Satellite TV mts antenna setting frequency. Antenna installation process

The satellite television operator MTS appeared quite recently, but is already loved by subscribers due to the low cost of connection, a large list of programs and inexpensive subscriber services. But the stability and reliability of the system depends largely on high-quality installation and qualified configuration.

Visibility in a south-eastern direction and a clear horizon are the main conditions for connecting an MTS television set.

The channels are supplied from the ABS 2 satellite, hovering at 75 degrees East longitude. To view programs you will need:

• Antenna size 60-90cm.
• Linear converter.
• Coaxial cable.
• Connectors.

Moscow and the Moscow region are in the zone of reliable satellite reception. Standard size antenna is 60cm. By increasing the dish to 80-90cm, it will be possible to achieve stable signal reception in bad weather conditions: snowfall, rain, cloudiness. The section "Coverage map" presents the signal distribution throughout the Russian Federation and indicates the reception power in each region. The map will help you choose the plate size.

We will divide the installation and configuration procedure of MTS TV into several stages.

Stage 1. Determining the direction of the signal

The procedure can be performed using a compass or a program from the Internet. For a PC, DISHPOINTER is suitable; for a phone, you can use the SATFINDER program (you can find it at Play Market or App Store). The operating algorithm is as follows: enter the address of the installation location, select the name of the satellite (ABS 2 75EAST) and using the colored arrow the signal from the satellite will be shown relative to the connection location.

If we choose a compass, then we focus on the southeast. The program shows a more accurate signal direction superimposed on a map of the area. Depending on the direction of the signal beam, the antenna can be installed either from a building window or on the roof. Tall buildings and trees located at the level of the dish can interfere with reception. You can also navigate by the sun: around 10 o’clock in the afternoon it shines in the direction of the satellite.

Attention! Only a specialist, after visiting and measuring the signal, guarantees satellite reception! The cost of the service is 1000 ₽.

For independent measurements, we use a satellite set-top box, which has a scale for the level and quality of reception.

Stage 2. Assembly and installation of the satellite system.

We assemble the plate and install the converter on it, strictly following the attached instructions. We attach the bracket to the vertical wall of the facade or the roof of the building. Installation to brick and concrete surfaces is carried out using M10 anchor bolts, to wooden surfaces - 10mm screw caps. When there are voids in the wall, a through hole is drilled and studs are installed.

The antenna is mounted on a securely fastened bracket so that the dish is difficult to rotate on the support. We measure the required length of the cable, strip it as in the photo, and install the connectors. We pay careful attention to the cable braid: it should not come into contact with the central core.

We align the antenna in the direction of the satellite (use the program) or in azimuth (direction to the satellite in the horizontal plane) and elevation (the angle between the horizon line and the direction to the satellite in the vertical plane). Data for the Moscow region: azimuth: 137.3°, elevation angle: 18.3°. We find information for your region on the GEONAMES map.

Stage 3. Setting up the antenna for the satellite​ ​

This operation can be done using a sat finder or receiver. Recommended MTS receivers have a signal level and quality scale set to required frequencies. Channels can also be received on non-recommended devices, but then it is better to configure the set-top box in advance. This can be done when purchasing a system in a store, or from neighbors who have a working MTS dish.

Manual setting performed using the following data:

• Satellite ABS 2 75 EAST
• Feed settings: upper local oscillator 10600 MHz, lower 9750 MHz.
• Transponder: 11800 V, flow rate 45000, error correction 2/3. (see list of MTS frequencies)
• Network search - enabled. This will help you find the entire list of programs.

We enter the settings menu, two scales appear in front of us: level and quality of reception. Stable job satellite is possible with the maximum filling of the scales, which should not be lower than 70%.

The procedure for setting up an MTS TV dish to a satellite

• We point the antenna at the area where the satellite is located (we focus on azimuth and elevation, according to the signal direction program).
• We tilt the plate below the horizon by -8°.
• We set up the converter: if you look at the feed from the antenna side, then with a positive value we turn it clockwise, with a negative value counterclockwise, to the -22° mark.
• Slowly turn the antenna 1-2mm, wait a couple of seconds, look at the signal scales on the screen; repeat the operation until the scales begin to fill.
• We achieve at least 70% completion of the scales.
• Fix the plate, tighten the bolts Call an MTS setup specialist

If you were unable to set up the equipment yourself or there were breakdowns in the already connected antenna, we recommend using the services of MTS television repair and installation specialists.

Call an MTS setup wizard

If you were unable to set up the equipment yourself or there were breakdowns in the already connected antenna, use the services of MTS television repair and installation specialists.

Currently, MTS, in addition to services mobile communications and the Internet, offers its customers a television service. By installing a satellite dish, you can watch programs from all over the world. You can use the device not only in the city, but also in a country house or country house anywhere in the country, since it is difficult to find a place on the map that is not within the company’s coverage area. Installation and configuration of the MTS satellite antenna can be done either independently or with the assistance of specialists. This procedure does not cause any particular difficulties.

Key advantages of the device

The MTS satellite antenna allows the user to receive the following benefits:

• Thanks to modern technologies and the use of the latest materials, the satellite television signal received by the antenna remains stable, regardless of where the receiver is located: in the city or outside its boundaries;
• You can install and configure the MTS satellite antenna yourself, since it does not require any special knowledge and skills;
• Large package of channels available. The user can choose from sports, science, children's channels, as well as channels for business and entertainment;
• Together with the antenna, a compact set-top box and a 3G modem with a wide range of functions are supplied that allow you to watch satellite TV in HD format and change the angle of its location for better reception quality;
• The device parameters can be controlled without any additional devices. A built-in WiFi access point is sufficient;
• Possibility of use Smart functions TV (if the TV has such a function), which is achieved due to high bandwidth channel mobile internet(as a result, the data transfer rate can reach 1 GB per second);
• Possibility to record interesting program, if you can’t watch it live.

To take advantage of the listed advantages of MTS TV, you should purchase and configure it correctly satellite dish from MTS.

Composition of the MTS TV set

The list of devices that allow you to take advantage of all the benefits of mobile satellite television includes:

• A receiver, which is essentially a 3G modem. It must provide a stable connection to the Internet, and also be able to receive and process HD signals. Instead of a modem, you can use a set-top box of a certain modification or the TV itself, if it is equipped with the appropriate devices;
• “Dish”, which receives a signal from a satellite;
• Converter. Its task is to process the signal and transmit it to the TV. If it does not work correctly, the image will be unstable or of poor quality;
• Devices for attaching a satellite dish. In addition to reliability, they must be able to change its angle to ensure stable reception of various channels;
• Cable connecting the antenna and TV.

Pay attention! It is recommended to purchase the entire assembled kit from official sellers. Since the device is technically complex, it is covered by a warranty, and if you buy it cheaper secondhand or on the market, you may encounter problems during operation. In addition, purchasing the entire kit from an official seller guarantees its assembly (all elements match) and significantly saves installation time.

Preparatory stage

Before setting up satellite television, you should take a number of steps:

• Locate the satellite. For this it is recommended to use special program“SatFinder”, which can be downloaded from the website of a service center or a specialized store;
• Select the location where the antenna will be installed. The ideal place is the roof, since there you can rotate it around its axis and change its angle to ensure stable signal reception. In addition, the higher the device is located, the fewer various obstacles that create interference are encountered on its path, which also improves the signal quality;
• Collect all devices in unified system. After the antenna is assembled, you can begin installing and configuring it yourself.

Before installing the device on the roof or other selected location, you should prepare all fastening devices (they are supplied in the kit) and the necessary hardware (screws, dowels, nails, etc.), and also check the plug connectors for connecting the system elements to each other .

Antenna installation

The quality of the signal will depend on how correctly the “dish” is installed, so this issue should be given maximum attention so as not to have to redo the work later.

The installation sequence is as follows:

1. Determine the place where the “plate” will be attached. If the device is mounted on a wall, then it should be possible to direct the antenna mirror to the south. When installing on a roof, it is recommended to ensure that there are no taller buildings or structures in the viewing area that could interfere with the signal;
2. Assembling the device in accordance with the requirements of the instructions. All elements must be securely connected to each other;
3. Installing the bracket for attaching the “plate”. To do this you will need a drill and reliable dowel nails. Using a drill, you need to drill holes in the surface where the device will be attached, and then use dowel-nails to fix the bracket on it;
4. Attaching the satellite dish to the bracket. It is not worth fixing it completely, because when setting up installed antenna you will need to rotate it to improve the signal quality;
5. Assemble the converter and point its head at the satellite. The final step is to connect the external module of the device to the set-top box with a cable.

After this, you can proceed to setting up the antenna. To do this, you will need to check all cable connections and turn on the set-top box to the network.

System setup

It is quite possible to set up MTS television yourself. This stage should be started only after the installation of the dish itself has been completed and its direction towards the satellite has been checked. Before you start setting up television equipment, you should connect the set-top box to the TV using special cable and a separate plug. If there is a cam module included, it should be installed directly into the TV.

If all steps to install the device were completed correctly, the equipment will be configured automatically. The user only needs to perform the following actions:

• install the SIM card into the appropriate slot of the set-top box;
• start the 3G signal analysis process, wait for this process to complete;
• authorize the equipment, while viewing channels must be allowed within 5 days (before the end of this period, all required documents must be provided to the operator);
• create a user profile, set age restrictions if necessary;
• configure the channels; after completing the search procedure, a list of them should appear on the screen.

Important! To figure out how to install the MTS satellite dish yourself and how to set up stable signal reception, it is recommended to use the instructions. If you have any questions, you should contact a specialist who can always suggest ways to improve signal quality and answer other questions. Authorization is carried out in two ways: via SMS or calling the operator.

So, independent installation and configuration of MTS TV is quite possible. You can find out how to install the device from the manufacturer's instructions or by looking various videos on the Internet. They clearly demonstrate the process of assembling the elements of the device, the order of their connection to each other and connection to the system. One of the most difficult procedures is the installation of the satellite mirror itself. To ensure a stable signal, it has to be rotated frequently. This requires an assistant who will change the position of the “plate” while the user evaluates the quality of the image on the TV screen. If any difficulties arise, you should immediately contact service center. This will avoid serious equipment breakdowns and situations that will void the warranty.

MTS satellite equipment - good choice for owners of country houses, dachas, apartments in Moscow and the region, but installation of equipment is possible under several conditions:

• Visibility in the south-east direction at the intended installation site (window, roof, wall).
• No interference on the signal path (trees, high-rise buildings and buildings).
• Possibility of laying cables throughout an apartment or house to connect the antenna to a set-top box/TV.

Often the repair has already been done and the task is to connect the kit to an existing cable network. If the installation is carried out in an apartment, but during the renovation the cables were not routed to the window, the problem can be solved by installing an antenna on the roof. Connection with cable network client occurs on the floor. It is easier to find a solution in a private house. The antenna can be installed on the roof or on the wall. The connection to the network occurs through ventilation shafts or embedded pipes.

When the apartment's windows do not face in the required direction, the plate is mounted on the roof of the building. But approval is required from the DEZ or Criminal Code. The costs of installing an MTS TV satellite antenna increase, as cable and work on its installation are added.

Satellite set-top boxes

The selection of recommended MTS TV set-top boxes is not yet large, but the operator will gradually increase their range. The operator uses the IRDETO coding system. Channels can also be viewed on non-recommended receivers that support IRDETO encoding, CI+ standard.

Connecting MTS TV equipment to several TVs

Satellite TV can be connected to one or more TVs. The composition of the equipment in each option is different. When installing the system on large number TVs, an equal number of set-top boxes are purchased. Subscription fees are increasing.

The operator's channels are broadcast in one vertical polarization, which reduces the cost of distribution equipment. Satellite splitters are used to split the signal; multiswitches and converters with multiple outputs are not required.

There is also a “dependent” way to connect MTS TV: viewing the same image on several screens. Suitable for public places, such as hotel lobbies, cafes, bars, restaurants, where television is used as a background, one image is shown on all screens. The subscription fee is paid for one receiver, the equipment is cheaper. Operating principle: a signal is taken from the MTS set-top box (using the RF output in the receiver or an external modulator) and distributed to other TVs. Program switching is controlled by a radio remote control.

Television works on 60cm antennas. If you install the system on a large number of TVs, we recommend using 80-90cm antennas. This will allow you to achieve stable, reliable reception in bad weather. The choice of antennas is large: domestic and imported. Foreign antennas are of better quality, the gain is better, and the service life is longer. For example, WISI and GIBERTINI.

Interactive service from MTS

Interactive service works only when connecting an interactive set-top box.

After completing the above steps and achieving maximum signal, you can secure the antenna thoroughly and begin authorizing the equipment. The most convenient way to authorize is by calling help center. we have already told you. That's all, we hope you were able to install and configure MTS satellite TV without any problems.

Satellite television is the ability to receive a variety of television channels in remote corners of our country. One of the most popular providers of satellite TV services is the operator cellular communication MTS. After purchasing the necessary kit, users often ask the question of how to independently set up satellite TV from MTS. The procedure is not particularly difficult, therefore, using our recommendations, it is quite possible to cope with it on your own.

What is MTS satellite TV?

The MTS satellite is characterized by an extensive coverage area, covering about 95% of the territory of the Russian Federation. Subscribers have the opportunity to fully access 245 high-definition HDTV channels and high speed internet 3G and 4G networks.

A stable signal is provided by the modern satellite ABS-2, 75 E, recently launched by MTS. The satellite is equipped with powerful transponders that provide reliable reception to a dish with a diameter of 0.6 to 0.8 meters.

Installation of the antenna guarantees the owner:

• stable signal high quality regardless of the installation location;
• ease of installation and configuration;
• a package of various TV channels;
• opportunity Wi-Fi connections without the use of additional devices;
• a set of interactive functions: weather, news, exchange rates, social networks and popular sites;
• automatic software update;
• the ability to watch films on an individual schedule, without waiting for them to air;
• TV Guide function with additional information about ongoing and planned TV shows.

Selection of equipment

To connect satellite TV from MTS, you need a standard set of equipment, as for television from other operators:

• plate;
• receiver for HD signals;
• MTS SMART card;
• converter module;
• coaxial cable;
• F-type connectors;
• fastening elements.

What is needed

There are no difficulties in setting up MTS satellite TV. You don’t even need special equipment to detect a satellite signal; it’s enough to have a smartphone with an application downloaded from the official website.

You can also determine the position of the satellite using the wizard on the MTS website or directly in the set-top box menu:

• On the MTS website go to the “Satellite Television” section. Then we find the “Settings” tab. Next, open the “Coverage Map” and “Setup Wizard” window. Here we dial own address. A map of the area is displayed indicating the antenna installation angle.
• When using the receiver menu to determine the direction, go to the “Settings” tab and then “Antenna Settings”. Select the desired city from the list that appears. A compass image will appear on the screen indicating the desired angles. The direction of the antenna is set by a conventional mechanical or electronic compass installed in the gadget.
• Having determined the position of the satellite, you need to point the antenna at it. During installation, care should be taken to ensure that the signal is not blocked by trees, buildings or other interference. The antenna is aimed strictly at the recommended angle. Deflection of the head even by a couple of centimeters will lead to loss of signal quality.

The process of setting up MTS satellite TV

After installing the antenna and connecting the cable to the set-top box, we proceed to setting up the signal:

• Turn on the console and wait for it to load.
• Open the “Settings” menu, then select “Antenna Settings”.
• A scale appears on the TV screen reflecting the signal level. Good quality indicated by a line green. The antenna must be rotated until this happens.
• After the scale is completely filled with rich green color, we finally fix the antenna.

For ease of setup, you need to perform all the steps together, so that one person directs the antenna, and the other controls the signal level in the apartment.

Receiver setup

After setting the maximum strong signal By adjusting the antenna, we begin to directly configure the equipment. To do this, perform the following steps:

• We undergo equipment authorization to receive full access to the services of MTS TV. The receiver is equipped with a built-in GSM module with the ability to transmit data via the Internet. You need to make sure that this function is active in the receiver settings.
• When the GSM module is active, authorization of the connected equipment is carried out in automatic mode. If at the time of authorization any function is unavailable, the procedure is performed when help SMS or call the contact center.
• After authorizing the equipment, we search for channels through the corresponding menu. We first switch the TV to the DVB-S2 signal reception mode.

Full access to MTS satellite TV services is possible subject to a signed agreement with the operator. Until the signed agreement comes into force, the services will operate in trial mode.

Setting features depending on the TV brand

To connect satellite TV, you will need a DVB-S/S2 TV receiver with a CI slot. TVs released after 2012 are equipped with it. If the receiver is old, you will need to purchase a set-top box with the function of receiving an HD signal.

The setup is done automatically or manually, depending on the specific television receiver. For example, consider this process on Samsung TV with SMART TV function:

• Go to the “Menu” tab and select the “Broadcast” line.
• In the window that opens, select the “Auto Configuration” option.
• Click the “Start” button. Mode – “Full”. The scanning process starts.
• The TV is searching for everyone available channels from a connected MTS receiver.

• On the TV remote control, press “Menu”.
• In the window that opens, click “Channel” - “Antenna”. Change the setting to “Cable”.
• The “Country” tab opens. In it, the TV receiver will prompt you to enter a password. By default, the password in receivers is set to 0000. In the list of countries, select Russia or Eastern Europe.
• Go to the section " Cable channels" It can be located in the main menu or in the “Auto Settings” tab.
• In the section we set the values ​​for the beginning and end of the search: 29800KHz-362000KHz. The remaining values ​​in the menu are already set automatically.
• Select the “Auto Settings” - “Digital TV” window and click the “Next” button.
• Open the search mode and type in “Network”. Using the “Search” button, we turn on the process of scanning available channels.
• When scanning is complete, click “OK”. The channels found by the receiver will be saved automatically.

What could go wrong

While connecting the MTS TV receiver or searching for channels on the TV, technical failures may occur. You can diagnose and correct the situation as follows:

• The message “No Signal” appears on the screen. The reason may be cable damage or weather conditions.
• When the message “No channels” appears, reset the settings to factory settings and start the connection process again.
• We also reset the settings if the image on the screen and the sound do not match.
• When the TV has searched for channels but did not find many, you need to update, that is, start a new search.
• The receiver gives an error code “E”. Scroll possible errors can be viewed on the MTS website.
• If an error code starting with a different letter appears on the screen, the TV is faulty.

You can independently connect and configure a satellite TV antenna from MTS, having minimal skills in working with tools and using detailed instructions from this article. If you have doubts that the process will be successful, it is better to contact a specialist. Improper installation and configuration of equipment can lead to breakdown and significant material costs for its repair.
