How to connect cable TV for free. Free digital TV connection to cable TV without connection

To connect the TV to a cable network or digital TV antenna, you need to purchase a special TV cable and put F-plugs on its ends.

With an illiterate solution to this problem, the TV, when receiving an analog signal, may work unstable or with interference, and a digital one - the image and sound may disappear due to signal loss in the cable and its connection points.

The high-frequency current of a television signal flows according to a different law. Everyone knows how linen is wrung out in the centrifuge of a washing machine: the higher the revolutions, the stronger the centrifugal force acts on the water, and it is better removed from the linen, the linen becomes drier. On their own bodies, many in childhood experienced the action of centrifugal force while riding on merry-go-rounds.

The high-frequency current of the television signal flows in the same way in the antenna cable. The higher the frequency, the closer it flows to the surface of the conductor. The skin effect appears. If we take, for example, a copper wire with a diameter of 10 mm and a tube of the same diameter made of copper with a wall thickness of 1 mm, then a current with a frequency of 1000 MHz will flow through them with the same losses!

Therefore, in antenna cables used for military and space equipment, in order to reduce signal losses (attenuation), the central core and cable sheath are often covered with a thin layer of silver and even gold. This is a very expensive pleasure, and such cables are not used in everyday life.

Due to the small size of the television signal in the antenna cable and its high frequency, it is not possible to determine its presence in the cable, and even more so to carry out measurements at home without specialized expensive devices. Only connecting the antenna cable to the TV will allow you to determine the presence and quality of the TV signal.

TV cable marking

The most widespread on the market are antenna coaxial cables from different manufacturers with a characteristic impedance of 75 Ohm brands RG 6U, SAT 50, SAT 703B and DG 113, which can be successfully used to receive analog and digital television signals up to transmission from a satellite antenna with a frequency of up to 2, 15 GHz. The brands are listed in ascending order of the quality of the antenna cable - reducing signal loss (attenuation) during transmission. Marking (designation) must be applied to the sheath of the antenna cable along its entire length every meter with a digital meter mark.

This antenna cable mark indicates the following:

CABLETECH is a manufacturing company CABLETECH (China).
RG 6U / 48 - cable brand.
HIGH QUALITY COAXIAL CABLE - high quality coaxial cable.
75 OHM is a characteristic impedance of 75 ohms.
055M - meter mark, with each meter the mark changes by 1.

How to choose an antenna TV cable

The antenna cable sheath must be marked as shown above. The antenna cable must have a wave impedance of 75 Ohm (all TVs and switching devices - amplifiers, splitters, set-top boxes for receiving digital DVB-T2 channels are designed for this resistance). The outer diameter of the antenna cable sheath must be at least 6 mm. Center conductor and braided shield made of electrical copper. Antenna cables of the SAT 703B and DG 113 brands meet these requirements. In the RG 6U cable, the central core is steel, galvanized with copper, a screen made of aluminum foil and braid of copper alloy, this is a budget option.

It is impossible to describe all the television cables on the market, but the information provided is quite enough for making the right choice on your own.

How to install the antenna plug on the cable

There is no need to invite specialists in order to connect the TV to the antenna cable. This work can be done by each home craftsman independently with the help of an improvised tool, if he follows the instructions below.

The voltage of an analog or digital television signal in an antenna cable is millionths of a volt, so an antenna cable connected to a cable network or other TV is not dangerous to humans. You can safely cut the cable without disconnecting its other end from the splitter or TV. Even when cutting the cable, an accidental short circuit between the center conductor and the shielding braid is not dangerous.

How to install an F-plug to the antenna cable

The plugs are sold in three sizes for different antenna cable diameters. When purchasing, make sure that the F-plug matches your TV aerial cable. This type of plug is suitable for analogue, digital TV signal and satellite antenna signal.

You can screw the F-plug onto the cable by cutting it in two ways, with a twist of the shielding braid, in the diagram on the left side, and without wrapping it, in the diagram on the right, in accordance with the breakdown diagram below.

The F-plug will hold more reliably in the event of a twist of the shielding braid, but if you cannot wind it, then you can use the second method.

To cut the television cable, by slightly pressing the knife, so as not to damage the shielding braid of the antenna cable, its outer sheath is cut lengthwise by several centimeters.

After the cut of the shell, it is folded to the side and cut off at the beginning of the cut.

Unfastened aluminum foil and copper braid. The shield in the antenna cables comes in three versions: one copper braid, aluminum foil and on top of it a copper braid (as in my case), only aluminum foil.

Many do not know that to impart mechanical strength the foil is coated on the inside with polyethylene. It is impossible to clean the plastic. If you screw the plug onto the inside of the foil of the antenna cable, then there will be no contact, or it will be very bad. To prevent this from happening, you need to bend half of the folded foil back, then the conductive side will be outside.

There are situations when the diameter of the hole of the female thread of the F plug is larger than the diameter of the antenna cable. In this case, before winding up the foil, wind several layers of insulating tape on the antenna cable to adjust the size of the cable. Then do everything as described. The insulation is removed from the central core according to the technology described in the article "Preparing wires for installation".

The F plug "wrapping on the cable" is screwed onto the foil.

The central core of the antenna cable is bite off so that about 2-3 mm remains.

The second half of the plug is screwed on until it stops, and the F-plug is ready for use.

There are times when, after inserting the antenna plug into the TV socket, the cable has to be bent at right angles or it is impossible to install the TV close to the wall due to the interfering antenna cable. In this case, you can use the F-socket - angle plug.

The difference between the two described plugs is only in their shape. The technology for installing straight and angled plugs on the TV cable is the same.

How to install an old plug on the antenna cable

Before the advent of antenna F-plugs, plugs of a different design were used, which also did not require soldering, but were connected to the antenna cable according to their own technology.

Before proceeding with the installation of the plug on the antenna cable, you need to hold it by the metal part and unscrew the plastic case by rotating it counterclockwise. Then put the body on the cable, so as not to forget.

The next step is to prepare the antenna cable for installation. To do this, with a knife blade, you need to cut through its outer shell to a length of about a centimeter with light pressure. Then remove the casing and cut the shielding braid by 5 mm. Remove five millimeters of insulation from the center conductor. The antenna cable is now ready to be plugged into the plug.

When threading the cable into the plug, it is necessary to exclude the contact of the conductors of the braid of the fixing of the central core. Pliers crimp the antenna plug petals around the shielding winding. A lot of effort should not be made. The main thing is to have a reliable contact.

The last step is to screw the plastic onto the metal part of the plug and insert the plug into the TV socket.

Where to insert the antenna cable on the TV

After the connector is installed on the cable, it can be connected to the TV. The jack for connecting the TV to an antenna or cable network is usually located on the back of the TV and is marked next to it in the form of the abbreviated inscription "ANT".

In the photo, on the right side of it you can see the socket for connecting the antenna. The socket is special, standard and differs from all other connectors and sockets available on the commutation panel. Therefore, it is physically impossible to insert the antenna plug into another socket by mistake. Any of the connectors, the installation of which is discussed in the article above, is well inserted into the TV jack.

In modern TVs for receiving a television signal, two connectors are installed for connecting an antenna: - cable (digital) television and a satellite antenna.

One, denoted RF (ANT 1 IN), is designed to connect a digital television antenna or cable network, this is installed on all TV models, both old and modern. The second began to be installed recently, LNB (ANT 2 IN with external thread) is designed to connect a satellite dish.

If the TV supports the DVB-S2 standard, then the satellite dish can be connected without a receiver, directly to the LNB connector. To receive digital television channels from a television tower to an individual antenna, the television must support the DVB-T2 standard. Therefore, when buying a TV, you need to pay special attention to the list of broadcasting standards that it supports.

For the TV to receive a signal from a specified connector in its Menu, you need to select the signal source Antenna or Satellite TV and perform automatic or manual channel tuning.

How to connect an antenna cable to a TV without a plug

In life, there are situations that you urgently need to connect an antenna cable to the TV, but there is no plug at hand. You can temporarily connect the antenna cable without a plug. To do this, you must first remove the upper sheath to a length of 5 cm, develop and unscrew the shielding braid, remove the insulation from the central core of the cable and bend the core itself into a loop. The width of the tab should be slightly larger than the hole in the center slot of the connector.

If the connector on the TV is as in the photo, then an insulating tube must be put on the center contact. Next, a loop is inserted into the center contact, and the shielding braid is tucked into the connector with a screwdriver blade. The main thing is to prevent the wires of the shielding braid from touching the central core of the cable.

If the braid is aluminum, then you can insert it into the television connector and fill the empty space with thin copper wires taken from any stranded copper wire. To prevent the wire from falling out of the TV connector, you can fix it with several toothpicks or matches. Such an improvised connector will serve quite reliably.

How to connect an antenna cable to a crab without a plug

The cable is prepared in the same way as for putting on the F-plug, the central core is inserted into the F-connector of the crab, and the screen is put on the protruding part of the crab connector and fixed with any wire or clamp. As a last resort, you can fix the cable by tightly winding several layers of electrical tape. It will work just as well as with an F-connection.

If you use a clamp with a screw crimping device, then the quality and reliability of the connection will be no worse than with the F-connector.

Which antenna plug is better

The answer is simple: the best of the three TV coaxial cable plugs reviewed is the F-plug. It is easy to notice in the photographs above without even having any special knowledge.

As you can see, the old-style antenna plug and the Soviet antenna plug have a small section of the central core of the cable that is not covered with a shielding braid. This disturbs the uniformity of the wave impedance, which leads to insignificant losses of the television signal.

The F-connector does not have an exposed antenna cable center conductor. Another advantage of the antenna F-connector is the ease of installation. With a minimal set of standard tools, without skills, almost anyone can correctly put the antenna F-plug on the cable.

How to connect multiple TVs
to the cable network or antenna

Connecting several TVs to a cable network or antenna that transmits an analog or digital TV signal is no more difficult than one, except that you have to put more than one F-plug on the cable, but several. For this, there are TV signal splitters, popularly called "crab", they are also called "splitter", "splitter" or "divider".

The crab has one connector for connecting a signal from an antenna or a splitter at the entrance, marked IN (input), and several connectors for connecting TVs, marked OUT (output). If there is no marking, then usually the entrance is at the crab on one side of the body, and the outputs in a row are on the opposite. All outputs for the crab to work properly must be connected to TVs.

If there are two outputs, then to two televisions, if there are three outputs, then to three, and so on. There should be no free connectors on the crab. If an unconnected output remains, then it must be loaded with a 75 Ohm resistor. Or, as they say, put a plug. But at the same time, a part of the useful signal will be lost; it is better to use a crab, in which the number of taps is equal to the number of connected TVs.

The design of the splitter is a thin-walled case made of silumin or brass, in which, at the same time, connectors for connecting F-plugs are made. The divider circuit is usually transformer, one turn of enameled wire with a diameter of 0.2-0.4 mm, threaded through ferrite rings or tubes. Installation of transformers is carried out in a hinged way. The body is sealed with a metal cover and sealed or fixed with glue.

Lugs are provided for attaching the crab to the wall. The body also has a thread with a screw for grounding, although it is not clear where to get the ground wire in the vast majority of apartments. Usually they are not grounded, therefore, on some channels, interference from wires of electrical wiring, the Internet, a telephone, passing next to a television cable, is possible. Whenever possible, such proximity should be avoided when laying the cable. For a more detailed acquaintance with the design and electrical circuit of the crab, you can visit the page "How to connect an antenna television amplifier to a power supply".

If there is a desire, then a crab, which is not inferior in technical parameters to expensive samples of well-known companies, can be made with your own hands.

When connecting TVs through a crab, the level of the TV signal reaching each TV connected to it, regardless of whether the TV is working or not, will decrease due to losses in the crab and the additional cable length. When two TVs are connected - by 30%, three - by 60%, four - by 90%, and if the analog or digital TV signal coming to the crab is already weak, then the image quality on all connected TVs can be significantly reduced. Usually the signal in cable TV is strong enough, and its level is enough for normal operation of all TVs connected to the crab.

How to connect the antenna cable
to the television signal highway at the entrance of the house

Usually, a television cable is laid along the roof of a house and then, after amplification with a trunk amplifier, branches out along the entrances of the house. Since there are different packages of television programs, at the entrance to the entrance, the cable is branched using a filter crab, which is a crab with two outputs. From one output, the signal comes out unchanged, and from the second output it is cut by a high frequency filter. This limits the ability to watch all TV channels for those who buy cheaper social packages. Therefore, two cables run down the entrances.

If you inspect the walls in your entrance, you will definitely find a metal box on each floor, from which television antenna cables go to the apartments. In modern houses, boxes are no longer installed, but everything is placed in wall cabinets, in which case you will see a metal door with a lock. Subscriber taps of the television signal are placed in these boxes. If you remove the lid from the box or open the cabinet door, you will see something like this. In the photo on the left there is a coupler for subscribers of a full package of television programs, and on the right for subscribers of a social package.

The taps must be secured and grounded by the rules, but cable men do not do this to simplify the work. Perhaps this is better, because if the grounding is of poor quality, then such grounding can create interference.

Taps installed in junction boxes do not fundamentally differ from crabs for connecting several TVs, but they work a little differently. One F connector is used to connect the cable coming from the IN line. The second OUT is used to transmit the signal to the next coupler on the floor below. The rest of the F connectors TAP (TAP), there can be from one to five, are intended for connecting subscribers, that is, for connecting television cables going to apartments.

There should be no subscriber connectors not connected. In case of disconnection of one subscriber, for example, for non-payment, it is allowed to install an F-connector with a load resistance of 75 Ohm instead of a cable. If you need to connect a new subscriber to the cable television network, then the splitter for two subscribers, as in this example, is replaced with a three-connector.

Thus, to connect the TV to a cable network, a piece of a television cable of the required length with antenna F-connectors installed at the ends is enough. One F-connector of the antenna cable is connected to the subscriber coupler in the entrance, and the second to the TV.

What is the difference between a crab and a coupler

In a crab, the power of an incoming TV signal is usually divided equally between all connected TVs. Unlike a crab, in a coupler, subscribers are given only a small part of the signal power supplied to the input, about 6 dB.

To ensure a sufficient level of the television signal arriving at the subscribers, the signal to the input of the coupler is fed from the main power amplifier, depending on the number of connected subscribers. Collectively, all taps installed in one entryway represent a crab with multiple branches.

TV signal amplifier

If, after installing the crab, the image becomes unsatisfactory, then you will have to additionally put a TV amplifier in front of it. The amplifier is arranged in the same way as the crab, but in its case there are additionally installed active elements (transistors or microcircuit) that amplify the video signal. The TV amplifier will additionally require a mains supply voltage, and this must be taken into account when choosing a place for its installation.

The TV amplifier must be installed as close as possible to the TV signal source, since the amplifier amplifies noise along with the useful TV signal. The photo shows the TERRA HA123 television amplifier, designed to work in a home television network with one output, with the ability to adjust the gain from 8 to 28 dB. If possible, then the ideal option is to place the amplifier directly in the box of the main signal splitter for the apartments.

If the televisions are located not far from the television amplifier, then it is more expedient to install only one television signal amplifier with several outputs instead of the television amplifier and the crab. For example, a television amplifier-splitter model Televes 5523 (Spain), which has a gain of 16 dB and five outputs, which makes it possible to connect up to 5 TVs to it.

If the signal is taken from an individual antenna, then there are amplifiers that are designed to be installed directly on the antenna instead of a matching loop. Antenna amplifiers provide high-quality reception at a distance from the transmitting antenna up to 100 km.

The antenna amplifier, depending on the signal level at the antenna installation point, must be selected according to the gain for each specific case. The supply voltage for these amplifiers is supplied via a coaxial cable.

Anti-interference
installation of a ferrite ring on the antenna cable

Sometimes, after connecting to cable TV or the antenna of several TVs using a crab, some channels may experience interference in the form of chaotically appearing white or black dots, traveling waves or a grid across the screen. When receiving digital TV, the picture and sound may intermittently drop out or be completely absent.

This may be due to a high frequency interference signal from a local oscillator, parallel connected TVs, or other sources of interference at the antenna input of the TV. The penetration of interference from TVs connected in neighboring apartments is not excluded.

The level of this kind of interference can be significantly reduced or even eliminated completely by installing a ferrite ring on the cable.

The efficiency of suppression of interference with a ferrite filter depends on the cross-sectional area of the ring: the larger its area, the greater the inductance of the choke made. The ferrite ring put on the antenna cable forms a choke and, in conjunction with the linear capacitance of the antenna cable, forms a U-shaped high-frequency filter. The maximum suppression of interference will be achieved when two rings are installed on the antenna cable at its ends.

Ferrite rings are sold in stores and are of two types: solid and consisting of two halves, pressed into a plastic case with snaps. But you can do without extra costs. If you look closely at the interface wires going from the computer system unit to the printer, scanner, monitor and other peripheral equipment, you can see the thickening of cylindrical cables. These are ferrite filters.

Surely you have an old CRT monitor or you have unnecessary interface cables. It is enough to cut the plastic with a knife, remove the ferrite ring and install it on the antenna cable. After installing the ferrite bead, noise on the TV screen will no longer interfere with TV viewing.

It is difficult to imagine the life of a modern person without television. For comfortable viewing of programs and films, various ideas are used, for example, interactive TV. What is better to connect television, because there is a wide variety of them. Each company offers its own tariffs and services. To answer this question, you should take a closer look at the popular types of television.

Interactive television

Interactive television appeared in Russia several years ago. Then the improvement of technology began. All popular providers in the country began to offer just such services. What is the reason for this?

Interactive TV has several advantages. Users have many options, thanks to which the viewing of programs will be enjoyable. Functions such as rewind, record and pause are available to them. It is possible to display the program. There is also integration with popular social networks.

The advantages are related to the rich technical potential. The picture is of excellent quality, especially for HD channels. The picture looks clear, has no glare or other interference. Channels can be viewed even if there is no standard connection. Providers use a telephone line.

Currently, the Internet is actively developing, so online television is considered one of the most popular. You can watch your favorite programs even at home or very far from it. In addition to availability, flexible subscription management is also an advantage. Among the programs, you can choose those that you want to watch at the present time. Moreover, there is no binding in the broadcast time. The subscriber has the right to pause the program and view it at a convenient time. Such moments have earned positive reviews from many users.

Quality services are provided by such firms as Rostelecom, Beeline, MTS. You can choose any company, because each of them has positive reviews. Users love the variety of channels, great quality and great service.

Disadvantages of interactive TV

Considering interactive TV, you need to take into account the disadvantages. For the channels to be broadcast, you need an STB set-top box. Its price starts from 3 thousand rubles. Often the cost reaches 10 thousand rubles. You won't be able to buy cheaper equipment in a store.

Operators offer customers to purchase the device in installments for 12, 24, 36 months. Monthly payment includes the price of the set-top box from 100 rubles. The control is carried out by a special panel, which is very convenient for all people. If the bandwidth of the telephone line is low, there is a possibility that the connection request will be rejected.

Satellite TV

Satellite TV is in great demand now. There are many operators. What kind of satellite to connect? The companies Tricolor TV and NTV-plus are quite in demand among users, but there are many other providers as well.

Satellite TV is convenient. It is available to all users, without any restrictions. And to connect the interactive one requires special conditions. The satellite offers many channels. There are over 100 options to choose from. You can also connect thematic directories. Viewers refer to the pluses as the clarity of the image, especially if there is HD-TV.

Cons of satellite TV

Opinions differ on the question of which one is better to connect to television. This is due to the pros and cons of different types of TV. Satellite also has disadvantages. For example, during bad weather, the signal may disappear, due to which the TV will not show. It turns out that watching your favorite programs should be postponed.

This problem is solved after the weather improves, when the signal for TV operation reappears. The disadvantages include the disappearance of channels from the list or their coding. This drawback is eliminated by reconfiguring the signal frequency.

Digital tv

Now in Russia, instead of an analog signal, digital TV is more often used. Owners of TVs that have a digital receiver can watch up to 20 channels from a standard antenna. If this is not possible, then you can use equipment such as a receiver. When installed, you can watch your favorite channels even in the farthest regions of the country.

Digital TV has high definition and excellent clarity. No noise appears while watching channels. There is also no monthly fee. Channels in the amount of 20 are provided free of charge. Setting up the equipment is very simple, and special operating conditions are not required. Which digital TV is better to connect? Such services are offered by Rostelecom, MTS, Beeline and other companies. Providers provide many channels and favorable rates. Many users praise digital TV for its picture and sound quality.

Disadvantages of digital TV

But there are also disadvantages to digital TV. Sometimes friezes appear. This is believed to be caused by signal degradation or lightning interference. It is also limited - only 20 channels. A subscription fee is charged for the services after purchasing special equipment.

Often when viewing some channels, vertical or horizontal frames appear on the sides. The reason for this is believed to be the fact that there are no uniform broadcast parameters in Russia. Therefore, there are channels that show at 16: 9, while others show at 4: 3.

Which is better - digital TV or satellite TV? Both have their own advantages and disadvantages. They have a clear image, high quality sound. Services are provided by many firms. Therefore, which is best depends on the needs of the users.

Cable TV

If we take into account the viewership, then such TV is the opposite of on-air. Its main task is not considered to be mass broadcasting, but the satisfaction of the needs of users with different interests. People are offered many channels with a variety of topics.

Cable TV allows you to connect sports, children's, educational channels. There are also programs for watching movies, clips and entertainment programs. To connect a TV, you need to contact the operator that provides such services.

Which cable TV is better to connect? It is advisable to use the services of Rostelecom. The company is popular with the residents of our country. Package offers are especially beneficial. Users have the opportunity to choose a suitable tariff, taking into account their requests. There are minimal and detailed plans. Rostelecom allows you to connect to profitable TV. Most of the reviews are positive, as customers can watch their favorite shows from any gadget. You just need to connect to your TV box.

Features of choice

What is the best TV connection? To make the right choice, you need to consider a few rules. You need to focus on the subscription fee. Cable and satellite TV has it. The first service provides 100 channels, for which a constant fee is charged. And for satellite TV you will have to pay depending on the number of TV channels.

Equipment is essential. TV towers and antennas are everywhere in cities. This does not require the purchase of separate devices. For remote regions and summer cottages, it is better to purchase satellite TV. And cable will be convenient to use if it can be connected to the Internet.

Consider signal reception. In high-rise buildings, the clarity of the image is provided by cables, and outside the city you can connect to a satellite dish. Analog terrestrial TV is ideal for those who use a TV as a background, and they do not care what the signal quality is.

Providers of Moscow

Which TV is better to connect in Moscow? Many different companies work for people. Which one to choose depends on the desire, because each user expects something of his own from TV. Television in Moscow is connected by such companies as Rostelecom, OnLime, Ecotelecom, Beeline, Business Telecom.

What is the best way to connect a TV in a multi-storey building? In this case, it is advisable to choose cable, since it will provide high image quality and sound level. But residents of the suburbs are better off using satellite TV, because it will work smoothly. It turns out that the choice of television depends on the desire, area of residence and the number of required channels. All areas are in demand, because each of them is actively developing.

In the field of cable TV, capital rules, and therefore the path of development and the variant of implementation of the figure depends on the view of the problem of the management of each individual company.

A typical way is to start broadcasting in the DVB-C format (a version of the DVB standard for cable networks, which is characterized by a lower compression ratio and less noise immunity compared to the “over-the-air” standard, which is quite acceptable in a cable).

The standard implies the use of a coding system for channels, which makes it possible to build different services: allocate channel packages, open and close them for users without leaving the office. To decrypt the coded channels from the subscriber's side, so-called access cards are used.

To receive cable TV, you need a decoder that supports the DVB-C standard

Each coding system has its own, but the standard provides for a universal connector for connecting to a TV or set-top box of a CAM module for a specific coding, into which an access card is already installed.

Like DVB-T2, the "cable" version of the standard supports high definition (HD) content. But whether or not to enable HD channels in its network, each operator decides independently. It should be noted that almost all cable networks in Russia, where digital television has been launched, offer HD channels. Some even experimented with 3D channels.

Equipment for receiving DVB-T2 and DVB-C

Obviously, to view a digital signal, you need equipment that supports the corresponding standard.

TVs and set-top boxes with DVB-C support appeared on sale back in 2007, so if you have changed your TV in the last few years, you most likely have support for the "cable" version of the standard (in this case, there will be a slot for connecting CAM module, if provided by the operator).

Many cellular network operators also offer cable broadcasting of digital TV channels through the CAM module.

Ideally, to connect to cable digital television, the owner of such a TV just needs to purchase a CAM module from the operator and install an access card there. But, since each operator himself determines the policy of the service, CAM-modules are sometimes not offered, and then subscribers need to purchase an intermediary device - a set-top box with support for the conditional access system (CAS) used by the operator.

Most often, such devices are "sharpened" only for one COURT, which means that it can be used in another network only if, by coincidence, the same COURT is there.

Although in our country, digital channels are still broadcast in standard definition, some manufacturers offer set-top boxes that allow you to play Full HD - video content

If the cable operator offers HD channels (Full HD - picture resolution 1920 * 1080), then to view them, the equipment (TV, if a Cam module is used, or TV + set-top box) must also support Full HD. In general, DVB-C (DVB-T / T2) support does not mean Full HD support (both for TVs and set-top boxes). The situation is similar with 3D channels.

The cable TV decoder can also play MP4 videos

The fact that the TV set supports the “cable” version of the standard, unfortunately, does not mean that it also decodes the “on-air” version of the digit (the one used in Russia). Deliveries of equipment with support for DVB-T2 to our country began only in 2012. So it is safe to say that if your TV was purchased earlier, it will not "understand" the terrestrial standard. Cable set-top boxes also rarely support DVB-T2.

If your equipment does not allow "by default" to receive the terrestrial digital, it is not necessary to change it. You can limit yourself to buying a set-top box for DVB-T2, the cost of which starts from a thousand rubles. By the way, support for Full HD in the DVB-T2 set-top box is not yet in demand (since, as noted above, HD channels will not appear on the air in the near future).

Satellite Digit

Satellite is another “source” of digital television. Satellite platforms officially operating in Russia use the DVB-S and DVB-S2 standards (as with the terrestrial DVB-T and DVB-T2 standards, DVB-S2 is the next, more advanced generation of DVB-S).

To receive satellite digital television, you need a properly installed antenna (the diameter of which depends on the geographic location of the subscriber and the selected satellite), a receiver with a valid access card and a TV.

Satellite set "dish + decoder" will provide an apartment or a summer house with digital TV in HD quality

Support for the DVB-S / S2 standard can be integrated into the TV, then the operator purchases not a receiver, but a CAM module (and, of course, an access card for the module). True, not all platforms operating on the Russian market offer CAM modules, and the modules present on the market also do not always work correctly in TVs - so it is better to consult with specialists before connecting satellite television.

Note that to view Full HD channels from satellite, you need a TV and a receiver with HD support (the same situation is with 3D channels).
