Tricolor TV cinema halls are a special option from a well-known provider that replaces TV viewers with a real cinema. At the same time, users are able to independently choose the show they like, without wasting their time and money on uninteresting films.
It is worth emphasizing that the offer is conditionally free, since most of the broadcasts are provided without additional payments; you only need to pay for a few of the most popular film shows. Additionally, it is necessary to take into account that the satellite company sets several additional conditions, without which the use of the option will be impossible. Most of the requirements are related to technical capabilities, without which it will not be possible to access the service. In short, before activating the service, you need to carefully study the rules and features of activating the option. This will avoid unpleasant surprises and difficulties.
What are Tricolor TV Cinemas?
If you take a closer look at the service, it turns out that Tricolor Cinemas are a kind of home cinema in which clients independently choose what the next show will be like. Although there are occasional exceptions to the latter rule, since some films are broadcast during a strictly established period.
An alternative view of the service will turn out to be that it is similar to a rental store, where you can buy the movie you like and watch it at any time. The main difference from the salon is only that subscribers are offered an extensive list of films available for viewing for free.
Another feature of the offer is the existence of special conditions, without which it is impossible to gain access to the online cinema and order a new film or a world-famous film that has been tested for years.

Connection and setup
To connect Tricolor TV Cinemas, you just need to subscribe to the “Unified” package. There is no need to do anything additional. But it is important to ensure that:
- the set-top box used had a built-in memory of over 8 GB (16 GB recommended);
- if there is no internal memory, you need to connect an external storage device (memory card or hard drive);
- Before use, it is recommended to format the disk and install the EXT4 file system (it is important to take into account that when formatting, everything that was previously recorded on the drive will be lost);
- It is advisable to update the receiver software to the latest version;
- In addition, you need to make sure that the receiver supports activation of the function and allows you to connect the program.
There are no other requirements, therefore, if a subscriber has difficulties watching movies, it is worth checking whether the fee for the “Unified” package has been paid and checking for software updates.
What is Cinematheque?
Cinematheque is a service that allows you not to miss your favorite show, series, or discover new content. The Tricolor TV receiver automatically records movies, talk shows and TV series with high ratings around the clock. The user can view them at any time convenient for themselves. This eliminates the need to rush to the start of the appropriate transmission.
In fact, the Tricolor service saves films and other content to an internal or external drive, and also creates a catalog of popular programs. This will allow you to find new on-air events that were simply overlooked in the huge selection of channels.
How to use Tricolor Cinemas?
When all of the above requirements are met, you can safely use the service and watch movies. To do this, just press the button of the same name on the control panel and select the appropriate broadcast from the list provided. If the proposed approach seems inconvenient, you can use the receiver’s menu and find a suitable section in it.
The symbols that mark various films deserve special attention:
- the ruble icon on the poster indicates that the session must be paid using any available payment method;
- an icon with a clock indicates a scheduled broadcast (such films can only be watched at strictly set hours, just like in a real cinema);
- The icon with the image of a flash drive indicates the need to free up space on the drive or connect a memory card.
If there are no symbols on the poster, you can watch the movie without any restrictions, at any time convenient for the viewer.
Scheme of work
It is useful for the user to know how the service works. It works like this:
- In standby mode, the receiver monitors rating TV programs on all channels of the active package.
- When you start any rating program, the receiver automatically records and saves it to the drive.
- The user can view the saved content at any time using the “Cinematheque” section in the receiver menu.
- If the storage space runs out, old recordings are deleted and new ones are written in their place.
What channels and TV shows the receiver will record directly depends on the active subscription. For example, if only the “Unified” package is connected, then programs from the channels included in it will be recorded, and when the “Children’s” subscription is activated, an additional catalog with cartoons and programs for children will become available. The system supports recording of TV shows on channels from the “Children’s”, “Night” and “Unified” packages.
Subscribers do not need to think about how to record a movie or program on Tricolor TV. If the receiver supports, then the content will be saved automatically. You just need to connect a flash drive of the required size to the receiver.
