How to officially disable your Rostelecom home antenna

The Russian telecommunications company Rostelecom provides a wide range of services, which includes television.

Once upon a time, a collective antenna was the only means of watching television. Payment for it is included in the general payment document for the services provided src=»https://rostelecomguru.ru/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/kollektivnaya-antenna.jpg» class=»aligncenter» width=»637″ height=» 401″[/img]

With the advent of a large number of technologies for watching TV channels, most TV owners have a desire to turn off the Rostelecom television antenna and choose a more modern option.

Rostelecom no longer provides for the installation of a home antenna. For customers who prefer connecting to digital television, Rostelecom offers an antenna, which is a special set-top box. To stop paying for a collective account, you should disable it.

Rostelecom TV: antenna with analog channels

Potential clients often ask what programs they will receive from the Rostelecom collective antenna, and how much it will cost to connect to such a service. At the moment, the telecommunications company provides many popular channels and diverse additional package offers for any client, the cost of which is indicated on the company’s official website. To understand how expedient and convenient an activity can be called connecting an antenna to a Rostelecom TV, you need to understand what a modern analogue television service is and how it is connected.

As a rule, the presence of this service means that you will use a common house antenna, with the help of which you can watch the channels and TV shows that interest you.

Important!

Despite the name, connecting a common house antenna occurs separately for each new user, since to perform this action it is necessary to connect the equipment and the TV using a special cable.

Connecting the set-top box to the TV

To connect, you need the TV itself, and there must also be a router in the house that distributes the Internet. Perform the following steps sequentially:

1. Connect the set-top box to the power supply. Do not plug into the outlet yet.
2. Go to your router settings. In the "IPTV" section, select "IGMP Proxy".
3. You need to set the “Bridge” mode, determine the LAN port number.
4. Save the settings and then reboot the router.
5. Connect the router and the set-top box with an Internet cable, observing the LAN port number selected in the settings.
6. If the TV is equipped with an HDMI input, then the connection between the set-top box and TV must be done through it. To do this, you will need an HDMI cable, especially since it will provide improved image quality. If there is no cable, use the “tulips” that come with the console.
7. Connect the set-top box to the network.
8. Turn on the set-top box using the remote control, select the appropriate signal source in the menu (buttons “AV” or “TV”) - either “HDMI” or “VGA”.
9. The loading screen will appear on the TV screen.
10. Using the remote control, enter the username/password that you will find in the agreement with the provider.

Usually after a few seconds an image appears on the screen with all available channels. But sometimes after the first connection the firmware of the set-top box is updated.

Note! Sometimes, after successfully completing the TV set-top box-router (router) assembly, the set-top box firmware is updated. Therefore, you just need to reboot the entire assembled circuit by disconnecting it from the power sources for 10 seconds.

Rostelecom television: antenna and channels that will be available for viewing

Having understood the feasibility of using the proposed technology for watching TV, you need to find out in more detail about the conditions under which you will cooperate with Rostelecom. Today, Rostelecom offers package offers with Internet and television at affordable prices, but we consider exclusively analog TV. After you have paid for the service you can view more than 50 channels,

in the list of which you can find:

• General federal TV channels, basic channels such as First, STS, Match-TV and others.
• Children's TV channels, which include, for example, MULT and Disney.
• News channels.
• Educational and entertaining broadcasts.
• Channels with the theme of films and TV series.
• Sports TV channels.

By connecting a home television antenna, each family member will be able to find the most relevant TV programs that he or she will like. The small number of TV channels available for viewing is justified by the fact that the most interesting and popular TV channels were included in the list.

Antenna from Rostelecom for collective use

As a rule, a person has enough of several popular channels to watch news and favorite programs. In such a situation, purchasing an individual package becomes economically unjustified. Rostelecom's home antenna allows you to access standard TV channels at an affordable price. Let's take a closer look at this proposal and the options for connecting to a collective TV signal receiver.

The company itself considers this method obsolete and actively promotes individual services. Meanwhile, for a symbolic subscription fee of around 200 rubles per month, the user gets access to watch 51 channels.

As mentioned above, if watching TV is not a priority in the media space of the apartment, this number of channels is more than enough. Another significant advantage of using collective equipment is the ability to activate several television receivers within one apartment. You can put a TV in the living room, kitchen and bedroom, and pay for one.

Important! If there is a connection to a common house device, you need to contact support with a request to disconnect the home antenna. Otherwise, you will have to pay for unused services.

How to connect a Rostelecom antenna

After you have made your choice and are interested in the offer, you need to figure out how to connect the Rostelecom antenna to your TV. The connection process is quite simple and clear, and will not cause difficulties for any client.

How to create a connection request?

You can create an application for connecting a public antenna to Rostelecom TV by calling and telling the operator your address, phone number and full name, after which a support representative will contact you and discuss the price, connection time and other details with you.

After connecting and installing the Rostelecom home antenna, payment for the service will be made using a single payment document, where the corresponding column will appear; It is also possible to pay for the service in other ways - for example, using various payment terminals or at a Sberbank branch, as well as through the Sberbank Online mobile bank.
