• Review of the best Orion TVs: reviews, settings and malfunctions

Connecting a device that supports the DVB-T2 standard to digital television and setting it up is not at all difficult. To do this, just insert the cable into the appropriate connector and perform some simple manipulations to configure the channels. If you are using an outdated TV model that does not support receiving this type of signal, you will need to purchase a special set-top box.

The TV must have a special input for connecting an antenna, as well as a tulip-type connector and an input with a video output (scart). If your TV has an HDMI input instead of a SCART connector, then this is a better option.

If you can make a double connection – both via the “tulip” and via HDMI, you will be able to switch from one cable to another. It is best to watch via HDMI, because... In this case, a higher quality image is obtained.

The distance to the transmitting station (tower) matters. Most often, to effectively tune a TV, it is recommended to install an outdoor antenna with an amplifier, and in city houses on the 4th-5th floor you can use an antenna with a “mustache” or in the form of a frame without an amplifier, but with the “signal amplification” option on the TV set-top box.

A receiver is a device designed to receive a signal and transmit it to a TV. The signal source can be a satellite dish, antenna, or the Internet. Connecting a digital set-top box to a TV can be done either directly or via DVD or via a monitor. But in this case you may need a special adapter.

How to connect to a TV and set up a receiver (digital receiver)

1. Remove the device from the box and remove the protective film. The film must be removed, otherwise the device will constantly overheat.
2. Cut off the protective sheath from the TB cable approximately 1.5 cm long from the end (both ends). Stripping the sheath must be done very carefully so as not to damage the shielding film that protects the central conductor.
3. Carefully peel back the shiny protective film and screw the “F” connectors to the wires.
4. Connect the cable to the TV and set-top box.
5. Insert a bunch of “tulip” wires into the connectors of the TV and set-top box.
6. Connect the antenna to the TV. The antenna must be installed on an external wall of the house or on a balcony. After this, you need to move on to the actual setup.

To configure the DVB-T2 set-top box, you need to click on “Menu” on the control panel, and then go to settings. If the country is not specified by default, you must select it. You also need to select the region, language, image format, search mode.

After that, select the signal standard. By default, DTV-T/T2 is installed - this is analog and digital television. If this setting is not changed, the TV will search for both channels.

The program will prompt you to choose automatic or manual settings. You need to select automatic and click on the “Ok” button.

After this, the TV itself will search for all available paid and free channels. After completing the search, click on the “Save” button.

If “DVB-T/T2” is set in the “Search mode” item, then the device will independently find all those channels that are available in your region. But this is only possible if you already have a working antenna installed, which is directed towards the transmitter.

Digital terrestrial television channels of the DVB-T2 standard

If you bought a TV, antenna and set-top box just now, then when you open the welcome window, you need to click on the “Menu” button on the control panel. Next: “DVB-T setup” -> “Channel search” -> “Search mode”. Here you can both find the channels themselves and set the frequency.

To simplify the search process, you can first go to a special website with information to find out what frequencies the channels are broadcast on in your city.

If the antenna is directed correctly, then after a few seconds the “Signal Strength” and “Signal Quality” scales will be filled. If the level is good, then you need to click on “Search”, and the device will perform the adjustment itself.

If you do not know the correct direction of the antenna, you can rotate it very slowly and smoothly. In this case, you need to carefully look at the scales of intensity and quality. Once these scales are full, secure the antenna in this position and perform a search.

This is one of the easiest ways to set up a digital TV yourself. If automatic tuning turned out to be ineffective - the set-top box found few channels (or even did not find them at all), then you need to use manual tuning.

To do this, you need to delete all those channels that were found earlier. After that, select the manual search mode in the same way. A window will appear on the screen. In it you need to set the frequency on which all channels in your city are broadcast. You can find out the frequency on the Internet or from your service provider.

After the channels of the first multiplex have been found, you will need to find out the frequency for the second multiplex and start the manual search again. You can find many channels this way.

Checking the signal quality

To make sure that everything is done correctly, you need to find the “INFO” button on the receiver. (In some models, this button has a different name. To determine which button is intended for checking the signal quality, you need to look at the instructions.) This button must be pressed 3 times, as a result of which a window should appear on the screen with information about the signal quality, number channel, frequency and encoding. If the first two parameters are greater than 60%, this means that the signal level is acceptable.

If the signal is of poor quality (constantly changes its level) and shows 30% of the full signal, then the image quality will be very poor. In such cases, it is necessary to either raise the antenna higher, or install it in another place, or simply strengthen the signal.

If the TV can receive several multiplexes, you need to check the signal quality on each of them, because they work with different transmitters. It may well be that the signal will be good in one multiplex, but not in another.
