Channels can be configured in several ways:
You can use the operator's channel settings; to do this, you need to go to the parameters (settings) of the CAM CI module in the menu of your TV. Select “Update channel list” and then follow the on-screen prompts. Sometimes the TV itself may offer to use the operator’s profile to configure channels. Thanks to this search, we will get a proprietary channel sorting - News, Cinema, Sports, Everything, etc.
Or use manual search channels (on some models this is the only way to configure channels).
For us, there should be a number - 10750 in the upper and lower ranges (sometimes there is only one line in the settings). Also check the name of the satellite - Eutelsat 36/Express-AMU.
Now you can start searching for channels, let's look at an example on an LG TV.
We go to the item “ Manual setting” (sometimes this item is inactive, then you need to start an auto search and stop it immediately). Select the transponder frequency (if it doesn’t exist, you just need to create it). The frequency is 11881 and we start the search.
Now the same frequency, but with the “Search for network” checkbox active. This is how our TV will find all channels.
On Samsung TVs, you first need to delete channels following this path:
“Menu” - “Broadcast” - “Change channel”, then in the window that opens in the lower left corner, select “Select all” and then “Delete”. Afterwards we need to return to the “Broadcast” submenu and select “Channel Settings” - “Manual Settings”.
On Sony TVs Searching and editing a transponder can be done through auto-search using this path:
“Home” - “Settings” - “Digital configuration” - “Satellite auto-tuning”. The “Antenna Configuration” item should be “Fixed Antenna”.
Let's continue:
“Next” - “Reinstall satellite settings” - then we repeat - “Digital configuration” - “Satellite auto-tuning” - “Antenna configuration” - “Next” - “Select scan type” (we need “Network scanning”, “All” channels, “All stations”)
Let's continue:
“Next” - “Satellite 1” - “LNB configuration (lower and upper bands - 10750).
Afterwards you need to go back using the “Back/Return” button and go to the “Transponder” item where we can set the frequency to 11881.
Then go back twice using the “Back/Return” button and press “start”.
Setting up and connecting the Cam module
Tricolor TV
Currently, many modern TVs are equipped with built-in satellite tuner and a connector for the Cam module, which allows you to view TV channels from satellite operators. To view channels satellite operator Tricolor TV, it is advisable that your TV supports HD AVC broadcast standards (MPEG-4 H.264), which will allow you to view programs as in high quality HD and SD formats.
To connect the Tricolor TV Cam module to a TV, you need to purchase the following equipment:
1. Cam-module Tricolor TV;
2. Smart card (included with Cam module and one-year subscription);
3. Satellite dish;
4. Circular polarization converter;
5. RG-6 cable (or analogue) for connecting the satellite dish to the TV.
Next you need to install and configure satellite dish to broadcast programs of the satellite operator Tricolor TV (Eutelsat W4/W7 36.0`E) and using TV cable and connect the F-connectors to the plug of your TV marked “SATTELITE”.
You can set up a satellite dish yourself, but for high-quality broadcasting it is better to contact specialists.
We carry out subsequent work on setting up the Tricolor TV Cam module directly with the TV:
1. Insert the smart card into the Cam module until it stops (according to the instructions on the sticker);
2. Insert the module into the TV connector;
We perform the first two points with the TV turned off!!!
3. Using the remote control, you need to reset the TV settings to factory settings. To do this, press the “menu” button and select: - “support” - “self-diagnosis” - “reset”, press the “OK” button, after which the TV will reboot;
4. After the reboot is complete, press the “menu” button, then select the “channel” --- “antenna” menu item and select the “satellite” submenu.
5. In the “channel” menu, go down to the “satellite system” submenu and click “OK”;
6. A window will appear asking for a PIN code, where we enter the values - 0000 (by default), a list of satellites will appear, where you need to uncheck all the boxes next to the list of satellites, except for the satellite with the designation - Eutelsat W4/W7 36E (if you cannot uncheck the boxes marked satellites: remove the module from the TV and reset the TV settings again);
7. Go to the “satellite selection” menu and select the satellite - Eutelsat W4/W7 36E.
And in the LNB settings we indicate the following data:
Transponder - 12226 H
Lower gen. LNB - 0
Top gen. LNB - 10750;
8. Then go to the “manual settings” menu, look for transponder 12226 H and press the “search” button;
9. After scanning Tricolor TV satellite channels, press the “save” button.
This completes the setup of the CAM - Tricolor TV module, let's enjoy watching TV shows!!!
This material was reviewed on a Samsung TV; connecting and setting up the Cam - Tricolor TV module on TV models from other manufacturers is carried out in a similar way.
How to set up Tricolor on a Samsung TV? Before performing such an operation, let’s go through the instructions for hardware connection of devices:
- connect the satellite dish to the TV:
- Connect the antenna directly via the “Satellite” jack. In this situation, home appliances will be able to automatically pick up digital information supplied by the antenna. The final image is displayed;
- connecting an antenna via a satellite receiver is a working method in the absence of the above connector. Here the receiver is responsible for receiving and transmitting the signal to the screen. By appearance it resembles an ordinary VCR.
- start searching for TV programs, but more on that later - first, let's look at the algorithm for resetting the settings to the standard ones set by the manufacturer.
Restarting the configuration is useful when the user independently carried out steps to configure the mode of use of the equipment. We go to the support section, then go through the following hierarchy of folders and items:
- "Self-diagnosis";
- "Reset";
- indicate the PIN code (standardly this field contains four zeros);
- We confirm the intention to reset the established connection parameters.
Please note that in the current step you do not need to attach the Cam module.

- check the box next to the companion's name;
When the name of the correct satellite cannot be found in the catalog, resort to manual configuration.
- write down the information in the frame called “LNB Settings”, checking it with the satellite communications operator;
- Make sure the signal level is between 80 and 100 percent. When broadcast does not reach 80%:
- deactivate “Tone – 22KHz”;
- make sure the antenna is connected correctly;
- Be prepared for the possibility of interference when broadcasting TV programs;
- click on “Scanning”;
- wait until the equipment finds available channels;
- click "Close";
- close the configuration menu directly.
Conclusion
We figured out how to set up the tricolor Cam module on Samsung TV. Now we will give a number of warnings, the implementation of which will allow you to avoid errors in setting up the equipment:
- The module integration procedure takes place in accordance with the specific hardware. This means that you will need to read the operating instructions for the TV model;
- CI setup is completed by upgrading the activation keys. The upgrade request is made on the Samsung resource in a pre-created account.
Return to the default configuration if something went wrong during the setup process and you were unable to save the channel list!
Before setting up Tricolor TV on your TV, you must carefully read the installation and installation instructions internal settings. Only proper installation will allow you to avoid any difficulties during use. Installing the system is quite labor-intensive, but allows you to save on the services of a specialist. If you first study step by step instructions, then no problems will arise during the installation and synchronization of equipment. You should also study the settings in advance so that the receiver works correctly.
First, you need to independently mount the antenna on the external wall of the house and adjust the mirrors to the satellite. To do this, you need to pay attention to the following points:
- Selecting an installation location. The dish should be fixed so that it is located on the side of the satellite, which is located on the equator and located in the south. Please note that there should be no obstacles between the satellite and the antenna. Even small trees can create significant interference.
- Distance between equipment. The closer the tuner and antenna are, the clearer the system will work. In this case, setting up the receiver will be much easier.
- Correct installation. When assembling the antenna, it should be taken into account that the converter must be installed with the holder facing up. This eliminates the possibility of the negative impact of precipitation on the functioning of the system, protecting the “heads” from bad weather.
- Reliable connection. The converter should be connected to the cable using a special F-connector. This eliminates the possibility of problems occurring during operation. The cable must be insulated by no more than 10 mm. The connector must be tightened as much as possible.
Antenna adjustment process
The more accurately the dish is adjusted in terms of geographical position, the better the signal can be achieved at the output. The peculiarity of this procedure lies in two criteria: elevation angle and azimuth. These quantities are measured in degrees.
Please note that in the regulation process difficulties arise due to the fact that, in accordance with the region where the equipment is installed, indicators may differ and this is considered the norm.
For example, in Bryansk the angle = 29 degrees, and the azimuth = 178 degrees. This feature should not be overlooked. Check the standard mono characteristics on the official website of the Tricolor TV company.
Setting up Tricolor TV on a Samsung Smart TV
In order to properly configure the equipment, you must first familiarize yourself with the process.
In this case, the tuner model, antenna size, quality of synchronization equipment, as well as the TV model are of great importance.
How to set up Tricolor TV yourself if the settings on your Samsung Smart TV are lost? If any noise or ripples occur, please pay attention to ensure that the system is installed correctly. Measures must also be taken in the absence of channels that were previously broadcast.
To do this, debug the received signal level as follows:
- Enter the system menu in the “Signal Level” section and find the “Settings” option.
- Enter the password (standard value is 0000) and confirm the actions to be performed.
- Go to " System settings" and click on the "OK" button.
- Select “Antenna settings” and select the list of channels in accordance with the region of use: EUTEL SAT 36V or 36A.
- Find 2 scales that indicate the signal level. They must be filled to 70%. In this case, the work was carried out correctly and no changes need to be made. In this case, you should pay attention to mechanical damage and unfavorable factors.
After completing the above steps, you can proceed to more fine tuning systems. Please note that the receiver must be registered if this procedure was not carried out during the contract process. Otherwise, the equipment will not function.
Set up Tricolor TV yourself video
The CAM module or conditional access module is designed for viewing encrypted satellite or cable channels. It is inserted into the CI slot of the TV or receiver and decodes channels intended for paid viewing. Some receivers, for example Skyway Classic 4, have two CI+ slots, which allows you to watch simultaneously paid channels two different operators (for example Tricolor and NTV+). Today, many televisions are equipped with a tuner to receive satellite signal and have a slot for a CAM module. However, to view encrypted channels of Tricolor and NTV+ operators, the tuner and slot must meet the following characteristics: the tuner must support the DVB-S2 format, and the slot must support the CI+ format. Although most TV brands meet these requirements, you should carefully study the specifications before purchasing.
Since the modules are quite new development, many people face difficulties in initial setup and operation of CAM modules.
I’d like to start with the fact that the installation of modules on TVs from different manufacturers varies, and sometimes very seriously. LG proved to be the simplest and most loyal to the module. Here you just need to insert the module into the TV. Select a satellite dish in the menu and search for channels of a specific operator (Tricolor or NTV) and it will automatically and correctly find the channels of the selected operator.
But the most problematic from a setup point of view are Sony and Thomson TVs. You need to manually add the name of the satellite to them (remember that the satellite of the NTV-Plus and Tricolor operators is called Eutelsat W4 or Eutelsat 36E), as well as add transponder parameters (frequencies: 12226 for Tricolor and 12322 for NTV+) and converter local oscillator frequencies for both operators: upper and lower frequencies - 10750. Then you need to select “network search”, and the TV will find all channels of this operator. If there is no “network search” item in the menu, then all transponders will have to be added manually. Full list transponders are available on the operator’s website.
Now let's look at the most common problems and errors when working with the CAM module. The first and most common problem occurs when the TV initially initializes the module. When this happens, the TV sees the module, all information about the module and card is displayed in the menu, however, when the channel is turned on, it writes an error (the error code and explanation are different for different brands and TV models). In such a situation, you need to act as follows: turn off and turn on the TV. After turning on the TV, checking access rights between the TV and the module will begin again. In most cases, this method is more than effective. However, in some cases, for example, after a power surge or a sudden power outage, the settings of the module itself may be lost. Then the access rights check will not be carried out until the CAM module settings are reset to factory settings through the TV menu.
Now regarding the problems associated with software modules and TVs. Problems incorrect operation with modules are usually found on early model TVs. But, fortunately, these problems can often be eliminated by installing the latest software for your TV. As for the module software update, it occurs only from the satellite. In NTV+ modules, the update can be turned on forcibly by simply selecting the required item in the menu. In Tricolor-TV access modules, satellite updates are broadcast for a limited amount of time (1-2 months), if during this time you have not managed to update the software, you will have to wait for the next one.
Despite the simplicity of the design, the CAM module cannot be bent or disassembled, and it is especially not recommended to reprogram the module, with the exception of the official operator software. You also need to protect the module from moisture, and if you remove the module from the TV for a long time, make sure that its connector does not become clogged.
Despite the difficulty initial setup, CAM modules are an ideal alternative to satellite receivers. Thanks to their simple design, they are more reliable than a receiver, they do not need an outlet, a remote control and do not take up space.
Important! Since Tricolor and NTV+ use different encodings (NTV+ uses Viaccess, and Tricolor DRE-crypt), therefore NTV modules do not fit Tricolor cards and vice versa.
