Setting up digital television on an old TV

The most common questions regarding DEXP TVs are related to searching for programs. The manufacturer makes every effort to simplify this process - a simple menu, step-by-step guidance in the operating instructions - but in practice there are subtleties that lead users to a dead end. We tell you how to correctly set up digital channels on a DEXP brand TV in 5-10 minutes without calling a TV technician.

Checking for digital TV support on DEXP

Before proceeding directly to the setup, let’s make sure that your equipment supports digital terrestrial TV reception. This function is only available on models that support the DVB-T2 broadcast standard.

To check for DTV support, enter your TV model number in the Search box in the table below. If it is found, feel free to start setting it up - your receiver can pick up “digital” without additional attachments.

The final stage of setup is working with image quality

Quite often there are situations when, after completing the search and settings of the program, they are broadcast in poor quality. In order to improve picture clarity and eliminate other defects, you can perform the following steps:

1. enable the HD option in the settings;
2. select the picture broadcast mode, for example, for Samsung and LG TVs, the “Cinema” mode is considered the best option;
3. manually set the contrast, brightness and colors of the image.

As practice shows, you only need to spend time and effort once to understand the TV settings and compile a list of saved TV channels, in order to subsequently comfortably watch any films and programs, without being distracted by annoying little things and problems that can ruin anyone’s mood.

If your TV does not support digital TV

If your model is not found in the table, then the TV does not have a built-in DVB-T2 tuner. There are two ways out of this situation:

1. Buying a new TV. In this case, it is necessary that the device works with the DVB-T2 standard. Prices for new models start from 8,000 rubles.
2. Buying a digital set-top box. It allows any device to broadcast free over-the-air television. At the same time, the price of the issue is from 650 rubles. Check out our rating of digital set-top boxes. After purchase, the receiver needs to be connected and configured.

Setting up channels on a TV - how to do it?

Before you can enjoy watching TV shows, movies, series, you need to set up your TV. Setting up a TV does not require special knowledge, but there are a number of nuances that will allow you to achieve ideal image quality. The task becomes especially complicated when working with satellite, cable broadcasting, and IPTV.

The procedure is relevant not only when starting the TV for the first time. The list of TV channels is updated regularly, in order for the list to be complete, new searches must be carried out regularly.

Automatic channel search

Automatic setup of digital TV on DEXP TVs is done as follows:

1. Connect the antenna to the receiver input. It is located on the back cover. If the device does not support digital TV, you must additionally connect a set-top box via the RCA port.
2. Press the "Source" button on the remote control. A table with a list of operating modes will appear on the screen. In the “Country” item, select Norway or Finland (Russia often does not give the desired result, this is a disease of many DEXP models). Use the “Up” and “Down” buttons to select “DTV” (digital television). Click "Ok" or "Enter". Some DEXP TV models keep this window active for several seconds after all actions in it are completed.

3. Press the "Menu" button on the remote control. Use the “Up” and “Down” keys to select the “Channels” section and click on the “Auto Search” function. It allows you to find and connect all 20 digital channels.

6. Specify the scan type as Full, if you know the frequency of your operator, you can specify Network.
7. Click start and wait for the channels to be fully configured.

Manual setting

In some cases, automatic tuning of DEXP TVs does not give the desired result. The device may not find a single channel or connect only a small part of them. In such a situation, perform a manual search. The procedure depends on the type of television being received; we will consider all cases separately.

On-air channels

To catch them manually:

1. On the TV remote control, press the “Menu” button.
2. Enter the section called “Channels”, select “Manual search” in it.

4. Press the “Start” button on the remote control. All available channels will be found within 3-5 minutes.

Cable channels

Manual search for cable programs occurs according to the following algorithm:

1. Connect your provider cable to your TV.
2. Using the “Menu” button on the remote control, open the settings window. In it, go to the “Channels” tab.
3. After selecting “Manual search”, pay attention to the “Antenna” item. In it you need to select the “Cable” value.

Satellite channels

When manually setting up satellite digital channels on DEXP TVs, you need to perform a little more manipulation than when searching for terrestrial and cable channels. Proceed according to the following algorithm:

4. Select manual setting. To do this, use the standard “Up” and “Down” buttons to specify frequency information.
5. Start the search process. This will take 7-10 minutes, since the number of channels is greater than on terrestrial TV.

Setting up TV without an antenna

Having high-quality cable Internet, you can watch TV without an antenna. To do this, connect the cable to the TV set-top box. There is another plus: channels from the former CIS countries will become available with excellent quality. Now the vagaries of the weather will not affect the broadcast. There is another positive point: you can watch a missed movie later at any convenient time. What Smart TV is can be found in the corresponding section of our website.

Setting up Smart TV makes it possible to watch TV programs directly from the Internet, but to do this you need to have a stable network with a speed of at least 20 Mbit/sec.

Let's look at how to set up a Smart TV. You can connect it in the following ways: connect the router and computer with a cable or use the Wi-Fi service. To ensure simultaneous access to a computer and TV via a 3G modem, a TP-Link TL-MR3420 router is used; it is also suitable for a cable network. Modern Smart TVs are equipped with a special output for connecting to a loyal network; it is connected with a cable to the router. In this case, the router gives the TV an IP address and all other necessary settings. There is nothing else you need to do, the TV is ready to go.

Some TVs have built-in Wi-Fi or the ability to connect a Wi-Fi adapter, which can be purchased separately. Which adapter to choose is indicated in the TV instructions. One more condition: the router must also have Wi-Fi. This technical possibility does not require running a cable from the router to the TV.

When connecting via wi-fi, go to “Network connection”, select the desired network, and indicate the wi-fi access password. After this, the IP address for the TV device will be automatically assigned.

Possible problems and their solutions

The main problems when setting up digital TV on DEXP TVs are:

• Slowing down the picture. Most often this problem occurs in stormy weather. The picture begins to slow down, the image breaks up into small fragments. In the worst case, it disappears completely. This problem occurs due to a weak signal. If channels are received through an antenna, you must first check the correctness of its mounting, direction and all elements installed on the way to the TV. If there are no problems with this, the trouble that has arisen can be corrected only by installing a signal amplifier. Read more about solving the problem with TV braking.
• Poor signal reception. In this case, the antenna may not be suitable for DVB-T2 reception. If this is the case, it must be replaced with a new one. Also, the reason for poor reception may be that the distance to the repeater is too great. In order to get rid of this problem, it is enough to purchase an antenna amplifier.
• Not all channels are received. The main reason for this problem is insufficient antenna gain. In addition, it may not be directed exactly at the repeater. In the first case, you will need to install an amplifier, in the second, you will need to adjust the direction. In addition, it is possible that the settings have been reset. If this happens, you need to perform the setup again manually. Read more about solving the problem with the loss of some channels.

1. After you have connected the set-top box to the TV with the appropriate cable, enter the set-top box menu.
