How to set up digital TV on digital TV? How to set up digital terrestrial television? Installation and configuration of the digital television antenna T2.

If you have purchased new tv, have changed the cable television operator or the type of broadcast, then the first procedure that you will face is setting up TV channels on the TV.

Depending on the method of receiving the signal, there are three main types of broadcasting:

ethereal- broadcast from the TV tower is transmitted to a conventional antenna;
cable- channel packages from the operator's distribution center are transmitted to subscribers' apartments by wire;
satellite- the signal from the satellite is transmitted to a parabolic antenna (dish) and converted by the receiver.

In turn, ethereal and cable TV can be analog or digital. The second has better picture and sound quality, but may require optional equipment as digital set-top box(tuner), especially if we are talking about the old TV model.

Within the framework of this article, automatic and manual setting analog channels on the TV (for cable channels everything will be identical).

TV preparation

Before proceeding with direct channel tuning, you must connect the TV to a broadcast source. With an analog signal, the cable of the antenna or cable television operator is connected directly to the antenna input of the TV (marked in the photo):

In this case, it is worth considering separately the situation in which more than one TV is used in the apartment. In this case, a special antenna splitter is used for connection, which in most cases has two or three outputs:

How to tune channels from a conventional antenna to several TVs?

Often people complain that in one room the channels on the TV are tuned worse than in another. Some of them are missing, while others have interference. This is due to incorrect connection. It is important that both TVs are at an equidistant distance from the main cable. Otherwise, the one that is located closer will take on most of the signal. Also, when connecting two or more TVs, you should use a high-quality cable that is better protected from interference. Therefore, the standard cheap cable, which is usually offered by many cable TV operators, will not work here.

How to automatically tune channels on your TV

This is the easiest way to set up, which requires a minimum of effort and knowledge. The TV itself finds all available channels and remembers them.

To switch to the automatic setup mode, enter the TV menu by pressing the MENU button on the remote control remote control. Depending on your TV model, this button may also be labeled HOME, INPUT, OPTION, SETTINGS, or special characters in the form of three longitudinal strips, a house, an arrow in a square and others. More detailed information on this occasion contains instructions for operating and setting up TV channels. Some options for designating the menu button are shown in the photo:

After entering the menu, use the navigation buttons to select the item "Channel settings" - "Automatic tuning". After that, indicate what type of TV you are going to tune in (terrestrial or cable) and start the search process by pressing the ENTER / OK button. In different TV models, the names of the described menu items may vary slightly, so if you have difficulty, look at the instructions. Roughly, the menu screen might look like this:

In some cases, before setting up channels on a conventional antenna, you must additionally select the region of your location. To do this, in the setup menu, find the item COUNTRY or REGION and select the appropriate entry in the list.

Note. If all items on the TV menu are displayed in English, search for the word LANGUAGE (language) in the settings and select RUSSIAN.

After auto-tuning of channels is completed, the TV may display a sorting menu, with which you can arrange the found channels in an easy-to-watch order.

It is worth noting that when changing or adding transmitted channels on the part of the cable television operator, the setting must be done again.

How to manually tune channels on your TV

For all its apparent simplicity of automatic tuning, it has several significant drawbacks. Some channels may be repeated, have a distorted picture or sound. In this case, you must correct the situation manually. Here step-by-step instruction for manual tuning of TV channels:

In the "Channel Setup" menu, use the navigation buttons to select "Manual Tuning" and press ENTER/OK.
Select the "Program" item and assign a serial number to the channel by pressing the number buttons on the remote control.
Select the color system of your region: PAL, SECAM, NTSC, or AUTO.

Do you want to watch your favorite TV channels in high quality for free? Take advantage of the digital terrestrial service DVB television T2. In many countries, this standard has already become the main one over the past few years. Unfortunately, in Russia it is just beginning to gain popularity. Today, 20 of the most popular Russian channels are already available, and in the near future, the organization responsible for the development of technologies promises to add another package of channels.

If you need to pay a regular monthly fee for cable TV subscription fee, then the benefit of digital terrestrial television is obvious - having only once paid for a set of equipment, after about a year its cost is fully paid off and in the future you watch TV for free. In addition, it is very rare that you need the entire package of channels that is provided by cable or satellite providers.

In today's material, we will tell you in detail what features the DVB T2 digital terrestrial television service has, as well as what is needed for self installation and equipment settings. When you arm yourself with the knowledge, installing terrestrial antennas will be very simple and you can save a lot of money by refusing to call a wizard. So let's get started.

More recently terrestrial television associated with poor image quality, large quantity various interference, as well as a minimum set of channels. It was necessary to manually tune each frequency separately, while different channels could work in different ranges, which led to the fact that it was necessary to install several antennas or one multi-band. In some cases, and together with the signal, Additional Information, for example, teletext, when it was possible to receive information about a TV program or various entertainment content directly on the TV screen. Today, in the era of the Internet, such additional services have lost their relevance, but in the era of high-quality video and high-resolution screens, a high-quality television picture has become, more than ever, in demand. Therefore, a digital television standard was developed.

It was the use of digital technologies that made it possible to reach a completely new level quality. If earlier it was necessary to use exclusively satellite television for this, which entailed additional installation difficulties, and not everyone could afford the set of equipment, now it is enough to install and configure an almost ordinary decimeter antenna, in some cases an amplifier, as well as a set-top box. And given that many modern TVs already have a built-in DVB T2 receiver, then you can generally get by with one inexpensive antenna.

Let's take a closer look at the advantages and disadvantages of T2 digital terrestrial television.

Advantages:

In spite of great amount pluses, there are a number of certain disadvantages:

The state of digital television in Russia

In some ways, Russia has lagged behind other European countries. Their DVB T2 television format has long since become generally accepted standards, and in many places analog broadcasting is not conducted at all. In Russia, today is a transitional stage, when everyone is aware of the need to abandon analog television, but the digital infrastructure is still underdeveloped. In general, in most large cities you can easily catch a figure, but if you live in very remote regions, you will either have to be content with one multiplex, or just be patient. Fortunately, there are practically no such places left, the signal covers by and large all settlements.

Now let's talk about filling the channel packages or, as they are officially called, multiplexes. Today it broadcasts 2 multiplexes with 10 channels each. In the coverage area of digital terrestrial television DVB T2, reception of the first multiplex is guaranteed, while the 2nd is not yet available everywhere. There is talk about the launch of the third package, but due to the lack of frequency resources and the need to free up frequencies for it by turning off analog broadcasting, the launch date is still unknown.

What channels are included in each package? At the beginning of May 2017, their composition is as follows:

Please note that the content of multiplexes is not constant and changes from time to time. This has happened several times over the past few years. In any case, the set is quite diverse and channels are provided for every taste and for any audience.

Necessary equipment

So, what equipment do you need to purchase to watch DVB T2 digital terrestrial television? Depending on the equipment you already have and the distance from the transmitting center, you may need the following set:

Antenna Installation

In one article it is almost impossible to list all special cases and conditions for admission. Therefore, we will give only general recommendations that should be considered when installing a DVB T2 digital television antenna.

room

Put the antenna on a window sill and turn it towards the transmitting tower. Make sure there are no radio signal sources nearby, such as a Wi-Fi router. The distance between them should be at least several meters.

Outdoor

Outdoor antennas also need to be turned towards the tower and securely fixed so that wind or other weather conditions cannot disturb its position. It is best to first install a reliable bracket and attach it to the wall or roof of the house, and then attach the antenna to it. This will allow you to change the position of the device. When installing, be sure to fine tuning you will have to rotate it, so do not fix it right away, it is better to do this after the complete installation is completed.

Do not rush to use the amplifier. Try experimenting without it first. Rotate the antenna or move it a little to the side, sometimes this can make a big difference. If all else fails, only then use the amplifier.
If you plan to use several TVs, the antenna must be outdoor. By the way, in this article you can learn how to connect multiple TVs to one antenna.
Minimize situations where the signal is shielded or blocked. For example, do not place the antenna under a metal roof or near a high-rise building that blocks the tower, as well as high-voltage lines. True, in some cases it is possible to use the signal reflected from a high structure and amplify it with an amplifier.

Fine tuning signal quality

You can, of course, accurately catch the signal of the proper strength and quality on your own, without the use of additional equipment. Nevertheless, in conditions of difficult reception, it is best to use a special device to tune the terrestrial antennas. What is such a device? This is usually a small box with a mechanical dial or LCD screen that displays the signal strength. Power is connected on one side, and an input for connecting an antenna cable is provided on the other. Since tuning the antenna for visual perception of the image on the screen is not the most reliable, such a device will greatly simplify your task.

Take the device and connect the antenna cable to it, and also supply power either from the built-in batteries or from an external battery pack.
Turn the antenna towards the receiver. In the case of correct directionality, the device will immediately begin to emit sound signal, and numbers or an arrow run on the scale.
If the device shows an insufficient signal level, change the position of the antenna by turning it to the side, raising it higher or lowering it lower. Achieve maximum signal performance.
Turn off the device, fix the antenna and you can start setting up the equipment.

Connecting an antenna to a TV

With a built-in DVB T2 receiver

Find a special input on your TV to connect external antenna. It is usually signed Ant In.
Connect the cable coming from the antenna to this connector. At this time, the TV must be turned off for safety reasons.
Turn on the TV and activate the digital tuner in the settings.
Perform automatic channel search.
Enjoy watching.

When using a digital tuner

Connect the cable from your antenna or amplifier to the antenna input on your set-top box.
Connect the set-top box to the TV. Ideally, this should be an HDMI cable, as it provides the highest quality video signal. If this interface is not available, connect the two devices using traditional analog connectors, the so-called tulips. There should be 3 of them, they are indicated by different colors. Usually it is yellow, red and white. Two of them are audio connectors, while the third is video. Most often, the connectors on both the TV and the set-top box have the same color designation, so it is quite difficult to confuse them.
Turn on the TV and use the remote control to select the external signal source to which the tuner is connected. It can be either HDMI or AV. It all depends on the connection method.
Search for TV channels automatically or tune in each one manually.

Conclusion

We have shown you detailed step by step guide how to install and configure DVB T2 digital television. Now you can watch up to 20 demons without any problems. pay channels. If you still have questions, or something doesn’t work, ask in the comments or contact our masters.

TV for many is a source of fresh information about the global situation in the country and in the world. But immediately after the purchase, you will need to make some settings, since the manufacturer is not able to determine all the nuances of the connection specifically in your specific conditions.

The main questions that will arise in this case are: where does Russian turn on and how to set up channels on the TV? And you need to solve problems just in the sequence presented, because setting up any technique is much easier when the menu is in your native language.

So, remember school knowledge of English language(almost always the first time you turn on the menu it is presented on it) and try to turn on Russian. Even with the "poke method" it should turn out pretty quickly.

Setting up channels on a Samsung TV

You need to enter TV mode and select the correct playback source. To do this, press the Source button or enter the corresponding menu manually.

There are several connection options available here:

HDMI;
USB etc.

After selection desired mode TV go to the main menu using the remote control. By clicking on the Channel sub-item, you will see a tooltip that indicates the procedure for setting up channels.

Now select the Antenna sub-item, offering to decide on the signal source:

cable TV;
satellite TV;
terrestrial TV.

All that is required now is to tick the desired line in accordance with the method you have chosen to connect to the provider's broadcast. For example, these will be terrestrial television channels.

In the next setup step, you will be prompted to select a country. Remember that Samsung groups "neighbors" very broadly. So, here it is enough to indicate Eastern Europe, and not a specific area on the map.

Please note that a pin code may be required. As a rule, this is 0000, but to be sure, check this question when buying from the seller or from an official representative of the company. Don't be embarrassed if you have to call hotline- They will explain everything to you with pleasure and quickly.

Now you need to deal with the channels that you would like to view:

digital;
analog;
both types of broadcasting simultaneously (digital and analogue).

TVs from Samsung make it possible to configure the type of broadcast in just two clicks on the remote control buttons. Remember that when connecting to satellite or cable channels, the Country line should be left with the Other option.

Modern TVs allow you to set up according to the instructions in the menu

Next, you select the type of settings that you prefer to use in this case: manual or automatic. If you are not tuning channels for the first time, then all previously saved broadcast tracks will be deleted and replaced with new ones.

You will see a bar that will slowly fill up. The screen displays a list of channels already found and the overall progress of the task in percent. The TV will do everything by itself, just give it time.

For correct setting cable broadcast instead of Antenna at the beginning you need to select Cable TV. The search parameters will be as follows:

initial frequencies - 346000 kHz;
end frequencies - 410000 kHz;
data transfer rate - 6956 kS / s (kilosamples per second);
modulation is 256 OAM.

At the end of the search, a list of channels that could be found will be displayed on the screen. Unfortunately, in this case, unpaid broadcast tracks will also be included in the general list, and you will not be able to view them yet. But you can remove everything superfluous quite conveniently and quickly from the Channel Manager: just go to the appropriate item and select the desired action.

To sort cable channels, you can use the button with the letter C.

Setting up channels on an LG TV

It is easy to guess that in this case all actions will be similar. Maximum difference, which you will have to deal with - a different formulation of the same technical features.

LG TVs also use DVB-C or DVB-C2 receivers to decrypt digital network content. In addition, a card can be installed in a special slot to decrypt a certain pay channel package.

Typically, channel tuning can be done manually or automatic mode

So, after choosing a language, go along the path Menu - Options - Country - Signal source (for example, cable) - Search. Models with built-in digital receiver you can set the exact parameters for the board: start search frequency - 114000 kHz, end search frequency - 862000 kHz, BCS frequency - 690000 kHz. The data rate is 6750 kS / s, and the modulation is the same as that of Samsung - 256 OAM. All parameters shown are typical and can be easily obtained from the service provider.

Please note that LG TVs look for digital channels first, and only then for analog ones. When auto tuning completes, a message is displayed on the screen indicating that it was completed successfully.

By the way, buyers of TVs from brands such as Philips or Sony should not expect any particular difficulties when setting up channels. Here on the menu everything is almost the same, but in slightly different words - that's all!

Features of manual and precise settings of some parameters

Many of us do not realize the power of our habits, but it shows up, for example, in determining the order of television channels. After all, if your mother, grandmother or other close relative is used to automatically turning on a certain digital stream, then changing this is sometimes incredibly difficult (if at all possible).

But don't despair! You will need a little patience and time to reconfigure the channels already found in the right order. Go to manual settings, find the digital stream you would like to move and assign the desired number to it.

Then using manual search channel or frequency, find the desired track and be sure to save your changes. And after viewing the general list of channels, you can set up the missing channel, which was deleted before, in place of the resulting double.

Despite the rather confusing explanation, there is nothing complicated in these actions. You yourself will come to this conclusion when you start doing something with your own hands, being near the switched on TV. Well, when you manage to customize one channel to your liking, everything will be quite simple with the rest!

By the way, do not forget that the quality of any of the found digital streams can be corrected and even improved. To do this, select the Fine tuning sub-item in the settings. Most often, it is performed with an interval of 0.25–0.30 MHz.

Manual tuning of TV channels (video)

Don't be discouraged if you can't tune channels on your TV. With a properly connected antenna and a working cable, you should contact the specialists - you may have to carry out minor repairs.

But, as practice shows, in 90% of cases, the setup succeeds the first time, even for unprepared users. After a successful search for channels, do not stop there, experiment, study the menu - there will surely be a lot of interesting things there!

To find out how to tune channels on a TV, you should know that this process is on modern models is divided into two stages. The first is to set the input source. The second is to adjust the sound and quality of the image displayed on the screen. It is also necessary to assign TV channel numbers and set the function parameters. If there is a function to connect the TV to the Internet, you must connect the digital equipment to the network.

Tuning for TV reception

Many buyers of new models are wondering: “How to set up channels on an LG TV? What does that require?" Reception and tuning of channels on digital equipment is mandatory if new equipment has just been bought in a store, and also if signal sources have been changed, new television programs have appeared. There can be several sources of signals that the TV receives. Based on their number and type, they configure channels for watching TV.
