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 over 10 million users.
Plate selection
Currently, the Tricolor operator broadcasts to the central part of Russia and Siberia. A total of three satellites are used for these purposes. With the right selection of equipment and settings in any weather, you can enjoy a clear picture on your TV screen.
For high-quality reception of channels, you must install the dish included in the kit. But the choice of diameter must be approached with all responsibility, because it is tied to the region of residence. The included 55 cm antenna is not suitable for everyone. It is better if you decide to catch the signal that the Tricolor satellite gives using a dish 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, then please note that the manufacturer includes a dish in the standard kit,which diameter is 55 cm, 10 meters of cable, 2 connectors, Ku converter, digital receiver. If you want to change the basic equipment, 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. Also, it is not necessary to change your plate at all. The main thing is to simply aim it correctly at the Tricolor satellite. When installing, it is important not only to choose the optimal size of the dish, but also immediately connect it to the lightning rod.
Broadcast features
For those who decide to install satellite TV for the first time, it is a little hard to get used to a number of nuances. On conventional analog channels, the broadcast time coincided with what was written in the program guide. But having switched to modern television, we will have to reorganize: broadcasting will be on Moscow time for the central part of the Federation and on Novosibirsk time if the Tricolor Siberia satellite is connected. This must be taken into account when choosing the programs you want to watch.
It is also worth considering right away 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.
Programs Offered
Before you tune in to the Tricolor TV satellite, it is advisable to familiarize yourself with the offered 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”, “Union” and several others. Their list is not too long. To gain access to an extended list of channels, you must subscribe to one of the paid tariff plans.
Subscribers can subscribe to the Optimum package and get access to 16 more channels for only 600 rubles a year. Those who will have a receiver that supports MPEG-4 will be in a more privileged position. They can use the Superoptimum package and get access to almost 30 more channels, paying only 600 rubles a year.
In addition to the above options, anyone can subscribe to nightly channels or 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 Eutelsat 36A satellites are used in the European part of the countryand Eutelsat 36B. They allow not only 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, every operator dreams of expanding its customer base, and Tricolor is no exception. New satellites, for example, will allow coverage of remote areas. So, on April 22, 2014, the Siberian region, part of the Far East, the Urals became available to the company. This became possible due 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 rented 10 transponders on the 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 a dish of a suitable diameter, subscribers, as a rule, have no complaints about signal quality even in adverse weather. In addition, according to many, the tariffs for services fully correspond to their quality.
But not only grateful customers note the advantages of the operator. By the way, it was they who contributed to the fact that in 2011 the company received the “Brand No. 1 in Russia” award.
