Tricolor TV: how to connect a second TV

Tricolor TV systems for receiving satellite digital television in Russia have already become the same household items as electric irons or vacuum cleaners. The irresistible difference in quality and noise immunity of the signal of analog television and digital is already clear even to elementary school students.

The question of installing or not installing the Tricolor TV system has already ceased to be relevant. And at the same time, the task arises in installing more advanced equipment, which simultaneously expands the reception capabilities and improves the quality of the received signal.

And another aspect of this phenomenon is that a part of the population has preserved television receivers for receiving an analog signal, while others already have receivers of new generations.

All these questions around the comfortable use of digital signal reception systems of the Tricolor TV satellite system require additional consideration.

These issues are not so much in apparent complexity, but in the unpreparedness of users for the rapidly changing technologies for transferring media content. The most important question now is how to connect the Tricolor to the TV yourself. Where does the installation start?

Installing a satellite dish

In this video, you will be clearly demonstrated that installing a Tricolor TV satellite dish does not take much effort and time.

If the antenna and all components have already been purchased, you can proceed with self-installation. A satellite dish, which is popularly called a dish, is assembled and prepared for installation at home. To do this, the receiving head is mounted on a bracket, then a connecting cable is connected to it. A plate support is fixed on a vertical part of a wall, balcony or other surface.

Its position should provide direct visibility of the satellite. Any obstacles in the signal path must be removed. The obstruction can be a tree, a building, or even a nearby balcony.

If there are no other Tricolor antennas nearby, then you can navigate by the sun. At 14.00, the position of the sun will just indicate the position of the satellite. Now it only remains to install the plate on the support, observing all possible safety rules in everyday life.

Be sure to tighten all the mounting bolts so that in windy weather the antenna does not hang out and does not lose the direction of the signal.

Connecting the receiver to a TV

In the current variety of receiving equipment and terms, it is easy to get lost. The receiver is a transducer that is connected via a cable to the dish. The connection is made in direct dependence on the purchased kit. All necessary connections are made using the connectors located on the rear panel.

You just need to choose the right one. There is an LNB IN connector on the rear panel to connect the antenna cable. This is where the cable is connected using a similar connector. Next to this jack is the LNB OUT jack.

From this connector you can take a signal that will go directly to the antenna jack of the TV. This is the RF (high frequency) signal output. But, depending on the receiver you have, the TV can be connected using SCART, HDMI or cinch sockets.

In this case, you must select a connection option. To get started, you can simply connect the TV's antenna jack to the LNB OUT jack using a piece of TV cable.

When this connection is established, we connect the power supply to the receiver and turn on the button on the front panel. We turn on the network and the TV. “Boot” will light up on the front panel display of the receiver. This means that everything is connected, everything works, and the receiver is booting up.

This will take some time. Now you need to start an automatic channel search on the TV. When the TV's search engine finds the receiver's signal, the search will stop.

After downloading, the message “No signal” will appear on the TV screen, and the channel number will appear on the receiver’s display. As soon as the antenna captures the channel signal, an information splash screen will appear on the TV screen.

Press twice on the remote control button "I" of the receiver. After that, a scale of quality and signal strength will appear on the screen. You can now return to the cymbal to fine-tune.

Similarly, the tuner is turned on for the first time using other connectors. The only difference is that on the TV you need to use the SOURCE button to select the connection option.

Connecting two TVs to one receiver

In this video, you will be told how to connect the Tricolor TV set to two TVs. Take note of this video!

The appeared kits for receiving satellite digital television of the largest operator Tricolor TV provide for the possibility of connecting two or more TV sets to one antenna.

But this system has different options. If the same channels are viewed on two TVs, this is one case. And if it is possible to view various programs, then this will require additional costs, although there is such a possibility.

To view one channel on two TVs, it is enough to buy an additional signal divider and the required cable length. If your receiver provides the ability to connect multiple outputs, then you can even do without a divider.

Connect the output from the receiver to one TV via the antenna connector, and connect to another TV via SKART or HDMI. The main thing is that this function is provided for in the second TV.

Viewing different channels from one receiver to two TVs will require the purchase of another receiver and client. The receiver will now consist of two tuners, two LNB connections. The receiver will work as a server, and the client will work as a receiver in an organized local area network.

They are connected by a twisted pair, and with certain financial investments, you can organize a connection with a second TV similar to the WI-FI system using a router, that is, a wireless system.

Both TVs will have personal remote controls and will work completely independently. What is the object of reflection in this variant? The cost of such a kit will be quite high. Here it is necessary to calculate the feasibility of acquiring, on the one hand, two conventional sets, and, on the other hand, a set with a new configuration for connecting two TVs.

There are no longer any problems in the question - how to connect Tricolor TV to the TV on your own or with the participation of specialists. An important issue is to choose the right configuration of the receiving set so that everything is consistent with the budget.

But, no matter what questions arise with the purchase and installation of Tricolor TV sets, its quality characteristics, the ability to watch about 50 different channels with excellent quality, have lost any alternative.

The simplicity and reliability of the receiving equipment and the ease of installation and configuration can be considered the decisive selection criteria.
