Operator Comparison
Tricolor, NTV-Plus, MTS-TV and Telekarta are among the TOP 5 most popular paid satellite operators in the Russian Federation. Hotbird is also popular behind the scenes because it offers its services for free.
Select an operator based on your needs:
- If you want an inexpensive, popular operator with several standard sets, choose Tricolor. Here you will even find a separate Ultra HD package. But get ready for regular software updates, periodic hardware purchases, and the absence of some channels. Equipment is not included in the cost of services.
- If you are willing to pay a little more for the opportunity to choose, try NTV-plus. The abundance of additional options will hurt your wallet, but will help you assemble the right set. Equipment is also not included in the cost of services.
- If you want to buy several services at once, the Internet, equipment, and television will be offered by Mobile Telecommunications PJSC. You will have to choose from 2 sets of channels and pay a monthly TV fee.
- If you need a satellite TV offer that is unpretentious in terms of equipment, then pay attention to Telekarta. There are no Ultra HD channels here, but there are basic and additional offers for different needs.
- If you don't want to pay for satellite TV yet, buy the equipment and configure it with Eutelsat satellites. You'll have to look for good channels, but that's why you don't have to pay.
The cheapest satellite TV set is “Pioneer” from Telekarta for 800 rubles per year, the most spacious is “All Inclusive 999” from NTV-Plus for 999 rubles per year.

Which equipment set to choose?
Best CT Equipment Kits
"Tricolor CTB - 0.55"
This satellite television operator is considered the largest in Russia. Currently, more than 12 million people use its services. The main advantage is high image quality at a relatively low price. In addition, some channels can be watched for free. The company is trying to reduce equipment prices. A good example of this is “Tricolor CTB – 0.55”. The cost of this kit in May 2021 is approximately 1200-1500 rubles. You just need to keep in mind that your TV must receive a DBS-S2 standard signal. Otherwise, you will have to purchase a more expensive set with a receiver attachment.
This kit shows very well in the central regions of Russia. The small size of the antenna does not in any way affect the quality of signal reception from the satellite. The operator offers a choice of more than 200 television channels, of which more than 30 broadcast in Full HD resolution. The main disadvantage of Tricolor TV is considered temporary, and it only affects old subscribers. In April 2021, the transition process from MPEG-2 to MPEG-4 began. Because of this, many users had to purchase new receivers.
Operator advantages
- low prices for equipment;
- many different free services;
- the ability to watch some TV channels for free;
- a large number of channels in different packages;
- the presence of special channels “for adults”;
- availability of the option to watch films from the company’s own video library.
Flaws
- this variation of the equipment set includes only an antenna, bracket and converter;
- the antenna will not be able to receive a signal in a region that is very far from the satellite.
"HTB-Plus HD Simple-2"
Every sports fan knows about the existence of a CT operator called “HTB-Plus”. This company has many of its own channels. Some of them broadcast various sports competitions, including domestic football tournaments in many European countries. That is why sports fans choose HTB-Plus from all CT operators.
The cost of this kit seems high at first glance. But taking into account the fact that each subscriber receives a two-year subscription to the “Economy” package as a gift, the price is quite reasonable.
Kit includes:
- 60 cm antenna;
- installation kit;
- HDMI cable;
- smart card;
- receiver "Opentech - OHS - 1740V".
Those. Everything you need for connection and high-quality setup is there.
Advantages
- a large number of sports channels;
- premiere screenings of films before their official release on DVD;
- high-quality set-top box-receiver;
- availability of all necessary elements to start watching TV;
- a large number of channels with a high level of clarity;
- free subscription to the “Economy” package for 2 years;
- a large number of thematic packages to choose from.
Flaws
- high price for paid packages;
- sometimes receivers quickly fail;
- the total number of channels is not very large.
"Tricolor Full HD E501/C5911"
Another set of equipment for connecting to the Tricolor TB operator. Designed for those whose TV does not receive signals from modern satellite television. The technical characteristics of the kit require connection to two TVs at once. The kit includes 2 receivers at once - “GS E501/5911”.
The largest receiver has advanced functionality. A small device can be connected to that TV that you do not watch every day.
Advantages
- large selection of free channels;
- thematic packages that are understandable to every user;
- two receivers;
- one of the devices has a broadcast recording function;
- there is a “TimeShift” function;
- low cost of channels included in paid packages;
- There are channels with erotic themes.
Flaws
- The antenna size (55 cm in diameter) is not enough in some regions;
- no HDMI cables.
