Tricolor Siberia - about channels, satellite, settings and all sorts of useful things

Tricolor television is a broadcast of channels from a satellite. The provider provides its subscribers with high digital quality television broadcasting and a very wide choice: more than 900 channels in dozens of different packages - children's, adults, sports, educational, for movie buffs and music lovers.

However, due to weather conditions, technical problems or incorrect operation of software products on the network, the setup of Tricolor channels may be disrupted. Resuming broadcasting will not be difficult if you have at hand detailed instructions for setting up channels on your TV.

What content does Tricolor offer?

Tricolor users have access to linear television and video on demand.
In the first case, we are talking about real-time television broadcasting, when channels are broadcast from satellite and via the Internet. Video on demand is a service in which the client decides what and when to watch. Tricolor has several such services. One of them is with an extensive library of feature-length and animated films. Moreover, you can purchase or rent any film without a subscription. Soon the catalog should be replenished with TV series and free content with inserted advertising blocks.

For satellite clients there is the Cinematheque service - it allows you to watch recordings of terrestrial TV channels selected by editors at any time, which are stored in the memory of the set-top box.

Tricolor offers clients a line of more than 20 of its own TV channels with film series content. These are the channels “Kinopokaz”, “Comedy”, “Favorite”, “Our”, “Romantic”, “Shocking”, UHD channels “Kino UHD” and “Serial UHD”, as well as the online channel “Serial”. For example, the online project “Big Broadcast” allows you to watch unique events in live mode, such as the launch of a launch vehicle from the Baikonur Cosmodrome. Typically, such broadcasts are not included in the program schedule of federal television channels.

Tricolor broadcasts in high definition (HD) and ultra-high definition 4K Ultra HD formats. Thus, the Ultra HD package includes seven thematic TV channels dedicated to travel, sports and cinema. To view them, you need a 4K-compatible TV and set-top box.

The ability to view content on five devices within one account also works for purchased films: when a user buys a certain film, he has the right to watch it both separately on each device and simultaneously on all

Table of all channels and frequencies of Tricolor TV

There are 2 simplest ways to clarify the frequencies of Tricolor TV channels:

• visit the official website of the provider;
• call the contact center.

These options are convenient because they allow you to avoid unnecessary searches for the necessary information and studying a long list of available broadcasts. The viewer just has to clarify the correct frequency for a particular TV and use the information received in practice. It is not necessary to use a complete detailed list of all existing frequencies, since most of the broadcast network is configured without human intervention through automatic search. Therefore, there is no point in searching for and storing unnecessary information.

Provider special offers

It is important to emphasize that sometimes the provider offers clients to evaluate potential innovations and connect to a certain broadcast for free for a while. You can find out about it on the satellite company's Info Channel.

Users just need to switch for a while to the above-mentioned Info Channel and familiarize themselves with the recommendations, news and instructions presented there. Usually, to gain access to such a test broadcast, it is enough to reboot the receiver and check the result. In case of difficulties, you should call 88005000123. To receive assistance, you may need the subscriber's last name and ID number.

How to watch content on five devices

Tricolor services can be used simultaneously on five different devices connected to one account. A personal computer, smartphone, tablet, smart TV and set-top box are suitable for viewing. This is convenient for members of the same family - everyone watches their favorite movie or show, regardless of the others. For example, while one of the household members turned on the series on a smartphone, another chose a sports broadcast on a smart TV.

In order to take advantage of this function, the “Tricolor Cinema and TV” application is installed on all devices connected to the Internet. You can log in using one Tricolor ID from five different devices.

You can also use a satellite TV set-top box that supports the DVB-S2 standard. You only need to connect it to the Internet using an Ethernet cable or via Wi-Fi and switch it to the “Satellite and Internet” mode.

The ability to view content on five devices within one account also works for purchased films: when a user buys a certain film, he has the right to watch it on the above devices, either separately on each of them, or simultaneously on all of them.

About the TV channel

TNV is a satellite TV channel broadcasting in the Tatar and Russian languages ​​and aimed primarily at representatives of the Tatar nation living in the regions of the Russian Federation and abroad. The main direction of the channel is cultural educational programs. Broadcasting is carried out around the clock and occurs in eight-hour blocks, taking into account different time zones. The program schedule includes films, documentaries, concerts, sports broadcasts and much more.

Usually this name refers to TNV Tatarstan, which can only be configured manually. But there is also an “export” channel TNV Planet, which is broadcast as part of the standard package.

Viewing content via satellite

The ability to watch different content from several devices is also available to those users who do not have inexpensive unlimited Internet. For example, in a country house or country house. In this case, the Multiscreen service is convenient. It is supported through an application of the same name on mobile devices and smart TVs connected to a single home network.

"Multiscreen" works in two modes - mirror and independent. In the first case, the content from the TV screen is simply duplicated onto the gadget. In independent mode, you can watch different channels on your devices.

The functionality of the service depends on the model of the TV set-top box. For example, the GS U510 model supports mirror mode, but does not work in independent mode, and the GS B621L model is suitable for both options. A list of TV set-top boxes that support the desired mode is available on the official websites of Tricolor and GS Group, a manufacturer of television viewing equipment under the General Satellite brand.

In addition, satellite television customers can choose the most convenient services based on personal preferences. With the above-mentioned “Cinematheque” you can watch shows and programs that have already been broadcast on channels from the “United”, “Children’s” and “Night” packages. A collection of programs and films is formed while the set-top box is in standby mode. The volume of recorded content depends only on the memory capacity of the set-top box and external storage.

Satellite clients also have access to the Cinema service. It is an analogue of an online cinema. With its help, films can be recorded in the memory of the TV set-top box. In total, 12 films are broadcast per day, and two new films are added to the collection every day.

In addition, satellite broadcast users can pause, rewind, or watch programs from the beginning of the broadcast or from an archive. This service is called “Manage the Air”. It allows you to record video directly while watching or using a timer.

Synergy of satellite and Internet

The so-called hybrid TV set-top boxes, which support satellite and Internet broadcasting, provide access to the maximum number of TV channels and services.

Owners of such devices can also control gadgets through the Tricolor Smart Home system. This option works through the mobile application. It is supported by all modern General Satellite TV set-top boxes. All you need is a smart home system control module and a set of sensors for digital control.

Another advantage of a hybrid connection is protection from possible interruptions in the satellite signal. When the quality of the signal from the satellite decreases, the set-top box automatically switches to broadcasting via the Internet, and viewing continues.

Founding history

On October 1, 2005, a test broadcast was carried out from the Eutelsat 36A satellite, and already on October 12, broadcasting of TV-3, DTV, REN TV, Kultura and Rossiya television channels began to the European part of Russia.

On February 7, 2012, the operator radically changes its plans. First of all, the changes affected channel packages. It was decided to add foreign TV channels to its packages, which the company had previously refused on principle. Secondly, Tricolor TV decided to include HDTV channels in this package. And already on April 1, this idea was implemented in the “Super Optimum” package.

View content only via the Internet

The choice in favor of Internet connection to Tricolor services is made by residents of city apartments. Often they are not ready to install satellite equipment; it is more convenient for them to use a dedicated Internet line. In this case, the content can be watched using smart TV, personal computer, smartphone and tablet.

To connect to the service on the listed devices, you need to download the “Tricolor Cinema and TV” application. It is created for Samsung TVs with Tizen OS version 2.3 and higher, LG TVs with webOS version 2.0 and higher, Apple TV set-top box, as well as TVs and set-top boxes with Android TV OS version 5.0 and higher.

Owners of devices running on the Android and iOS platforms can install the application and log in by entering the username and password from the Tricolor client account.

The web version of the cinema www.kino.tricolor.tv is actively developing, where Soviet cinema is available for viewing free of charge and without registration, and in the next couple of months the library will be expanded and other functions will appear.

Through an Internet connection you can watch more than 150 linear TV channels, of which more than 40 are in HD format. The online cinema library contains more than 1000 films.

When connecting only via the Internet, users are offered three packages: “Watch Movies”, “Watch TV” and “Watch Movies and TV”. The latter includes 152 TV channels and access to a catalog of Russian and foreign films. The “Manage Your Broadcast” function, which was discussed above, also works for online broadcasting.

With all the advantages of this type of connection, there are a number of nuances. In particular, the Cinema and Cinematheque services will be unavailable. Viewing of some TV channels may be limited due to the requirements of copyright holders. For the same reason, in some cases, recording of content is prohibited.

Setting the time

In order for the set-top box to work correctly, you must set the correct time in the settings. This does not affect already tuned TV channels. You can set the date, time, and time zone in the “Receiver main menu settings” block.

Correct setting of these parameters is necessary for the operation of the teletext transmission system and the functioning of TV guides. The only thing you don't need to do is activate the automatic network time switch in the settings. The time must be set to local, and the time zone is +3 (Moscow).

Advice! If difficulties arise, you can always contact Tricolor technical support in any convenient way: by phone, through popular instant messengers, email.

Viewing content on mobile devices

You can watch your favorite films and programs not only from home, but also from a hotel room or while traveling in the Russian Federation. To do this, you need to install the “Tricolor Cinema and TV” application for mobile devices on smartphones and tablets.

The operator's services and packages work equally on devices running Android and iOS. Through the application, you can choose one of 150 linear TV channels or watch a movie from an online cinema. The program schedule of the selected channel and its weekly archive are displayed in the application menu. The “Manage Broadcast” function allows you to pause broadcasts or rewind to the desired moment.

Let's sum it up

Manually setting up a TNV channel is done in just a few clicks, but for this you need your device to support this setting. In most cases, it can be unlocked, but if this is not possible, you should consider changing the receiver. Otherwise, you will have to be content with only the TNV Planet channel.

How dealers can make money on additional services

Tricolor dealers who sell hybrid TV set-top boxes and connect them have the opportunity to earn additional money by selling smart home devices and services. How to do it? Together with the TV set-top box, the client can be offered the connection of the Tricolor Smart Home kit, the central device of which is the control module. In addition to the main functions - managing the home infrastructure of a smart home, recording content - the module can be used as a wireless access point, connecting a TV set-top box and any other devices used by the client to the Internet. Thus, the user will not need to purchase a separate Wi-Fi adapter with a USB connection (the so-called “whistle”) necessary for an Internet connection. The cost of a smart home control module is almost comparable to the cost of a “whistle”, so the client will have access to all Tricolor Internet services and the ability to connect a smart home system at no additional cost.

The client has the right to start with a minimum set of devices, and then, after making sure of the convenience and efficiency of the service, connect all the necessary Tricolor Smart Home devices. The dealer receives income from sales of smart home devices. Another opportunity for dealers to earn additional income is related to the sale of scratch cards to pay for the Online TV package. The operator regularly holds various promotions for its partners aimed at stimulating sales of such cards and other interesting products.

Users have become more selective, and with an Internet connection they have a wide choice of services: linear TV with broadcast control functions, online cinema, smart home. These services are available on various devices, so it is important for the dealer to be able to demonstrate to customers all the possible options for connecting to the Tricolor platform and viewing video content on the screen of a smart TV, smartphone, tablet and computer.

Dealers, in turn, receive new sources of monetization related to the sale of smart home devices and services, as well as the sale of scratch cards.

conclusions

Tricolor services cover possible content consumption scenarios as much as possible. Customers can choose the most convenient connection options for themselves - home, mobile (for using services from different devices) or combined. In accordance with the changing demands of consumers, the operator is constantly working to introduce new multi-platform services and expand its content offer. And dealers, in turn, receive new sources of monetization related to the sale of smart home devices and services, as well as the sale of scratch cards.
