New service "Multiroom" MTS - description and connection

Today, two or three TVs in a house or apartment will not surprise anyone. However, different family members may have their own preferences. This means that it is necessary to organize MTS satellite TV on 2 TVs so that on each of the connected devices you can watch channels that are different from each other. Switching is done in different ways. But one thing remains the same: each TV will need its own set-top box or CI module.

Connecting 2 TVs to one antenna

The best way for a family is to use one satellite dish, sending the signal to 2 TVs. You can connect each device in several ways. They all have both advantages and disadvantages.

Via splitter

A splitter is a fairly simple device. It is inexpensive, has one input and a group of outputs. The connection diagram for several TVs looks like this:

• the cable from the antenna is connected to the splitter input;
• Wires go from the outputs of the device to each of the TVs.

This method has many disadvantages. A simple splitter does not provide sufficient shielding from interference. In addition, a drop in signal level is observed at each of the outputs. And the more TVs the user wants to connect, the less guarantee he has to get a high-quality image on them.

Via converter

Installing a converter with two outputs allows you to easily connect a second TV to MTS TV. A device of this class is quite affordable for the average user. The connection diagram is also not difficult:

• the converter is installed in its regular place, on the support post of the antenna unit, the tilt is adjusted;
• A cable is sent from each output to the set-top box or CI module of the TV.

In this way, you can connect up to 8 devices to one antenna without a drop in signal quality. This is the main advantage of the method.

He has one drawback. The user may simply not have a sufficient level of qualifications to mount the converter and configure it correctly and connect it to the antenna unit. He will have to call an MTS specialist or resort to other outside help. And this means additional costs, both time and money.

Via multiswitch

Using a multiswitch is the most expensive method. It is irrational if you want to connect two or three TVs to one antenna. The multiswitch is designed for switching several signals and distributing them to consumers, the number of which exceeds 8 units. However, a multiswitch will be indispensable if it is necessary to combine a group of antennas and a large number of televisions into a single network.

Let's move on to connection

Many owners of satellite receivers and set-top boxes are wondering how to connect a second TV. The fact is that, technologically, this equipment (with some exceptions) does not provide connection to more than one TV. Secondly, you need to buy an additional receiver or set-top box. For digital television from Rostelecom, Beeline and HD TV from Dom.ru, the correct connection diagram for the second TV is as follows:

To connect a second TV, you will need a special splitter, each of which is connected with a separate cable.

Unfortunately, the financial problem often turns out to be decisive, and people try to save in every possible way. So when they look at the presence of multiple connectors on the back of the digital receiver, they conclude that they can still use one set for two TVs. Yes, in fact it is possible, but with some restrictions that will be unacceptable for many.

1. The same channel will be displayed on both TVs.
2. The console will be used alone. Changing the channel will require moving to the next room to the receiver.
3. You need to buy long interface cables and this can be a little expensive. A 15-meter HDMi cable costs about 2,500 rubles. Tulips will be cheaper, but there is a limitation: interference starts from 15 meters.

If this doesn't bother you, we'll continue. You can connect a second TV to a satellite receiver or IPTV decoder in one of the following ways:

Connecting 2 or more TVs to one set-top box

If you connect a second TV to the MTS set-top box, the same channel will be broadcast on both devices. At first glance, this doesn't make any sense. However, if we imagine a situation where a subscriber wants to move from room to room, from a building on a plot of land to another, and at the same time not miss his favorite TV show, two TVs on one set-top box are quite convenient. Today there are many solutions that allow you to organize full-featured switching of this kind.

Switching methods

There are many ways to connect two TVs to one set-top box.

1. Connection to different outputs of the set-top box. There can be quite a lot of them: analog RCA, SCART, HDMI, high-frequency RF.
2. Through a splitter via high-frequency radio channel output.
3. Using HDMI, RCA splitters.
4. Using extenders for HDMI and RCA interfaces.

The extender consists of two modules, a receiver and a transmitter. The latter outputs a signal to the first TV and broadcasts it. The second TV connects to the receiver and has its own IR port. Commands from the remote control are transmitted in the opposite direction to the module connected to the set-top box.

Thus, a user, even from a neighboring room or building, can switch channels and use other functionality. And if you consider that the range of wireless HDMI and RCA extenders can be 500 meters or more, it is clear how easy it is to build a large-scale signal exchange network if there is such a need.

Disadvantages of the method

As mentioned above, the main disadvantage of connecting two TVs to one set-top box is the same broadcast channel on both devices. There are other disadvantages to each method. Connecting to different ports places excessive stress on the electronic components of the set-top box.

When using a radio channel output splitter, you will have to put up with a drop in signal level or spend money installing intermediate amplifiers. And the use of HDMI, RCA extenders, although it offers maximum possibilities, will require significant financial expenses.

How to connect a set-top box to 2 TVs

Connecting Beeline TV to two TVs can be done in several ways. When using an additional cable or splitter, you can only watch one program on both TVs. To obtain individual control, you must enable the Multiroom function. Below we will consider each of the options, giving the pros and cons.

Direct connection

The easiest way is to directly connect the second TV to Beeline TV using an additional cord. Take the following steps:

1. Examine the number and availability of connectors on the set-top box. There should be at least two of them - HDMI and RCA.
2. Buy a longer RCA or HDMI cable. When calculating the length, consider where the second TV will be installed. If the length is not enough, F connectors may be required for RCA connections. As for HDMI, finding a long version is unlikely to be difficult. They are 10-15 m or more.
3. Connect the first TV via RCA (for example), and the second via HDMI. You can do the opposite depending on how long the wire you found.
4. Set each TV to the desired signal source using the Input, TV / AV, etc. button.

In this way, you can quickly connect 2 TVs to Beeline and watch from different rooms. In this case, identical channels will be shown on both devices.

Pros:

• ease of implementation;
• no large additional costs (only an additional cable is required);
• ease of setup.

Minuses:

• both TVs will have the same Beeline programs;
• to change the channel you need to go to the room where the set-top box is installed;
• possible risk of signal loss.

Via splitter/RF modulator

The next way to connect 2 TVs to Beeline TV is to do this using a special RF modulator. The task of the device is to convert low-frequency audio and video signals into the decimeter range. You also need a splitter - a frequency divider designed to separate video and audio into several TV devices. Depending on the model used, the number of outputs can be from one to eight.

To connect a second TV to the Beeline set-top box, take the following steps:

1. Connect an RF modulator to the tuner.
2. Connect a splitter to the RF modulator output.
3. Use a divider to distribute channels to the required number of TVs.
4. Cover unused outputs with resistors.

When choosing splitters, please note that they come in two types:

1. Active. Provide additional signal processing and amplification. For these purposes, additional voltage is applied through the power supply.
2. Passive. They distribute the Beeline TV signal to 2 or more TVs without additional processing. This option is not suitable if the signal is weak because it deteriorates with each new connection.

This method of connecting one Beeline set-top box to two or more TV receivers is suitable when the devices are located in different parts of the building and must show the same channel. This situation is relevant for shops, offices or in a situation where only one person lives in an apartment.

Pros:

• comparative simplicity of the connection diagram of the set-top box;
• no limits on the number of TVs;
• high quality image.

Minuses:

• it is necessary to purchase additional equipment;
• the ability to watch the same programs on all TVs connected to one set-top box;
• To change the channel you need to be in the same room as the receiver.

Multiroom

The most convenient way to connect a second TV to Beeline TV is to use it from your provider. The function is free to connect and allows you to watch different channels on different receivers. The peculiarity is that for each TV you need to connect an individual Beeline set-top box. You don't have to buy it - just rent it.

To activate the service, do the following:

1. Choose one of the tariff plans beeline.ru/customers/products/home/kit.
2. Order a connection.
3. Inform about the need for an additional Beeline set-top box.

Existing subscribers can order equipment through their personal account or by dialing the phone number 8-800-70-080-00. The system's capabilities allow you to use one tuner with a recording function, and the rest without it. Thanks to device synchronization, you can record programs on any TV. You can connect the Beeline set-top box yourself or leave a request to visit a specialist at the telephone number indicated above.

Pros:

• ease of control;
• the ability to watch individual programs on each TV.

Flaws:

• additional costs for renting a set-top box.

Description of MTS kits for 2 TV

MTS fully understands the needs of its subscribers and offers ready-made solutions for connecting two TVs to one antenna. These are kits consisting of a 600 or 900 mm deflector, a two-output converter, a pair of attachments or CI modules. The cost of equipment, regardless of class, is 8,000 rubles.

It should be especially noted that additional TVs will cost subscribers less. The subscription fee for the first viewing device is 195 rubles per month. The Multiscreen service, as well as kits for 2 TVs, allows you to watch individual channels on a second TV for only 70 rubles per month. The third device connected in an apartment or house will cost the same amount.

ATTENTION!

Many families now have two or even more televisions, and on each of them they want to have a wide selection of channels. Of course, you can connect each TV to its own antenna, but there are cheaper methods.

There are different ways to connect multiple TVs to one antenna, and in this article we will talk in detail about each of them:

1. by installing a cable splitter (divider)
2. using a converter with two outputs
3. via multiswitch

The above connection methods assume the presence of a separate satellite receiver for each TV. At the end of the article you will also find information on how to connect several TVs to one set-top box, if necessary.

TV signal divider

Connecting two TVs to one receiver is done using a TV signal splitter. When purchasing a signal divider, the diagram for such a connection is located on the device body itself. Let's start with television cable.

Connecting a TV cable

First you need to decide where you will cut the TV cable to connect the two cables to the TV signal splitter. You will receive one regular TV cable that receives its signal from an antenna connected to the TV signal splitter jack.

Now let's get acquainted with the connection diagram for two TVs with one antenna. In this case, the signal from the television antenna is distributed through a television signal divider and supplied via cable to the television socket.

Junction box

This embodiment describes a method for connecting two televisions in which cable wires can be connected in a junction box. The connected pins of the TV cable signal cables are etched and soldered with tin solder. Connection to a common cable occurs in parallel.

How to connect two TVs to one antenna

Connection diagram via divider

Connection diagram via converter

TV splitter

Other device names: cable splitter, divider, CRAB

The essence of the method: separating the signal from one cable into two cables.

It is important to remember that if you choose this method, the signal quality may deteriorate, which will affect the picture and sound of TV programs. Therefore, when choosing to connect 2 TVs through a divider, be sure that the source signal is sufficiently strong. If you connect 3 or more TVs, use a signal amplifier (installed on the cable next to the antenna).

A cable splitter cannot be used if the satellite operator uses different polarization for different channels (for example, Tricolor). In this case, connect a converter with two outputs.

How to choose a cable splitter

When choosing a cable splitter, consider the following parameters:

1. Bandwidth Different types of television signals (terrestrial, cable, satellite) have different frequencies, so the splitter must have the appropriate frequency bandwidth. For example, for terrestrial television, support for frequencies of 5 - 1000 mHz is sufficient, but for satellite television, a band of 5 - 2400 mHz is needed. That is, a divider for satellite TV can be used for terrestrial TV, but not vice versa.
2. Number of outputs It is easy to understand that you need as many outputs as the number of TVs you plan to connect. There are television splitters with 2, 3, 4, 6 or 8 outputs. In order not to “wastely” weaken the signal, it is recommended to purchase a divider with the number of outputs needed right now. These devices are not that expensive, and when you buy another TV, you can replace the splitter with another one with the required number of outputs. If you still buy a device “for growth,” install a resistor on unused outputs that will absorb excess voltage in the circuit (up to 75 Ohms).
3. Cable connection method - screw clamp: suitable for cables of any diameter and does not require soldering - thread: only for thin cables, does not require soldering - coaxial sockets: cable diameter is not important, connection via plugs - splitters requiring soldering: the most reliable connection, but need special skills
4. Signal attenuation indicator Information about this can be found on the case or in the instructions for the television splitter. The lower the signal attenuation, the better.
5. Manufacturer Recommended manufacturers of cable splitters: Lans, Rexant, Premier, Alda, Hama, Sat

How to connect

1. Select installation location The divider is placed as close to the TVs as possible, minimizing the cable length after branching if possible.
2. Cut the cable at the selected installation location
3. Connect the cable to the splitter input via the F-connector or in another way (more about connecting via the F-connector)
4. Cut cables for connecting TVs
5. Connect the cable sections to the splitter outputs and to the connectors of receivers/TVs

With one application, all services will be suspended—there is no need to suspend each one separately.

In addition, you decide for yourself for how long to use this service. The maximum period is 63 days in 12 months. Moreover, you can use “Pause” up to nine times for 7 days. 1 month use costs 100 rubles. In this article, you learned what “Multiroom” from MTS is, what types of services exist, how much they cost, and what equipment is needed to connect it. Now you know that you can use interactive TV even when connecting to satellite TV and save your money when you leave home for a long time.

The functioning of satellite television is based on the need to receive, decode and transmit a signal with a satellite. This process is ensured by a special receiver that connects to the dish and TV. MTS satellite TV for 2 TVs allows you to use one subscription on several devices, which eliminates the need to purchase several sets of devices. This issue also requires additional study, since here we can highlight the possibility of working with a converter, multiswitch and RF modulator. Each technology offers a unique operating principle that may be suitable for a specific situation.

In this material we will look at:

• how to connect satellite television from Mobile TeleSystems to several TVs;
• principles of operation of different technologies and their capabilities for everyday use;
• pros and cons that affect the comfort of watching your favorite programs;
• total cost of service and the possibility of additional savings.

How to connect MTS Multiroom?

There are 3 main ways to connect MTS:

1. Activate the option in the subscriber’s personal account.
2. Visit the nearest provider office and ask the managers working there to connect the option.
3. Call the contact center (88002500890) and launch the option through support consultants.

In each case, clients should think about paying for the equipment in a timely manner and paying a subscription fee for activation without the required amount in the account will not be possible.

Settings and specifying the required number of TVs are made using the same methods as connection. Deactivation will also require visiting your personal account or calling consultants.

How to connect MTS satellite TV to two TVs

To enjoy watching your favorite programs on several TVs at the same time, you can:

1. purchase several sets of equipment, connecting them to each device;
2. use some additional devices.

MTS satellite TV on two TVs can also be organized using:

• TV splitter. A special cable splitter allows you to divide the signal into several devices, and it may be necessary to install a signal amplifier to maintain good image quality;
• converter with multiple outputs. It has a similar operating principle to the above method and can interact with different satellite television operators, working with different polarization;
• multiswitch An additional device that receives signals from different antennas. You can connect more than 8 outputs to additional receivers.

It is worth noting that this way you will be able to broadcast only one television channel to several devices, which is a technical feature. To comfortably use television services, you need to connect your own kits from the telecommunications operator.

How many TVs can be connected to 1 set-top box

Many people ask whether it is possible to connect Beeline TV to 3 TVs or more devices. Here a lot depends on the method you prefer and the quality of the signal. Let's consider different options:

1. With a direct connection (first method), the number of connections is limited by the number of connectors. In most cases, you can only use two TVs, that is, one additional one.
2. There are no restrictions when using a splitter. Theoretically, you can connect at least 10 or more TVs to the Beeline set-top box. Another thing is that when using a passive device, the quality will deteriorate with each new connection. To avoid such consequences, it is necessary to use an active splitter. At the same time, we must not forget that in all cases only one channel will be shown on all receivers.

As you can see, there are two main ways to connect one Beeline set-top box to two TVs. But in this case, the same program will be shown on all TVs, and control will be possible only from the room where the tuner is located. It is best to rent an additional receiver for 230 rubles/month and is able to watch Beeline television up to 4 TVs.

In the comments, tell us which of the above methods you have already used or plan to try in the near future.

Price

The total cost of monthly service depends on the chosen method of organizing MTS TV broadcast to 2 TVs. In the case of a splitter, you will only have to spend money on an inexpensive splitter and cable for installation. Other methods will cost more, while guaranteeing more stable operation.

If we consider the official offers from MTS, then you can purchase an MTS TV set for two TVs with 2 CAM modules or set-top boxes for 8,000 rubles. This price includes:

• 2 modules;
• antenna with a diameter of 0.6 m with a bracket for reliable fastening;
• converter and f-connectors;
• cable 40 meters long;
• a package of paper documentation and instructions.

Connection to one antenna

As we have already indicated above, the most stable way is to purchase a branded set. Let's take a closer look at the principle of operation of such a solution, pointing out the pros and cons.

Converter with two outputs

This device works on the following principle:

1. On one side, a cable from the satellite is connected, which serves to receive and transmit the central signal;
2. The converter offers to connect 2 outgoing cables, which are connected to separate receivers included in the basic set. The capabilities of this technical device allow you to separately process the signal from each set-top box, which allows you to watch different channels on connected TVs.

Advantages and disadvantages

Clients note mainly the positive aspects of this solution:

• reliability;
• ease of installation;
• extended kit, including all necessary fasteners, cables and adapters;
• the possibility of simultaneous separate operation of several TVs using one tariff plan.

The downside is the cost of the proposal, which affected the development of simplified alternatives.

To one receiver

If you do not want to purchase an expensive set, you can always use simplified methods for separating the signal from one receiver. A multiswitch and an RF modulator will help you here.

Using Multiswitch

Using a multiswitch, you can connect several satellites or terrestrial antennas to the receiver. A modern device allows you to connect more than 8 TVs, allowing work with different telecommunications operators (polarization may vary). In basic home conditions, using this method is not advisable:

1. high cost of equipment and the need to purchase additional attachments for comfortable work;
2. makes sense when connecting to more than 8 TVs, which is not in demand among basic clients.

Via RF modulator

An RF modulator is a small device that allows you to divide the signal from one receiver to several TVs. At the same time, it is characterized by low cost and ease of installation. The customer will need to purchase the cable and appropriate fixing for installation. The main disadvantage of this method is the ability to watch only one channel, which is turned on on the set-top box.
