Digital television covered the entire country a few years ago, so even in distant regions, subscribers have access to most of the channels watched by residents of the capital. New technologies also have a positive effect on the quality of content transmission, since the devices and devices used have good protection against electromagnetic interference. Despite the enormous advantages of the new type of broadcasting, not all users have purchased equipment that supports the DVB-T2 standard.
Checking DVB-T2 on the device
Before purchasing a receiver, it is important to make sure that your TV supports DVB-T2. For this:
- Read the instructions included in the kit. All the characteristics of the TV are indicated there.
- Use the Internet by going to the manufacturer’s official website. Find your device model and view the settings.
- Via Yandex.Market. Enter the model name in the search bar, go to the page with your TV and in the parameters tab, find the “DVB-T2” item.
What is needed to receive 20 channels
To watch 20 free channels on your TV, which does not have a built-in DVB-T2 digital tuner.
- You need a TV itself that will serve as a monitor; even a very old model will do.
- Digital set-top box.
- UHF antenna for receiving a digital signal.
One of the main factors for stable broadcasting is a properly selected antenna. It must work in the UHF range, since the broadcast takes place precisely in this frequency range. It is also worth considering your location and the location of the antenna; if the signal is weak, the higher it is, the better.

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:
- On the TV remote control, press the “Menu” button.
- Enter the section called “Channels”, select “Manual search” in it.
- Set the parameters - frequency and TVC number for multiplexes 1 and 2. This data is unique for each region and can be found on the CETV interactive map. To set the specified parameters, use the “Right” and “Left” buttons.
- 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:
- Connect your provider cable to your TV.
- Using the “Menu” button on the remote control, open the settings window. In it, go to the “Channels” tab.
- After selecting “Manual search”, pay attention to the “Antenna” item. In it you need to select the “Cable” value.
- Start setting your search parameters. They can be obtained directly from the provider (look in the contract or call the hotline). Once the data has been entered, click on the “Start” button.
After some time, the TV channels you are interested in should be found and saved. Continue searching until all cable programs are available.

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:
- Connect the satellite dish.
- Go to the settings window through the “Menu” button on the remote control. Going to the “Channels” tab, select the “Manual Search” function. Additionally, do not forget to change the signal reception to “Satellite”.
- Set up signal reception. This can be done by entering the parameters received from the provider. This applies to LNB power supply, DiSeqC mode, upper gen. LNB and lower gen. LNB.
- Select manual setting. To do this, use the standard “Up” and “Down” buttons to specify frequency information.
- Start the search process. This will take 7-10 minutes, since the number of channels is greater than on terrestrial TV.
If the programs are not found, you should review all the settings. Most often they contain an error. Enter information in strict accordance with all instructions from the provider providing its services to the client.
Possible problems and their solutions
Sometimes users encounter problems while using the receiver. Some faults are caused by cable damage, while others appear after a system failure. Let's look at common mistakes and solutions.
Dxp box does not find channels
The set-top box refuses to detect TV channels? The main reason is a software glitch. But first you should check for new updates. To do this, go to the “System” section in the menu and click on the corresponding item. If this solution doesn't help, try resetting the settings in the same category. But, after this, you will have to carry out the settings again - set the time, time zone, start auto search, etc.
Does not respond to the remote control or the button does not work
If the set-top box does not respond to the remote control, please note:
- The batteries are probably dead.
- At a distance. You may be trying to use the remote control at a great distance from the console.
No signal
Basically, this error occurs due to a damaged wire. Check the integrity of cables and connectors. But the reason may also be hidden in the provider. Contact technical support and find out if scheduled maintenance may be underway.
ohdpluginlibrary application error
Causes:
- The TV software does not support this application.
- A software glitch has occurred.
- A new software patch prevents the app from working.
Solutions:
- Reset parameters to factory settings.
- Deleting an application.
- Changing the TV firmware.
Can't select display mode
The DEXP set-top box for digital television has different display options in its settings. You must select a specific option depending on the supported broadcast standard. For example:
- DTV – for digital TV.
- For analog – ATV.
- When using a set-top box, as in our case, select HDMI or AV.
Connecting a tuner
Installing a digital television set-top box from DEXP is quite easy.
- The antenna cable is inserted into the ANT IN connector.
- Connecting to a TV can be done in different ways. If the DEXP digital television set-top box will also be used to watch video from a flash drive in high quality, then it is best to use HDMI. If the TV does not have such a connector, then you should use RCA tulips (connected according to the color scheme). If the set-top box will perform the basic task of broadcasting channels, then you can use an antenna cable - it is inserted into the ANT OUT connector and the corresponding input on the TV.
- The device is connected to the electrical network.
