How to connect and configure the Tricolor Basic package

Not every user knows that every satellite TV provider has free channels. This opportunity exists thanks to the law of the Russian Federation, which obliges each subscriber to have access to the main federal television channels, regardless of payment. The Tricolor operator has such a free package as “Basic”, which is included by default in any of the paid packages. Exactly which channels are included in the “Basic” package from Tricolor TV, and how to connect it, is described below.

What is included in the tariff

The “basic” Tricolor package is a free connection that is activated for new subscribers. Every operator has a similar offer. It was created with the aim of attracting new users and offers the necessary minimum for those who do not intend to watch many channels, are looking for an alternative to regular digital TV, or have not yet decided on a paid subscription.

By connecting to Tricolor satellite TV, the buyer will have access to 20 free all-Russian channels, 2 info channels, 1 TV store, 3 radio stations. The list of basic channels is similar to those that are available for viewing on a regular antenna - these are First, Russia 1, Match TV, Fifth, NTV, STS, Friday, World and others.

You can connect to the “Basic” Tricolor TV package completely free of charge . It is activated by default and is valid until the user decides to connect one of the paid subscriptions. Having purchased and installed the equipment, you can count on the fact that the main Tricolor TV package will already be available. This is a good option for new subscribers or seniors who don't need a lot of choice.

Channels from the main free package are available at any time. Even if the user forgot to pay for a paid subscription, he will still be able to watch all-Russian channels.

What channel packages does Tricolor offer?

All packages existing in 2021 are divided into 2 categories, differing in purpose and number of available broadcasts. Conventionally, they can be called basic and additional.

The first include (indicated in brackets is the number of TV channels and the cost of an annual subscription in rubles):

"One" (224, 1500);
"Multi Light" (215, 1500);
"Unified Multi" (215, 2000);
"Unified Ultra HD" (231, 2500);
"Extra" (225, 2000).

Other tariffs should be considered additional. They are expanding the list of available programs, adding to the main set several narrowly focused programs on a certain topic.

These include (the number of TV channels is indicated in brackets):

"Ultra HD" (7);
"Children's" (22);
"Night" (7);
"Match! Premier" (2);
"Match! Football" (6).

Special options that enhance user capabilities, but do not belong to any of the categories presented above, deserve special attention:

"Multiroom";
"Online";
"Base";
Satellite Internet.

Having considered all the listed options, subscribers will be able to evaluate all the advantages of the provider and will have the opportunity to choose the offer that best suits them.

Package “Unified” – more than 200 channels in digital quality

The importance of the mentioned tariffication is indicated by the frequency of mentioning the word “single” in the names of Tricolor TV tariffs. This is what is offered instead of the optimal basis for connection. Among its most important features, it is necessary to highlight the huge number of TV channels available for viewing, which are provided to viewers for a very reasonable amount. However, the provider does not provide any special conditions or additions.

Subscribers receive television and several radio stations, without unnecessary options that are unnecessary for users. At the same time, the operator provides viewers with the opportunity to independently choose the optimal tariff type.

"Extra"

The main difference between the mentioned option and the already described proposal is the presence of three additional children's TV channels. In addition, TV viewers will like the chance to shorten the subscription period by signing up for only six months. In such a situation, the cost of viewing will be 1200 rubles. in 6 months.

The tariff plan does not provide other important features for viewers, and therefore it can be called optimal for families with children or people who are not ready to pay for the year at once. But everyone must make the final decision independently.

"Unified Ultra HD"

Another variation of the previously described Tricolor TV package. The only difference between the new offer and those discussed above is the addition of 7 broadcasts to the standard set. Their main distinguishing feature is the high level of broadcasting. All 7 TV channels will be in Ultra HD, and therefore viewers will have the chance to enjoy the highest possible level of display.

There are no other characteristic features that can distinguish the described conditions from the general background, and therefore the description should be supplemented with words that this option was created simply to expand the capabilities of subscribers.

"Ultra HD"

If you compare the name of the connection described above with the following one, you will find that it is extremely similar. It is logical that the content of the two variations will be extremely related. In this case, subscribers are offered to watch the 7 already mentioned television broadcasts in the highest possible quality. The fee for the pleasure of watching high-quality broadcast is 1,500 rubles.

This is the amount that customers will have to pay for the chance to use modern television. At the same time, given the cost, telecommunications company customers should think about choosing the previous option. This solution will help them save money.

“Children’s” – TV shows for children

Another package of Tricolor TV channels, where the name speaks for itself. It’s easy to guess that here viewers are offered a small package, which includes exclusively children’s programs and films. At the same time, subscribers are given access to 20 channels at once and three in HD format.

The price for the right to watch children's programs is:

1200 rubles per year;
or 200 rub. monthly.

It is easy to calculate that signing up for an annual subscription will bring double savings to users. However, a similar statement is true for almost every provider’s tariff plan.

"Multiroom"

“Multiroom,” unlike the offers described above, is a special service that provides customers with the opportunity to watch connected television on two TVs at once. In this case, the broadcasts will remain independent from each other. That is, movies and shows included on different devices will vary.

The price of this option is 500 rubles. Using the service requires the availability of appropriate equipment capable of relaying the signal to 2 monitors.

It is important to add that the word “Multi” in the name of the tariff indicates that the option is included in it by default.

“Night” – channels for adults

The description of the next set of channels is extremely simple, since it includes only 7 broadcasts and 1 broadcast in high quality. The unifying theme, as the title suggests, is content. The mentioned tariff contains films, programs and other materials exclusively for adults, and all presented content can be watched only by adults.

Subscription prices can be called standard for the company. The subscription fee will be:

1800 if you pay for the year at once;
300 if you pay monthly.

Packages for football fans – “Match! Premier" and "Match! Football"

The description of packages on Tricolor TV will be extremely similar when it comes to football. "Match! Premier" is intended for fans of Russian teams and is dedicated to Russian sports, therefore it includes 2 TV channels for 219 rubles. per month. "Match! Football" is not limited by such boundaries and allows you to enjoy broadcasts from all over the world. For this purpose, the tariff has been expanded to 6 items, and prices have been increased to 380 rubles monthly.

It is worth emphasizing that the content is not dedicated to sports in general, but exclusively to football; access to other sports is available in standard tariffs.

"Tricolor online"

The following offer is intended for a specific category of clients. It is designed for people who have access to high-speed Internet, but cannot install a satellite dish. It consists of providing a chance to view digital television on the official website of the telecommunications company. True, the number of TV shows will be limited and will amount to only 143 titles, and the subscription price will be 2,000 rubles annually. But when TV viewers have no alternative, such a solution can turn out to be optimal and save a lot of difficulties.

"Basic package"

The word “basic” refers to the fact that the tariff plan consists exclusively of basic television broadcasts. Moreover, they are theoretically free, since current Russian legislation prohibits satellite operators from limiting access to a small broadcast list of 20 titles.

That is, in order to gain the right to view basic broadcasts, it is enough to have the appropriate equipment and remain a subscriber. Nothing additional is needed, since the provider cannot limit clients’ rights.

"Satellite Internet"

Another important service of a telecommunications organization is the Internet. To gain access to the network, users will need a receiver (router), a dish and a paid subscription. To study prices for Tricolor Internet tariffs, you should visit the official portal of the provider. They depend on the speed and other connection conditions. But the minimum cost is set at 680 rubles monthly. Such prices allow the operator to maintain communications at a decent level, gradually increasing the quality of the services offered. In addition, companies specializing in visiting portals in particular and the World Wide Web in general set similar prices.

How to connect a package

In fact, connecting to the “Basic” tariff means purchasing equipment from the provider and setting it up after installation . There is no need to specifically select a tariff or pay for it. As stated above, the starter package costs the user nothing and is always available. In order to start watching it, you need to complete the following steps.

Buy equipment from a supplier.
Install it and configure it.
Register an account in your personal account.
Insert the smart card into the receiver.
Start the TV and select channel search on the receiver.

If the user previously used paid subscriptions, but decided to switch to the free package of Tricolor TV channels, he needs to scroll to the end of the list. Typically, by default, all-Russian (free) channels are listed last.

Features of connecting services

Having decided on the most important features of tariff plans, it remains to take a closer look at some important nuances regarding connection:

firstly, it is recommended to buy equipment and a smart card from official distributors and dealers;
secondly, when purchasing equipment from private individuals or on the secondary market, the operator does not guarantee stability and reliability of operation, and therefore the viewer may lose the right to watch television
thirdly, before installation you should make sure that nothing interferes with signal reception;
fourthly, it is advisable to take into account that the quality of broadcasting is sometimes affected by the weather;
fifthly, identification of the subscriber’s identity is required for viewing.

In addition, it is important to add that some of the services are located on the operator’s portal. This applies to both your personal account, which is necessary to manage services, and the TV program, which can be viewed here. For more detailed recommendations or assistance in dealing with difficulties that have arisen, please contact the contact center.

Setting up free channels

If for some reason the free list is not displayed, you will still need to configure the “Basic” package on tricolor TV. There are two setup options.

Automatic search. The procedure is simpler, since all that is required is its launch, but also longer.
For savvy users, Tricolor has provided a search by frequencies that correspond to certain packages. In this case, the receiver does not scan the entire space, but searches for a specific set. You can find out the frequencies at which the “Basic” package operates on the company’s official website.

Regardless of the chosen setup method, after completing the search, the user needs to save the result,, if necessary, assign new numbers to the channels on the remote control and do not forget to reboot the receiver.

Typically, setting up launch channels does not cause any difficulties for buyers. This is a fairly easy procedure. A common problem is that users forget to register in the system before starting the search, or, if it is carried out by frequency, many mistakenly search for channels not through the receiver, but through the TV, which is incorrect.

Advice! If you were unable to configure it yourself, then you need to call the provider’s hotline to receive detailed information on how to start watching television with the free “Basic” package.

How to replace the current tariff

You can make changes to the web tariff through the web services control point. To successfully carry out the procedure, you will have to use the web tariff change column. In the list that opens after selecting a column, you need to click on the tariff of the web service that interests you. After this short procedure, the web tariff will undergo changes.

It should be remembered that the web service is activated automatically if, when changing the tariff plan, you had the required amount in your account.

To transfer undistributed funds to the web account of the service that you have chosen, you need to follow the following procedure (in the section on managing your personal web account):

Specify the amount of the transferred amount.
At the transfer point, you need to select the correct web service and then transfer it.
If the web service tariff plan is disabled, it will not be possible to transfer the amount. To automatically transfer funds, you must have sufficient funds in your account.

What does subscription class "0" mean?

The principle of operation of satellite television is that data is constantly exchanged between the receiver and the satellite in space. The receiver sends signals that the satellite deciphers and, depending on the information received, provides certain content. In order for the satellite system to understand which subscription the user has, each of them is assigned its own class.

Class 0 on Tricolor TV corresponds to the “Basic” package. Other paid subscriptions have different classes. The user does not need to know them. This information may be needed in case of failures. For example, error No. 9 refers to subscription classes and indicates that the connection issued by the buyer is not available, not paid for, or not registered in the system. For everyday use, there is absolutely no need to know the classes, and if necessary, the decoding can be found on the provider’s website.
