The state program for a phased transition to the digital TV broadcasting standard DVB T2 is approaching the final stage - a gradual reduction in the number of analog repeaters. This suggests that the time has come to join new technologies and switch to digital. We will tell you about the equipment required to receive a television signal in a new format, as well as how to properly connect a digital set-top box (receiver) to a TV or monitor.

Necessary equipment

To watch digital broadcasting, as opposed to analogue, you need a receiver that decodes the signal. Many modern TV models (Philips, Samsung, Sony, Toshiba, LG, Panasonic, etc.) are equipped with such a unit. To verify this, you should refer to the user manual, this quick guide is included with each product. At the same time, check if the built-in tuner supports the DVB-T2 format, if not, you will need to purchase a receiver.

Depending on the set of functionality, the cost of such a device can vary between 800 - 3000 rubles. Note that many digital cable TV providers lease receivers to subscribers.

In addition, we need to receive a digital signal. In cities and large settlements, this will not be a problem; it is enough to contact local providers. Residents of rural areas will need to install a UHF antenna or satellite dish. The latter is preferable, since it is not a fact that your house is within the coverage area of ​​the nearest digital repeater. In addition, the option with a satellite dish gives you a wider choice of TV channels.

Consider what is included in the standard set for the receiver, this information can be useful when connecting it to a television receiver.

Let's list what is shown in the figure:

• A - user manual, we recommend that you carefully read this manual in order to get a complete picture of all the functionality of the device and its connection to a TV and antenna.
• B - "Tulip" (RCA) cable with characteristic connectors, allows you to connect the set-top box to almost all modern TV receiver models.
• C - a device for decrypting and converting a digital signal into an analog (receiver).
• D - packing box.
• E - remote control for the device.
• F - batteries for the remote control.
• G - power adapter for connecting the device to a household power supply.
• H - coupon for warranty service.

The basic equipment may slightly differ from that shown in the photo (for example, "Tulip" is replaced by an HDMI cable).

Connectors and their purpose

There are various connectors on the rear panel of the device, we will briefly tell you what they are intended for.

Fig 3. Connectors of the SDT-96 receiver from the SUPRA model range

Explanation for the figure:

1. Antenna output.
2. Connector for connecting a satellite dish, decimeter antenna or local provider cable.
3. A jack for an HDMI cable allows you to connect a monitor or TV equipped with such an input (digital output can transmit sound and image).
4. Jacks for the "Tulip" cable (transmits analog video signal as well as stereo sound).

Some devices may be additionally equipped with a "SCART" connector, which connects to a TV, VCR or DVD-player with a video recording function.

In addition, there may be devices where instead of the HDMI jack, D-SUB (Fig. 5) or DVI outputs are installed.

Fig 5. Digital set-top box with standard VGA (D-SUB) output

Note that such interfaces do not transmit audio, so an additional tulip connection will be required to transmit it.

The process of connecting a digital set-top box to a new TV step by step

Important! All manipulations must be done with the equipment turned off. If you connect a working equipment, there is a high probability of its failure.

Let's describe the order of our actions:

1. It is necessary to select the interface for connecting the set-top box to the TV. It can be analog (tulips, D-SUB, SCART) or digital (HDMI, DVI). The choice is made depending on the specific TV model. Although many FULL HD TV receivers have an analog input, it is better to feed them “digital”, since double conversion of the signal will negatively affect the quality of the “picture”.

This interface allows video and sound transmission, so the connection can be made with one cable.

If the TV does not have a digital input, it connects to any analog interface, the easiest way to do this is with tulips. In the event that the device has only a bulky SCART connector, you can purchase a tulip adapter for it. In this way, you can connect almost any model, except for the very ancient ones.

1. We check the availability of the cable necessary for connecting, it can be included in the set to the receiver or television receiver. If you cannot find one, you will need to purchase it.
2. We remove the protective film (if any) from the set-top box, install it in the chosen place and connect it to the TV. The cables are made in such a way that it is physically impossible to insert them into a connector that is not intended for this. An exception is tulips, they can be confused in places. But to prevent this, manufacturers make nests for them in the appropriate color.

As you can see, the colors of the connectors match the colors of the jacks (4 in Fig. 3).

1. We connect power to the console. If the mains adapter is built-in, just plug the plug into the socket, and the external power supply unit is pre-connected to the corresponding socket of the receiver.
2. We connect the provider's cable, decimeter antenna or satellite dish to the antenna input (2 Fig. 3).
3. We insert the batteries into the remote control, turn on the set-top box and the TV.

This completes the connection procedure, and you can start setting up the channels. If your TV does not have the interfaces listed above, do not worry, we will tell you how to get out of this situation.

Connecting to an old TV

The signal converter can work even with old models of television receivers when connected to the antenna output (1 in Fig. 3). To do this, you need a piece of antenna wire of the appropriate length and two antenna plugs. In order not to bother with soldering, you can take special F-connectors, the procedure for their installation on the cable is shown in Figure 8.

Procedure:

1. We remove the insulation from the antenna cable, carefully so as not to damage the braid (it is enough to clean 15 mm).
2. Bend the braid as shown in the picture.
3. Carefully remove the insulation from the central core.
4. It is necessary to strip 10 mm of the center wire.
5. We screw the connector clockwise.
6. We do this until the central core protrudes 2 mm from the connector.

Using the manufactured cable, we connect the antenna input of the TV to the corresponding output of the set-top box. In this way, you can connect any TV, be it Horizon 101 or the legendary KVN.

How to connect 2 TVs to a digital set-top box

Two television receivers can be connected via the antenna output, for this you need a special adapter from one to two cables (splitter).

Since the set-top box is intended for only one device, the two TVs will work synchronously, that is, show the same channel.

Customization

The set-top box is configured in the same way as the TV, namely:

• The menu is called up using the button of the same name on the remote control.
• We select the appropriate command that starts scanning the channels.
• When scanning is finished, we save the list of detected channels, if desired, they can be grouped in a certain way, give a name, etc.

Detailed instructions and functional descriptions can be found in the user manual. In most cases, the menu interface is intuitive, so setting up the receiver is as easy as connecting a set-top box to a TV.

The article provides detailed instructions on how to connect a digital set-top box to a TV. More and more users prefer digital television, as today it is one of the most modern methods of signal transmission. Therefore, the quality of the broadcast picture and sound is several times better than analog broadcasting.

To have access to digital TV, the user needs to purchase a digital receiver, and then connect and configure it.

The receiver can be connected not only to a television screen, but also to a PC, video player. But in this case, the user needs to additionally purchase a special adapter, it is necessary to connect the coaxial wire. You can buy this adapter at most electrical stores.

To watch digital channels you need the following equipment:

• TV set;
• prefix;
• TV or satellite dish;
• consumable items;

Connection process

1. The set-top box is unpacked, it is imperative to completely remove the protective film, otherwise this may subsequently lead to overheating of the device.
2. The ends of the antenna cable are carefully cut off, about 10-20 cm recede.
3. Fold back the shielding of the cable and screw the F-connectors to it.
4. Then the cable is connected to the receiver and to the TV.
5. After the cable is connected, you need to connect the RCA wires (tulips).
6. The connection of the digital set-top box to the TV is completed. The next step is setting up the technique.

Customization

After connecting to the TV, the setup phase begins. You can set up a digital receiver as follows:

1. Press the PU key "Menu".
2. Next, select the item "Tune TV channels".
3. Then press the "OK" button, automatic channel tuning will start.
4. When the procedure is completed, click "OK" and save the found channels.

You should know that in order to watch TV, the user must conclude an agreement with any provider that provides services for connecting satellite TV. Many companies offer to purchase their own branded receivers for the subscriber. This is the basic information on how to set up and connect the receiver to your TV.

Connecting to an older TV model

Can I connect my satellite receiver to an old TV? - a question of interest to many TV amateurs. You can also connect a TV box to an old screen, but you should know that not all outdated models are equipped with AV connectors, but each has a SCART, some of its contacts can pick up component signals. Therefore, one of the ways how to connect the tuner to an old TV is to use an adapter.

If the screen is quite old, then it does not have any connectors at all, therefore, in such cases, the antenna jack is used, a signal will be fed through it. You will need to purchase an RCA adapter. With this method, the satellite tuner can be connected to old television equipment.

Receivers of DVB-T2 format

Unlike Satellite TV, where the user needs to purchase a large set of equipment (dish, tuner), and then all this still needs to be configured and installed, then digital television in the DVB t2 format can be broadcast through a conventional antenna.

In order to watch TV in this format, you need to buy a DVB t2 receiver. The scheme for connecting DVB t2 receivers to a TV is practically no different from connecting other receivers.

Guide how to connect T2 TV panel:

• using an HDMI cable, the screen is connected to the receiver;
• then, also by means of a wire, the receiver is connected to the antenna;
• all equipment is connected to the network;
• then the standard settings are made.

With this simple method, you can connect a DVB t2 digital television set-top box to a TV.

8. If the connection and configuration are performed exactly according to the instructions, then nothing else will have to be configured; after entering the data, digital television will become available to the subscriber.

The instruction is suitable for most modern models: Samsung, Philips, Toshiba.

What is an AV receiver for?

This device is a staple in the home theater system. Since it is to the AV receiver that all other components of the system are connected. In fact, the AV receiver acts as a switching system (decorates, processes, distributes the signal). Therefore, when choosing, one should pay attention to its decoding, switching, amplifying properties.

Overview of the most popular AV receiver models

1. Pioneer VSX-831 – stylish and functional AV receiver, supports option google cast, has compatibility with different brands (Sony, LJ). The main advantage is the presence of 6 HDMI connectors.
2. Receiver BBK AV321T – an inexpensive but fairly good quality receiver. Equipped with all the necessary functionality, there is also an input for a karaoke microphone. Another advantage of the receiver is its simplicity and ease of use.
3. Denon AVR-X2300W – Many experts point out that this receiver is endowed with all the necessary features for the ideal operation of a home theater system. The receiver has a well-defined dynamics, it has a lot of various options. The device menu is convenient and intuitive.
4. Yamaha RX-V581 – powerful receiver, stylish and modern design. Supports technology Dolby Atmos... The only drawback is the fact that the device has only one HDMI output and four inputs. But at the same time, they all have passed 2.0a certification, which means that they can broadcast the most modern formats.

Equipment connection diagram

You can connect the AV receiver as follows:

1. Preparation of all components of the home theater system.
2. Then you need to choose a place where the device will be located.

These are basic recommendations on how to connect a satellite receiver and receivers of DVB t2 format to the screen. It also provides instructions for setting up a Rostelecom set-top box and an overview of AV receivers. Read also.

The whole world has already switched to digital television for a long time. Our country began the process of transition from analog signal transmission relatively recently. Digital television has contributed to the emergence of digital channels broadcasting throughout the country. TV sets supporting digital broadcasting DVB - T 2 appeared on sale.

It is very convenient, you just need to connect the TV cable to the TV, and no other wires are required anymore. But, if the TV does not support digital broadcasting, then a digital set-top box comes to the rescue. Many, having purchased this device, do not know how to properly connect it to a TV. Therefore, it is necessary to fill this information gap.

Required equipment

In order for digital television to broadcast in an apartment, the following equipment is needed:

• TV set;
• receiver;
• antenna or satellite dish.

The TV must be such that it has an antenna input, connectors for "tulips", scart - an input with a video input. Modern TVs have an hdmi - connector, it is also suitable for connecting a receiver.

Before purchasing a set-top box, you need to familiarize yourself with the list of companies providing digital television broadcasting services. Can consult with specialists selected company, who will advise the required receiver model. Some companies hold promotions that allow you to purchase and install the device for free.

The set-top box itself is just an attribute that allows you to receive and tune channels for a specific TV, broadcast in a completely new format and much better quality. In order for them to broadcast through the receiver, you need to deal with the broadcast source. This could be:

• the Internet;
• satellite dish;
• other similar items.

However, do not rack your brains too much over this issue, you just need to contact service providers who will explain everything in detail and in an accessible manner.

How to connect a digital set-top box

Such a set-top box can be connected not only to a TV, but also to a dvd- the player and the monitor. If the receiver is not connected to a TV, you will need a special adapter to connect the cable to the device. This adapter is sold at any electronics store.

Connecting the set-top box to the TV is as follows:

After that, all that remains is to configure the digital receiver.

Set-top box setup

Set up a digital set-top box as follows:

• take the remote control of the set-top box and press the "Menu" button;
• a window will appear in which you need to select the "Configure channels" item;
• click "OK" and wait for the set-top box to automatically tune the channels;
• then you need to accept the detected channels and save them.

Thus, it is quite easy to set up the receiver.

Connecting a digital device to an old TV

Many people still use older TVs. If the set-top box connects to modern models quickly and easily, then old "electrons" do not have a tulip connector.

Some older TVs do not have an A / V input, but they do have a SCART connector, some of the pins of which accept component signals. Therefore, you can find the tulip-to-SCART adapter circuit yourself and solder it.

In addition, an AV to SCART adapter can be purchased. It is of two types: adapter cable and the adapter itself, to which the standard RCA cable is connected from the set-top box.

Old Soviet televisions of the "Electron" type are not equipped with any inputs at all, so you should only use the antenna jack, where a high-frequency modulated signal is supplied. Thus, you will need to find a modulator with RCA inputs.

Conclusion

Having connected digital television, do not forget to pay every month for a certain package of channels. Some providers offer the purchase of digital set-top boxes with a set of digital TV channels, which are already included in the price.

The main thing is to get distracted from watching your favorite TV shows from time to time in order to make time for your family.

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

I will show using the example of a receiver Mystery MMP-71DT2 and like me, his software is exactly the same as Rolson's. If you have a different set-top box, the principle will be the same, but you may have to look at the instructions.

How to connect everything

First, we 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 the usual "tulips", they come complete with a prefix, as a rule. We look at the connectors in the instructions, you get something like that. If the antenna is with an amplifier, first turn it off, then you can always turn it on.

We launch all this economy, set-top box, antenna, TV. We select the required video input. If everything is done correctly, then you will see a start menu, of this type:

How to set up digital TV through "autosearch"

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

After launching autosearch, the set-top box will think for a long time, and must find something in the end. Important: since everyone is transmitted on one frequency, then you will catch channels not one by one, but immediately in batches of ten. So be patient. If in analog TV channels are caught one by one, then it may take several minutes, and the set-top box will search. But then all 10-20 channels will pop up at once.

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

List of tuned channels, "TV Guide" function

How to check the 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 the set-top box, a triple press displays data on the quality and intensity of the signal. Look in the instructions, it may have a different name, but it will do the same:

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

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

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

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

But in practice it happens a little differently. For example, you can catch takes. When the same channels will occupy several places at once. It seems not critical, but annoying. How to treat me.

What to do if you caught takes, or nothing was caught

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, autosearch is enough for you.

Summarizing

As you can see, setting up a dvb t2 digital television with your own hands is not a complicated matter. And you certainly shouldn't call a master who will do the same for you for a thousand rubles)

A package of channels broadcast on one 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.

In Crimea, there are now 3 multiplexes, so that they do not interfere with each other, as in analogue broadcasting, in each region broadcasting is carried out at 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 (st.Lenin 64)

Alushta - 30, 32, 56 (St. Sergeev-Tsenskogo 13)

Annovka (Belogorsk district) - 22, 32, 41

Belogorsk - 36, 37, 58 (st.Nizhnegorskaya 33a)

Dzhankoy - 24, 28, 30 (ul.Kraynaya 20)

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

Zavodskoe (Leninsky district) - 27, 26, 30

Kerch - 24, 41, 43 (Ordzhonikidze 144)

Kirovskoe (Black Sea region) - 21, 24, 40

Krasnoperekopsk - 24, 31, 43 (Tavricheskaya 105)

Partenit - 26, 27, 37

Sevastopol - 30, 40, 47 (Prospect Pobedy 96)

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

Sudak - 32, 49, 60 (East Highway 33)

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

Foros - 21, 43, 44 (Cape Sarych)

Yalta - 26, 35, 37 (South Coast Highway 55)

To receive DVB-T2, you need (preferably) an external decimeter television antenna without an amplifier with a modern cable with a minimum signal attenuation in it. Use of all-wave antennas is possible. Often an antenna with a good cable will receive a better signal than an antenna with an amplifier and old cable. The use of the Soviet cable RK-75 is not allowed, such a cable was not designed to receive signals in the UHF range, therefore, it has large signal attenuation.

It also happens that in the same settlement, 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 of the receiving antenna, select the manual channel search mode on the 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 a signal. Now you can see the received signal level scale and orient the antenna along it.
Rotate the antenna 5-10 ° in any direction, count in your head to 10, write down the signal strength. Rotate the antenna 5-10 ° more in the same direction
(further) and again count down to 10 and write down the received signal level. Thus, rotate the antenna 360 ° around its own axis.
After that, you will see from your records from which direction the maximum signal is coming.

With the advent of the era of digital terrestrial television, many cable and satellite subscribers began to think more and more about connecting free broadcasting... Indeed, according to the FTP, on the development of the digital broadcasting network, more than twenty television channels in excellent quality absolutely free. Which includes the compulsory federal television channels.

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

This is not difficult. To receive digital terrestrial television, you will need any subscriber equipment of the standard DVB-T2 / MPEG-4 with mode support Multiple PLP and decimeter antenna ( UHF) range. The antenna can be either collective (installed on the house, it is also called common in the house) or individual, installed directly in your house or apartment. Depending on the distance to the transmitting center, it is necessary to select the desired antenna. They are divided into active (with an amplifier) ​​and passive. When buying 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 received, select an antenna.

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

Let's go directly to the equipment for receiving. There are three main groups: TVs with a built-in DVB-T2 tuner, set-top boxes of the same standard and digital computer DVB-T2 tuners. Their setup is similar, if not the same.

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

It is best to connect a digital terrestrial set-top box according to the manufacturer's instructions, it is almost impossible to make a mistake there. Also, you can watch the official video from RTRS:

Several recommendations, also from RTRS:
connect the plug of the antenna cable and, if necessary, the digital set-top box to the TV;
connect autosearch of channels - the TV will tune to the corresponding digital terrestrial channel, when tuning to a channel in manual mode, you must specify 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 tune your antenna to receive a digital terrestrial signal (see the instruction manual for your TV).

On TVs with a built-in DVB-T2 tuner, all manipulations are carried out through the TV menu. Difficulties should not arise there either.

We recommend updating the software of your subscriber equipment to the most current one. This can be done in specialized services, or on your own (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 digital television network DVB-T2 was launched. Digital television provides high quality picture and excellent transmission signal. But in order to set up a connection to this network, you need to have the necessary knowledge, choose the right receiver and set it up 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

It is quite easy to connect the T2 tuner to the TV. If you have experience connecting turntables, antennas and other devices to a TV, then it will not be difficult to connect the receiver.

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 leads. The most important thing is that you don't have to pay to call the master. However, if the master can connect the set-top box to the TV for free, then it is worth giving the case 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 buying a receiver, you can immediately purchase a TV with a built-in DVB-T2 tuner. This saves space, time and costs. Among other things, it will be possible to control T2 channels with one remote control from the TV, while the receiver will have two remotes.

Almost all LCD TVs today have a built-in tuner for easy connection. Simply insert the antenna into the desired slot.

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, we perform simple steps:

• We go to the console menu.
• Click "Quick setup".
• If the default is another country, then we set "Russia".
• Then you must select the "DVB T2" standard. Often stands in the field of the DVB T / DVB T2 standard, which leads to the fact that the receiver searches for DVB T quality channels, and only then DVB T2. What we need is DVB T2 and its excellent quality.
• Then we press "Autotuning" and everything will be done automatically.
• After finding the channels, you can also view detailed information on the quality of communication by pressing the "Info" button.

Thus, you can tune the receiver to receive all the desired channels. But tuning doesn't always go smoothly. At times, problems arise.

What to do if DVB T2 setup fails

There are several options for why the setup fails:

• The problem is in the receiver;
• Antenna problem;
• The problem is on the TV.

Try to tune with a different antenna first. 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 will help. If the receiver, then several options are possible. First, the receiver may have the wrong firmware. Then you need to reflash the prefix. To do this, go to the manufacturer's website, download the new firmware, write it to a USB flash drive and insert it into the receiver. It will update itself and the problem will be fixed.

If the firmware update does not help, then the point here is most likely in the electronics. In this case, it is better to return the set-top box to the service or change it under warranty.

You can also check the TV itself. To do this, use a set-top box on another TV, and if it works, then the matter may be in the TV settings. In this case, contact the manufacturer. There they will be able to tell you how to correctly set the TV settings for connecting 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 we recommend 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 more, depending on the functions. In more expensive receivers, there are more fine settings, a better reception signal, more various inputs for connecting additional devices, and they also work faster. Compared to satellite boxes, the DVB-T2 receiver is inexpensive.

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

The introduction on the territory of Ukraine of terrestrial digital television of the DVB-T2 standard made it possible to significantly expand the zones of reliable reception of the TV tower signal, in comparison with the analog signal. Also, the simplicity of setting up and installing T2 did the trick, they became much more popular than satellite TV with MFA channels.

Let's move on to the practical side and talk about the direct installation of all the equipment necessary for receiving DVB-T2. Many modern TVs are already equipped with an integrated DVB-T2 receiver, in which 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, the installation and connection of T2 is a little different, we will now discuss it. To install T2 in the standard version, you will need:

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

1. UHF antenna , in practice, the so-called "Polish antennas" are often used, you can also purchase an antenna manufactured by the enterprise "Konwalia", "Margoon", etc. hard to say. It is also desirable that there is an amplification board in it, which can be powered both from and from an external power supply.
2. Cable, regular television , almost any will do, but it is better to take it with a braid filling percentage of 50% or more.
3. RCA or HDMI cable to connect the receiver to the TV , may be included or need to 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. Here it is probably stupid to advise something, I will just say follow the manufacturer's recommendations, and at least first turn it in the required direction. In which direction to direct the antenna, you can find out by looking at neighboring antennas or calculate the direction, for example, using Google or Yandex maps.

Connecting a digital receiver T2 to an antenna will also not cause great difficulties, the manufacturer and standardization makes this process simple and it is quite difficult to make a mistake here.

When connecting, it's hard to confuse something, RCA - the cable is connected simply, you just need to observe the color on the plug and on the socket, yellow to yellow, white to white, red to red. The antenna connector will also not allow you to connect other plugs to it, in this model of the receiver 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 signal 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.

This completes the connection of the T2 receiver. 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 jack to the “tulips”, in 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 appears with the search for channels and setting the initial receiver parameters:

Select the parameters and press "Autosearch", the receiver will scan and display the found channels.

If not all channels are found or none at all, we adjust the antenna and repeat the search from the receiver's menu until the number of channels and the quality of reception satisfy you. Happy viewing!
