does not set additional fees, but they may be set by the bank.
