One of the most famous and widespread television operators in Russia broadcasting channels in high quality is the Tricolor TV satellite. According to the company, it has more than 10 million users.
Plate selection
At present, the operator Tricolor broadcasts to the central part of Russia and to Siberia. For these purposes, a total of three satellites are used. With the right equipment and settings in any weather, you can enjoy a clear picture on the screen of your TV.
For high-quality reception of channels, you must install the included dish. But the choice of diameter must be approached with all responsibility, because it is tied to the region of residence. The 55 cm diameter antenna included is not suitable for everyone. It is better if you decide to catch the signal that the Tricolor satellite gives, using a plate with a diameter of 90 cm. This will ensure reliable signal reception in any weather in all regions of the country.
Equipment
If you decide to tune in to the Tricolor satellite, keep in mind that the manufacturer includes a plate with a diameter of 55 cm, 10 meters of cable, 2 connectors, a Ku converter, and a digital receiver in the standard set. If you want to change the basic configuration, then this must be agreed on an individual basis.
Customers who decide to switch to Tricolor services from other satellite TV operators can try to reduce the cost of installed equipment. So, for example, if you already have a receiver that supports Z-Crypt encoding (or as it is also called DRE-Crypt), then it can be used. It’s also not necessary to change your plate. The main thing is simply to correctly aim it at the Tricolor satellite. When installing, it is important not only to choose the optimal plate size, but also immediately connect it to the lightning rod.
Broadcast Features
For those who decided to install satellite television for the first time, it’s a little hard to get used to a number of nuances. On ordinary analogue channels, the broadcast time coincided with what was written in the program guide. But having switched to modern television, it will be necessary to rebuild: broadcasting will go on Moscow time for the central part of the Federation and on Novosibirsk if the Tricolor Siberia satellite is connected. This must be considered when you select the programs you want to watch.
It is also worth considering immediately that the channels provided in the center of the country and in its Siberian part are not the same. Differences can be found even in the basic package, which is provided absolutely free.
Suggested Programs
Before tuning to the Tricolor TV satellite, it is advisable to familiarize yourself with the proposed channel packages. So, the “Basic” option, available absolutely free of charge, allows you to watch such programs: “Informkanal” from the operator, “Russia”, “First”, NTN, NTV, “Vesti”, “Culture”, “Soyuz” and several others. Their list is not too long. To gain access to the expanded list of channels, you must subscribe to one of the paid tariff plans.
Subscribers can connect the Optimum package and gain access to 16 more channels for only 600 rubles a year. In a more privileged position will be those who will have a receiver that supports MPEG-4. They can use the Super Optimum package and gain access to almost another 30 channels, paying only 600 rubles a year.
In addition to these options, everyone can subscribe to nightly channels or to programs for children, depending on their preferences. Sports fans can choose Our Football, music lovers - the Musical package, movie fans SuperKino HD.
For 10 thousand a year, you can purchase the tariff plan "Golden Card. All inclusive". The Tricolor satellite will be available at any time, in one package you will receive absolutely all channels and radio stations, moreover, you can count on special customer service.
Available satellites
Broadcasting company "Tricolor" carries out on a large territory of the Federation. But at the same time, only two satellites Eutelsat 36A and Eutelsat 36B are used in the European part of the country. They allow not only to carry out high-quality broadcasting, but also periodically expand the list of available channels.
But the company does not stop there, it is looking for additional opportunities for work. After all, each operator dreams of expanding its customer base, and Tricolor is no exception. New satellites, for example, will cover remote areas. So, on April 22, 2014, the Siberian region, part of the Far East, and the Urals became available for the company. This was made possible thanks to the launch of the Express AT1 satellite into orbit. Now residents of these territories can enjoy the full package of services of this television operator. The Tricolor company leased 10 transponders on a satellite. This is what made it possible to significantly increase the number of channels broadcast in excellent quality.
Operator Achievements
When installing proven equipment and plates with a suitable diameter, complaints about the quality of the signal from subscribers, as a rule, do not happen even in adverse weather. In addition, according to many, tariffs for services are fully consistent with their quality.
But the advantages of the operator are noted not only by grateful customers. By the way, it was they who contributed to the fact that in 2011 the company received the “Brand No. 1 in Russia” award. In addition, the operator has already been the winner of the All-Russian Big Digit award three times. He was awarded for developing and popularizing the digital broadcasting market and for being able to get into the top advertisers. At the end of December 2013, Tricolor was recognized as the largest operator in the high-definition television market.
