How do I understand that I need to switch to digital, and how to do it?
1. Turn on one of the central channels on the TV. If there is a large “A” next to the channel logo, then you need a transition. If you live in an apartment building within the city and do not see the letter “A”, then you don’t have to worry: your operator will handle all the procedures for converting to a new signal format. If you live in a private house, then you need to buy a special antenna.
2. Now you need to find out whether you need to buy additional equipment. To do this, you need to understand whether your TV supports the DVB-T2 format. You can get a consultation by phone: 8 (800) 220-20-02. If your TV does not support this format, then using the mentioned “hotline” you can find out where and which set-top box is best to buy. In addition, low-income citizens have the right to receive compensation in the amount of 1,000 rubles. To apply, you need to contact your local social security office.
4. Technical support will also help you install and configure the equipment. Pensioners can count on help from volunteer organizations at home. To call a specialist, you must also contact the social security authorities.

THEY WILL PAY AND HELP
The Ministry of Social Development of the Moscow Region said that pensioners will not be left alone with all the innovations. Firstly, all local social security authorities will provide additional information to older citizens, and will also help with the purchase and installation of equipment.
“The work is diverse,” says Irina Skvortsova, head of the Mytishchi Department of Social Protection of the Population. – We hold meetings with public pension organizations in the city and answer questions by phone. We also involve youth volunteer organizations, whose representatives go door to door and help install additional equipment.
A member of the Union of Pensioners of the Moscow Region, Valentina Tonaevskaya from Noginsk, just decided to use the help of activists.
“Even though I live in the city center, my TV is old, so, as I understand it, I will need a set-top box,” says the pensioner. “I was very worried, but then I found out that I could turn to volunteers. I will do so.
All low-income residents of the region can count on financial assistance when purchasing additional equipment.
– Low-income citizens who purchase equipment for receiving a signal in digital format costing about 1000 rubles. One-time financial assistance will be provided,” commented the Minister of Social Development of the region, Irina Faevskaya.
In addition to pensioners falling under this category, low-income families and low-income citizens living alone who find themselves in difficult life situations will be able to count on compensation. To take advantage of the benefit, just contact your local social security department or MFC.
