Let's be honest, we can't live without TV anymore. Of course, there is a computer, a laptop, a smartphone, but a person is still in awe of television. Not enough people simple channels- I want something more interesting, diverse. In this case, you can not do without satellite TV. That means you have to choose the best operator satellite television.
On the territory of Russia there are several good companies, offering services for displaying pay TV channels. Some do it for a nominal fee, while others work for decent money. In many ways, the matter depends on whether the signal from the satellite can be received in a certain area. On the this moment satellite TV operator Telekarta is wildly popular. They offer many benefits, from low price until good coverage.
Telekart satellites
At the moment, Telekarta satellite television broadcasting is carried out from several satellites at once. This is:
- Intelsat-15;
- Horizons-2 (85°E);
- Express AM5.
And if the user has the appropriate satellite equipment and settings are made on correct frequencies, then the channels will show great. The satellite broadcasting area covers the entire territory of Russia, and captures most of the CIS countries, so that you can enjoy TV from Telekart and ordinary users who only need to select the correct frequency. Let's look at each of the satellites that provide us with stable signal for pay TV in more detail.
- INTELSAT 15
The intelsat 15 satellite is American. Sometimes its name looks like IS-15, so if you change the broadcast frequencies of channels in the settings, then pay attention to this specificity. The launch of this device was carried out at the end of 2009, and the satellite has been working perfectly until this time, since its guaranteed operation period is fifteen years.
To provide quality signal There are 23 Ku-band transponders on the satellite. Who does not know, a transponder is a device that receives and transmits a signal. Without transponders it would be impossible to carry out satellite broadcast. Some of them are directed to the Middle East, some to the Indian Ocean, and eight to Russia, providing broadcasts for such popular projects as Continent and Telekarta.
In simple terms, the situation is as follows - with the help of each transponder, several TV channels signal, therefore many Telecard channels have the same frequencies.
- HORIZONS 2
The satellite in question has been operating a little longer - since 2007. It was also launched by the American satellite operator intelsat. He brought her to orbital position 74°. But in 2011, representatives of such brands as Telekarta, Continent and Eastern Express entered into a conclusion with the company that owns the satellite, the essence of which was the ability to transfer the Horizons-2 satellite to another position - 85 ° E. d.
After this procedure, the inhabitants of Russia were able to see some of the TV channels that are already broadcasting from this satellite. This made it possible to expand the audience by expanding coverage.
In addition, the expansion of satellite capacities took place, which allowed the operator to significantly increase the number of broadcast channels. This satellite has slightly fewer transponders - only 20, and they, as in the case of intelsat 15, operate in the Ku-band. But in the case of Telecard, the positions this satellite a little better, since not 8, but 10 transponders are involved in the work.
- EXPRESS AM5
This spacecraft belongs to Russia. The date of its launch is considered to be 2013, and the period of its operation is 15 years. We developed and sent this equipment by order of the Federal State Unitary Enterprise "Space Communications", and created a satellite of OJSC "Information satellite systems". Of course, Canadian specialists were also involved in the development, so the quality of the device fully meets the standards.
Broadcasting frequencies of paid channels Telekarta
Telekarta TV is a relatively young satellite television operator in Russia. Broadcasting of channels began in 2010, and has already managed to win a considerable audience. Of course, some channels broadcast for free, but there are also paid channels, the price for which is symbolic. To catch a signal, you need to set the satellite dish to the desired frequency.
Video works in digital format, allowing viewers to enjoy clear, high-quality images. In addition, most modern receivers work with Telecard TV access cards, so it is very important to figure out which frequency is being used.
Here Common parameters for Intelsat 15 satellite 85.2° east longitude:
- Frequency: 12640 MHz;
- Polarization - Eastern;
- Stream - DVB-S;

On the air they show excellent films, fascinating series of domestic and foreign production, and educational TV programs. In general, no user will remain indifferent;
- Channel "Male". These are programs for real men. It broadcasts programs about doing business, how to take care of a car, and what new products have been released on the car market. In addition, the male half of humanity will be told how to relax, for example, fishing or hunting.
Each channel has its own audience and is in stable demand. But to get access to them, it is not enough just to buy the equipment. We have to carry out, and periodically check its relevance.

offered by the operator. And also let's talk about options for connecting satellite TV Telecard. So, let's begin.
After installation and configuration satellite dish, upon activation of the access card included in the set of purchased equipment, the Telecard makes it possible to connect one of the basic tariffs, or "Standard" or "Unlimited".
At the time of activation of the access card for review, at the request of the client, the Telecard operator offers to connect the "Unlimited" tariff for a month of viewing, at the price of the "Standard" tariff. Further, you, as a client, must make a decision within a month about what you choose. What list of Telecard channels do you want to view?
Choice of tariff plan
If you chose "Standard", just take and call the support service and ask to be transferred to it. And enjoy watching the selected list of TV channels. When connecting to the Telecard, you have 880 rubles on your account by default. This amount is exactly equal to the cost of an annual subscription to this package. All inclusive - all inclusive. 🙂
When choosing "Unlimited", you will need to add an additional 1600 rubles to your Account. As annual subscription for "Unlimited" is 2,388 rubles. - 199 rubles. / month If you don't take action, it's sad. 🙂 The remaining amount on your account, in the amount of 807 rubles, will burn out in sixty days.
Why? Because the cost for the year is 2388 rubles, that is, 199 rubles. per month of viewing. But this is only when a year of viewing the Telecard is paid. If the tariff is not paid by you for the year, but connected by you, the monthly payment will cost twice as much - 399 rubles.
Well, now let's look at the lists of Telekart HD channels in more detail, let's put everything on the shelves.
