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 farther the RTS is from you, the better the antenna you 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 a compact one 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).

In this publication we have omitted many nuances, but you can always leave your question or comment below.

The new product is a hundred times better than T2!!! details here

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 look for 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.

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 for DVB-T standard. It is currently considered obsolete. Therefore, it is gradually being replaced by a more advanced and high-quality one - T2.

HR officers, when registering a new employee, maintain documentation required by law. Among the papers that are not always required to be maintained, but have received widespread practical use, – employee’s personal card in T-2 form. Let's look at the instructions for filling out the card. You can also download the required form and sample T-2 form.

The applicant was interviewed, hired, an acceptance order was issued, and now he needs to go through the employment procedure. To do this, he needs to submit a set package of documents containing a lot of heterogeneous information.

To systematize this information for further accounting, the data is recorded on specially designed cards. Thus, information about all employees of the enterprise forms a file cabinet convenient for complete accounting.

The State Statistics Committee of the Russian Federation developed and approved in Resolution No. 1 of January 5, 2004 “On approval of unified forms of primary accounting documentation for recording labor and its payment” a form for filling out a personal card, called T-2.

On such a form it is convenient to reflect all significant information about the employee. If the enterprise considers it necessary, it can develop its own personnel data register on its basis.

Attention! An employee personal card is used for employees holding any position, both full-time and part-time. Personal cards can be conveniently placed in alphabetical order or distribute among structural units.

Is it possible to do without a personal card?

The above-mentioned Resolution in paragraph 2 regulates the mandatory maintenance of a personal card for each employee in all organizations. So at enterprises it is impossible to maintain an employee’s personal file without issuing personal cards.

As for individual entrepreneurs, it is not necessary for them to keep records on personal cards, but they also have the right to use the T-2 form.

Is it acceptable to maintain a personal card in electronic form?

Most document flow today is transferred from paper to electronic form, this reduces the likelihood of errors, relieves the workers responsible for this and reduces the number of errors. But not all documents can move from paper to exclusively digital form.

A personal card, in addition to entering certain data into it that allows existence in digitized form, provides for a mandatory visa for the employee in cases of changes to work book or issuing orders regarding:

  • bonuses;
  • disciplinary action;
  • going on vacation;
