Beeline application for Smart TV - what is it?
In 2021, Beeline introduced a new product of its own production - an application for TVs that support the Smart function. Installing it on TV opens up a lot of advantages:
- watching a variety of children's and adult TV channels (including in HD quality);
- ease of design and search, selection of recommendations;
- when purchasing some packages, gaining access to a library of films;
- a modern player, during viewing through which you can: pause, rewind the videos forward and backward;
- installation of parental control services. Thanks to it, it is possible to set a password for some channels, activated packages, and show movies from the library.
What you need to use
The Beeline TV application for Smart TV is available to all owners of Samsung, LG, Philips, Sony smart TVs (manufactured after 2016), Mi-Box set-top boxes or other receivers that support Android OS.
The main condition for using any application on Smart TVs is a high-speed Internet connection (with a speed of at least 10 Mb/s). Next you need to prepare the device for connecting to the Internet:
- router, if Wi-Fi data transfer is selected;
- cable of the required length for a wireless connection.
When setting up the Internet for the TV is completed, all that remains is to download the program from the store. This happens for free, similar to downloading applications in the regular Play Market.
What is mobile TV
Now with the mobile TV service, your smartphone or tablet can replace your TV. The service operates via 3G/4G and WIFI throughout Russia for Beeline subscribers. On an ongoing basis, you have access to 8 free channels such as: Channel One, Russia-1, Russia-2, NTV, Channel Five, Russia-K, Russia-24 and Karusel. A big plus is that traffic when watching TV is not charged and you can enjoy your favorite TV shows as much as you like. To increase the number of channels, you can connect paid packages, which can be found here.
Possible malfunctions and their elimination
There are cases when Beeline TV stops showing, interruptions and interference occur during viewing. The cause of the problems should be sought among several relevant ones:
- Unstable Internet connection or slow speed. Test it on another device, use the speed counter (the result should not be less than 10 MB/s). If this is indeed the reason, then contact your provider.
- There are insufficient funds in the account. It happens that the user forgot to top up the balance and pay for the new month. In this case, the display is blocked. You need to deposit money into your account and then you can resume watching.
- Technical problems with the service itself. Problems happen everywhere and Beeline is no exception. Very rarely, but still subscribers could notice such failures. In this case, you will have to wait until specialists debug the broadcast.
- The device itself (TV, set-top box) broke down. A common problem is firmware crashes. Most likely you will need to consult a specialist. The specialist will determine the nature of the problem and suggest solutions. It's better not to experiment on your own.
Above it was described in detail what the Beeline application is, which allows you to watch TV channels on Smart TVs. Based on the above, the following conclusions can be drawn:
- the offer is quite convenient;
- has a nice interface, functional player;
- it is possible to install it not only from official stores;
- There is a wide range of packages (movies, TV series, cartoons) and TV channels.
How to use the service
In order to use the mobile TV service from Beeline, install the “Mobile TV” application from the Google play app store, AppStore and Windows PhoneMarketplace. Or you can download the application by following the link.
I would like to note that when you first connect to paid channels, you must be connected to the mobile Internet from Beeline so that your device is assigned a unique identifier. Afterwards you will be able to use the mobile TV service both through the Beeline network and via WIFI.
Features of installing and configuring the Beeline TV application
Let's consider alternative ways to install the Beeline TV application on Smart TV, as well as detailed instructions for connecting the Internet to the TV.
Installation via computer
When it is not possible to download an application in a regular store, you can try downloading it using your home computer. Let's look at the algorithm using the example of a Samsung N series TV (it will be similar on other TVs):
- download the archive and installer to your computer;
- unzip them into one folder;
- open HFS installer;
- find the designation of the IP address of the local network;
- change it: delete the old one and insert the IP of your PC;
- transfer downloaded files to the file system (HFS);
- open the TV menu, log out of your account;
- log in to a new account by entering the login: developed, and leaving the password blank;
- click “Login”;
- select any installed widget and hold the button on it on the remote control (central).
After this, a menu should open on the screen, and in it you need to select Settings, where you need to find the item for changing the IP address and enter your computer data. All you have to do is enter the menu again and click on the “Smart User App Sync” item, the Beeline TV application should appear in the general list of programs.
Installation from external media
Another way to install a widget from Beeline on a Smart TV, but for this you will need a formatted flash drive. Next you need to follow these step-by-step instructions:

- unpack it into a folder and copy it to removable media;
- insert the flash card into the TV;
- a new one should appear in the widget menu;
- open it, enter your Beeline account information and you can start using it.
The disadvantage of this method is the dependence on the card; if you remove it, the program will disappear.
Setting up a connection via wired or wireless connection
To set up Smart TV for the Internet, you need to choose a method (wired or not). Let's look at each of them.
If it is not possible to use distribution from the router, you need to prepare a wire with a LAN port and then:

- Go to the network settings menu and select “Connection type”, “Cable”.
- After this, the TV should go online automatically.

If you have several TVs
To link multiple devices and connect interactive TV, you must follow the following algorithm:
- First of all, you need to configure the router, connect the access point and check that the Wi-Fi router is functioning properly. Make sure that the data transmission and reception speed is sufficient for the interactive TV to work. After this, you need to connect the TV and set-top box to the network;
- It is necessary to synchronize the router and the set-top box using a patch cable. The connection uses USB ports on both devices. On the console they are on the side;
- In the picture, the HDMI port is highlighted in yellow; you need to insert the appropriate cable into it. The TV is also connected using this cable. Monitor the connection and signal transmission by the backlighting of the indicators. It may take time (up to 15 minutes) for synchronization, then the user will be able to switch channels;
- From the main switch the wire needs to be routed to all other set-top boxes in the apartment and configured. You will need to synchronize the operation of the remote control. Now users will be able to watch different channels on their devices independently of each other.
Synchronization is also possible via Wi-Fi, but the provider does not guarantee the quality of the image and data transfer. If the user has signed up for a home Internet connection and interactive TV at the same time, then in this case the company undertakes to provide the services of a technician to the client’s home. The operator will contact the subscriber and specify a time convenient for setting up the devices. In this case, you can ask the customizer to link the gadgets and not have to do it yourself.
Where can you turn off Beeline home Internet for a while?
As mentioned above, you can suspend the provision of provider services in your personal account for up to 90 days. In the same way, you can contact the specified phone number so that the operator will do this for you. Another option is to come to a service point with documents and ask to temporarily block access to the network.
