Connecting to the Internet and television is a pressing issue for residents of the Moscow region and owners of suburban real estate. Not every provider will be able to provide cable internet and TV to a dacha or country house. For settlements remote from the center, this option is not economically feasible. The second option, mobile Internet, does not always help, because everything depends on the coverage area of a particular operator. You can connect satellite Internet where other types of connection cannot be arranged.
Satellite Internet and TV in a country house
The popularity of satellite Internet and television in the country is growing every year. Satellite internet is a suitable option for owners of country real estate located in areas where there is no 3G and 4G signal or wired connection. Satellite Internet will also be relevant in those areas where there are no towers of wireless Internet providers. A few years ago, satellite Internet was a luxury and was very expensive. Only wealthy people could afford to install a “plate” in their country house or cottage. Today, satellite dishes are installed in almost every house in the remote Moscow region. Equipment prices have dropped significantly, tariffs have become profitable, which is why this type of communication has become popular. Residents of settlements in the Moscow region use various types of wireless Internet, among which satellite takes a leading place. To organize satellite internet outside the city, you will need to find an appropriate provider and buy equipment. Kits for satellite TV and the Internet are sold ready-made; you can buy them in stores that specialize in selling network equipment.
Operator Comparison
Tricolor, NTV-Plus, MTS-TV and Telekarta are among the TOP 5 most popular paid satellite operators in the Russian Federation. Hotbird is also popular behind the scenes because it offers its services for free.
Select an operator based on your needs:
- If you want an inexpensive, popular operator with several standard sets, choose Tricolor. Here you will even find a separate Ultra HD package. But get ready for regular software updates, periodic hardware purchases, and the absence of some channels. Equipment is not included in the cost of services.
- If you are willing to pay a little more for the opportunity to choose, try NTV-plus. The abundance of additional options will hurt your wallet, but will help you assemble the right set. Equipment is also not included in the cost of services.
- If you want to buy several services at once, the Internet, equipment, and television will be offered by Mobile Telecommunications PJSC. You will have to choose from 2 sets of channels and pay a monthly TV fee.
- If you need a satellite TV offer that is unpretentious in terms of equipment, then pay attention to Telekarta. There are no Ultra HD channels here, but there are basic and additional offers for different needs.
- If you don't want to pay for satellite TV yet, buy the equipment and configure it with Eutelsat satellites. You'll have to look for good channels, but that's why you don't have to pay.
The cheapest satellite TV set is “Pioneer” from Telekarta for 800 rubles per year, the most spacious is “All Inclusive 999” from NTV-Plus for 999 rubles per year.
Types of satellite internet
Owners of private houses and summer cottages located far from the city, before choosing suitable equipment,
should familiarize yourself with the types of satellite Internet:
- Asymmetric - the incoming data flow is carried out directly from the satellite, and terrestrial communications, for example, mobile Internet, are used to transmit outgoing data. To connect to the asymmetric Internet, you need an additional terrestrial communication channel. But it should be understood that in such situations, in most cases, the need for satellite Internet disappears, since the user can install equipment to strengthen the mobile signal.
- Symmetrical - unlike the previous technology, in this case, incoming and outgoing signal transmission via satellite is provided. Rostelecom operates according to this communication scheme.
To stay online even in places where communications and the Internet are unavailable, you should think about a satellite connection. When purchasing special equipment for the Internet at your summer cottage, you should start by choosing a provider.
Telecard HD GLOBO X8 0.6m
Based on the name, it becomes clear that the kit includes an antenna with a diameter of sixty centimeters. Also, if you decide to buy the set, you will receive a receiver capable of receiving video streams of first and second generation digital satellite broadcasting standards. The maximum supported resolution is 1920×1080 (Full HD).
Like each of today's operators, Telekarta offers basic channels for viewing without the need for a paid subscription. There are twelve such channels, which is quite enough for a country house or cottage. The main distinguishing feature of the operator lies in the ability to choose a tariff line. If you are satisfied with watching only a few dozen channels, then the subscription fee will be 100 rubles per month, which is very beneficial for customers.
Let us also note that unlimited, which is more than two hundred channels, is also inexpensive. But still, Telecard is not without its shortcomings. Users often complain about the small number of sports channels. You can expand the basic package by connecting additional channels; to do this, log on to the provider’s website or call the operator.
Advantages:
- loyalty program for regular customers;
- a huge number of various channels;
- relatively cheap unlimited;
- erotic TV channels available;
- a good receiver is included in the kit;
- free installation;
- an ergonomic, user-friendly website where everything is clear at first glance.
Flaws:
- poor selection of sports channels;
- In some regions, the antenna power is insufficient.
Types of satellite dishes
Satellite dishes differ in many ways.
The following devices can be found on the equipment market:
- Offset and direct focal. The difference lies in the direction of the beam.
- Solid and perforated. The second option is much easier to install due to special perforation. It can be mounted where heavy fasteners cannot be used.
- Made of steel and aluminum. A budget option is steel antennas. A more reliable solution is aluminum. They have good performance and technical characteristics.
- Parabolic and toroidal. The first type is the standard for satellite TV and the Internet.
Separately, it is worth highlighting rotating devices equipped with rotating mechanisms, which allows receiving signals from several satellites.

Equipment for satellite Internet and TV in the Moscow region
Installing the Internet in a village, in a country house or in any locality remote from the center requires purchasing and installing the following devices:
- Satellite antenna
- Special modem
- Reception transmitter
You can purchase all devices at once as a single set, which, in addition to the main equipment, includes auxiliary components. For Internet from Rostelecom, you can select various options for equipment sets for sale. Which one to buy depends on the type of satellite and how it will receive the signal.
The data that can be transmitted via satellite communication can be different:
- transmission of television signals
- telephone communications
- navigation data
- Internet.
Unlike television, where only the signal is received, while using the Internet the subscriber not only receives the signal on his device, but also transmits information. The Internet is always a two-way communication. The user can watch movies, read news while receiving a signal. And, conversely, when publishing posts on social networks, requesting information in Yandex or Google, send an outgoing stream of data.
For satellite Internet you will need the same devices that are needed for satellite television. In some cases, when purchasing an antenna for the Internet, you will need to buy a “dish” of a larger diameter. The equipment is connected according to the instructions, but if difficulties arise with installation, it is better to use the services of professionals.
MTS No. 92
Compared to its competitors, the mobile operator MTS has recently broken into the satellite TV broadcasting market. In order to attract customers as quickly as possible, the provider decided to provide satellite TV services, relying on wide resolution. The company has more terrestrial TV channels broadcasting in 1920×1080 (Full HD) than any operator on the Russian market. Of course, you have to pay to watch them. But how much to pay depends on the tariff plan.
The satellite TV set, referred to as MTS No. 92, is as standard and unpretentious as possible. It contains a regular antenna with a diameter of 60 cm, everything necessary for its installation and a connection module. It is enough to connect the cable from the “dish” to the TV if it deciphers the corresponding signal. Otherwise, additional costs for the receiver cannot be avoided, which, although unpleasant, is not critical.
The only disadvantage when purchasing a kit is that the operator imposes several “free” packages and services, for which you have to pay after 30 days. Therefore, upon completion of the connection, you will have to go to the operator’s office or contact him by phone, asking him to turn off packages with unnecessary TV channels.
Advantages:
- huge selection of channels;
- fast and convenient setup;
- there are channels that are broadcast in the highest resolution;
- convenient functional option “Video on demand”.
Flaws:
- imposition of paid channels;
- in some regions the power of the “plate” is not enough;
- you need to buy a branded receiver from MTS;
- unoptimized official website.
