Which satellite should you tune the Tricolor TV antenna to
For residents of the European part of Russia and the Urals, the antenna must be tuned to satellites Eutelsat 36B & Express AMU1 36.0 ° E... For residents of the Siberian District and part of the Far Eastern District, the antenna must be tuned to the satellite Express AT1 56.0 ° E... In the Ural District, bordering on the irradiation zones, the antenna can be tuned to any of these satellites.
What to do when Tricolor TV channels are not working!
On April 2, 2018, all channels in the MPEG-2 standard were disabled. To watch the operator's channels, it is necessary to exchange MPEG-2 equipment for MPEG-4 equipment at the operator's dealers. Why paid channels stop working on old models of MPEG-4 receivers, this is a question to satellite operator Tricolor TV to St. Petersburg!1. If all the Tricolor TV channels have stopped working for you, do not rush to tune the dish and re-register the channels, perhaps the operator has channel prophylaxis!
2. If the operator does not have prophylaxis and the satellite is in place, and the packages are paid for, and the receiver gives "No signal", then you need to check the connection to the antenna, the dish setting to the satellite, the converter, and then the receiver itself.
3. Sometimes it is useful to reset the receiver to the factory settings (then turn it off and on again) and re-register the channels.
4. Snow adhered to the converter can completely block satellite signal!
5. When the receiver gives out "Scrambled channels", "Error ..." and something like that, and the info channel is working.
In this case, you need to check the availability of payment through Personal Area subscriber.
Try to reset the receiver to the factory settings (then turn it off and turn it back on) and re-register the channels, then you need to leave the receiver turned on on a coded one. Russian channel and wait for the keys to come. If the channels do not open, then you need to contact the managers of Tricolor TV, and if they do not help, check the receiver for latest firmware or malfunction.
6. If you haven't updated in time software receiver from the satellite, when the operator suggested doing this, then all or some of the television channels may stop working. In this case, the receiver must be updated forcibly, via the USB connector using a "flash drive". Everything software firmware can be found on the GS receiver manufacturer's website.
How to tune the Tricolor TV antenna to the Eutelsat 36B & Express AMU1 36.0 ° E satellites yourself
Coordinates by which the satellite dish is tuned:1. Azimuth.
2. Elevation angle.
What is the difficulty of tuning the antenna
Very narrow beam of the antenna pattern, only a few degrees. Moreover, what bigger size antennas, the narrower the beam. Tuning the antenna to the satellite Express AT1 56.0 ° E is performed in the same way as for the Eutelsat 36B & Express AMU1 36.0 ° E satellites, only the coordinates of the Express AT1 56.0 ° E satellite must be entered into the program.
Setting process
1. It is quite easy to tune the Tricolor TV antenna to the satellite! On the initial stage you need information about telecommunication satellites, the coordinates of their location, about the features satellite TV and satellite equipment... You can get information about this and much more on our website, in the article: "Satellite television".
2. Before installing and adjusting the antenna, you must determine the direction to the satellite:
a). With the help of a compass (it must be borne in mind that its readings can be influenced by nearby metal objects), the sun, GPS navigator or for nearby 0.6 m dishes, approximately, determine the azimuth for the Eutelsat 36B & Express AMU1 satellites 36.0 ° E, (36 degrees east longitude). Be sure to check that the direction to the satellite is clear of high-rise buildings, trees, etc.
b). In order to accurately determine the location of the satellite, you can use the program " Satellite antenna Alignment ", which can be downloaded from the site http://www.al-soft.com/saa/satinfo-ru.shtml
Satellite Antenna alignment»Will help you calculate the azimuth and elevation required for installation and adjustment satellite dish, for any available satellite, at the selected geographic point of reception. With the help of the program, you can calculate the angles for all geostationary telecommunication satellites located on the "arc" at once.
The program remembers geographical coordinates places for which the calculation was made. Subsequently, you can use these coordinates, because they are stored in the program memory.
At the beginning, when working with the "Satellite Antenna Alignment" program, it is necessary to enter the geographic coordinates of the installation site in the "Coordinates of the antenna installation site" section.
Symbols: "N - north latitude", "S - south latitude", "E - east longitude" and "W - west longitude". After entering the coordinates, on the left in the table, get the calculated azimuth and elevation angles (elevation angle) of the antenna for all satellites at once. Azimuth is the direction to the satellite (in degrees), defined as the angle between north and the satellite. The elevation is the direction, defined as the angle (in degrees) between the direction toward the satellite and the ground at the receiving point. A negative elevation angle means that the satellite is below the horizon and is not available for reception. Thus, in the place where the antenna is installed, it is theoretically possible to determine all the satellites from which reception of signals is possible. Focusing on azimuth and elevation, you can quickly determine the direction to the satellite on the ground and the ability to receive a signal at a selected point.
In the absence of a tool for determining the geographic direction, you can use the determination of the coordinates of the satellite by the sun.
The program allows you to calculate the azimuth of the sun. To do this, you need to set the geographic coordinates of the area in the program. Estimated height above sea level - 0 meters.
The calculation is made for a certain date... The calculation results are presented in the left part of the table. According to the table, for the sun, we determine the azimuth and the angle of rise in per this moment time.
How to work: first, we determine the azimuth to the selected satellite, and then we calculate the azimuth of the sun on the day the antenna is installed. Further in the table we find the azimuth of the sun close in value to the azimuth to the satellite and determine the time (and date) when the sun will be in this direction. At the calculated moment of time, we turn the antenna directly to the sun, because at this time the azimuths of the sun and the satellite coincide. The elevation angles of the satellite and the sun may not coincide. If they match, then reception from the satellite at a given time will be unstable, or not possible at all, because powerful electromagnetic radiation the sun will "block" the signal from the satellite. This phenomenon is called solar interference, it happens in spring and autumn for several days.
When calculating, the time zone must be taken into account (for Moscow +3 hours to Greenwich Mean Time).
If in the country the arrows are translated to summer time, then it is necessary to add 1 hour to the obtained azimuth calculations!
The program displays the direction to the satellite with a red line, the red line is not drawn if the satellite is behind the horizon line and is not available for reception in this place... The yellow sector indicates daylight hours, the sides of the horizon are also indicated on the diagram.
Also, using this program, you can calculate the angle between the obstacle in the path of the satellite dish and the plane of the conventional horizon where the antenna is located. By specifying the height of the obstacle and the distance to it, you can determine this angle. If it is greater than the elevation angle of the satellite you selected, then satellite reception at this installation location is not possible.
One more useful function programs: when you activate the "Transponders" tab, the program downloads from the Internet all active transponders of the selected satellite.
The program saves all data in the file format of your choice.
To determine the location of the Eutelsat 36B & Express AMU1 36.0 ° E satellites, enter the coordinates of your settlement(the data can be obtained from Yandex) and you will determine their azimuth and elevation. According to calculations by the Satellite Antenna Alignment software, the exact parameters of the satellites in Nizhny Novgorod: azimuth - 189.592 degrees east longitude, elevation - 25.516 degrees.
3. Next, assemble the antenna according to the instructions, fix the converter on it and install the antenna on the bracket, which should be fixed vertically to the Earth on a flat surface. Connect the antenna to the receiver using a TV cable with a characteristic impedance of 75 ohms, with the receiver disconnected from the mains.
4. Turn on the receiver, on the TV screen you will see the inscription "no signal". In order for the setting indicator to light up on the TV screen, press the buttons on the remote sequentially: menu, setting, manual search... The tuning indicator has two scales: "signal quality" and "signal strength". The adjustment should be carried out according to the "signal quality" scale. It should be borne in mind that the signal level is affected by the length of the cable from the receiver to the converter. With a long cable length, it is necessary to use special satellite amplifiers (the signal level differs by different models receivers).
Next, we adjust the antenna itself. Moving the antenna plane in elevation with an interval of 3-4 degrees from the position at which the antenna plane is directed perpendicular to the ground plane to approximately 80 degrees to the ground plane in both directions, rotate the antenna in azimuth on the bracket in a sector of approximately 20 degrees from the specified to the direction satellite (see point 2). The operations must be carried out sequentially: first, the elevation angle changes, then the antenna rotates. It is necessary to rotate the antenna slowly so as not to slip the direction to the satellite, the working sector of the reception (directional diagram) of the dish is only 2-2.5 degrees. When the image appears on the TV screen, you need to set the maximum signal level in the circles of the signal level indicator by moving the antenna in azimuth and elevation and finally tighten the antenna fastening nuts.
5. Enjoy your viewing!
It seems that nothing is free in this world, including television.
BUT this is still not the case!
TV pay never ... and that's my opinion!
Free television has existed and will continue to exist. Advertisers both paid for "free" television for viewers, and they pay ...
Your equipment is designed to receive ... SAT free channels.
The satellites also have a lot of paid channels, which can be decoded only if you conclude an agreement with the provider and receive a subscriber card.
Until you did it - you don't owe anyone anything!
However ... in addition about the Satellite Eutelsat W4 / W7 36 ° E. and SAT free channels.
Located in an orbital position of 36 degrees east longitude, consists of two satellites Eutelsat W4 and Eutelsat W7 36 ° E.
The Eutelsat W7 satellite was launched into orbit on November 24, 2009. to help the Eutelsat W4 satellite, which was launched on May 25, 2000. and is known to everyone who accepts satellite channels from well-known satellite television operators "NTV +" and "Tricolor TV".
The satellite has gained immense popularity for the entire Russian-speaking population of Europe due to its great diversity television channels that can be taken on satellite dish with a diameter of only 60 cm.
In total, from the satellite Eutelsat W4-W7 36 ° E. about 500 channels in Russian can be received.
For reception of television channels of satellite television from the satellite Eutelsat W4 / W7 36 ° E in Ukraine and Russia, it is enough to have a satellite dish with a diameter of 60-90 cm.
Moreover, the closer to 36 ° East longitude you are, the smaller the diameter of the satellite dish will be required.

In this article, we will consider the installation and tuning of a satellite dish on the Eutelsat 36A / 36B satellite broadcasting from a position of 36 ° East (36 degrees east longitude). This satellite is used to broadcast the most popular Russian TV operators NTV + and Tricolor, and broadcast in circular polarization. To receive circular polarization, a special KU-band converter is required. They come in different designs and can have either one output or 2-16 outputs. The main thing is to carefully read the inscription on the label. The circular polarization heads bear the inscription Circular LNB, Input Freq: 11.7-12.75 GHz, L.O. Freq 10.75GHz. Accordingly, the frequency of the local oscillator in the receiver settings should be set to 10750 MHz.
Unlike universal (dual-band) converters with linear polarization, circularly polarized converters have one range of 11.7GHz -12.75GHz. 
Broadcasting of television channels from a satellite is carried out using several transponders (transceiver devices), on different satellites their number. Each transponder (transceiver) has its own frequency, polarization, modulation, baud rate and other parameters. Circular polarization can have both right-handed and left-handed vibrations, and, depending on this, distinguish between right and left circular polarization. In most receivers, when adjusting the transponder parameters of such words as "right" and "left" polarization, you most likely will not find what to do in this case? When setting the right (R - right) polarization - in the receiver we choose vertical (V - vertical), which corresponds to the converter supply voltage of 14 volts, and when setting the left (L - left) polarization - in the receiver we choose horizontal (H - horizontal) , which corresponds to the converter supply voltage of 18 volts. 
Choosing the installation location and direction of the satellite dish:
In order to quickly install a satellite dish, you need to know the direction to our satellite. You can find out the direction with the help of a compass, the sun, a GPS navigator or nearby small-diameter dishes. Since the signal from the Eutelsat 36A / 36B satellite in the CIS countries is quite powerful, receive channels from this satellite even on small plates (0.6m).
The fastest and most accurate direction to the satellite can be found using the program This program will calculate the azimuth and elevation required for the installation and alignment of the dish, to any available satellite, at your geographic receiving point. You just need to set your geographic coordinates of the installation site - north latitude - "N", south latitude - "S". Likewise, east longitude is "E", west longitude is "W". After entering the coordinates into the program, on the left side of the table you will receive the calculated azimuth and elevation angles (elevation) of the antenna.
Azimuth- This is the direction to the satellite (in degrees), defined as the angle between the directions to the north and the satellite, found by the compass. Elevation angle- this direction, defined as the angle (in degrees) between the direction to the satellite and the plane of the earth at the receiving point, is determined using the program, measured using a protractor. A negative elevation angle means that the satellite is below the horizon and is not available for reception.
You can find out the coordinates of a place using the Yandex.Maps API service, or in any search engine, enter into the request: the coordinates of your location.
For example, let's calculate the Azimuth and the Elevation angle for the Eutelsat 36A / 36B (36E) satellite, our conditional location is Moscow. As a result, we get our Azimuth: 210.474 °, Elevation: 41.737 °.
Knowing the azimuth, we use the compass to determine our antenna direction. Be sure to check that the direction to the satellite is clear of high-rise buildings, trees and other obstacles.
Beforehand, you also need to set the Angle of elevation, the wonderful program "Satellite Antenna Alignment" will also help us with this. Since we will use an offset antenna during installation, it already has a certain angle of elevation (within 20-25 degrees). You leash need to measure and enter the dimensions of your offset antenna(height and width) and the program will calculate the exact elevation angle for that antenna. The calculation is performed only for antennas with a height greater than a width. Antenna dimensions are entered in millimeters in the "Offset antenna" tab. The elevation angle and the angle at which you need to actually install the antenna will also be shown here. 
So we have decided on the installation site and the angle of inclination of the antenna, now we need to firmly and securely fix our bracket on the wall of the building, on the roof of a high-rise building or on a mast. If we install the antenna on the wall of a building (this preferred option) then first you need to fix the bracket with fasteners, controlling the verticality of the bracket according to the water level.
Antenna preparation before tuning:
Before installing the antenna, it is necessary to assemble it and check the geometry. First, we fasten the arc to the mirror, then we install the mounts to the bracket and install the circular polarization converter.
Setting up a satellite dish:
Before tuning the dish, you need to prepare the equipment for tuning: it can be either a special SatFinder device with pre-selected transponders, or satellite receiver with a prepared set of transponders, set the frequency of the local oscillator of the head to 10750 MHz and a connected portable TV. We install the antenna on the bracket, set the azimuth on the compass (210 ° for Moscow), and use the goniometer to set the tilt angle of the dish (105 °). Using a piece of cable, we connect the receiver to the Eutelsat 36A / 36B convector.
The tuning should start with the strongest transponders and end with the weakest, achieving the maximum readings on the quality scale. Go to Receiver menu -> Antenna installation -> Channel search -> Satellite Eutelsat 36.0E, select any of the transponders listed in Table 1, and a scale for visual signal control should appear. I draw your attention to the fact that for each brand of receiver, the satellite setting item may be located in a different place, the setting scales are also different. It is convenient to have a receiver with a scale that can be deployed in full screen for tuning.
Tab. # 1. Satellite antenna transponder parameters:
| Satellite | Transponder | Channel for visual inspection |
| Eutelsat 36B / 36C | 11900 R (V) 27500 | TV1000 Russkoe Kino, Viasat Sport East, EuroNews |
| 11977 R (V) 27500 | Moya Planeta, Nauka 2.0, Ru TV | |
| 12130 R (V) 27500 | Nat Geo Wild HD, Mezzo Live HD, Perviy kanal HD | |
| 12303 L (H) 27500 | Soyuz, TV2-TV |
By smoothly and slowly rotating the antenna in the horizontal direction, we scan the horizon with the antenna, after which we slightly change the vertical angle of the antenna and again repeat the scan horizontally. All these actions must be performed slowly, continuously observing changes in the quality scale readings, until a signal appears. If the signal appears, it is necessary to stop, slightly tighten the screws that fix the angles of rotation and tilt, and with slight slight movements up and down, left and right, achieve maximum level signal on the scale. Then we firmly fix the screws for fastening the tilt angle and the angle of rotation of the plate. Next, we proceed to fine tuning converter, for this we rotate it a little bit in the holder, you can also move it a little back and forth along the holder, while achieving maximum readings on the QUALITY scale.
VERY IMPORTANT MOMENT! We need to make sure that the antenna is tuned specifically to our Eutelsat 36A / 36B satellite, and not to some other one. To do this, scan the transponders from table 1 and turn on NTV Plus Infokanal, or another, then a picture should appear (if the channel is not encoded). If the channels were not scanned or were scanned but the wrong ones, then the antenna is tuned to another satellite, and the tuning should be repeated. When everything is done, it is necessary to tighten all the adjusting screws, focusing on the maximum readings of the signal scale. Let me remind you once again that final setting should be done with weak transponders. 
That's it, the antenna setup is finished, it remains to lead the cable to the stationary TV, connect the tuner, scan all the transponders, sort the channels by subject and enjoy the picture quality.
Happy viewing!
