Customer feedback
According to reviews about the Internet from Tricolor TV, users are not always satisfied with the service provided. When the company promises a maximum speed of up to 20 Mbps, in reality it is only 5-6 Mbps. This upsets customers.
And from next month, the speed drops to 300-400 Kbps. Any page on the Internet with such data transfer opens for about a minute. As a result, many users even get the feeling that the company has a rule: in the first month after connection, provide more or less high speed, and then reduce it as much as possible, therebyforcing them to switch to more expensive tariffs.
This attitude towards their customers frankly outrages many. There remains a large number of negative reviews about "Tricolor TV".
Equipment
To use the services of a provider, you must connect the appropriate equipment. Which one you need to purchase depends on your needs. Are you going to just watch TV channels or will you still play computer games. Are you going to connect satellite internet? If necessary, in certain cases, you will need to purchase additional equipment.
The most common device that you absolutely need to receive a digital television signal and then transmit it to your TV screen is a receiver.
Without shares, the cheapest set with a conditional access module will cost 4,990 rubles. In the reviews about the receiver for "Tricolor" TV, users say that they must purchase it along with the plate, they install everything. Then the wizard is called, who connects and configures everything.
After about a year of almost uninterrupted operation, serious problems begin, connected just with the receiver. Updates for it are constantly appearing, which in reality only harm the equipment. In addition, the design is changing, which is why using the services is simply inconvenient. Over time, a new update package comes, with which the receiver completely turns into a useless idle device.
Breviews of Tricolor TV, some users note that when problems become systemic, they are actually forced to switch to another provider. With him, they find much more comfortable conditions for virtually the same money. After that, they only regret that they have been cooperating with the company for such a long time, depriving themselves of the opportunity to use really high-quality services for the provision of television content.
Modules of conditional access
In the feedback about the modules for "Tricolor TV" customers claim that the equipment itself is of high enough quality. Which, unfortunately, cannot be said about the work of the provider. In fact, the module is a plate into which a smart card of any digital satellite television operator is inserted. It can be installed in any TV with the appropriate slot, built-in satellite receiver.
Users admit that they have no complaints about the device itself, it really is of high quality. But when using it with the Tricolor TV provider, problems regularly arise, as a result of which the channels go astray, their usual order is violated, and the quality decreases.
Because of this, it is increasingly possible to meet the opinions of customers who swear that they will go to competitors at the first opportunity.
User experience of satellite TV
Most of the feedback about the work of this provider is connected with satellite TV. In reviews of HD in "Tricolor TV" usersrecognize that they get really high quality for relatively little money. The subscription fee is very democratic, at least for such a volume of services provided.
In addition, when connecting satellite TV in "Tricolor", in the reviews they pay special attention to this, there is no subscription fee. True, this cannot be called a gift, since in reality it is included in the cost of the equipment.
There are a large number of really interesting channels in the packages, almost around the clock you can find at least something interesting for yourself. In addition, the prevalence of this provider, which can be found anywhere in the Russian Federation, captivates.
Negative
Recently, the provider is increasingly promoting a satellite receiver on the market, designed to receive pictures in Full HD. In reviews of Tricolor TV, it is with this option that constant problems arise. The model proposed by the company has not been finalized. When this receiver is connected, no one notices at least some improvement in the quality of the transmitted picture.
Neither numerous consultations nor attempts to replace the cords with newer and fancy ones help, the picture remains the same. In addition, the technique turns out to be very capricious when receiving a signal: after a reboot, the settings and the order of the channels get lost.
Problems constantly arise due to bad weather. In heavy snow and rain, the quality rapidly begins to deteriorate, the same thing happens with gusts of wind. The signal disappears, which the viewers will learn about from the TV screens instead of watching their favorite programs. Most of the channels contained in each package are encrypted and must be paid for separately. Some also run one ad around the clock.
Poor selection of channels in packages, especially in comparison with other providers, is noted by the majority of Tricolor users and clients. In addition, the company constantly overpriced Chinese-made equipment, which is frankly of poor quality.
In general, the company does not respect its subscribers, many users have already seen this. Tricolor's policy is that they force subscribers to purchase new equipment, and at inflated prices. With old technology, almost no channel works at all. In addition, the company regularly introduces new channel packages, canceling those that were before. At the same time, the prices for new subscriptions increase significantly. The new packages promise that the number of channels will only increase, while they will be really interesting and in demand, but in reality the number is mainly growing due to the same type of "Shops on the couch", which no one watches anyway.
In some cities where satellite television is not as developed as in large settlements, people have to put up with the fact that they have no other options than to use the services of "Tricolor TV". Therefore, they still connect to this provider, although in recent years its quality haswork deteriorates significantly. A lot of unflattering reviews about the company are connected with this.
