Antenna installation

Installation and configuration of satellite broadcasting begins with the installation and configuration of the antenna.
To begin, select the location for connecting the plate. The imaginary line from the antenna to the satellite should not be blocked by obstacles: buildings, trees, etc.

The antenna should not be installed in attics, balconies or other enclosed spaces.

The plate itself must be assembled according to the instructions supplied with the plate. The bracket is attached to the wall with elements that will be reliable for the specific wall material and also correspond to the strength of the wind.

When you entered the coverage area on the website, you would see a green line by placing a dot on the map. This line shows the direction to the satellite and the corresponding azimuth (the angle between the north direction and the satellite).

It is recommended to download the Protractor and SatFinder phone application, which can be used to set the antenna direction. You will need to select the ABS 2-75 E satellite.

You will also need a compass to determine north. You need to stand with your back to the place where the dish is connected, find the north and set aside the azimuth, which is shown in the application or on the website. Now you know where the antenna should be pointed.

A holder is attached to the antenna, and the converter is inserted into it, with the connector facing down (to prevent precipitation from getting inside). Now you can attach the antenna to the bracket on the wall. But it needs to be secured in such a way that it can be turned with effort. After final adjustment, complete immobilization will be required.

After this, you need to prepare the cable by connecting the F-connector to both ends.

The cable is inserted into the converter connector and attached to the holder using, for example, electrical tape. The second end of the cable will connect to the set-top box or TV if a CAM module is used.

Now, in order to receive satellite TV from MTS, you still need to configure the dish.

To configure the MTS satellite antenna, perform the following steps:

• The smart card must be inserted into the receiver or CAM module;
• Connect the set-top box with an HDMI cable to the TV;
• Turn on the TV and set the reception mode from the output to which the receiver is connected;
• Turn on the set-top box. Find the antenna setup menu (may have a different name depending on the model);
• A scale of the signal level coming from the dish will appear;
• Now you need to adjust the antenna position. To do this, it is moved left, right, down or up in steps of about 1 cm. After each movement, you need to wait a few seconds for the signal change to be displayed;
• Having reached the best scale value (it should be at least 70%), you can finally fix the antenna.

What equipment will you need to watch satellite TV from MTS?

To watch satellite TV from MTS you will need:

1. TV.
2. Multifunctional receiver from MTS. This can be an interactive set-top box, a standard TV set-top box or a special CAM module. It is worth noting that the module allows you to use MTS TV without a set-top box. The interactive set-top box is equipped with a 3G modem, with which you can connect to the World Wide Web. A standard set-top box makes it possible to broadcast HD channels. Important: The CAM module produces channels provided that the TV has a DVB-S2 receiver and a CI connector.
3. Fastening elements, antenna.

You will need:

1. Cable connecting the antenna to the set-top box. The complete set from MTS includes this cable.
2. Remote control.

Necessary equipment

To connect satellite TV you will need the following equipment:

• Antenna with a diameter of 0.6 or 0.9 m (this option is for weaker reception);
• MTS TV set-top box or CAM module (depending on the TV model);
• Smart card;
• Converter is a device that is mounted on the antenna feed and receives a signal from the transponder;
• TV or coaxial cable RG-6.

If your TV is equipped with a DVB-S2 receiver with a built-in CI/CI+ connector, then there is no need to install a set-top box. To do this, you need to use a CAM module, which will decode the signal and coordinate it with the television device.

A smart card is a plastic card with a built-in chip with an individual subscriber number. It is inserted into the set-top box (receiver) or CAM module.

Now you can call the contact center toll-free number 8 800 250 0890 (or 0877 - short number for mobile phones) and call a wizard who will perform the complete setup. Or start setting up the system on your own.

Where to find the numbers required for activation

The reason may also be bad weather conditions, under which there will be no contact at all. A common explanation for the error is technical work on the provider’s side. In this case, activation is impossible and you will have to wait.
2. Error with code E. To obtain detailed information about the causes of the error, you need to contact the MTS call center or look at the transcript on the organization’s website. When another letter appears, you can talk about problems with TV.
3. Sound and video are different. In this case, you should reset the settings to factory settings.

5. The remote control doesn't work.

As can be seen from the article, connecting and activating MTS satellite TV should not cause difficulties. Any user can easily cope with this task, even without special skills and knowledge of technical issues. As for the setup itself, the process is more labor-intensive and may require calling a specialist to solve it.

In any case, MTS clients have access to a hotline, with the help of which they can quickly resolve any difficulties that arise. The operator helps connect the equipment, go through activation and links the client’s data to his personal account.

How to set up MTS digital TV on TV

The principle of setting up an MTS dish with your own hands differs depending on whether a cam module or an interactive set-top box is used.

How to set up MTS TV on a TV with cam:

1. Disconnect the TV from the outlet.
2. We connect the cable from the antenna to the TV. You should select the port marked SATELLITE.

3. Carefully insert the module into the CI port of the TV.
4. Install the smart card into the module.
5. Turn on the TV and switch it to DVB-S2 mode.
6. Most of the settings will be correct, you just need to check the transponder frequency - 11920 MHz, the LNB local oscillator frequency - 10600 MHz. In theory, this is enough, but it is better to check the remaining parameters with the data in the screenshot.

If you used a special program to configure the MTS satellite dish (SatFinder) and set all the parameters correctly, everything should work instantly. However, in the case of a set-top box, the principle of operation is slightly different.

How to set up an MTS set-top box for your TV:

1. Even before turning on the device, we install the SIM card in the designated port.
2. We are waiting for the initialization to complete (only needed the first time).
3. We activate the equipment using one of the methods above.
4. Create a user profile. Go to “Access Level” and set the age and password, which is initially 0000.
5. We start scanning channels.

6. After completing the search, we can start watching the found TV channels.

We recommend that you immediately buy a set-top box with the required number of HDMI channels for several devices, or better yet, with a reserve.

How to connect a tuner

To connect a standard receiver with HD channels, you must complete the following steps:

1. The SIM card is inserted into the tuner, after which it can be connected to the network.
2. If the green button on the set-top box lights up, it means the device started up in normal mode.
3. After starting the TV receiver, switch it to one of the operating modes: HDMI or AV.
4. In the menu displayed on the screen, you can set the interface language and image settings.
5. Find available channels using the “Search” button.

To connect the CAM module:

1. Initially disconnect the TV receiver from the network. Insert the antenna plug into the SATELLITE connector.
2. Connect the CAM module to the mounted port, and then insert the SIM card into it.
3. If a notification appears with the words “Module found,” it means that the user did everything correctly.
4. To view channels, you will need to select signal reception in DVB-S format. Instructions will appear describing the sequence of further steps.

To complete activation, you must set the following characteristics: search type - fast or network, symbol rate must be 6875 Kps, and the signal frequency must be 298000KHz.

Satellite television from this provider has many advantages:

• There are service centers and payment acceptance points in almost all cities.
• A huge number of channels. Only in the standard configuration there are at least 130 of them.
• Affordable cost of equipment and connected services.
• Satellite antennas supplied by the provider have a long service life, thanks to a special protective layer. The product is not afraid of bad weather conditions, so subscribers will be able to enjoy their favorite programs all year round.
• Internet access is provided on an unlimited basis. You can connect any gadget to satellite TV, such as a laptop, tablet or smartphone.

Regardless of the chosen activation method, the service will be available in test mode until the operator receives the originals of the signed agreement.

Test mode provides access to the basic package for 10 days. During this period, connecting paid services will not be possible. Even if the authorization procedure has been completed correctly, access to additional services will only be available after the contract has been transferred.

When must the equipment be activated? There are no restrictions in this regard; for example, a kit purchased in winter can be connected six months later.

Free or for 10 rubles/month. when connecting to the “Home Internet + TV” tariff

This is a device for watching digital TV without using an HD set-top box. To use the CAM module, you need a TV equipped with a DVB-C receiver with a built-in CI connector (CI slot) - as a rule, these are TVs older than 2012. For other TVs, an HD set-top box or interactive set-top box is suitable.

The CAM module is mounted on the back panel of the TV in a special connector. You continue to control the TV with your usual TV remote control.

Set-top box activation

To watch television from this provider you will need a TV receiver, antenna and a special MTS device. Usually this is a standard or interactive set-top box or a special CAM module. Interactive equipment allows you to use a 3G modem, which makes it possible to access the Internet.

Channels can be viewed using the CAM module only if the TV has a CI connector and supports the DVB-S2 format. To connect, you will need additional devices: cables and a remote control. And then you can already activate MTS satellite TV.

Before using the services of the provider, you need to go through the activation procedure. After drawing up a bilateral agreement, the subscriber will receive a SIM card, with the help of which the signal is decoded. The key will contain all the necessary information, from the name of the package to the ID number of the set-top box and the validity period of the contract. Activation allows you to establish a mutual connection between the receiver, card and personal account.

To connect services you will need to follow the following instructions:

• Conditional access module from Tricolor

• First of all, connect the necessary cables and start the tuner. When using a CAM module, it must be inserted into the TV receiver.
• The next step is to install the SIM card. It should take about a minute for it to load.
• Inscriptions will appear on the screen prompting the user to choose the most convenient activation method.
• After authorization, the created profile must be saved. Login restrictions can be configured. To do this, select the “Access Level” tab and set a security password.
• The last stage is searching for channels. After the search is completed, all found channels will be displayed on the screen.

You can proceed to activating the MTS satellite TV smart card. To use the CAM module, you first need to contact the MTS satellite department. If for some reason the user cannot call the operator and ask to use the equipment, another method is provided: send a message to the short number 9909.

In the message you will need to indicate the smart card number, put a space and enter the chip ID number of the receiver or CAM device. This method is only suitable for mobile phone users from the operator. Other subscribers need to send a message to +7-985-000-0890. Line equipment can also be activated on the provider’s official website.

Installation and configuration of MTS satellite antenna

You will need to open the installation package and remove all the parts from the box. There should also be assembly instructions and a passport with technical characteristics. Thanks to these documents, you can easily assemble the antenna.

How to assemble an antenna

However, some users prefer to assemble the antenna manually without purchasing a kit from the provider, which already contains all the necessary parts. To do this you need to buy the following spare parts, tools and equipment:

• Attachment or module. If there are several devices, then you will need the same number of gadgets;
• Satellite antenna;
• Bracket;
• Converter with the required number of outputs (for each device);
• Coaxial cable;
• F connector;
• Set of keys and screwdrivers.

Assembly diagram and instructions

1. The bracket is attached to the antenna, the reliability of the structure is ensured thanks to tightly tightened nuts.
2. The larger and more massive bracket is located in the opposite direction from the antenna, since it will support the entire structure attached to the wall.
3. It is also necessary to install the converter to the support so that its front side is towards the mirror.
4. Attach the F-connector to the antenna cable so that it fits snugly against the braid.
5. Insert the antenna cable into the connector of the converter and insulate the place where it will enter.
6. Extend the cable to the TV and connect it to the set-top box.
7. Insert the MTS TV smart card into the set-top box. If you selected MTS Interactive TV, also insert the SIM card into the appropriate slot.
8. All that remains is to connect the set-top box to the TV with an HDMI cable and plug it into the network.

For the convenience of users, below is a video that describes in detail the process of assembling a satellite dish:

How to attach to the wall

After the device is assembled, the user can install it on the wall of the house.

For accuracy, you can use a pencil, lean the bracket against the surface, and then trace the future holes. Dowels are used for fastening. It is necessary to tighten the nuts tightly so that the structure is not damaged during wind and rain. It is not necessary to install the antenna high, the main thing is that the device is pointed upward and does not dangle.

How to adjust the rotation angles of the antenna and converter

On the official website, the user has the opportunity to find out the azimuth, as well as the direction relative to his place of residence, which will provide a high-quality signal. The signal transmission level on the converter must be greater than 65%, otherwise there will be interference during broadcasting.

Below is a video instruction for setting up the antenna. The technician talks in detail about installing a satellite dish and analyzes the client’s mistakes. The video will be informative not only for setting up, but also for properly mounting the device.

How to check the signal

You can track the signal using the TV that is turned on (you will first need to configure the set-top box or module). Or you will need to download applications that help you check the signal level.

You can download the SatFinder software from Google Play or Apple Store.

You will need to select a satellite that broadcasts - ABS2. Next, click on the magnifying glass icon and indicate your location. The software will download the data (to do this you need to connect to the mobile Internet or Wi-Fi), after which a red line will indicate the correct direction of the antenna. When turning, the signal quality will improve.

Alternatively, the user can use a program on the provider’s official website, developed for such cases.

How to connect an MTS SIM card on a phone, tablet or modem

MTS telecommunications services cover not only classic mobile communications for phones, but are also successfully adapted for tablets and USB modems.

Please note that, knowing how to activate a new MTS SIM card on your phone, you can thus register a card intended for a tablet, modem or router. After completing the registration procedure, the SIM card is removed from the phone and another operating device is installed

But this universal algorithm is not always convenient, so the provider has provided separate methods for activating SIM cards for different types of devices.

Activating an MTS SIM card from a mobile phone

The bulk of cards sold by the operator are used in mobile phones and smartphones. To go through the procedure of registering a new number in the MTS cellular network using your phone, you can use the following methods.

Sending a USSD request

A convenient way to activate a SIM on your own is to send a USSD request *111#. After waiting a few minutes, you can try making a call or sending an SMS message.

On a note! MTS Service *111# does not require a separate connection and is responsible for managing the account, tariff plan and services on the phone. For example, the command:

• *111*2# is for checking your balance;
• *111*2*5# will provide the user with details of the current tariff;
• *111*4# will allow you to find out the latest news, weather forecast, etc.

You can also activate the SIM card using the USSD command *111*2#, since the new number already has a starting balance. If, in response to this request, the subscriber received information about the account status, it means that the card was successfully registered on the network.

Call the MTS subscriber support center

In a situation where a call center specialist is involved to activate a SIM card, it is necessary to provide the ability to call from another MTS cell number or use a landline phone.

For on-net calls from a mobile phone, a short service number is 0890. When calling the MTS help desk from a landline phone, you need to use a separate number 88002500890. Since activating a new SIM card is a well-established and functionally simple procedure, a successful solution to this problem will take a minimum of time.

Visit to the MTS office

MTS offices and communication shops are distinguished by high quality services and allow you to easily resolve a huge list of questions regarding changes in number settings. But in order to receive free assistance of this kind, the subscriber will need to confirm ownership of the SIM card by presenting his passport at the office.

As when calling the provider’s call center, SIM activation by an MTS office employee is a matter of a few minutes.

Activating an MTS SIM card from a tablet

Registration of MTS SIM with a tariff plan for tablet computers is also implemented in several ways. To activate a SIM card from your tablet, you can use:

• USSD command *111#.
• Call the customer support center at 0890 (from mobile) or 88002500890 (from landline).
• Visit to an MTS office or a certified communication shop.

Before installing the card into the tablet slot, you must completely turn off the device. Once your tablet is turned on again, it can automatically detect the card and begin identifying it on the network.

If the subscriber correctly fills out the fields offered by the program, using codes from the plastic card carrier, the number will be successfully activated. Here you may need to check your balance with the command *111*2# and then top up your account.

Registering a new MTS SIM card on the modem

The provider tries to simplify as much as possible the mechanism for accessing the Internet using a USB modem or router. For this purpose, special tariff plans are provided, and the electronic devices themselves are sold complete with a prepared SIM card. It is enough to insert the card into the device slot, connect the modem to the computer, wait for the software installation to complete and connect to the global network, thereby activating the number.

As we have already mentioned, if you have difficulties registering a card from a modem, you can always temporarily replace the SIM card in the phone, send the necessary USSD request, and after activating the number, return the card to the wireless module slot. Also, the necessary technical support will always be provided by specialists from the call center or MTS office.

How to connect Satellite TV and register in your personal account

Connecting to satellite television from MTS begins with submitting an application. To register it, choose a convenient method - call the operator on the hotline, visit the MTS office, or register on the website.

Next, an application for connection is filled out on the electronic resource located at www.sputnik.mts.ru.

• Select a connection option from those presented by the MTS operator.
• Fill out an application indicating your region of residence, first and last name, and leave your number.
• Check the box indicating your consent to the processing of personal data and confirm the “Send request” action.
• Wait for a call from a specialist with whom you will discuss connection conditions.

An important condition for registration is the connection of the selected service. If the service is already connected, then the user account is automatically registered. Activation occurs after logging in using one of the three methods listed above.

What do you need to know before buying a satellite dish?

Connecting MTS satellite TV yourself is an absolutely doable task, but it’s better not to rush in this matter. There are several steps that we definitely recommend taking before purchasing any equipment or paying for services.

This includes:

Checking that a specific region is within the MTS coverage area. Now there is a completely stable signal in almost all points of the country, with the exception of the Kamchatka Territory and the Chukotka Autonomous Okrug. The coverage area is best seen in the photo below. If the region is marked on the map, then there is a signal, but in places marked with light colors, its quality may raise questions.

Find a suitable installation location

Everything is important: degree of turn, angle of inclination, terrain, etc.

The most important variable among all others is the direction of the MTS satellite dish. We can navigate “by eye” the old fashioned way, but there is a more modern way. To determine where to point your satellite dish, we recommend downloading the SatFinder app. For it to work, you need to grant permission to access GPS. The program will indicate a fairly accurate direction for rotating the antenna.

It is useful to know which satellite MTS TV is on, this will allow you to indirectly determine the quality of future communications. Which satellite the MTS dish has is absolutely no secret; the provider officially states that it has ABS2A.

How to assemble an MTS satellite dish?

Before installing the MTS satellite dish, you still need to select it. This is not difficult to do according to the general recommendation: in places marked on the map in dim color, you should use an antenna with a diameter of 0.9 m, in other regions - 0.6 m.

Let's assume that the set-top box (or cam module), as well as the satellite dish, are already ready. What else will you need during installation:

• plate bracket;
• converter;
• coaxial wire;
• 2°F ports;
• set of screws and keys.

The general assembly principle is approximately the same for most antennas, but there are some subtleties. That is why we recommend using the instructions included in the kit. It is important to carefully tighten the fasteners so as not to damage the integrity of the housing or bracket. Next you need to secure the mount itself to the wall. Using nuts and bolts, connect the antenna to the bracket, being sure to use the nuts to adjust the angle of the dish (they should not be tightened). The last thing you need to do is connect the cables.

Advantages of MTS satellite Internet and television

Firstly, the satellite dish covers almost the entire territory of the country. Therefore, the signal will be strong enough even in hard-to-reach regions. Most often, problems with signal quality and stability are experienced by residents of private sectors and houses located in mountainous areas. However, when using satellite television and the Internet, you won’t have to worry about this. Even the costs in such cases for the services provided will be less than in the case of laying terrestrial cables.

The second advantage of satellite television and the Internet is that when connected, residents of private sectors and hard-to-reach areas can receive good image and sound quality and a stable Internet signal. Without a satellite dish, it is simply impossible to use digital TV with 1080 resolution and Dolby Digital sound quality in these places.

The third advantage of MTS satellite Internet is that thanks to the large coverage area, users get access to a huge number of TV channels.

If desired, the client can take advantage of a unique function available to owners of satellite television. It consists in the ability to change the language of the audio track. Users have access to not only Russian-language channels, but also foreign ones that use the same type of data transmission.

FAQ

Why do you need to register equipment? If the activation operation is not carried out or if there is no contract at the MTS office, the subscriber will only be able to use a test version of viewing basic channels for ten days (without the ability to view additional channels). When should I activate the equipment? It is not at all necessary to activate a newly purchased kit. The activation operation is performed immediately before viewing (for example, if you purchased a kit for the summer months at the dacha or in a country house and do not plan to use it right now). If your tariff plan includes a free period of using the service, then the validity period begins from the moment you sign the paper contract or the date the contract is concluded online. How long does it take to activate? If you used the activation service by sending an SMS message, online registration, or when purchasing from a dealer, your equipment set will be activated within ten minutes. If you contact the hotline via phone call, the application will be processed and executed within one minute. What should I do if activation by self-registration is not possible? In some cases, when purchasing a kit, the online registration service is not available. If the system fails, you must fill out a paper contract, or contact the MTS hotline service (when purchasing in retail electronics stores). What to do if the smart card is not activated? You must go through the activation procedure again. How to register if there is no reliable network signal at the installation location? If the network reception is poor, then you need to disconnect the TV from the power supply without turning off the set-top box. You can complete the activation procedure in any place where there is a network signal.

How to activate a smart card

The next step is to activate the Smart TV card for MTS TV satellite television. During the procedure, the device is linked to a specific subscriber and the equipment he uses (set-top box or CAM module).

You can activate your MTS Smart TV card in four ways: by phone, via SMS, at a dealer or at the company’s office. Let's consider each activation method separately:

Telephone. To register an MTS satellite, dial the call center number 8-800-25-008-90. The operator will answer you and ask him to authorize the equipment. A similar method can be used if satellite television has remained unused for a long time. For example, you went on vacation for a month, and after returning you discovered that your TV was blocked.

SMS. An easier way to activate is to send a special message to +7-985-00-008-90. In the SMS you must indicate the following text “smart card number SPACE Chip ID module or set-top box). Sending a message is possible from a phone connected to any operator. MTS subscribers do not need to pay for a message, but users of other operators will have to pay a certain amount (depending on the current tariff).

If you are using an interactive set-top box in a region where there is a stable 3G signal, activation is not necessary. When you first turn on and start the search, this process takes place without any measures on the part of the subscriber. If there is no mobile Internet network, use the methods above.

Until this step is completed, only the basic package of channels is available to the user. In this case, additional services selected by the subscriber are not provided. As soon as MTS receives a contract, the client has full access to the service.

All the ways to register satellite TV from MTS without involving a specialist are discussed above. If you can’t do the work yourself, you can invite a company technician who will set up the equipment and activate it.

• If a cam module is installed, the cable bypasses additional equipment. Connect it to the connector marked SATELLITE.

What it is

A smart card for a TV is a device for accessing cable or satellite television. It decrypts the signal from the satellite and in return provides data about the subscriber - information about subscriptions, tariffs, etc. It looks like a bank card with a chip and information printed on the surface. Smart cards are used by many operators, but for each of them they are unique, that is, they are linked to a specific provider and user. That is why it is not enough to buy and configure a card; you need to register and activate it to get started.

The connection is made directly to the TV, if a conditional access module is used, or through a set-top box. In the first case, the TV must have a corresponding built-in receiver and CI connector. The plastic card is inserted face up into the CAM module. Next, the module is placed in the slot, while the TV must be turned off. If the TV is not equipped with a CI slot, then the card is inserted into the receiver, which acts as an intermediary between the access card, satellite and TV.

Important! You can connect satellite television from MTS using a CAM module for 3,840 rubles. The price includes a CAM module, a smart card and a month of subscription.

It is more profitable to buy a promotional kit with a 0.6 m satellite dish, CAM or set-top box, and a smart card for 3,990 rubles.
