Antenna setup ntv plus. How to set up equipment and NTV plus channels How to install NTV plus channels

It is difficult to find a house where there is not a single TV. But free channels are one thing, and quite another when it comes to satellite pay TV. The number of paid NTV Plus channels depends on the package that the user paid for. But to get them, you need a little setup, which you can do yourself or by contacting the service for help.

Then you will have the opportunity to watch your favorite films, sports programs, programs of domestic and foreign production, and much more. In addition, it is not difficult to find out which settings are correct for NTV Plus, since the official website has all the instructions, not only general, but also dependent on specific receiver models.

Setting up satellite equipment

A lot depends on how the equipment is configured, including the quality of the signal. Therefore, you need to understand some of the features of installing equipment, if the user decides to save money, and not to order the services of a master who will install and configure everything himself. So here are the instructions to follow:

• Since NTV satellites are located above the equator, in order to catch a signal, you need to point the dish to the south side. In order not to guess where it is, take a compass or use the online compass by downloading this application on your smartphone. But as for the tilt angle of the satellite dish, depending on the location and manufacturer, it should be somewhere in the range of 17-38 degrees;
• Carefully inspect the area to determine if there is interference. It is very simple to do this - if the view in the right direction is good, then everything is fine, and if not, then you need to find another place with a better view;
• Try to fix the plate as firmly as possible so as not to knock down the settings. Every time you get bored with tuning channels, so it’s better to use a reliable bracket and enjoy satellite TV from NTV with pleasure;

• And of course, for any TV channel to work normally, it is important to choose the right cable that will be resistant to weather conditions. Snow, rain and other precipitation will fall on it, so the equipment must be reliable;
• The cable must be connected to the receiver, and the receiver to the TV;
• Even if you don’t know the exact settings, you can catch them yourself by turning the plate in a horizontal and vertical plane until an image appears on the TV screen. When there is a picture, you need to look at the signal reception level - it should be above 50%;
• Log in to the site and get access rights to various packages. The operator helps beginners to fully enjoy broadcasting. There is a small amount on the account of a newly registered user that pays for the broadcasting of a standard package - all that remains is to set up the channels.

When the “Registration of the contract” operation is completed, the access card will activate its work, and within a day a person will be able to see what the provider has prepared for new users.

Setting up NTV Plus channels

At the moment, there are several ways to set up channels from the NTV Plus provider. There are two most popular options.

1. An automatic setting that looks like this:

• Enter the menu using the remote control;
• Find the subsection “Search for channels” there;
• Click it and monitor the status of the search. When it ends, all channels will start showing.

1. Setting up the TV manually has the following specifics:

• First you need to reset the tinctures. This is done in this way: “Settings” → “Default setting” → “Channels” → “Antenna” → “Satellite settings”;
• The device will require you to enter a password. Feel free to enter four zeros, but only if this option has not been changed;
• After that, when manually searching for TV channels on NTV Plus, you need to uncheck the boxes next to satellites, which are allowed by selecting only the one that NTV Plus works with. In this case, it is EutelsatW4 36E. Sometimes it happens that the service in question is blocked by the tuner or TV itself, and in order to open access, you just need to remove the access card and insert it back;
• Next, you need to configure the transponder. Here are the settings: 12130 R and Lnb levels (low = 0; high = 10750).

When the whole procedure is completed, you can proceed to the final step: Select the transponder and set the command "Search on the network". After that, you have to wait, because the setup takes a long time. But if all the changes were correct, then in half an hour all paid TV channels will work for you.

Setting up NTV Plus Vostok channels

The NTV Plus television company is one of the most popular in Russia, but in the eastern part of the country there were interruptions in broadcasting, which were resolved with the help of a new package and the Express-AT1 satellite. The change took place in 2014, so in 2017, users can enjoy the excellent broadcasting of popular channels and more in 2017 for several years.

If, for some reason, your equipment does not want to receive a signal that comes from this satellite, you can manually search for TV channels after entering the settings. This is not so difficult, since the reconfiguration can also be done manually. Soon television will start operating in standard mode, delighting viewers with a full package of TV channels.

So, in order to access the package, you need to check the satellite settings, and if they are not there, then first enter this satellite, and then fill in the broadcast parameters. Instructions on how to set up channels are simple:

• Open the receiver settings through the remote control and the "MENU" button;
• Turn on the search for NTV channels;
• Go through "Settings" - "Installation" - "Password" - "Search Mode" - "Enable";
• Enter transponder parameters: frequency - 12475; polarization - to the left; transfer rate - 27500; broadcasting - DVB-S2; modulation - 8PSK; FEC: 5/6;
• Check the "Level" and "Quality" of the signal. Click on "Search" again;
• Wait for the results and save them.

Everyone chooses the way to receive channels in digital quality, that's what I proceeded from when choosing:

Terrestrial digital television did not suit me, because of the small number of channels.

Cable TV - everything is more complicated here, the operator that provides TV via coaxial cable without using coding (no set-top boxes are needed) does not serve my home, and the operators that provide TV through the set-top box did not suit me either, because they pay a subscription fee for connecting one TV 300 rubles or more, in my opinion is expensive. Based on this, I chose satellite TV. The disadvantage of this method is that in order to use it, you must initially have an amount of about 10 thousand rubles. for the purchase of equipment. But you can always save money, for example, I had an old NTV + receiver, I exchanged it for a promotion with an additional payment for a new NTV + receiver - I’ll immediately clarify that this was a temporary promotion, I was just lucky to meet it during it. But promotions change and there is always the opportunity to buy a satellite kit cheaper. So, I didn’t have to choose between satellite operators, because I got an NTV + set with a contract and a card for a cheap price. All that remained was to set up the dish and enjoy digital channels, even channels in HD quality.

A little theory about satellite TV.

For those who are not at all aware of the installation of satellite equipment, I will explain that the dish should look strictly at the satellite broadcasting signal. Here it is worth telling a little more about the technology of satellite television.

The television signal is broadcast from a geostationary satellite "hanging" above the Earth. If you go a little deeper, then - the satellite rotates in the plane of the earth's equator at an altitude of about 35,000 km above the Earth's surface. The period of revolution in this orbit is one day. That is, a satellite moving in a geostationary orbit does not change its position relative to the Earth's surface (it constantly "hangs" over the same point on the equator).

With the help of a satellite dish, we focus the signal from the satellite to the point where the converter is located.

The converter is a receiving device that is mounted at the focus of the signal reflected from the satellite dish and converts this signal into an electrical one, after which it transmits it to the receiver - receiver.

The receiver is a device that converts the signal coming from the converter into a signal "understandable" for the TV. The receiver is connected to the TV using the HDMI, SCART, "tulip", etc. interface. depends on the model of the receiver and the connectors on the TV.

The general scheme is presented below.

Installing the NTV+ dish

So, we move from theory to practice. Below I will describe how I installed and configured NTV + (for those who configure Tricolor, the connection scheme will be similar).

I climbed onto the roof of my house and saw the following picture - two satellite dishes are hanging, there was a place just under mine.

If you pay attention, one dish is used for Tricolor (judging by the inscription on the plate, although this may not be the case), this is good, since Tricolor and NTV + broadcast from the same satellite, which means they are directed to the same point in the sky, adjust the direction accordingly antennas will be easier because the sample will be located nearby. You, too, when installing a satellite dish, can look around, since most people use either Tricolor or NTV +, respectively, you will understand in which direction you need to turn the antenna. If there are no dishes nearby, turn the dish to the south (since the satellite "hangs" on the equator), it should be noted that there should not be any trees and buildings on the path between the satellite and the direction of the dish, as they will not allow the signal to reach the dish.

First of all, you need to fasten the antenna bracket using anchor bolts (usually they come with the antenna). To do this, attach the bracket to the wall, mark the places where you need to drill holes, and use a drill to make holes with a depth and a radius of the anchor bolt. Then insert the bolts there.

Then attach the bracket to the wall and screw it on.

As a result of all actions, check that the bracket is firmly fixed and does not wobble.

After that, assemble the plate and attach to the bracket.

Next, you need to run a coaxial cable from the receiver (where the TV will be) to the satellite dish converter. If the cable is longer than 10 meters, you can buy a quality 75 ohm coaxial cable of the desired length.

After that, using an HDMI, SCART or "tulip" cable, connect the receiver to the TV. Then turn on the receiver, select the AV mode on the TV (corresponding interface). You will see the receiver menu, select the satellite in the settings (I remind you that for NTV + and Tricolor it will be the same satellite), for the European zone it will be EUTELSAT W4 / W7 or EUTELSAT 36A / 36B (they were renamed).

The next step is to set the dish strictly to the satellite. In order not to use additional devices that help tune channels that cost a lot of money (and there’s nothing if you want to set up one satellite dish for yourself), you will need an assistant who will monitor the signal level, and in the meantime you will turn plate. A cell phone can be used to communicate.

You should turn the plate by a millimeter in order to catch a good signal. The antenna rotates not only horizontally, but also vertically, do not forget about it.

As a result, I set up the NTV + dish (I decided prematurely).

I managed to achieve a signal of more than 70 percent, it was cloudy, so the result was no better. Having gone down after setting up the antenna, I quickly tuned the channels using auto-search and was quite pleased. BUT, when I turned on the HD channel, an information sign "No signal" appeared in front of me.

How so?! all channels work fine, and all HD write "No signal".

A call to technical support did not bring any result. I decided to spin the plate some more to achieve at least some signal level (as you can see in the picture below, the signal level of HD channels is 0%). To do this, in the menu, I chose the TP List - 11823/27500/V (it is responsible for some of the HD channels).

I climbed onto the roof and again began to slowly turn the antenna, my assistant remained near the TV and spoke the signal level. After literally 10-15 minutes, I managed to set up HD channels, they showed a signal level of about 73%. Having gone down, I could already see the channels in HD quality, the rest of the channels also showed excellently.

The bottom line of this whole story, do not believe people who say that only specialists with special equipment can install and set up satellite TV. Almost anyone can do this!

1. How to manually tune a TV with a built-in satellite receiver to the NTV Plus or Tricolor TV satellite?

For the sample, we chose a LG TV released in 2015 on the "WEB OC" operating system. Basically, the manual tuning algorithm for other TV models is not much different.
So. The TV is connected to a tuned and working satellite dish, and is set to receive TV - "Live TV". On the screen we see, respectively:

On the remote, press "Settings" or "Q.MENU".
Select "Advanced Settings" from the menu that appears.

A menu of full settings appears, where we select "Channels", "Search for channels".

After clicking on "Search channels", select there "Manual Search" and "Satellite"(if there is no additional terrestrial antenna or cable TV connected).

The most important search menu appears with parameter settings.

Suppose you need to find all the channels of the operator "NTV Plus" and only him!
Satellite select "Eutelsat 36".
A very important parameter: "LNB frequency" (in different TVs it may be called a little differently: "intermediate frequency", "upper and lower frequencies separately" ... It doesn't matter.
Always and everywhere we put there 10750 . For in other models 10600, 9750, 5100 can be offered ..., but we set only 10750 everywhere.
Next, select the "Transponder" (or the frequency of one of the satellite's transmitters). Since we need NTV Plus channels, we take any frequency from the section (if tuning to Tricolor TV is necessary, then we take it from the section What are the frequencies and parameters of Tricolor TV channels?).
We have now chosen a transponder with a frequency of 12130 MHz, right circular polarization.
Next, we monitor the scales of the level and quality of the signal. If everything is set correctly, then they should be more than 70%.

We make the "Search for a network" parameter enabled! Then the TV will automatically find all the others and only from the operator "NTV Plus" (and not another ~ 250 channels of unnecessary "garbage" from Tricolor TV, etc., which happens in the automatic search mode).
Some TVs do not have a network search mode. Then you will have to manually scan each transponder from the list (which was referred to above) separately.

As a result, we see that the TV found all 17 transponders of the NTV Plus operator.

Click "Finish", exit the settings menu and watch the channels we need if there is a CI + module with an activated access card.

P.S. If in the end you suddenly realize that it is difficult to edit channels there, create and switch favorite lists, inconvenient TV guide, etc. (which is inherent all primitive satellite receivers built into TVs) and it is so annoying that we are ready to use 2 remotes (the first one is for turning on / off the TV, the other for everything else), we recommend that you purchase any of the specialized satellite receivers we offer for your access module . Which, by the way, are often purchased by owners of high-end TVs, which, of course, have a built-in satellite receiver and a slot for a CI + access module.

2. A TV (receiver) with a CI + CAM NTV Plus module displays on the encrypted channel "Incorrect equipment settings. Please contact your operator". The service has been paid. What to do?

It is necessary to reboot the CI + CAM module ("reset to factory settings", "factory reset")

On the example of the TV "Samsung".

Go to TV menu

Select the command "System"

Select the command "Settings"

Select the command "Common interface"

Select the command "Menu CI"

By selecting the "Information" command, you can see information about subscriptions - have the money in the account run out? Then, perhaps, the problem is not in the module, but in the payment.

But, initially we assume that you are sure about the payment for services. So click on "Settings"

Select "Factory setting"

A menu appears asking:

Click "OK" to confirm and wait for the module to reboot. After that, we leave the device turned on on the encrypted channel and wait for the picture to appear.
The picture will not appear immediately. The wait can be several hours.
All transactions are carried out at "your own risk". If you are not sure (and there is a possibility that you will drop something else, very important), then it is better to contact our store for setting up the module and the card.

3. What are the frequencies of "Tricolor TV"? What are the frequencies of "NTV Plus"? What are the open channels on the satellite from which Tricolor TV and NTV Plus broadcast? Information on channel parameters - how to manually tune channels. What channels are there on the satellite yet?

Tricolor TV and NTV Plus are broadcast from Eutelsat 36A/36B satellites, "hanging" in geostationary orbit at an altitude of ~30,000 km strictly above the Equator at 36.0°E (east longitude). Taking a map, you can roughly determine the direction, the azimuth from Kaliningrad towards this satellite position.

When installing NTV plus equipment on your own, first of all, it is necessary to carry out high-quality installation and installation of technical equipment.

1. It is worth taking into account that the satellite television operator NTV Plus has several different manufacturers of dishes, and the exact angle of the direction of the television dish itself (from 17 to 38 degrees) will depend on them.

Also, the dish must be directed to the south, since the NTV satellites themselves are high above the equator. For accuracy, it is recommended to use a compass.

2. In order for the image quality to be excellent, it is necessary to install the antenna in such a way that various high-rise buildings, trees, structures, etc., do not interfere with the TV signal.

3. The installation of the bracket must be approached with the utmost responsibility. The quality of the signal will also depend on the strength of the installation.

Otherwise, over time, the dish may turn around or settle, the direction angle will change, which will certainly affect the level of the television signal.

4. The cable must be durable, weather resistant.

Important! Be sure to consult with the NTV plus operator before installing technical components yourself.

After installing the equipment, it is necessary to configure the antenna itself (satellite dish):

• the converting cable must first be connected to the receiver. The device receiving the signal is connected to a television device;

Note! For proper operation of the equipment, in order to avoid its breakdown or low-quality work, carefully read the installation and operation instructions!

• a small mirror mounted on a dish must be carefully turned (right / left / up / down), thereby adjusting its exact direction towards the satellite.
• In this case, it is necessary to observe the changes on the TV screen. Manipulations must be done before the appearance of the image;

• when it was possible to fix the presence of an image, on the receiving equipment you need to activate the function "Signal acceptance level". The higher the value on the signal definition scale, the better the image quality will be.

Equipment Registration

To make further settings, you should register on the official resource of the NTV plus operator.

This must be done in order to register the access card and the CL module.

CL module- this is a device that, using a special hole in the TV and a decoding device (access card), allows the subscriber to access the closed programs of the television operator.

After completing the registration and activating it via e-mail, such a service as "Registration of the contract" will become active in the user's personal account.

After registration, within 24 hours the access card will be activated automatically.

Receiver setup

If you use your own equipment and an NTV Plus dish, then when using the standard receiver settings recommended for NTV satellite television users, the receiver will be automatically set to the required parameters.

To do this, just press the button on the remote control to turn it off, and then turn it on again.

If the automatic setting did not take place, try disconnecting the terminal from the power supply, and when connected to the network again, repeat the manipulations.

If, after the above recommendations, automatic tuning did not occur, you should reset all settings to the factory settings, after which the receiver will start to automatically search for the channel settings of the NTV plus television operator again.

Do not forget to check the level of the signal reception scale, the problem may be in the low frequency.

Setting up NTV plus channels

Channel tuning in this case can occur both in automatic mode and through manual settings.

To perform automatic channel installation, select "Automatic channel installation" in the menu.

If you have installed the equipment correctly, all channels will be tuned in full automatically without your participation within a few minutes.

Searching for channels manually is a more time-consuming process:

1. It is necessary to reset the settings to the factory settings, after which in the Menu item you need to select the Setup, and then the Default setting.

After selecting this item, select Channels, Antenna, and then Satellite Setup.

2. The receiving equipment will ask for a password which, when factory set, is four zeros (“0000”).

If you managed to change this numerical value, then enter your option.

3. In the window that appears, you will see a list of allowed satellites.

It is necessary to remove the checkmarks in front of each of them, leaving only Eutelsat w4 36e. If the function is not available for some reason, you need to remove the access card from the device.

4. After that, you need to configure the receiving device (transponder) itself according to the following parameters: 12130 "R", the lower level of the lnb must correspond to "0", and the upper one "10750".

5. So, after changing all the above settings in the manual setup mode, you need to select the receiving equipment recommended by the device and set the target

Network search. Perhaps in this mode, setting up channels will take a lot of time, but all the channels included in the package will certainly be set up properly.

Setting up a Samsung and LG TV

In TV models of these companies, a CAM module is often automatically present.

CAM module, or conditional access module, is a decoding device built into the TV that allows you to receive closed-access television signals.

Samsung TV setup instructions:

1. Using the remote control, you need to go to the Settings Menu of the TV itself, and select "Broadcast" there.

3. Next, go to the LNB settings section (LNB converter receives satellite signals and converts them to low-frequency ones), and select any receiving device recommended by the device. You need to turn off the DiSEqC mode, and the tone is 22 KHz. The lower level of the lnb should correspond to "9750", and the upper one - "10750".

6. From the list of satellite dishes, again select Eutelsat w4 36e, and from the list of transponders, select the one that is listed under the number 11900 (v / r) 27500, then agree to save the settings.

7. Select "Network search".

9. In the "Sort" menu item, you can assign different target categories to the channels, for example, News channels, Children's channels, Entertainment channels, etc.
After that, the setting of the Samsung TV is considered certified.

LG TV setup instructions:

1. Using the remote control, you need to go to the TV settings and select the “Broadcast” item there.

2. The list of satellite dishes will come out again, among which you need to choose exactly Eutelsat w4 36e. After that, it is better to save the settings.

3. Next, go to the LNB Settings section and select any receiving device recommended by the device. You need to turn off the DiSEqC mode, and the tone is 22 KHz. The lower level of the lnb should correspond to "9750", and the upper one - "10750".

4. On the control panel, double-click the "Return" button.

6. From the list of satellite dishes, again select Eutelsat w4 36e, and from the list of transponders, select the one that is listed under the number 12322 (r) 27500, and then agree to save the settings.

7. Select "Network search".

8. In the Menu, we again find the Broadcast section, and in it Change channels. If you need to assign a specific number to a channel, we do this using the “Change number” function.

9. In the menu item "Sort", we can also divide the channels by topic.

The total number of pay TV channels that can be viewed in one home may vary. It all depends on the service package you choose. But to activate any package, the HTB-Plus setting is required. You can do it yourself.

Determining the installation location of the NTV-Plus antenna

In order to have a reliable reception of a satellite television signal, you need to choose an open area. There should be no tall trees, branches, buildings, bridges, flagpoles, etc. Most often, the antenna is installed on the roof, you can also fix it simply on the wall, on the loggia or balcony. It is very important to protect the structure from bad weather.

Each user can install and configure the HTB-Plus antenna on their own. But still, some parameters are best left to professionals.

Antenna installation and tuning steps

Before starting the installation of a satellite dish, you need to make sure that the equipment kit includes everything you need. Sometimes it happens that for some reason the equipment is incomplete, or a person does not understand why this or that part is needed.

To install the antenna you need:

• satellite receiver or built-in set-top box;
• coaxial cables with connectors;
• a plate with a diameter of at least 60 cm;
• converter and access card;
• user manual and contract.

The very first thing that is done before installing the NTV-Plus antenna is registration on the company's official website. The user must go through the procedure for registering the equipment, otherwise it will not work.

Assembling a plate for "NTV-Plus" with a diameter of 60 cm

When the place is chosen, among the equipment you need to find the bracket on which the plate is actually attached. A cable is attached to it, which extends to the TV. In TVs of different brands, the places (nests) in which cables must be attached are located differently. If the receiver is not built-in, then the wire will have to be connected to it.

Self-configuring "NTV-Plus"

When the antenna is set up and the cables are connected, the most important step comes - the actual setup. To do this, you need to know the settings. In particular, it is necessary to know the frequency of the signal. If after entering the data the channel does not show, then something is done wrong. In case of incorrect equipment settings, contact your operator.

There are 2 ways to tune channels - manual and automatic. The second one practically does not require any effort on the part of the user, because. to start the automatic tuning mode, you only need to press a few keys on the remote control. This is done in several steps: "Menu => channel search => ok". If the parameters on the receiver (including the frequency) have been set correctly, then the setting will be successful.

Manual satellite dish tuning

The manual search option is much more complex, so experience is required to effectively carry out this procedure. But if you still decide to do it yourself, then you can follow the following instructions.

1. Reset all existing settings if they were previously set. This is done in steps: "Menu => setup => default setting => channels => antenna => satellite setup".
2. After that, use the receiver to set up a satellite dish, and when you are prompted to enter a password, you must enter four zeros.
3. After that, a tab will open where there will be many satellites. In front of some you can see checkmarks. These are the satellites that are allowed by default. It is necessary to remove the marks in front of the satellite, otherwise the frequency of their broadcast will also be taken into account. In this case, it is necessary to leave a checkmark in front of the Eutelsat W4-36E satellite. In some cases, such manipulations may not be possible for the user. To open access, you need an access card.
4. Check transponder parameters. The following indicators are usually used: 12130 R and Lnb levels (lower - 0, upper - 10750).
5. After setting up the transponder, it is necessary to proceed to the final stage, namely, entering all the parameters in a special line. The broadcast frequency must be entered in the "Manual tuning" section. To start a network search, you must select the previously specified transponder. Be prepared that the search will take a very long time. But a tuned antenna will show any channel.

Set-top boxes and TV

Setting up the NTV-Plus Vostok antenna on different TVs

For different brands of TVs, the principles of setting may be different. It is not difficult to understand them.

Instructions for setting up Samsung and LG TVs

1. To set up NTV-Plus channels on Samsung TVs, first make sure that the device has a CAM module.
2. Select "Broadcast" from the menu.
3. Go to the selected antennas, check the box next to "Eutelsat W4-36E".
4. Save the specified settings.
5. Enter the "LNB Settings" tabs, select a transponder (any).
6. At the same time, make sure that the "DiSEqC" mode is turned off. Set the lower and upper LNB settings to 9750 and 10750 respectively. Be sure to include TOH 22 kHz.
7. On the remote control, press the "Return" button 2 times, and then go to the manual channel search.
8. Select satellite "Eutelsat W4-36E" and transponder number 11900 (V/R) 27500. Start the search process.

If the setup was carried out by an experienced master, then the channels can be sorted into categories to make them easier to use.

Setting up "NTV-Plus" on LG TVs is carried out according to the same scheme, only other parameters that can be found in the instructions are taken into account.
