How many pass their time? That's right, behind the TV. Television is a great opportunity to spend leisure time with interest. And modern TV only goes towards the consumer, increasing the “range” of functions every year. Soon all TV broadcasting will switch to a digital signal transmission method, but why not start keeping up with progress right now? In this article, we will figure out how to set up digital channels on a Samsung TV through an antenna so that you do not have any difficulties in this process.

What is digital television?

Many people are not even familiar with the concept itself. Digital television is an actual method of signal transmission and reception in a compressed form. It is with its help that today you can get a picture of impeccable quality.

Such television has a number of advantages:

1. The highest sound and picture quality. Television broadcasting is not afraid of interference.
2. When installing, you do not need to rummage and get tangled in extra wires.
3. The variety of channels can satisfy the tastes of even the largest family.
4. It is not necessary to call the installation wizards. Our instructions will clearly show that you can easily handle it yourself.
5. With this TV, you can get out on the Internet.

Some facts about modern TV

It's no secret that before all TV broadcasting was analog. Digital and analog differ in the type of information transfer, we have already talked about which type is better above.

China and Russia were going to make a complete transition to digital signaling by 2015. But this was prevented by a large number of still working analog transmitters. In 2016, the Minister of Communications made a statement that support for analog TV will soon be discontinued (conditional date is 2018). The same trends are observed in other countries of the CIS and not only.

Setting up digital TV on Samsung

Digital TV has become popular since its inception. And there are reasons for this:

• It is enough to complete the setup once, and no antennas will ever need to be corrected, and you do not need to reconfigure your TV to watch something else.
• This type of television does not have any interference, but if there are any problems with the signal, then you will not be able to watch the programs.
• Television of this format (DTV-format) is extremely popular among the population.
• To set up channels, it is not necessary to call a specialist, everyone can do it on their own. One of the requirements is that the model supports DVB-C tuner standards.

Important! All modern devices from Samsung are equipped with such standards. Even older models are not deprived of this trend.

Therefore, we will now talk about setting up the “numbers” on Samsung TVs.

How to tune digital channels on a Samsung TV? There is nothing complicated here. Check out the clear instructions to make sure:

• Visit the menu and open the “Channel” section.
• Open the "Country" item.
• If the TV requires a pin, then try entering the classic passwords: 0000, 1234, 1111.
• The TV setup takes place in the “Other” tab.
• Go back and go to "Cable Search Options".
• Here you must set the frequency to 290 MHz and the transmission rate, which is 6875 ks / s, and the modulation is about 256 QAM;
• Returns again and go to "Auto-Tuning".
• Select "Cable" for the signal source.
• We stop the choice on "Digital".

Important! If you have not yet set up analog TV, then go to the "Analogue and digital" section.

• Go to “Network” and start the setup using the “Login” item.

Samsung Smart TV setup

How to install digital channels on a Samsung TV if it is new? Things are easier on Smart TVs, and analog TV setup requires even less work:

1. We go to the Menu, go to the “Broadcast” tab.
2. Just select "Auto Adjust".
3. In the menu that opens, select “Auto Setup” again.
4. Press the "Start" key.
5. In the new window, activate the full search mode, move to the “Scanner” section.
6. Wait until all available channels are found, click “Close” when the process is over.

Now no one can stop you from enjoying watching TV.

Setting up on LG TVs

Along with technology from the eminent Samsung company, LG systems are also popular. Consider how to set up digital channels on such a TV:

• Press the Menu button on the remote control (remote control).
• We find the “Settings” tab on the screen, select it.
• In the menu that opens, select the "Options" tab, click "OK".
• Set your country.
• Go to the "Auto search" section, confirm your choice.
• You need to select the type of connection. Select "Cable".

Important! If the system does not put you in front of a choice of connecting to TV, repeat step 4, indicating another country.

• We set the same frequency and other parameters as in the setting on Samsung TVs (see above).
• We press "OK".

If you did everything right, then you will have all the available digital and analog TV channels.

After the advent of digital television, many users wanted to switch to its reception. It's not just about frequent discussions and the desire to try something new. Signal quality is an order of magnitude higher, and ease of access increases attractiveness. It is possible to connect digital TV to outdated kinescope models with the help of additional devices, and to modern TVs.

Ways to receive a digital signal

There are several ways to connect a high-quality signal to a TV:

1. Cable TV. Reception is carried out via a common cable. The downside is the subscription fee and not ubiquitous availability;
2. Satellite television. Signal transmission is carried out through satellites, and reception is carried out using an individual dish. You also need a monthly fee plus the purchase of special equipment;
3. Broadcast television. The digital TV signal is distributed from terrestrial repeaters, you can receive it from an antenna, indoor or outdoor. This is a completely free method of watching TV shows in a modern format. It has disadvantages: often a low signal level, the quality of the picture can be affected by the weather, the location of the tower, etc.

The least expensive way is to receive digital television through an antenna installed and configured by the user.

How digital television works

The transmission of picture and sound for digital television is carried out by encoding the video signal and sound over digital channels. Digital encoding differs from analog in immunity to interference (external obstacles). A blurry, fuzzy picture, stripes are impossible here. The image is either clear or completely absent.

If the reception is uncertain, then perhaps the picture will break up into squares, disappear and reappear from time to time. It depends on how you set up the antenna. Alternatively, you can install a different antenna or raise and deploy the existing one, pointing at the TV tower.

Required viewing equipment

1. Antenna;
2. A separate set-top box with a DVB T2 tuner that supports the MPEG 4 standard and can operate in Multiple PLP mode.

Antenna can be used conventional analog. If the TV was released relatively recently, then it may have a built-in tuner of the desired format (the outdated DVB T format is no longer supported). Then you don't need to buy anything else.

To find out if there is a built-in DVB T2 tuner, you can look at the data in the data sheet. It is even easier to find a TV model on the Internet and get a comprehensive answer.

Selecting a digital tuner

At first glance, all TV boxes are the same. The main thing is not to make a mistake in the main technical characteristics. But there are other features that affect the further operation of the equipment and the breadth of functions covered:

1. The absence of buttons on the external panel of the set-top box will oblige you to use it only with the remote control, which is not always convenient;
2. If the tuner does not have a USB port, this technique cannot be used as a media player. If available, you can record TV shows and play photos, videos.

Important! A good choice is a set-top box with a separate power supply. It is usually built in. The most common cause of tuner failure is a power supply failure. If it breaks, you need to repair or replace the entire prefix, and the remote power supply must be replaced separately without problems.

Many hang the TV on the wall, and quite high. Then it is inconvenient to use the usual design of the prefix. There are equipment modifications - compact set-top boxes that are attached to the back of the TV with adhesive tape. The strength of the attachment must be considered. Such a receiver is controlled by a remote control through a separate sensor attached to the same adhesive tape on the outer panel of the TV. Power comes from the TV's USB port.

The set-top box can also be used in conjunction with a computer monitor (if there is an HDMI port). Then you can watch digital TV from a conventional antenna. If the built-in TV tuner fails, it can be easily replaced using the receiver.

What channels are available to watch

To watch free digital channels through a conventional antenna, the 2017 list contains two multiplexes:

• the first RTRS 1 - frequency 546 MHz, channel 30;
• the second RTRS 2 - frequency 498 MHz, channel 24.

Technical data are valid for Moscow and the region. They may differ in other regions. A total of twenty television channels and 3 more radio programs are available.

Important! TV does not pick up additional channels. Antenna tuning will not affect the number of received channels, but only their quality.

How to locate a TV tower

Users living in the city, in the signal reception area from the TV tower, are not puzzled by such questions. But for the inhabitants of remote towns and villages, the information is relevant. What knowledge is needed for the best choice and proper tuning of the antenna:

1. The exact location of the tower and the distance to it;
2. Technical parameters (channels and broadcasting frequencies), using which you can catch a digital signal in a given area. This is necessary for the user to manually tune TV channels on the set-top box;
3. Is the entire list of channels available for reception. There may be one or two packages.

Full information about the TV towers is on the official website of RTRS. There are maps where you need to enter the name of a particular settlement in the search bar. A map of the area will immediately open, on which all transmitting TV towers are indicated (green - operating, black - under construction). If you click on the cursor hovering over the selected village, information will be available on where and for how many kilometers operating transmitters are installed, channel numbers (TVK), broadcasting frequency, number of packages).

The active menu includes a function that allows you to find out the coverage areas of individual repeaters.

Now, armed with knowledge, it is necessary to determine whether it is enough to install an indoor antenna or whether an outdoor, more powerful one is required.

Antenna types

The analog signal is received at the MV antenna. DVB antennas are more compact. There are combined samples capable of receiving both ranges. From such a combined design, unnecessary elements can be removed, and you get an excellent UHF antenna. For example, if there is a long whisker (an element for the MV signal), they can be removed.

All antennas are divided into:

• active;
• passive.

Active devices are those in which amplifiers are used. The antenna with the amplifier must be connected to a power source. If a receiver is used, the 5V power for the amplifier is supplied through it. This is done in the menu settings. The option is called Antenna Power.

An amplifier does not always mean better reception, in some cases it will even hurt:

1. In the area next to the TV tower, turning on the amplifier can lead to the complete disappearance of reception due to too strong a signal;
2. The amplifier is the weakest element of the antenna, often failing. Plus a power supply and additional wires, which also require repair and replacement;
3. The intensity of the TV signal itself is provided by the design of the antenna. And the amplifier in parallel increases the level of noise and interference;
4. If you want to connect another TV to a passive antenna, this is easier to do.

Passive structures do not have additional amplification, they are usually used in areas with a stable signal.

Antenna selection and installation

An old antenna may be suitable for receiving a digital signal if it consists of short elements or combined. If there are working serviceable antennas, it remains only to find out whether they will effectively catch the "figure" in local conditions.

The decimeter signal does not have an extensive coverage area. Therefore, for its distribution, it is necessary to build a network of transmitters. The surrounding landscape, the presence of high-rise buildings, mountains, forests, the power of the repeater greatly affect the quality of the signal. Antenna installation must take into account all these factors.

Reception zone

A stable and reliable signal zone is an area within a radius of no more than 10 km from the television tower. Here, a simple indoor antenna will do a great job of receiving. If you have an amplifier, you can not use it.

If the signal disappears, the image breaks, then you need to connect the existing amplifier through the set-top box, using the appropriate menu item. Power will be supplied via the antenna cable.

Multi-story buildings can become a problem due to the reflection of decimeter waves. But the same reflection can be used. Let's say the antenna does not catch when it is oriented towards the TV tower. Point it at nearby tall buildings, the reception of the reflected signal will probably be much more effective.

It is necessary to check the presence of electrical appliances near the room antenna (third-party power supplies, etc.), as well as metal blinds on the windows. They can significantly weaken the signal.

Short circuit

There are times when the set-top box suddenly stopped responding to the use of the remote control, buttons, the image and sound disappear, and “Antenna short” is displayed on the screen. The problem does not mean that digital television does not work. There is simply a short circuit in the antenna cable or in the receiving device itself.

Why did the closure happen? There may be several reasons:

1. The presence of a short circuit in the cable associated with careless installation, in all likelihood, at the connection points. The antenna plug can only be damaged by manufacturing defects;
2. The active receiver is in operation, power is supplied to the amplifier. The amplifier is sensitive to lightning and can be damaged during bad weather;
3. A passive antenna is connected, and the power to the amplifier is turned on in the receiver's menu. Passive devices are often short-circuited.

In the latter case, you need to disconnect the receiver from the network, separate the antenna from it, then turn on the power again, on the connected tuner, in the menu settings, turn "Antenna Power" to the "Off" position.

Important! The search for and elimination of the causes of a short circuit is carried out after the attachment is separated from the mains.

Remote area from TV tower

Distance is considered to be more than 30 kilometers from the repeater. With a powerful transmitter and direct visibility, we install a small receiving device such as a wave channel or a log-periodic one. You need to direct the antenna to the TV tower. In such conditions, it is even possible to use an indoor unit with an amplifier.

With increasing distance and when a settlement is located in low places, the requirements for the antenna increase. More powerful samples are needed. A good receiving device necessarily includes an amplifier, and its arrow is long enough. There are samples with several arrows, but they will only be needed under extremely poor conditions.

Many users have a Polish antenna, since in the recent past it was popular because of its affordable cost. Its other name is the lattice. Can this design be adapted for digital television?

It is quite functional, but some changes are required. The antenna amplifier does not contribute, but interferes with signal reception. Therefore, it must be taken out of work. Simply disconnecting the power supply is often ineffective. It is more reliable to dismantle the television cable on the amplifier board and connect it there to the two upper bolts: to one - the central core, to the other - the shielding braid. Thus, the amplifier is excluded from the circuit, and the antenna becomes passive.

Antenna and TV setup

There are several ways to properly set up a digital signal. The choice depends on the conditions of admission.

Auto search

This method is the easiest, but it requires a strong stable signal. The equipment is installed, turned on, digital channels are selected in the settings menu, and auto search is turned on. The TV automatically finds and stores the entire list of channels.

Manual mode

Suppose, in the auto-search mode, the TV cannot catch anything. Or found channels with interference. These pictures are not digital. Perhaps the TV at the same time went through the entire frequency range and caught several analog channels.

Now it will be useful to know the numbers of TV channels (TVK), through which the signal is transmitted for each multiplex. Information about the location of the TV transmitter will also come in handy to direct the antenna in the right direction. If the house is surrounded by other residential buildings, you can navigate by neighboring receivers, but not by satellite dishes that "look" at their satellite.

1. In the menu, you need to enter the manual setting, after selecting DTV (digital television);
2. Enter the channel number or its frequency by typing from the remote control;
3. Two indicators will appear at the bottom of the menu, displaying the intensity of the television signal and its quality. Sometimes there is one indicator;
4. In the presence of even a slight signal, you can begin to turn and move the antenna in order to achieve its amplification. An instant reaction when changing the position of the receiving device is not worth waiting for. It will show up in a few seconds. The search should be carried out stepwise, with pauses. When the antenna is outdoor, it is difficult to do it alone, it is better to take an assistant;
5. Immediately after the appearance of a stable signal with a good level, you can start searching for channels and saving;
6. Channels of the second multiplex are tuned in the same way, if its reception is technically possible in the given area.

Important! If the signal disappears, then reappears with the scale filled to 100%, and this continues in turn, this means that there is no reception.

Complete lack of signal reception

This situation is typical for particularly unfavorable conditions, in low places, closed by mountains, next to high-rise buildings, with low-power towers located far away.

The search for a TV signal must be manual. At the same time, for its primary display on the indicators, you need to show patience and endurance, having tried different methods:

1. Purchase a powerful active antenna;
2. If there are other towers nearby, you can sometimes try a manual search on the TV set to alternate repeaters. Perhaps the signal passing conditions will be better;
3. A good effect is to raise the antenna to a height using a mast;
4. When the TV tower is located close, and the house is located in the center of a densely built-up area with high-rise buildings, one should not rush to buy an expensive powerful receiving device. It is better to experiment with the reflected signal by alternately directing the antenna in different directions to neighboring buildings or placing it on the roof.

Tuning via receiver

Old TVs, models without built-in tuners with DVB T2 support, require tuning through the receiver.

CRT TVs are connected to a digital set-top box with RCA cables, LCD models with an HDMI cable. In the first case, the AV mode is selected during setup, in the second, HDMI. The mode is selected from the TV remote control. On the remotes, the choice of modes is located under different buttons: INPUT, SOURCE, VIDEO, just a rectangle with an arrow.

Subsequent setting is carried out using auto-search or manually using the set-top box. The antenna must be connected to the set-top box.

Receiving a digital television signal on a conventional antenna is an easy way to provide yourself with a high-quality picture, requiring minimal financial costs and physical effort. With the development of the network of TV towers, the signal reception conditions will improve.

Video

For many reasons, connecting digital television (cable and satellite TV) is now very popular, especially when you consider that you can even connect it to an outdated TV model. Now there are many companies that provide digital TV connection and setup services for a fee. . Most people turn to such companies for help, having no idea that setting up TV channels on their own is not difficult. The main thing is to stock up on the necessary equipment and follow all the steps exactly according to the instructions.

Before you start setting up digital channels yourself, you need to figure out what digital television is, how it differs from analog, how it works and what are its advantages.

Digital television is a modern way of transmitting a video sequence and an audio track in an encoded compressed format over certain channels to a device directly from a broadcaster. Such television has the following advantages:

• Consistently high quality audio and video signal, unaffected by external factors.
• Mobility - for connection it is not necessary to stretch cables and connect unnecessary equipment.
• Digital TV is available in remote areas, such as a country house.
• A large number of television channels - information, entertainment, sports, children.
• The ability to set up television on your own, without contacting specialists.
• Digital TV opens up the possibility of using additional options, including the Internet.

General settings

There are several ways to set up digital TV, each with its own pros and cons. It is worth considering that the purchase of a set for connecting a channel package may have a different cost depending on the selected connection option.

• Through the antenna. To set up terrestrial television, you need to connect the antenna and amplifier to the TV tuner, and it to the TV. You can choose from manual and automatic TV channel search. With auto-search, there is a risk of multiple duplication of the same programs - you can remove them by switching to manual settings.
• through the tuner. The bonus of the receiver is the broadcasting of standard federal channels. When connecting a TV tuner to a conventional television antenna, you need to use the channel search function. Prices for the tuner are about 1500 rubles.
• Through fiber optic cable. Equipment can be purchased from a telecommunications company such as MTS and Dom.ru. The kit comes with a cable, a prefix and a control panel. The cable is connected to the antenna socket. The cost of maintenance is 500-1000 rubles per month (depending on the provider and the number of channels).
• Through a satellite dish. It is best to entrust the installation of the antenna to the masters - they will select a suitable place for installation. The receiver is connected to the TV with a low-frequency or high-frequency cable. The cost of the equipment is approximately 3500 rubles, and the annual fee depends on the chosen package.
• With the help of the function. The fastest way, taking about 5 minutes. Modern TVs of such well-known brands as have a built-in Smart TV function. With its help, in automatic mode, it is possible to find all available TV channels and save them to the device's memory.

The principle of searching for channels on TVs of all manufacturers is approximately identical:

1. From the remote control, go to the TV menu, go to Settings.
2. We find the item "Search for channels" - select automatic or manual search.
3. In the pop-up window, from the two options “Antenna” and “Cable”, select Cable TV.
4. The Cable TV Preset tab appears. Select the item "Full".
5. We drive the following data into the empty fields: frequency 314, modulation 256, data transfer rate 6956. We confirm the choice with the "Start" button.
6. After a while, programs will appear on the screen. At the end of the search, you will see the number of channels found.

Depending on the TV model, digital TV settings may have some peculiarities, such as the sequence of steps and the names of menu items.

Setting up LG TVs

The menu and firmware of LG TVs may differ depending on the model and year of manufacture, however, all devices of this company have similar features that you need to navigate. To tune in digital channels on your LG TV, follow these steps:

1. connect equipment (antenna, cable, tuner);
2. press the "Menu" button on the TV remote control;
3. in the pop-up window, select the "Option" item; in the subparagraph "Country" indicate Germany or Finland;
4. by pressing the “Back” button on the remote control, we return to the original menu, this time we need the “Settings” item;
5. in the drop-down list, select "Automatic search", connection type - "Cable";
6. set the standard values ​​​​to the three above-mentioned characteristics and click "Start".

There is nothing difficult in this, you can cope with all the manipulations in 5-7 minutes. It is important not to forget about the choice of the country, otherwise nothing will work. It is also recommended to turn off the auto-update of channels, otherwise the settings will always be reset every time you turn on the TV.

Setting up Samsung TVs

The entire setup process on Samsung TVs is also done using the remote control and includes the following steps:

1. connect the antenna to the TV;
2. press the "Menu" button on the remote control;
3. a list of tabs will appear on the right side, you need to stop on the line "Channel" or "Broadcast" - next to the name there is an icon of a satellite dish;
4. in the window that appears on the left, open the "Antenna" item and select "Cable";
5. scrolling a little lower we find the “Country” item, select “Other” in the list - after that the system will ask for a pin code (enter 0000);
6. after successfully entering the password, a window will appear in which you need to select the signal source "Cable";
7. at the end, select a quick automatic search for TV channels, and also enter the frequency, modulation and data rate values ​​listed above by analogy.

At the end of the search, which takes a couple of minutes, all found on-air channels will be displayed on the screen.

Setting up Philips TVs

In principle, on a Philips TV, you need to do the standard steps described above. But still there are a couple of nuances, and some names of the menu sections may vary. The instruction looks like this:

1. connect the antenna to the TV;
2. open the menu;
3. in the list, select the item "Installation" (gear icon);
4. an auxiliary window will be displayed on the right, in it we are looking for the line “Channel settings”;
5. another window pops up on the side - there you will need the option "Automatic installation";
6. do not be afraid of a warning that all old saved channels will be deleted from memory - we confirm that we agree to the terms;
7. press the "Start" button, then select "Reinstall channels";
8. in the pop-up window, open the "Country" tab and traditionally set Germany or Finland, then go back one step;
9. select the type of connection "Cable";
10. we make the necessary adjustments in the "Settings" section - in the "Transfer rate" parameter we score 314;
11. finally, you can click "Start" to make the TV start searching for TV channels.

When choosing a digital television service provider, you should lean towards those companies that provide a full package of services, including setup and service. Otherwise, specialized knowledge on setting up digital television on a specific TV model will be required, depending on the manufacturer, they may differ.

General concepts about setting up digital television

Any setting is carried out through the menu of a specific TV. You can call this function using the "Menu" button on the remote control.

1. To set up digital television channels, call the "Start" menu, then go to "Settings".
2. In the "Settings" menu, select "Search" or "Channel settings". The system offers analog and digital channel search methods, depending on the year of manufacture and model of the device being tuned. Sometimes the TV supports several standards: DVB-T and DVB-C. In the first case - the "Antenna" mode, in the second - "Cable".
3. To continue the configuration, select the first option - "Antenna". If an error is made at this stage, the configuration will fail.
4. Choose how to set up channels: automatically or manually. The choice is individual, at the request of the user. With automatic tuning, the program itself searches for the desired frequencies and assigns sequential numbers to them. These numbers can be changed if necessary.

Manual tuning of digital television channels

1. On the remote control, press the "Menu" key.
2. We find the item "Manual setting" (may be called differently).
3. Specify the search parameters.
4. We tune each frequency separately.
5. In the search parameters, specify the symbol rate 6750, modulation 128 and individual frequencies: 402, 410, 418, 426, 434, 442, 450 and 458.

Depending on the TV model, the digital TV setting may differ from the above algorithm. To specify the procedure, consider setting up a TV on specific TV models.
