TV), it's time to move on to the most important part - setting up digital television. How to setup digital television with your own hands? Read more about this.

I will show the example of a receiver Mystery MMP-71DT2, and like me, his software is completely identical to Rolson. If you have a different console, the principle will be the same, but you may have to look at the instructions.

How to connect everything

First, let's connect antenna to the receiver, and the receiver to the TV. Preferably through, so the image quality will be as clear as possible. If there is none, then through ordinary “tulips”, they usually come complete with the console. Look at the connectors in the instructions, you will get something like this. If the antenna has an amplifier, first turn it off, then you can always turn it on.

We launch all this equipment, set-top box, antenna, TV. Select the desired video input. If everything is done correctly, you will see start menu, like this:

How to set up digital television through “auto search”

By default, the set-top box is not configured for anything, and you yourself will need to catch the channels that are broadcast in your region. The easiest way is to run an auto search.

After launching the auto search, the set-top box will think for a long time, and should find something in the end. Important: since each one is transmitted at the same frequency, you will catch channels not one at a time, but in packs of ten at once. So be patient. If in analog TV channels are caught one at a time, then a few minutes may pass, and the set-top box will search. But then all 10-20 channels will pop up immediately.

After the search is over, the set-top box will prompt you to add the found channels. If you find all 20 pieces, congratulations, the process is complete!

How to check signal quality when setting up digital TV

Check that the signal is strong enough and everything is set up well.

It's very easy to do. You should have an INFO button on your set-top box; pressing it three times displays data on the quality and intensity of the signal. Look in the instructions, it may be called differently, but it will do the same thing:

The higher the signal, the better. Optimal - from 60% onwards

If both indicators are high, above 60%, everything is fine.

Check on both multiplexes, say, on Channel One and TNT.

Since different multiplexes are transmitted, you can catch the first one well, and the second one poorly, or vice versa. Your task is to rotate the antenna so that both are caught well.

But in practice it happens a little differently. For example, you can catch duplicates. When identical channels will occupy several places at once. It doesn't seem critical, but it's annoying. How to treat, I.

What to do if you caught duplicates or didn’t catch anything

The second option is when not everything was caught, or nothing was caught. Fine tuning and manual mode will help us here. We read about it. However, if you live in a city and there are towers near you, then in 90% of cases an auto search is enough for you.

Summarizing

As you can see, setting up dvb t2 digital television with your own hands is not a difficult task. And you certainly shouldn’t call a specialist who will do the same thing for you for a thousand rubles)

A package of channels broadcast on the same frequency is called multiplex. The number of channels in one multiplex can be from 1 to 10. The composition and number of channels is determined by the broadcaster, for example, the state.

There are now 3 multiplexes operating in Crimea so that they do not interfere with each other, as in analogue broadcasting, in each region broadcasting is carried out on different frequencies (CHANNELS).

DVB-T2 broadcasting in Russia, Ukraine and a number of other countries is carried out only in the decimeter frequency range - these are from 21 to 69 UHF (UHF) channels.

List of transmitters and frequency channels broadcasting in Crimea

Alupka – 21, 30, 43 (Lenin St. 64)

Alushta – 30, 32, 56 (Sergeeva-Tsensky St. 13)

Annovka (Belogorsky district) – 22, 32, 41

Belogorsk – 36, 37, 58 (Nizhnegorskaya St. 33a)

Dzhankoy – 24, 28, 30 (Kraynyaya St. 20)

Evpatoria – 23, 29, 32 (Razdolnenskoe highway 17)

Zavodskoye (Leninsky district) – 27, 26, 30

Kerch – 24, 41, 43 (Ordzhonikidze 144)

Kirovskoye (Chernomorsky district) – 21, 24, 40

Krasnoperekopsk – 24, 31, 43 (Tavricheskaya 105)

Parthenite – 26, 27, 37

Sevastopol – 30, 40, 47 (96 Pobeda Avenue)

Simferopol – 36, 37, 51 (Studencheskaya st. 14)

Sudak – 32, 49, 60 (Eastern Highway 33)

Feodosia – 26, 27, 30 (Simferopol highway 45a)

Foros - 21, 43, 44 (Cape Sarych)

Yalta – 26, 35, 37 (Yuzhnoberezhnoye Highway 55)

To receive DVB-T2 you need (preferably) an external decimeter television antenna without an amplifier with a modern cable with minimal signal attenuation in it. It is possible to use all-wave antennas. More often the antenna with good cable Receives a signal better than an antenna with an amplifier and an old cable. The use of the Soviet RK-75 cable is not allowed; such a cable was not designed to receive signals in the UHF range, so it has high signal attenuation.

It also happens that in the same locality, for example, Nikolaevka, Zuya, depending on the place of reception, reception can be carried out from different directions. So, on one side of the lowland in Zuya, the signal can only be received from Simferopol, and on the other side of the settlement only from Belogorsk.

If reception is carried out outside the line of sight of the direction to the transmitter, then the maximum signal is possible even in the opposite direction from the transmitter. In this case, the reflected signal is received. To determine the ideal orientation receiving antenna, select the manual channel search mode on your TV or set-top box, then enter one of the channels (preferably with a lower number from the list above) from the transmitter from which you want to receive the signal. Now you can see the scale of the received signal level and orient the antenna according to it.
Rotate the antenna 5-10° in any direction, count to 10 in your head, and record the signal strength. Rotate the antenna another 5-10° in the same direction
(further) and again count to 10 and record the level of the received signal. Thus, rotate the antenna a full 360° around its axis.
After this, you will see from your recordings from which direction the maximum signal is coming.

With the advent of the era of digital terrestrial television, many subscribers of cable and satellite networks began to increasingly think about connecting free broadcasting. Indeed, according to the Federal Target Program on the development of a digital broadcasting network, in open access will appear more than twenty television channels in excellent quality absolutely free. Which includes mandatory federal television channels.

The question arises - how to connect digital terrestrial television at home?

There's nothing complicated about it. To receive digital terrestrial television you will need any standard user equipment DVB-T2/MPEG-4 with mode support Multiple PLP and UHF antenna ( UHF) range. The antenna can be either collective (installed on the house, also called a common antenna) or individual, installed directly in your house or apartment. Depending on the distance to the transmitting center, you must select the desired antenna. They are divided into active (with an amplifier) ​​and passive. When purchasing an antenna, you can first check the power of the transmitting equipment installed in your region and the distance to the transmitting center. Based on the data obtained, select an antenna.

Approximate coverage radius of transmitting stations:
10 W– about 3 km;
50 W– about 5 km;
100 W– about 15 km;
500 W– about 25 km;
1 kW– about 30-35 km;
2 kW– about 35-40 km;
5 kW– about 40 – 50 km.

Let's move directly to the reception equipment. Three main groups can be distinguished: televisions with a built-in DVB-T2 tuner, set-top boxes of the same standard, and digital computer DVB-T2 tuners. Their settings are similar, if not the same.

Video: how to set up DVB-T2 digital terrestrial television

It is best to connect a digital terrestrial set-top box according to the manufacturer's instructions; it is practically impossible to make a mistake there. You can also watch the official video from RTRS:

A few recommendations, also from RTRS:
connect the antenna cable plug and, if necessary, the digital set-top box to the TV;
connect auto channel search - the TV will tune to the corresponding digital terrestrial channel, when tuning to a channel in manual mode it is necessary to indicate the channel frequency (for example, 35 TV channel, 685 MHz);
Most digital TVs (and set-top boxes) have a built-in signal level and quality indicator, which will allow you to optimally configure your antenna to receive a digital terrestrial signal (see the operating instructions for the TV).

On TVs with a built-in DVB-T2 tuner, all manipulations are carried out through the TV menu. There shouldn't be any difficulties there either.

We recommend updating your software user equipment to the most current. This can be done in specialized services, or yourself (if you are confident in your abilities). The software can usually be downloaded from the manufacturer's official websites.

When a new level of data transmission quality appeared, the DVB-T2 digital television network was launched. Digital television gives high quality pictures and excellent transmission signal. But to set up a connection to this network, you need to have the necessary knowledge, choose the right receiver and configure it well.

How to connect the T2 module and configure it will be described below.

How to connect a T2 set-top box to a TV

The T2 tuner is quite easy to connect to your TV. If you have experience connecting players, antennas and other devices to your TV, then connecting the receiver will not be difficult.

We connect the antenna to the receiver, and from it we connect the wires to the TV. This can be done using standard HDMI, tulip or SCART cables. The most important thing is that you don’t have to pay to call a specialist. However, if the master can connect the set-top box to the TV for free, then it’s worth leaving the matter to him.

How to connect DVB-T2 to a TV without a set-top box

To connect your TV directly to the DVB-T2 network without purchasing a receiver, you can immediately purchase a TV with a built-in DVB-T2 tuner. This saves space, time and costs. Among other things, you can control T2 channels with one TV remote control, while the receiver will have two remote controls.

Today, almost all LCD TVs have a built-in tuner, which makes connection easier. Simply insert the antenna into the desired socket.

How to set up DVB-T2 using a receiver

After installing and connecting the receiver, you need to set up the television. To do this, follow simple steps:

• We go to the console menu.
• Click “Quick setup”.
• If the default is another country, then set it to “Russia”.
• Then you must select the “DVB T2” standard. It often appears in the DVB T/ DVB T2 standard field, which leads to the receiver looking for DVB T quality channels, and only then DVB T2. We need DVB T2 and its excellent quality.
• Then click “Auto Configuration” and everything will be done automatically.
• After finding the channels, you can also watch detailed information by connection quality by clicking the “Info” button.

This way you can set the receiver to receive all the right channels. But the setup does not always go smoothly. Sometimes problems arise.

What to do if DVB T2 setup does not occur

There are several options why the setup does not occur:

• The problem is in the receiver;
• The problem is in the antenna;
• The problem is with the TV.

First, try setting up using a different antenna. If it helps, then the problem is in the antenna, and if not, then the receiver is to blame.

If the antenna is to blame, then only a specialist can help. If the receiver, then several options are possible. Firstly, the receiver may have incorrect firmware. Then you need to reflash the console. To do this, go to the manufacturer’s website, download the new firmware, write it to a flash drive and insert it into the receiver. It will update itself and the problem will be resolved.

If updating the firmware does not help, then the problem is most likely in the electronics. In this case, it is better to return the set-top box for service or replace it under warranty.

You can also check the TV itself. To do this, use the set-top box on another TV, and if it works, then the problem may be in the TV settings. In this case, you should contact the manufacturer. There they will be able to tell you how to correctly set the TV settings to connect the receiver.

How to choose a set-top box for DVB-T2

The choice among receivers is quite large. Here are the most popular receivers that are recommended to buy:

• Trimax TR-2012HD
• Strong SRT-8500
• Strong SRT-8502
• Thomson THT702
• Trimax TR-2012HD PVR (TR-2013HD PVR)

Their price starts from 1000 rubles and above, depending on the functions. More expensive receivers have more fine-tuning options, a better reception signal, more different inputs for connecting additional devices, and they also work faster. Compared to satellite set-top boxes, the DVB-T2 receiver is inexpensive.

You can also go to any hardware store and there, on the spot, choose a new receiver after consulting with a specialist.

The introduction of terrestrial digital television of the DVB-T2 standard on the territory of Ukraine has made it possible to significantly expand the areas of reliable reception of the signal from television towers, in comparison with the analog signal. Also, the ease of setup and installation of T2 did their job; they became much more popular than satellite television with MFA channels.

Let's move on to the practical side and talk about the direct installation of all the equipment necessary to receive DVB-T2. Many modern TVs are already equipped with an integrated DVB-T2 receiver; in this case, it is enough to find out the position of the repeater, point the antenna at it and scan the available channels using the TV. In the case of a simple TV, installation and connection of T2 occurs somewhat differently, we will discuss it now. To install T2 in the standard version you will need:

1. Digital DVB-T2 receiver , the form factor you need, for example for hidden installation with a remote IR sensor, etc. The choice is now huge, there is practically no significant difference, everyone can choose for their needs. Practice shows that it is worth purchasing from a reliable store with a guarantee; we suggest you buy a receiver from our partners, who will provide you with service, warranty and repairs.

   Buy MINI DVB-T2 digital set-top box with delivery from China

1. UHF antenna , in practice, so-called “Polish antennas” are often used, you can also purchase an antenna manufactured by Konvalia, Margoon, etc., you just have to take into account that the antenna must be taken with a gain margin, so as to predict how the signal will be received in a particular case hard to say. It is also desirable that it contains an amplification board that can receive power from both from and from an external power supply.
2. Cable, regular TV , almost any will do, but it’s better to take one with a braid filling percentage of 50% or more.
3. RCA or HDMI cable for connecting the receiver to the TV , may be included or must be purchased separately.

Connecting digital T2 using the example of the World-Vision T38 receiver

First you need to install the antenna, if it has not been installed before. It’s probably stupid to advise anything here, I’ll just say that follow the manufacturer’s recommendations, and at least first turn it in the required direction. You can find out which direction to point the antenna by looking at neighboring antennas or calculate the direction, for example, using Google or Yandex maps.

Connecting a T2 digital receiver to an antenna will also not cause much difficulty; the manufacturer and standardization make this process simple and it’s quite difficult to make a mistake.

When connecting, it is difficult to confuse something, the RCA cable is easy to connect, you just need to follow the color on the plug and on the socket, yellow to yellow, white to white, red to red. The antenna connector also will not allow you to connect other plugs to it; in this receiver model it is located on the left edge. It is also possible to connect via HDMI, everything is simple here, the COAX connector is used to connect a digital audio amplifier and is practically not used in standard configurations.

After all the cords are in place, we connect the last one - the power supply connector, for this model it is located on the side panel.

At this point, the connection of the T2 receiver is almost complete. Next, you need to turn on the TV and receiver. By pressing the “AV-TV” switch button on the TV remote control, we switch from the antenna socket to the “tulips”; on newer TVs, we select the input to which the receiver is connected. The following should appear on the screen:

The receiver will restart and a menu will appear with searching for channels and setting the initial parameters of the receiver:

We select the parameters and click “Auto search”, the receiver will scan and display the found channels.

If not all channels are found or there are none at all, adjust the antenna and repeat the search from the receiver menu until the number of channels and quality of reception satisfies you. Enjoy watching!

Previously, scientists, specialists and ordinary people believed that with the advent of the Internet and various gadgets differing in price, form factor and “filling”, television would quickly leave society. But unexpectedly for everyone, new developments and implementations began to appear in this area, resulting in the emergence of digital broadcasting. Before him, people used analog television. Tuners for catching such a signal are available in every old-style “screen”. In order to watch digital television, you need to purchase a new device with a built-in transmitter. If this is not possible, any T2 tuner will come to the rescue. It is cheap and small in size. In this article we will look at the most suitable devices that consumers highlight. All conclusions are drawn based on their feedback.

Many people wonder: what is better than digital television and what are its advantages when compared with analogue? The fact is that more modern technology for transmitting sound and pictures results in only high-quality images on the screen, and also allows you to protect the signal. The latter is transmitted not continuously, but in intermittent parts. Another important detail is this: modern TVs will not be able to reveal their potential to the viewer when using analogue broadcasting. Even if the signal is transmitted over several thousand kilometers, digital communication will still “deliver” the clearest picture and loudest sound. Happy owners modern technologies will be able to watch more TV channels. Those who purchased the T2 tuner can also use additional functions- teletext, recording on a flash drive, stopping the broadcast, and so on.

Nowadays the digital signal is transmitted through cable, terrestrial or satellite broadcasting. Most consumers prefer to purchase a tuner that allows them to use the second type of television. All of them previously worked on the DVB-T standard. He is at this moment considered obsolete. Therefore, it is gradually being replaced by a more advanced and high-quality one - T2.

World Vision T38

The first model described works on the DVB-T2 standard. Tuner World Vision gives maximum resolution in 1080p quality. Consumer reviews allow us to draw the following conclusions: all channels are switched at tremendous speed, the signal is received well, and the device itself goes into operating mode quickly. What other advantages does the tuner have? It is equipped with options for teletext, TV guide, and broadcast recording. Consumers also note the presence of a control panel, and they are also pleased that the device supports working with external media.

What disadvantages do users notice? The T2 tuner does not have a display, but many justify this due to the low price.

World Vision T55D

This tuner can be called practically the best, if you consider the ratio of quality and cost. It works with terrestrial television and has many useful functions.

If you wish, you can always use your own memory card or flash drive and open any file for viewing (listening). Consumer reviews confirm that the tuner works quickly, without failures, and has good sound performance. A movie show will be 100% successful only when it receives an AC3 quality audio track. This is the sound mode the device operates with.

Users note that the display is a separate advantage of the model. It contains all available information. From the outside it looks nice. The T2 tuner itself has very small dimensions, so there is always a place for it. Users note the good packaging: a small remote control is supplied, which is as pleasant and convenient to use as possible.

Romsat T2050

This T2 TV tuner is designed for use only by domestic users, so it has special requirements. The model belongs to the budget class and works with terrestrial television.

What do users who use this receiver consider as advantages? It is equipped with a function quick launch, which means the following: the device will turn on in less than 10 seconds. The body contains the necessary buttons, which are installed quite conveniently, and this is confirmed by many buyers. That is, these keys allow you to work with the receiver even when the batteries on the control panel are low. If desired, you can use a special port into which a regular USB cable is connected. Consumers find this solution incredibly good because it allows them to recharge their phones and other gadgets.

Romsat T2070

You can always watch a movie from an external storage device. Buyers also note a special option that allows them to consume less electricity. They also talk about the presence of channel search and fairly easy firmware updates. However, it is worth considering that this model sells much more expensive than all the others.

BBK SMP240HDT2

Another interesting tuner T2, whose channels are shown in maximum resolution - 1080p. The device is small in size. Reviews say that the body is made of metal, so the device is of quite high quality. Its weight was 400 g. There is a display on which all information is displayed. Consumers confirm that the text on it is legible and does not blur. You can use the tuner in any room, because it will fit even in the smallest place. The device does not overheat and works well and stably with memory cards and flash drives.

What else do consumers like about this device? They note that it is possible to record the broadcast and stop its broadcast. The signal is clear, the image is high quality. Sometimes there are complaints that the instructions are printed in small font, but the menu is clear, so often this book with explanations does not become necessary. One more fact should be noted. Many consumers who own Toshiba TVs can control the “screen” itself using the receiver’s original remote control. Therefore, you need to be careful not to activate unnecessary functions.

If you start to lose channels in the channel list, this may mean that your reception signal has deteriorated and you need to either replace the antenna with a better one or find reliable reception using your antenna, how to find reliable reception is described above, if using your antenna you cannot If you can achieve a good signal, then buy an external antenna, for example from this list.

If you used to show a channel, but now it says that the channel is paid, then you need to switch the tuner to the first channel, it should show and leave it on for about 4-5 hours. After this, all channels should start showing, if this does not help, then call 0800508050 to explain that the channels have stopped showing and dictate your activation code, which is indicated on the box from the tuner. It is very difficult to get through but still possible. And you can also call 0800606894 or 0445035533 regarding this problem

After automatic update tuner firmware new version Reset the firmware to factory settings and rescan the channels again.

Allowing you to watch digital television. Digital TV has many more advantages than regular TV, which is why many people are switching to it. And, of course, you need to start by choosing a receiver. In this case, it is necessary to take into account the manufacturer’s brand, functionality, quality and, of course, price. Finally, once you have purchased a digital receiver, you need to prepare it for use. But how to do that? In this article you will learn how to connect and configure DVB-T2 digital television. Let's understand the issue together.

If you want to know how to set up a TV set-top box, then this article is for you

The first step is to connect all the elements together. There is nothing difficult about this, see for yourself. Connect the antenna to the receiver, and the receiver itself to the TV. That's it - ready! It is recommended to connect the set-top box via an HDMI cable, of course, provided that the devices have the appropriate inputs and connectors. If HDMI is not supported, connect via regular tulips. Any model of the console comes with instructions that clearly show what needs to be connected to what.

Let's start connecting the device

Please note that the setup process is the same for all models of digital receivers, so it does not matter what brand of set-top box you have. Of course, the window design and some menu section names may differ slightly, however general essence does not change.

First, choose a connection method

After connecting the device, turn on the TV and set-top box. On the TV you need to select video input to go to the receiver menu. If everything was done correctly, then on the screen you will see a welcome window in which you will need to select the language, region, mode and image format, as well as the search mode. Install required parameters using the console remote control. You don't have to change the settings and leave them as default. Click "OK" to move to the next window.

The first dialog box on the screen

If in the “Search mode” section there is “DVB-T + DVB-T2”, then the receiver will immediately find all the channels available for your region on its own. But this method will only work if you already have a working antenna pointed in the desired direction. Once the auto search is complete, you can close the menu and enjoy watching. Other users need to perform antenna positioning. There is nothing complicated about this, all you need is to make a few settings in the receiver menu.

The list of available channels is loaded manually or automatically

If you didn’t have an antenna before and it only appeared now, together with the DVB-T2 set-top box, while in the welcome window, press the button to call up the menu on your remote control. Go to the “DVBT Setup” section and select “Channel Search”. In the window that opens, set “Search Mode”. Here you can set both “by channel” and “by frequency”. There is no big difference here - choose what you like best. Next, set the search band to “UHF”.

To simplify the channel search process, go to a special website with information on frequency channels for your specific city. In principle, it is not necessary to do this; you can do without it, but this approach will make the setup process easier and faster. Select the desired value in the “Frequency channel” item. If the direction was chosen correctly, then after a couple of seconds you will see the “Signal Intensity” and “Signal Quality” scales filled in at the bottom of the window. If the scale level is good, then click “Search”. After this, the receiver will perform tuning in the specified frequency channel.

If you do not know the desired direction of the antenna, take it and rotate it smoothly, watching the intensity and quality scales. Once they are filled to an acceptable level, attach the antenna and search. As soon as

In a number of previous posts I have already talked about it, there is no point in repeating it again, for those who are interested, you can read the first publications at the link above.

Today’s note will be aimed primarily at those who have not yet connected to the network, but want to do so, and do not have sufficient knowledge.

We will try to give basic knowledge and concepts of what is needed in order to use the Ukrainian national digital network DVB-T2.

Find the nearest RTS

First of all, you need to find the nearest station, or more precisely, its location. To do this, you need to go to the official website in the section “How to receive a digital television signal”, then click on the link “Nearest transmitter” (“Nearest transmitter”). In the table presented, find your region, as well as your (any nearby) city.

In our case, this is the Transcarpathian region, transmitters in the cities of Mukachevo and Svalyava.

Due to the peculiarities of the landscape, reception here is possible from both RTS: to the Mukachevo RTS - 4 km, to Svalyavskaya - about 20 km, in both cases there is direct visibility.

Selecting an on-air receiver (receiver)

Currently, 5 receivers can officially work with the TVB-T2 network in Ukraine:

1. Trimax TR-2012HD
2. Strong SRT-8500
3. Trimax TR-2012HD PVR (TR-2013HD PVR)

Trimax TR-2012HD was my first receiver. However, I did not like both the plastic case and the power supply from the external power supply. It was replaced by the Strong SRT-8500. In general, no difference in reception quality was noticed; these devices have equal parameters.

The Strong SRT-8502 has newer hardware than the previous two receivers. Thomson THT702, in terms of hardware, is a complete analogue of the Strong SRT-8502, with the exception of the display and SCART support.

Trimax TR-2012HD PVR has not yet been seen in retail sales on the Ukrainian market. This receiver has a PVR function and can record broadcasts to an external storage device.

You can also purchase a CAM module for your TV if it has a CI+ slot.

In any case, the choice of receiver is entirely individual.

Antenna selection for DVB-T2

The distance to the RTS will determine which antenna you will need to buy. The further RTS is from you, the better antenna will have to buy.

There is a lot of debate about which antenna to use? Be that as it may, It is not recommended to use indoor antennas I, because their cost is the same as that of external antennas, but they do not always provide signal reception from all four multiplexes.

External antennas also come in different types and designs, both compact and full-size.

Remember! DVB-T2 does not require special antennas with the same marking, the digital signal is perfectly received by conventional decimeter antennas. All the talk about “special” antennas is, to a large extent, a marketing ploy to sell more expensive antennas.

Exception from of this rule make up the so-called “Polish” antennas, with a lattice. In order for this antenna to be able to properly receive a digital signal, it is necessary to replace the usual amplifier with a balancer (by the way, the Poles already have ready-made solutions, this is the LNA-xxx line). It is highly desirable that the symmetrizer cuts off everything except the decimeter range (UHF).

Personally, the full-sized UHF antenna did not suit me, so my choice fell on the compact external antenna Strong SRT 15 ANT ECO.

Strong SRT 15 ANT ECO was purchased for a number of reasons, namely:

• installation was planned inside the balcony, so the antenna should be compact
• Power to the amplifier can be supplied directly from the receiver, thus eliminating the need for a power supply
• reception is carried out from an RTS located at a distance of 4 km in line of sight, so there should be no problems

As subsequent experiments showed, the antenna is quite capable of receiving a signal from the Svalyava RTS, located at a distance of about 20 km.

The Strong SRT 15 ANT ECO kit contains everything you need for work:

• antenna bracket
• a set of dowels for attaching the bracket to the wall
• set of brackets for attaching the bracket to the pipe
• power supply with injector

I didn’t like the power injector itself at all, its ergonomics are poor, and it also uses the simplest coaxial cable of extremely small diameter (it can be torn off by accident).

What if there are several TVs?

Please note that each TV needs its own separate receiver (terrestrial receiver) or CI+ CAM module.

In order not to use several antennas, you can install a special divider - a splitter. You can buy it at any radio store, don’t skimp, the more expensive the splitter, the less the loss of signal level.

The OUT connectors on the splitter must be at least as many as the number of connected devices. The antenna must be connected to the IN connector.

If your antenna does not need power, simply connect the antenna to IN and the cables from the receivers to OUT.

However, if your antenna requires power supply, you will have to use a power injector, connecting it in series after the IN connector.

Cable and accessories

Measure and buy the required quantity in advance. coaxial cable(75 Ohm), do not forget to add a couple of meters in reserve, the excess can always be cut off. I used S660 cable for these purposes.

When working with cables, special “accessories” are used, and we’ll talk about them.

The basis is an F-connector, wound onto a pre-cut cable. Connectors come in different diameters, in this case, RG-6 are used, the size depends on the diameter of the coaxial cable. When purchasing coaxial cable, ask which one to use.

The F-connector is designed to connect two F-connectors to each other, for example, when you need to extend the cable.

Antenna installation

It is advisable to install the antenna so that visibility to the tower is as good as possible, with a minimum of obstacles.

If you are installing an antenna on the roof, follow safety precautions!

Also, do not forget that an antenna on the roof is at risk of being struck by lightning, so the mast on which the antenna is mounted must have appropriate protection (lightning rod, lightning protection/lightning protection).

In my case, the antenna was mounted on the wall inside the balcony, in order to avoid the influence of precipitation on the antenna, as well as to protect it from strong winds (in strong winds, the antenna may sway, which leads to the picture “falling out”).

It often happens that simply mounting an antenna and turning it onto a tower is not enough. It is recommended to connect the antenna to the receiver and change its position until the signal level and quality reach the maximum values.

Unfortunately, in my case there is interference between the signals of two RTS, the first two multiplexes of which operate at the same frequency. For this reason, achieve high levels signal quality and level failed. However, this did not affect the final image quality in any way.

If you live near a border, there is a chance that the receiver will receive the signal from neighboring countries (if it is digital).
