MTS satellite Internet in a private home: price, tariffs and how to connect in 2021

MTS satellite Internet is a new option for accessing the network. The World Wide Web has taken over the world. From small to great, they can no longer imagine their life without the Internet. Communication, information, cinematography, business, shopping - and this is only a small part of what the Internet provides. This is a limitless world where you can find whatever you want. The company offers an excellent savings option by receiving the network along with satellite television. Let's consider possible options for accessing the network via satellite.

Types of satellite Internet

Most often they choose MTS satellite Internet for a private home. Since in apartment buildings it is more advisable to use a connection via fiber optic cable, through which several users can be connected at once.

Based on the type of data transmission, it is divided into two categories: symmetrical and asymmetrical.

The symmetrical communication method is more expensive, but it works even in regions with poorly developed communication technologies. The principle of operation is as follows: the user sets a request, it is sent to the satellite, processed and a response is returned through the provider. At the same time, the communication quality and transmission speed are very high.

The method is convenient in that there is no need to use additional devices for feedback. To access the network, you only need a satellite connection.

The asymmetric method also works in places that are not sufficiently equipped with communications means. But to work, you need an additional terrestrial device capable of distributing and receiving a connection: a router, a gadget that supports the Internet, a modem, and others. The request from the user is transmitted to the satellite through additional equipment and returned directly to the antenna. This method is more economical - it allows you to pay your mobile operator several times less.

Similar contracts of other operators

To evaluate all the advantages of the new offer from the MTS operator, a comparison should be made with similar services of other operators presented this year on the cellular communications market. Today, the only competitor with similar offers that include digital television in the package is Beeline.

Comparative table of cost of services and package content:

The comparison table shows the entire priority of choosing between the presented offers; as you can see, the MTS operator has a more balanced package content, the highest connection speed and a fairly reasonable cost of services.

The “All MTS Sputnik 2019” tariff is a practical cellular connection with unlimited mobile traffic, Home Internet at a high connection speed and digital TV. A comprehensive offer allows you to effectively pay for all services from one personal account, while receiving mobile communications as a gift.

Is it worth connecting to satellite Internet?

As already mentioned, it is more rational to connect the Internet via a satellite dish for the home first of all in private homes. Especially if they are located in an area where the level of communication from mobile providers is weak or absent altogether. In order not to wait for good coverage to reach such an area, you can install high-quality and fast coverage into your home regardless of anyone. Fortunately, the satellite catches almost everywhere. For people who directly depend on the local network in their lives, this type of connection simply saves them. Whether it is worth connecting depends on the need for it and the impossibility of alternative coverage options.

The following advantages can be highlighted:

• 100% coverage throughout the country;
• high-quality reproduction of requested materials; Supports High Definition 1080i format;
• uninterrupted broadcasting;

The only disadvantage is the relatively high cost.

Assembly and installation of a satellite dish

First you need to determine where your antenna should be directed to work correctly, and also calculate the optimal location for its installation. This can be done using the Sat Finder application:

1. Install the application by downloading it from the Play Market. It is available for free and will not take up much space on your device.

You can download Set Finder via Play Market

Connect location tracking (GPS) and internet. The coordinates will appear on the screen.

Using Set Finder you will determine the optimal location for connection

Move along with your mobile device until you find a place with the most stable signal - this is the place to install the antenna. All that remains is to point it at the satellite: move the crosshair until it coincides with the circle on the screen (it displays the satellite). The antenna converter should be directed in this direction. Mark the location you find. It is on this that you will need to install a satellite dish.

What to look for before purchasing

Before purchasing an antenna, you need to make sure that the place where it will be installed is within the coverage area of ​​the satellite operator. It is also worth determining the installation location and correctly calculating the diameter of the plate.

Checking the coverage area

Before purchasing a dish, you should check whether the house where the equipment will be installed is actually in the MTS coverage area. This can be done on a special page on the operator’s website. You need to enter a settlement in the search bar so that it appears on the map. If it is included in the reception area, you can buy equipment.

Choosing an installation location

The next step is choosing a location to mount the antenna. To do this, it is important to know which way to point the plate. This is south, southeast, southwest, where the ABS2A satellite is located. If the windows do not face the desired side, the equipment is installed on the roof of the house. There should be no houses, trees, branches or other obstacles in the signal path - they will worsen the quality of reception, especially in bad weather.

Plate diameter

You should carefully choose the diameter of the plate. For the Amur, Kaliningrad, Arkhangelsk, Vologda, Leningrad regions, Khabarovsk and Primorsky territories, the republics of Karelia, Yakutia, Sakha, Komi, as well as the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug, plates with a diameter of 0.9 meters are required. For other regions of the country, antennas with a diameter of 0.6 meters are suitable.

If a subscriber buys a complete set of MTS equipment along with an antenna, he does not have to worry about the dish: in each constituent entity of the Russian Federation, the kits come with the required antenna diameter.

Which is better: CAM module or receiver

The CAM module is designed for TVs with a built-in DVB-S2 tuner, a CL+ slot and support for HEVC channel encoding. If the TV does not meet these requirements, a set-top box or TV receiver is connected to it. In the second case, the subscriber uses two remote controls for control - one from the set-top box, the other from the TV. When installing a CAM module, you only need the TV remote control. In this case, the user is freed from additional equipment near the TV and the need to connect equipment to each other with wires.

If a subscriber will watch television on several TVs, each will require a separate set-top box or CAM module, as well as a converter with a number of outputs equal to or greater than the number of TVs. Only one antenna is required.

Frequently asked questions when connecting

Installing MTS satellite TV is a labor-intensive process that can cause a number of difficulties and questions among subscribers. Let's look at the most common calls to technical support.

No signal

No signal may be caused by incorrect connection of cables or other components. This factor may also be influenced by bad weather conditions, due to which the antenna cannot transmit a signal to the satellite. Also pay attention to the newsletter from MTS, which may contain information about the work being carried out.

No channels

The lack of channels may be due to:

• incorrect installation of a SMART or SIM card, due to which the system cannot identify the subscriber;
• the end of a subscription to a certain package of services or the occurrence of debt on the personal account balance;
• the device is unable to communicate with the satellite. The reasons are described in the previous paragraph.

Quality problems

Poor picture quality depends solely on the signal level, and the most common cause of interference is incorrect installation of the dish or external physical obstacles (trees, leaves, houses).

How to install correctly - step-by-step instructions

Once you have determined where to install the satellite dish, you should begin installing it. Here are the detailed steps on how to install the MTS dish yourself:

1. Take a drill or hammer drill and create holes in the outside wall, attaching a bracket support to which the antenna will be mounted. The supports must fit firmly and keep the plate stationary even in strong gusts of wind.
2. Do not neglect the instructions for the satellite dish. Use it to assemble the bracket, mirror (plate) and support rod. The instructions also indicate the necessary bolts for the fastenings. See which bolt to use for which mount.
3. Place the assembled structure on a support. Position the dish at the angles shown to you by SatFinder or the MTS map. Focus on the indicators: converter position - 26°, antenna tilt -6°, satellite direction degree 134°.
4. Place the converter in the rod with its face facing the plate, then rotate it to the desired angle indicated by the card or program.
5. Connect the antenna cable and the F-connector so that it fits tightly to the braid.
6. Connect the converter to the cable and insulate the connection. You can use sealant or regular electrical tape. To prevent the cable from hanging down, it can be secured to the rod using the same electrical tape.
7. Route the cable into the room and connect it to the receiver. In this case, the receiver must be turned off from the 220V network.

What you need

The kit includes a receiving device (dish + convector), and a receiver with a CAM module to support payment cards.

Therefore, the connection process will include two stages:

1. setting up the MTS satellite antenna;
2. connecting equipment and searching for channels.

Attention! For users who already have a satellite dish installed and only purchased a CAM connector with a SIM card, the first step is skipped. You can proceed directly to the setup process.

Setting up a TV to watch MTS satellite TV

To set up a satellite dish from MTS:

1. Using the TV remote control, open the TV menu and select the HDMI (or similar, depending on the TV model).
2. Wait a while before the menu starts and select the “Antenna setup” . You should now select using the receiver's remote control.
3. Return to the antenna to loosen the retaining bolts. This is necessary to be able to rotate and tilt the rod, converter and the plate itself by 1-2 cm.
4. Rotate and tilt the antenna and wait 5 seconds after each change of position. Then check the signal level on the TV in open settings. Help from a friend, neighbor or family member is recommended at this stage. If you are doing the installation alone, you can move the TV closer to the antenna to visually see what is happening on the screen. The signal is most often shown as two parallel scales (signal intensity and quality).

5. Once the high signal is caught, secure the antenna with bolts.
6. Next, go to Menu – Search – Channel settings and select the “Auto search” .
7. Wait for completion and save all channels that the receiver has found by pressing "OK".

8. Done, satellite TV on your Samsung TV is finally configured.

How to set up an MTS TV dish to a satellite yourself without a device

As we indicated earlier, installing modern software on mobile devices will help you in this matter. Among the list of programs offered are: SatFinder, Dishpointer Pro, Satellite Director and other analogues. Be careful, it is recommended to use branded websites and markets of your operating system for installation. The high popularity of such software has caused a wave of malicious software being launched by malicious users, which can be used to steal confidential information and personal data. Additional instructions are also available on the operator’s website.
