Fans

“2x2” has existed in various forms since 1989, but came to its current form as a result of rebranding, which ended on April 1, 2007.
The restart became a real salvation for the channel. In 2005 and 2006, almost the entire 2×2 broadcast network consisted of TV store episodes. The new version of “2x2” turned out to be the first commercial channel in Russian history to show cartoons most of the time. The project appeared at a time when the younger generation increasingly and pointedly refused to “watch the box,” and for some time it managed to save the image of television in the eyes of young people. Teenagers were not shy about writing online that they were watching “2×2”; the channel was often turned on during home New Year’s parties as an alternative to various “Blue Lights”.

The potential disappearance of “2x2” from the broadcast network caused a strong reaction among network users.

In 2008, they wanted to close 2x2 for violent cartoons. In 2021, 2x2 will be transferred to cable TV, replacing it with TNT-2. Evil has won, but everyone will endure.

There were also those who noted that the transition to cable broadcasting would not change the situation much.

On the other hand, outside the capital, it is still in Kabela, so for two-thirds of the country nothing will change.

Do a Hard Reset if there is no other solution

When we try the previous methods, we will have to resort to a Hard Reset, which will work with our Realme X2 Pro to delete all files , photos and other data. We can try to connect it to our computer via a USB cable, but if it does not detect it, we should not force it.

To hard reset Realme X2 Pro, you need to follow these steps:

  • When the phone is frozen, press the button to turn on and turn down the volume at the same time.
  • When the Realme logo appears, we release both buttons.
  • We choose English.
  • Using the volume keys we place ourselves in Wipe the data.
  • With the power button we accept.
  • We put ourselves on data format and accept.

Once all the data and files are deleted, our X2 Pro Reme will turn on again just like the first day we bought it and we can use it again without any problem.

Cartoons for adults, risky content

In addition to the image of television in Russia, “2x2” also changed the image of animated television series. At one time, domestic viewers were introduced to “South Park” by MTV, and “The Simpsons” by REN TV, but “2x2” was entirely built on the basis of the “cartoons for adults” category, finally “legitimizing” this genre. Most of the cartoons that were shown on the channel had an age rating of “16 and older.”

“2x2” also became famous because of its appetite for risk. No other Russian broadcast channel could show anything stranger than Aqua Teen Hunger Force (an animated series about superheroic fast food) or “Half-Litre Mouse” (a strange American show, as if drawn by a three-year-old child).

Don’t forget about popular Russian projects like Reutov TV or HOBOSTI.

In October 2015, it became known that “2x2” would be the first among Russian channels to show the final of the eSports World Championship.

LG TV does not show digital channels - what to do?

Find out all the possible reasons why your LG TV does not show digital channels. What to do if the TV does not search or has stopped picking up channels - effective tuning methods.

Nowadays it is difficult to imagine a house or apartment without a TV. And more and more often, users are choosing TVs with SmartTV, which allows them to watch movies and TV series in high quality. Connecting digital television is not difficult, but it happens that there are no channels. Let's look at the situation when an LG TV does not find digital channels, and ways to solve this problem.

First, let's look at how to properly configure digital channels. The procedure for setting up channels is the same on all modern LG TVs. Only the menu items may differ slightly in name:

  • Turn on the TV and go to the main menu of the TV by pressing the “Home” button on the control panel with the image of a house.
  • Open the “Settings” or “Preferences” section by clicking on the gear icon.
  • Select the “Channels” section from the list.
  • Next, select “Search for channels and settings.”
  • In the window that opens, you must select “Terrestrial TV (DVB-T/T2 and Analog)” from the list and click the “Next” button.
  • If you are only interested in digital channels, you will need to check the appropriate box.
  • After this, the TV will start automatically searching for digital channels. Once the TV finds channels, it displays them on the screen. If some channels are missing from the list, change the antenna position and repeat the auto search.

You can also try changing the search parameters, for example, choosing a different country. If the TV was released after 2011, then choose Russia. If after, then one of the countries of Western Europe. At the same time, install the Russian language so that there are no problems during subsequent setup. Or try manual channel search.

If the LG TV does not find digital channels, then first you need to identify the reasons and then eliminate them. In some cases, the situation can be corrected on your own, but sometimes it is worth seeking the help of a specialist.

Problems with setting up digital channels arise due to a lack of signal or a connection failure. It is necessary to check the functionality of each device.

First of all, you need to make sure that the TV supports the DVB-T2 broadcast format. You can check this on the official LG website in the characteristics of the broadcast system; you need to select your device among the TV models. If DVB-T is specified, then you will need to buy a set-top box, since this format does not support digital broadcasting.

If you have made sure that your TV supports digital broadcasting, but your LG TV still does not find digital channels, you should check the antenna. Incorrect antenna location is the most common mistake why TV channels are not tuned in. On the official website with maps of TV towers, you can enter your address and see where the closest one is located to you, then turn the antenna towards this TV tower. HF antennas are used to transmit an analog signal, and UHF antennas for a digital signal.

LG TV does not find digital channels even after checking the antenna? Check the cable too. Even a slight bend in the wire can affect the quality of digital television transmission. The entire cable must be inspected for damage or kinks. Also check if the plug is working. If you find damage, the wire will need to be replaced.

Sometimes the reason why the LG TV does not find digital channels may be that the equipment is not connected correctly to the TV. Before setting up channels, you need to make sure that everything is connected correctly. If you have a decimeter antenna, then first it is connected to the receiver, and only then to the TV. If you have cable television, the wire is connected to a separate input of the device.

Another problem in setting up digital channels can be a software failure. This may occur if the wrong frequency is selected, or if the software in the receiver(s) is not updated and no longer supported. To update the software, you need to download the latest version of the update from the manufacturer's website and reinstall it. Sometimes a simple reboot of the devices helps with a software failure; to do this, you need to turn them off and disconnect them from the power source for 15-20 minutes, then reconnect them. Sometimes you can resort to resetting the parameters and re-configuring the channels.

Broadcast quality can also be affected by weather conditions, such as rain, thunderstorms or severe frost. In this case, you will need to turn off the TV and continue watching later. Also, from time to time, providers carry out maintenance work; in this case, you can contact them and clarify the completion date of the work.

If you don’t see one particular TV channel, then it may have stopped broadcasting or changed its frequency. You can find out about this on the official website of the TV channel.

In all other cases, the equipment failed. To diagnose it, you will need to contact a service center, where they will determine the cause and carry out repair work. If the problem is with the TV, contact an LG service center.

"Correct" translations

Almost from its very foundation, “2x2” found another important path to the hearts of viewers - “correct” translations. Instead of using voice acting from professional studios, which often took away the roughness and charm of the original, “2x2” worked with “pirate” teams like Dmitry Puchkov’s studio.

Now the series “Rick and Morty” is on the channel with voice acting from Dmitry Syenduk, who primarily gained popularity on the Internet.

In a conversation with TJ, the marketing director of the media brand “Syenduk” called the channel’s transition to “cable” logical.

This was to be expected; the turning point for “2x2” was 2013 - then the channel’s quality and ratings began to drop sharply. The constant change of directors also did not lead to anything good. The channel has long been facing either a good refresh with a new broadcasting schedule or closure.

Of course, there were several interesting decisions in terms of providing “2x2” with new content, one of which was the cult animated series “Rick and Morty” in our voice acting, but the rest of the content simply killed it, filling it with various tasteless trash and promoting sexism.

This is probably a good decision - to shift “2x2” to cable TV, but we hope that at the same time the management will make changes to the broadcast network.
Ivan Karpov, Marketing Director of the Syenduk media brand

How to restore Realme X2 Pro when it's frozen

This error occurs more often than we would like, not only in Realme, but also in other mobile phones, although, fortunately for us, the company thought of a solution that will work in most cases. It doesn't matter whether the Realme X2 Pro freezes during startup or after it when we use it.

The solution that Realme offers us is to keep the Start button and increase the volume press simultaneously for 8 seconds to restart it. After this time, we release the buttons and Realme X2 Pro restarts without deleting anything from our mobile and we can use it again as usual.

Existence on the edge

Due to the specific nature of its content, 2x2 existed almost constantly on the edge. In the first years after its appearance, many Russians couldn’t wrap their heads around the fact that a channel with animated series might not be for children.

Therefore, “2x2” constantly had to deal with various bans and censorship. In 2008, he was subjected to an inspection by the Prosecutor General's Office and almost lost his license due to a number of his cartoons.

And since 2012, he began to cut the cruel parody cartoon “The Itchy and Scratchy Show” from “The Simpsons”, and show “South Park” only after 11 pm and without episodes in which Kenny is killed.

In May 2013, the former chairman of the Russian State Duma Committee on Family, Women and Children, Elena Mizulina, accused “2x2” of promoting homosexuality.

Okay, but seriously, how many of you have turned it on at least once in the last couple of months? Vadim Elistratov, TJ

Recommendations to prevent the problem from recurring

Once we have solved the problem, we must try to make sure that it does not happen again and the best way to prevent it without a doubt is to keep our Realme X2 Pro updated with the latest updates , preventing it from freezing again. To check for updates we must go to Settings > System updates and install the ones we have.

We also recommend updating apps on Google Play Store and not storing too many apps that we don't use. Although 6, 8 or 12 GB RAM One of the manufacturer's recommendations is not to keep too many applications open and close them in a multitasking environment at least once a day.

If you are a ROSTELECOM subscriber in St. Petersburg

If you are a MTS subscriber

In March 2021, the MTS operator began removing 2x2 from the list of channels included in the analogue service package, leaving only digital channels. If you also have a missing 2x2, there are 2 ways to solve the problem.

  1. Switch to a digital package of services
  2. Change telecom operator. To select an operator, you can use a comparison table of tariffs and services in your city
    , created by our viewers.

If you are not connected to a cable network but want to watch 2x2

  1. Go to the “Broadcast Zone” page
  2. Find your city and click on the “2x2” marker
  3. In the list that opens, select one of the operators
  4. Call and demand to immediately connect you to the 2x2 Universe
  5. Profit! Your mind is in the system

If your city is not on the list, try contacting Rostelecom: their broadcast area covers more than 4,000 cities and towns in Russia.

What actually happened: on January 1, 2016, 2x2 began broadcasting in the MPEG4 digital format. We have notified all cable operators of this in advance, so ideally you should not be affected by the changes. There have been no changes to 2x2 broadcasting on the NTV+ satellite platform. In the Rostelecom, MTS, Dom.ru networks, the channel is broadcast on the usual buttons/frequencies. If you have lost 2x2 and want to return it, we kindly ask you to answer the questions in the “Lost 2x2” form as fully as possible, indicating “live” contacts. We will work together with cable operators - and everyone will be happy.

Everything goes according to plan! Yours Twice two.
