Why does error 6 appear on the Tricolor TV receiver?

Some problems when connecting Tricolor TV occur unexpectedly. This is exactly what can be said about error code 6 Tricolor. It may appear on the screen if the equipment is correctly connected if the subscriber has not completed the regulatory registration procedures. Also, error number 6 can happen due to incorrect operation of the receiver. It is not necessary to call technical support immediately. In most cases, error 6 Tricolor TV can be resolved by the subscriber himself.

Reasons for error 6

Error 6 on Tricolor TV means that the user does not have a registered profile in the system, or the data transmitted to the operator is incorrect.

The satellite television service provider introduced the procedure for mandatory provision of information about connected subscribers in 2017. Therefore, today all users without exception must undergo it, regardless of where exactly they purchased the equipment set.

In addition to problems with registration data, error 6 in Tricolor can occur for the following reasons:

• incorrect operation of the receiver due to failures in its firmware;
• incorrect reading of data from the smart access card;
• poor satellite signal or problems with cable lines.

Depending on the nature of the problem, if there is no access to viewing, you will have to do one of the recommended sets of works and operations.

How to provide your personal information?

In order to enter your personal data, you need to call the hotline number, where this procedure will be completed with the help of an operator. You simply dictate the necessary information to the operator, and he will fill out all the fields for you.

The second option is to go to the official website of Tricolor TV. Next, you need to register and go to your personal account, where in a special section you will register your equipment and enter the following data:

1. Equipment model.
2. ID (you can find it using the remote control).
3. Information about you, passport data and personal contacts.

After this procedure, you need to wait until your data is processed and entered into the database.

How to register equipment

Equipment must be registered depending on the place where it was purchased.

1. Subscribers who purchased Tricolor in online stores can register on the service provider’s website. It is recommended to provide truthful information, since even after accessing your personal account, the operator has the right to block access if incorrect information is detected.
2. Users who purchased a set of equipment from certified Tricolor TV sales offices can register immediately after purchase. If this is not done, it is recommended that if error number 6 occurs, contact the seller to provide the necessary data.

During registration, the user is required to provide a number of mandatory data. They include the receiver model name and device identifier. The subscriber is also required to indicate his correct passport details, telephone numbers and other contacts for communication and sending a password.

The device ID can be found in several ways:

• look at the front side of the smart card;
• find it on the receiver body sticker;
• determined in the receiver's OSD menu.

Advice! It is recommended to find out exactly how to find the device identifier in the receiver settings from its operating instructions. The procedure differs for different models.

Once a specific piece of equipment is registered on the service provider’s website and linked to the subscriber’s data, you will have to wait. At least 8 hours pass from the end of registration until the image appears on all channels. After this, error number 6 disappears, and the user can view all broadcasts within the ordered and activated subscriptions.

What to do when you don’t have access to watch Tricolor TV

If registration was successful, but the message that there is no access has not disappeared, you should just wait a little. Processing the information received by the provider can take up to 8 hours. But it is important to remember that at this moment you cannot turn off the receiver. You can turn off the monitor, but the receiver must work.

If in doubt, you should call the satellite company's contact center and check the subscriber status. Support operators will understand the current situation and explain what to do next.

Cases where the user purchased unlicensed equipment deserve special attention. In such situations, there are no correct actions to cope with difficulties. The provider will refuse to transmit the signal to such a receiver, and the only way out of the predicament will be to purchase a new, licensed set-top box.

How to improve a weak signal

A rare cause of error 6 is poor satellite signal reception . You can check the quality of the communication channel by pressing the red and blue buttons on the remote control in sequence. After this, two indicator scales appear on the screen, in its lower part, displaying percentages. If the readings are less than 70, it means that you need to do preventive maintenance and adjust the antenna unit.

1. Check the condition of the deflector plate. If there is dirt, dust, bird droppings, or foreign objects on the surface, clean it. Do not use devices that can scratch or damage the deflector coating.
2. Make sure that there is no obvious interference on the signal reception line (follow in the direction of the focus of the dish) in the form of drying laundry, branches and leaves, or other objects with a large area. If they are detected, it is worth removing the obstacles.
3. Try setting up the antenna yourself.

To configure the antenna yourself, you will need to turn it in one direction and the other, monitoring the change in signal strength using the on-screen indicators. To make your task easier, it is recommended to look at how your neighbors’ dishes are directed if they have Tricolor equipment installed. After tuning, the antenna is rigidly fixed with clamping bolts.

Advice! If you are not confident in your qualifications, you should invite specialists to configure the antenna unit. This will reduce time costs in complex cases when the horizontal and vertical rotations of the deflector plate have changed simultaneously.

Another reason for reduced satellite signal reception is bad weather conditions. If there is heavy rain, snowfall, intense fog, or excessive solar activity outside, then the broadcast cannot be received normally. There is only one way to fix this. You need to wait until the weather improves and check if error number 6 occurs.
