“Interactive ZALA” eliminates the need to adapt to the broadcast schedule and allows you to watch your favorite programs exactly when you want, and also pause it if you need to leave. Or even shift the broadcast schedule back to 48 hours.
By the way, you can record the programs you need so that you can watch them later in a comfortable environment. There are also many additional features, all of which you may find useful. For example, “Parental Controls” will protect your children from inappropriate content with age restrictions.
You can connect additional packages and thereby personalize the selection of broadcast channels. A list of them can be found on the official website.
Attention: connection to the basic package is paid, the cost is 4.60 BYN for the main receiver and 1.90 BYN for each additional one.
“Terrestrial ZALA” allows you to watch digital television using wireless transmission of a TV signal from Beltelecom terrestrial transmitting stations. However, without interactive interaction with the content. Broadcasting of programs is carried out according to DVB-T and DVB-T2 standards.
Connection also costs money - 4.95 BYN for each TV receiver. And you can also connect additional packages. There are not as many of them as in the tariffs above, but quite enough to diversify the main grid.
“SMART ZALA” is a current service from Beltelecom that allows you to watch television programs and films on a variety of devices. In other words, directly through the firmware of your smart TV or through a smartphone or tablet.
This is a fundamentally different way of transmitting content and is not supported on all devices. Therefore, it is better to clarify in advance the technical feasibility of connecting it.
Review of the set-top box for Smart ZALA
Figure 1 - Packaging In the opportunity to use the Smart ZALA TV set-top box.
Read more in the article. Note: this set-top box allows you to watch Smart ZALA on any TV (the old Horizon cube is also suitable). The set-top box replaces the Smart ZALA application, and the channels broadcast through the set-top box fully correspond to the list of channels presented in the Smart ZALA application. The set-top box is issued only to those subscribers who are connected to the “YASNA 50 Smart” or “YASNA Gaming Smart” packages. For each set-top box, an additional monthly subscription fee of 3.5 rubles is charged, in addition to the fee for the tariff plan.
for example, a promotional package is 22.05 rubles/month. + 1 set-top box 3.5 rub./month = 25.55 rub./month. The console is supplied in a cardboard box with the YASNA brand logo. The set includes the set-top box itself, instructions for its use, a remote control, two pinky batteries for it, a 12V power supply, an RJ-45 network cable, an HDMI cable and a 3RCA-Mini Jack cable.

Detailed instructions on how to connect and set up a broadcast hall (Zala) from Beltelecom
In this topic we will talk about how to properly connect and set up an on-air hall (digital terrestrial television), a service that Telecom began to provide not so long ago (since May 2014). Let's look at what problems you may encounter when connecting and how to deal with them.
So, the best thing, of course, is to conclude an agreement and wait for the master to arrive, but if you want to do it yourself, and this is very simple, then follow the instructions given below.
What do we need to connect the ethereal zala:
— Television antenna, which preferably hangs higher. If there is none, then we buy it and install it, but you don’t need to secure it tightly, since you may have to turn it in the process. An indoor antenna will not work for these purposes; you don’t even have to try, although the service center may tell you otherwise. A collective antenna is also very unlikely to work, but sometimes it makes sense to try.
— And of course the TV itself, any TV will do except a tube one :)
Connection progress:
1. Take the set-top box out of the package, insert the batteries into the control panel, unpack and insert the wires into the set-top box according to color. The second end goes into your TV, if there are no “Tulip” outputs, then we connect the wires through a scart-tulip adapter, which is also included in the set-top box.
2. We take out the television cable from the TV and insert it into the Zala ; you won’t be able to mix up the connectors even if you really want to. If your antenna is with an amplifier, then plug the power supply into an outlet if it is not connected.
3. The kit includes a card, insert it into the console, with the chip facing forward and down.
4. Turn on the set-top box by pressing the red button at the top right. Naturally, we turn on the TV and select the AV (if you don’t know how to turn on the video mode on the TV, read the instructions). The video mode is usually turned on with the button that says AV on the remote control or the Source or with the depicted rectangle with an arrow inside.
5. If everything is correct, then ZALA is loading on the TV and then a menu with 4 items appears as in the figure below.
6. Select the far right item - “Settings”, a new menu opens (image below). Use the buttons on the remote control to go to Auto Scan, press OK and then Search and wait until it reaches 100%. If everything is in order with the antenna, it will find 26 channels (for the Brest and Grodno regions there is a possibility that there will be about 15 more Polish channels)
That's all, your torment is over - you can continue to enjoy life and watch television :) At first only 8 channels will be shown, the rest will be written in code . In about half an hour they should be “decoded”; if this does not happen, call technical support. support by phone 123
I think there is no need to make instructions on how to switch channels, everything is simple and clear, like on a simple television remote control - forward backward using the up and down arrows or buttons with numbers. Volume with arrows right and left. There are no rewind or recording functions in the on-air Zala. Turn on and turn off the set-top box with the red button at the top right.
Video of setting up the broadcast room from Beltelecom
*Bad scenario : after auto scanning, only 8 channels were found or not found at all.
Your actions:
— Raise the antenna as high as possible, turn in a different direction (for the Brest region towards Rakitnitsa) and repeat the auto scan again. Check the connector on the antenna wire to see if the card is inserted correctly into the set-top box. If everything is unsuccessful, we conclude that your antenna is not suitable for the broadcast hall.
— We take the technical passport of the set-top box (included) and go buy a new antenna, or we take the set-top box and go to Beltelecom to terminate the contract for the provision of the ZALA on-air service.
