How to connect t2? This question puzzled millions of Russians last year. It excites many to this day.
What is t2? For the uninitiated, it is worth explaining that this is the short name for the second generation digital television standard, which is currently used in Russia to broadcast twenty free channels. Its full name is as follows: dvb-t2, and stands for “digital video broadcast of the second generation.”
The core of the problem
Why is the question of how to connect T2 so worried about thousands of our fellow citizens? Because in 2019 there will be a complete shutdown of analog broadcasting. An exception is made only for regional television channels, and then only for one year. After this period, all local TV companies will have to switch to digital.
Modern TVs
The question of how to connect T2 may not be puzzled only by owners of plasma and LCD TV receivers of the most modernmodels. They provide the function of viewing digital television in dvb-t2 format through a built-in tuner. Therefore, all those who like to spend their free time at the blue screen should carefully read the instructions from their TV receivers. If the TV is equipped with the above function, then it remains only to use the remote control to enter its settings and start searching for dvb-t2 broadcast channels. They are usually easy to find. Technology without human intervention perfectly copes with this task.
If the automatic search was not successful, then you need to use the manual option. In this case, you will need to find out in advance at what frequency digital television is broadcast in your area and enter this parameter. Immediately after this setting, all twenty channels will be available for viewing.
TV boxes
One of the most sought after products on the shelves of electrical stores at the present time is digital television tuners. They are also called receivers or set-top boxes for digital TV. If your TV is not equipped with a built-in model of such a device, then the answer to the question of how to connect T2 will sound something like this: purchase a tuner in the store, connect and configure it. Receivers, in addition to viewing digital air, as a rule, have some more additional functions. One of the most useful features of such devices is the recording of television programs.
If for some reason you cannot watch your favorite TV show, you can save it to a flash drive, which is usuallyconnects to the set-top box using the USB port. Recording can also take place in time shift mode. In this case, watching the program will be like using a DVD, blu-ray or media player: you can pause at any time. In this case, you will be watching the program already in the recording. With the excellent video quality that this function provides, the difference between the recording and the live broadcast is most often imperceptible.
If you do not need the device to perform any other functions other than receiving television waves, then you can choose the simplest, budget model. The main thing is that it provides stable signal reception.
How to connect the prefix t2?
When this device has already been selected and purchased, then its owner faces the question indicated in the section heading. So, how to connect a t2 tuner? This can be done using a connecting cable with HDMI or cinch plugs, depending on which connectors are present on the rear panels of the TV and receiver.
If the type of "jacks" is the same, then you are incredibly lucky, especially if the kit from the purchased receiver includes a connecting cable with suitable plugs. What should I do if the ports of the TV tuner and TV receiver are different from each other? And in this situation, do not be upset. The way out of this situation is quite simple. You need to purchase a special adapter. Such devices may be called differently (modulator, for example).
An old horse will not spoil the reins
And how to connect t2 to the olda TV that only has an antenna jack on the back? Experts say that a digital receiver can be connected to almost any TV receiver model. So, if your TV is equipped with one single "jack", the one intended for the antenna, you will need to buy a device that converts the signal from the set-top box into one that can be transmitted through the antenna connector. This device is called an RF modulator. It is he who helps to connect the T2 to the old TV.
Audio signal
If you are used to watching movies only with high quality sound, then, in addition to the TV, you should also connect a stereo system to the TV tuner. This can be done using two components of the "tulip" connector, responsible for the right and left audio channels.
Also, many receivers have "jacks" for connecting to multi-channel systems.
High-quality sound will be needed not only for watching TV, but also if you plan to play any media files (audio or video) on the set-top box. Most tuners are known to be able to perform this function.
Settings
Don't forget to connect a decimeter antenna (indoor or outdoor) to the tuner. Digital broadcast, just like analog, can be watched only with this device.
The question of how to connect T2 to a TV is almost solved. It remains only to configure the reception of channels. Here, most often, a technique comes to the aid of a person that performs thistask automatically. If such a setting fails, then, as already mentioned in one of the first chapters, you will have to specify the frequency at which the broadcast is conducted yourself, using the remote control, going to the desired setting item.
Consideration of the question of how to connect T2 to a TV can be considered complete. Now you can enjoy the excellent picture and sound quality that this broadcast provides.
