Earlier, the Ministry of Telecom and Mass Communications approved a plan for a phased disconnection from analogue television and radio broadcasting in the constituent entities of the Russian Federation as part of the transition to digital in December 2021. The switch-off from analogue broadcasting was decided to be divided into three stages from January to June 2021, namely February 11, April 15 and June 3. During the first wave of transition to digital, analogue TV was replaced in the Penza, Magadan, Ryazan, Ulyanovsk, Tula, Yaroslavl regions, as well as in the Chechen Republic. On April 15, another 20 Russian regions switched from analogue to digital television broadcasting. Among those who switched from analogue to digital TV were Moscow, Moscow region, Kalmykia, Mordovia, Karachay-Cherkessia, Chuvashia, Kabardino-Balkaria, Stavropol Territory, Udmurtia, Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug, as well as Kemerovo, Amur, Ivanovo, Kirov, Kostroma, Kurgan, Lipetsk, Novgorod, Sakhalin, Tyumen regions. It was planned that the transition process would end with the third stage on June 3, when the remaining 57 regions would be transferred to digital.

What can you watch for free?

Two packages of domestic channels, which are called multiplexes. Another one, the third, can only be watched by Muscovites for a limited number of hours a day. However, in the future it is planned to open it to all Russians.

What's included in multiplexes?

• The first package, RTRS-1, includes nine news channels and one sports channel.
• RTRS-2 has ten TV channels with entertainment programs and films.

RTRS-1 and RTRS-2 are broadcast from towers to a house or apartment where there is a receiving antenna or TV.

To configure your TV to receive TV broadcasts manually, you first need to determine the multiplex broadcast frequencies for your city or region.

Common problems and their solutions

Channels are not picked up at all, “no signal”

In this case, you need to check:

• equipment for breakdowns (TV, antennas and connecting cable). If you discover a problem, you should contact a specialist;
• antenna adjustment. The UHF antenna is extremely sensitive to the vector of the incoming signal. In most cases, changing the orientation of the antenna helps;
• distance to the repeater and signal strength. This information is provided by the RTRS service. Most likely, your receiver is in a “dead zone” that is not covered by television broadcasts. Unfortunately, until new towers are installed, reception in this area is impossible. You will have to resort to satellite broadcasting, available anywhere open to the south;
• being in a radio silence zone. The passage of the signal may be hampered by a nearby natural object (hill, mountain, etc.) or a man-made obstacle (main walls and ceilings). The situation can be corrected by changing the position of the antenna (for example, installing it on the roof), which allows you to get out of the radio shadow. The second option would be to connect to another repeater located within a radius of 30-35 km.

Only part of the channels are caught

Here you need to check:

• setting up a broadcast from a nearby tower. It is necessary to configure each multiplex on a separate frequency manually;
• setting up the tuner in the system itself. A number of channels may not have been preserved. Repeated automatic or manual TV tuning will help correct the situation.

There were channels, but they disappeared

If the signal was previously received reliably, but then the channels disappeared, the reason for this may be:

• the appearance of new obstacles on the way to the antenna from the repeater. You need to explore the surrounding area using a reception map;
• technical problems with the repeater. It is customary to cover such events with the help of alerts, which can be found in the regional media, local forum or public page.
• antenna malfunction. When using collective, you need to contact the service company. If you are using an individual one, it is worth checking the position of the antenna cable for a break and the position of the antenna itself.

Weak signal

The reasons are similar to the case of a complete absence of signal:

• long distance between receiver and repeater. The only solution to the problem is to purchase a new active antenna capable of receiving weak signals;
• radio silence zone. The antenna position needs to be changed.
