Grundig (“Grundik”) - TV: instructions, description, reviews

Story

The company appeared in the year the Second World War ended - in 1945. It was then that Max Gruding, who had worked for a long time in a company selling radios, quit and decided to open his own production. Development began with the creation of small devices, analogues of which were already on the market. His radios enjoyed unprecedented success. By 1950, Max's small company began to increase its potential. Production of televisions began. The assortment has expanded significantly. In 1960, the equipment was already assembled outside of its native Germany - in Belfast. Then there was a feeling that this company would always be a leader in the market, but due to strong competition, all management plans changed.

For a long time, it bought shares in Grundik, and in 1993 the brand completely came into the possession of a larger competitor. But the economic crisis took its toll - the company was resold again.

Already at the beginning of 2000, the brand became “independent”. Unfortunately, by this period the company had accumulated huge debts, and it had to officially declare itself bankrupt. Now “Grundik” TVs, which have high customer reviews, are produced by a Turkish company. It is almost impossible to determine where the assembly takes place. Representatives of the Beko company do not give exact addresses, but limit themselves to the phrase that the devices are made at one of the factories they own. However, it is impossible to find out where they are produced: in Germany, Portugal, Turkey or China. Most often, “Made in Europe” is written on equipment.

List of free terrestrial digital television channels

The DVB-T2 digital terrestrial television system allows, unlike analog television, to transmit up to ten channels at once on one carrier frequency. Therefore, the list of channels approved for free broadcasting is divided into groups of ten channels each.

A selection of ten channels are broadcast over the air using one set of equipment called a Multiplex. To eliminate mutual influence, each Multiplex operates on its own carrier frequency in the decimeter range (UHF) 470-862 MHz, in which analogue programs were also broadcast. Therefore, to receive a DVB-T2 digital signal, there is no need to change the antenna and cables if they are designed for UHF reception.

In the first multiplex RTRS-1, in addition to television channels, three radio stations are broadcast.

In Moscow, a test broadcast of the third RTRS-3 multiplex is currently being conducted from the Ostankino Tower at a frequency of 578 MHz (channel 34), which in the future is planned to be organized throughout Russia.

Thus, thanks to the launch of digital terrestrial television broadcasting DVB-T2, almost anywhere in Russia you can watch 20 TV channels in high quality and listen to three radio stations for free.
