Watch Tricolor TV for free

Sometimes situations arise when you need to access programs from your phone that are only available on your TV. This can be useful if you want to watch your favorite programs in another room where there is no TV, or your favorite channel separately from your family. Also, no one has canceled the fact that it will be very difficult to take a TV on a trip, which cannot be said about a phone or tablet.

Tricolor TV Subscriber's personal account - Login

Tricolor TV’s personal account is a special service page that becomes available to customers immediately after registering on the company’s official website.
To access it, you need to receive a password, which is sent via SMS or email specified when creating your personal page. Login from the main page www.tricolor.tv.

In your Tricolor personal account you can:

check your personal account and see the balance on it that has not yet been used, as well as view your payment history
find out the current tariff and its characteristics
connect and pay for Tricolor TV (pay by credit card, through Sberbank, from a mobile phone)
ask the support service everything related to the operation of television or the Internet
change and/or confirm data
check information about the installment service (when does it end, what is the deadline for making the payment according to the schedule)
Change tariff. Be extremely careful when doing this. If you have enough money in your account, the debit will occur immediately after you click the “Select” button.

Who can use the service

Any user can watch Tricolor TV on a computer via the Internet, the main thing is to comply with a few simple conditions:

be a subscriber of a satellite company and pay a subscription fee for the package you like;
have an appropriate set-top box or mobile application;
have a decent connection speed that allows you to download broadcasts (recommended - 12 Mbit/s).

Nothing additional is required. It is important to emphasize that to view you need to connect one of the basic packages:

"Single";
"Extra";
"Unified Ultra HD";
"Online".

Without subscribing to one of the mentioned packages, viewing will not be possible. Special attention is paid to the fact that not all TV channels from the indicated tariffs will be available for viewing on smartphones and laptops. Some broadcasting is carried out only via satellite. The exception is when using the “Multiscreen” option, which allows you to watch your favorite programs on third-party devices. But in such cases, subscribers will have to come to terms with the fact that the option is available only within the coverage area of the wi-fi network to which the receiver is connected.

Technical ability to connect via the Internet

To watch television online, without using an antenna, you need a GS AC790 set-top box. Additionally, an Internet connection via cable or router with a speed of at least 12 Mbit is required. The broadcast will be available even with lower connection quality, but in this case the satellite company does not guarantee the stability of the TV connection.

Those wishing to use the application must ensure that they have Android version 5.0 or higher. Samsung TVs require Tizen operating system version 2.3 or higher. There are no other requirements to gain access to the broadcast. The Internet provider can be anything, the only thing that matters is the speed.

How to find out your ID number to enter your Tricolor TV Personal Account

ID is the individual code of the receiver. You will definitely need it to register and log into Tricolor TV Personal Account. Next, I will tell you how to find out your ID. There are three ways.

The first way is to look at the label on the back of the receiver. Or in the box from the receiver.
The second way: look at the text of the subscription agreement. You should have received it when you purchased the receiver. Look for the subscriber's registration number in the text. This will be the ID you need.
If you threw away the box from the equipment and cannot figure out the subscription agreement, then there is a third way. You can find out your ID directly through the TV. To do this: Turn on the TV and connect the receiver to it.
Go to the receiver menu by pressing the corresponding button on the remote control.
Select Status.

Look at the picture. The red frame highlights what you need. This is the ID that you will need to log into your personal account.

How to use the application

Operating the Tricolor widget usually does not cause any difficulties even for inexperienced users. Conventionally, the TV screen can be divided into several parts:

Left - icons that have the corresponding theme of the channels in the list (music, educational, news, etc.).
Center – a list of currently possible broadcasts. By controlling the arrows on the control panel, you can review this list.
Top bar: search, list of recommendations, and TV channels.
On the right side you can start a TV program, get acquainted with it, and decide what you can watch the next day.

To select the TV channel you like, just highlight it with the arrows and press “OK” on the remote control. The broadcast will load very quickly. To call up the control menu in this mode, just touch the “OK” key again and you can control the player or other interesting functions of the program.

To exit the running broadcast mode, you need to find one of the possible buttons on the remote control (depending on the device model):

"Exit";
"Back" or something similar.

Just a little time is enough to get used to it, understand the basic principles and using the specially installed Tricolor Online TV program for Smart TV will only bring pleasure.

Tricolor is a popular platform in Russia, providing a huge number of subscribers with analog television. A specially developed application for Smart TVs allows you to significantly expand their capabilities. By installing it on TV, you can appreciate the following advantages:

online viewing of a large number of TV channels of any genre and for different tastes;
available payment packages, where you can choose specifically to suit your preferences and financial capabilities;

modern player and other options listed earlier.

At the moment, not all Smart TV owners have access to Tricolor, since an application has not yet been written for their devices (for example, for LG). However, owners of Samsung or other manufacturers (working on Android) can start installing the widget and evaluating it now.

How to register a Tricolor TV Personal Account

Before using all the features of the official website tricolor.tv, you need to register there. To register, you will need to know the receiver ID. We already learned it from the instructions above.

"Receiver Model". Select your receiver. The name and model are written on the front panel.
"Receiver serial number." Do not confuse with ID. This is a 23-digit serial number from the warranty card. It should also be written down somewhere on the case.
"Dealer ID". This is for dealers. If you are a dealer, then you should be ashamed to look for answers to such questions in search engines.
The “Individual Code” is the 8 characters found on the external smart card of your equipment. If it is built-in, then you can find the code on the scratch card. It will consist of 11 characters.

After this, you will need to fill out another form with personal data. Do this and your account in the Tricolor system is ready! You are registered! The password for your personal account will be sent by email and SMS within 20 minutes.

Can I use my phone as a flash drive?

Many questions concern whether it is possible to connect the phone to the Tricolor set-top box and use it as a flash drive. In most tuner models, the USB connector is intended only for downloading software, and turning on a flash drive to watch movies is problematic. But new devices have connectors for installing USB drives. With their help, you can use the following services - TV Archive, Best on TV, Cinemas and Manage the Broadcast.

The company produces special drives that you can connect and use with your equipment. In particular, a 32 GB flash drive is popular and is available at sales and service centers. The device supports Plug and Play technology, which allows you to immediately use it in your work. If you connect a phone, the set-top box does not recognize it. In addition, the provider produces 500 GB external hard drives.

Let us note once again that you can connect your phone to the Tricolor set-top box using special applications Multiscreen and Tricolor Cinema and TV. As for using a smartphone as a flash drive, you need to check the tuner for this capability and use special equipment from the provider.

If a subscriber does not have the opportunity to buy or install a satellite dish, he can watch his favorite programs online. At the same time, it is important to remember that you won’t be able to watch Tricolor TV for free all channels via the Internet; you will still have to pay for viewing. But on the other hand, users will have the opportunity to save on buying a dish and get rid of the difficulties of catching a high-quality signal. The main thing is to buy equipment and enter into a subscription agreement with a well-known provider. In addition, it is important to make sure in advance that the available connection speed is sufficient so that the broadcast is not interrupted at the most interesting moment. This applies to both mobile Internet and home lines. Otherwise, viewing will become difficult.

Can a smart TV break or freeze like a PC?

The simple answer is yes. Because smart TVs perform more functions that were previously exclusive to computers and smartphones, there is a risk of freezing or even crashing.

The good news is that while crashes and poor performance were a problem in years past, such crashes are much less common now. Manufacturers are installing more powerful processors, equipping systems with improved components and more RAM, and also improving the software platforms that support applications and TV functions.

However, problems can still occur, especially on low-cost smart TVs that may not have the latest hardware and software. If you experience a frozen device, turning your TV off and on will usually solve the problem.

How do smart TVs connect to the Internet?

Smart TVs use your home Wi-Fi network to stream data, and some models can be connected to wired Ethernet. Most modern TVs support 802.11ac Wi-Fi, but older models may use the older 802.11n standard. In most cases, to connect to the Internet, you just need to select the desired network, enter the password key for it and the connection will be established.

People with larger homes should also double-check their Wi-Fi coverage. For example, if the Wi-Fi router is on the second floor and the Smart TV is in the basement, the device may not be able to stream video from Youtube or other services well. Additionally, in our testing, most Wi-Fi receivers in TVs weren't as sensitive as those in set-top boxes like Roku (more on set-top boxes below).

What is a smart TV?

Smart TVs, like smartphones and smart home devices, offer Internet connectivity and support for a range of apps. This opens up a world of new entertainment options, from streaming videos on Netflix and Hulu to gaming, checking social media, and managing an entire home full of connected gadgets, including the best Alexa-compatible devices and the best Google Home-compatible devices.

Nowadays, a growing number of models have voice recognition tools such as Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant for changing channels and searching for programs.

Smart TVs already have the ability to control smart home features, many models are compatible with other connected devices in the home, including smart lights, smart locks and other sensors, and some TVs even have a dedicated control panel to control all the devices in the connected home . Samsung's SmartThings—built into Samsung's Smart TVs—is our current favorite, but similar offerings are available on LG and Sony smart TVs.
