Most people spend a significant part of their lives in front of their television screens, watching interesting television programs. Traditional TV has long been replaced by satellite and cable TV. However, interactive TV competes with them. The ability to connect television to a cable appeared in the late 80s, it became satellite in the mid-90s, and interactive in the early 2000s.

Each type of connection has its own nuances, settings, advantages, conditions and service packages.

Previously, an analog type of cable connection signal was used. Today it has been replaced by the digital format. The latter type is the most popular due to the high screen clarity and sound quality, complete absence of interference.

To transfer data from the analog standard, a BNC cable is used; and for digital format they resort to twisted pair or optical fiber.

In addition to analog and digital signals, interactive Internet TV has also begun to be widely used. Its advantage is that it allows you to record any program, pause, rewind and save. That is, TV can be watched not only online, but also after completion - from a saved list in the storage medium.

Another advantage of an interactive signal is that you can choose the optimal package of channels at your discretion, create individual content based on available channels, watch videos, connect to karaoke, set age restrictions on certain TV channels, and play online games. Payment is made from the TV screen.

How to connect?

Connecting television to cable networks is done in the following way.

It may be necessary to purchase and install additional accessories. For example, TV does not support wide resolution, so you will need to buy and install a set-top box.

What does a TV user get?

• access to different TV channels;
• to watch videos;
• to interactive applications: online games, exchange rates, etc.

The analog signal has SD quality: standard, as in regular terrestrial TV, and the digital signal has HD quality and higher.

Cable TV connection

There are two methods to connect and set up television:

• By cable from the provider. This method is more common in urban areas. A wire from the transfer case is pulled to each apartment. You can install Wi-Fi, or you can cope without it. You need to pay for the service monthly and you can enjoy exciting TV channels. For those wishing to connect an interactive type of signal, you need to include additional Internet services in the package.
• By telephone wire. Relevant for those who have a home phone. It is very convenient to use, as it is possible to communicate on the phone and watch TV at the same time. A switch is installed in the telephone wire, from which one wire goes to the telephone, the second is connected to the modem or decoder. The latter is connected to the TV using a cable.

Cost of services and tariffs

Connection costs approximately 300-500 rubles.

Monthly payment for cable TV varies from approximately 120 to 200 rubles. If digital TV is connected to the Internet, then the monthly subscription fee ranges from 450 to 600 rubles.

Which cable TV is better to connect?

The most popular operators for providing TV services are:

• Rostelecom;
• "Tricolor";
• Beeline;
• "MTS".

A “dish” or satellite is installed on the wall or roof of the house on the south side. It receives a signal from a TV station and transmits it to the TV. This option is widely used in private houses in villages. They use it in small villages more often, since the signal from the satellite is received in any case, regardless of what kind of connection it is.

How to connect?

1. Buy the kit required to install satellite TV. It consists of a dish, devices for mounting the satellite, receiving equipment, cable, and connector.
2. Invite a specialist to install and configure a satellite signal.
3. Pay a subscription fee.

Satellite dishes have a high-definition HD format.

Satellite TV connection

It is not as simple as a cable connection. In this regard, it is recommended to invite a specialist, since the process is more labor-intensive. The user manual is difficult to understand. And one more nuance of installation is that you not only need to connect the wires, as with a cable connection, but you also need to catch the correct signal from the satellite. That is, point the satellite in a certain way so that communication appears.

Connection price and tariffs

The price for a set varies from 6,000 to 30,000 rubles. Depends on the operator, the quality of the satellite system and its diameter.

Calling a specialist to your home will cost approximately 1500-2000 rubles.

The most popular television network operators provide the opportunity to watch standard channels for free without paying a monthly fee. Additional channels and services will cost about 150-400 rubles. monthly.

Which satellite TV is better to connect?

In some localities, a good signal is received only from 1-2 companies. Regarding quality and connection, it is best to ask those who are already using this type of connection. When connecting to satellite TV, it is advisable to contact the TV service provider that is most popular. This provides great benefits.

For example, you can ask for technical support or advice at any time via a toll-free hotline, assistance from equipment installation specialists, and the ability to order a complete set of equipment and connections at the same time.

This is a modern television network that has both television and the Internet at the same time. This combination makes it more unique, exciting and provides a fantastic user experience.

Depending on the economic capabilities and scale of the user's TV ranges from regular SD to 3D and ultra HD formats.

Connecting interactive TV

2 methods are used:

1. By cable from the provider. This method is more common in urban areas. A wire from the transfer case is pulled to each apartment. You can install Wi-Fi, or you can cope without it. You need to pay for the service monthly and you can enjoy exciting TV channels. For those interested, the interactive type of signal must be included in the “Additional Internet Services” package.
2. By telephone wire. Relevant for those who have a home phone. It is very convenient to use, as it is possible to communicate on the phone and watch TV at the same time. A switch is installed in the telephone wire, from which one wire goes to the telephone, the second to the modem or decoder.

Service cost

Connection and installation varies from 0 to 500 rubles.

Payment is about 200-1500 rubles/month. Depends on the operator brand, desired connection parameters and service package.

You can connect digital television along with the Internet. In this case, subscriber The service fee will be 350-2000 rubles monthly.

Which interactive TV is best to connect?

Undoubtedly, the major companies providing interactive TV services are:

• Rostelecom;
• Beeline.

Note to users

When choosing the type of TV, you must be guided by the parameters of convenience and quality of television. In private homes in populated areas, installation of satellite TV will be a priority due to good and accessible communications at any time. And for residents of apartment buildings, it will be more convenient to install cable TV, since it can be installed independently, and the quality is not inferior to satellite television.

And unlike the latter, it does not require a balcony facing south. And the interactive TV model is the most worthy and modern alternative to the first two. It is not much different in price, but it is more interesting and unique in its properties.

Russia is actively moving from analogue to digital TV. In principle, this is a completely natural process, since the improved signal transmission format allows you to broadcast the highest quality image. All users are concerned about how to connect digital television.

To begin with, this is an available standard, not some privileged feature. Note that today about 20 free TV channels are available to each user, depending on the region.

You need to set up digital television broadcasting at a minimum to watch your favorite channels with clear sound and high-quality images. However, first you have to purchase special equipment.

Channels in digital format are broadcast in packages, which are commonly called multiplexes. At this stage, Russian subscribers are offered 2 free multiplexes, each of which has 10 TV channels.

Advantages of digital television

Digital TV is a new signal transmission technology that provides broadcasting high-quality images and clear sound. Connecting digital television opens up completely new opportunities for each user, for example, you can watch broadcasts in HD quality. Naturally, analog TV cannot boast of this.

The concept of the technology under consideration is as simple and understandable as possible. Picture and sound are transmitted over radio waves in the form of separate streams. In general, this process resembles the connection between a computer and the Internet. Therefore, digital TV can be compared to watching YouTube from a computer.

In addition, it is thanks to this algorithm that providers will be able to send much more television and radio programs. A large number of channels is not the only advantage. The functionality has, in principle, expanded significantly; interactive TV has appeared. You can pause your favorite show or record it to your hard drive.

The main advantages of the new television signal transmission technology:

• high image quality;
• clear and rich sound;
• broadcasting medical content in HD format;
• available different language versions of the same program;
• blocking pre-selected TV channels.

It is worth connecting a digital TV antenna at a minimum because all modern TV models are designed to play content in HD format. Regular analogue airwaves are simply not capable of transmitting such data. At least there are enough free multiplexes. Therefore, you won’t have to pay to watch your favorite channels.

What you need to connect digital TV

To connect “digital” to your TV and fully use the main advantages of this format, you first need to spend a certain amount of money on purchasing the appropriate equipment.

The situation will be much simpler if you use a TV with a built-in T2 adapter. As a rule, only modern models are equipped with it. In other cases, you have to buy an additional receiver, and sometimes change the antenna. For all elements to work correctly, they must be connected with a cable.

How is digital television connected via TV? Where to begin? If you live in a multi-storey building and are connected to a shared TV antenna, then first you need to find out whether it is adapted to receive a digital signal.

Ask your neighbors - it's likely that they are already enjoying all the main advantages of digital. In this case, the collective antenna is suitable and there is no need to change it. All that remains is to purchase a set-top box and set up a home television network.

What is needed to connect digitally? We list in detail the necessary equipment.

Antenna

If you live near a television tower, then you can receive the signal using the most ordinary indoor decimeter antenna. Otherwise, you will have to change the wave receiver; give preference to a simple directional model. In addition, it is very important to correctly position the antenna on the tower for high-quality DVB-T2 reception.

Amplifier

In the process of choosing an antenna, questions will arise regarding the feasibility of signal amplification. If you have previously used amplifiers, then you should not give up this practice even if you connect a “digital” one. A good amplifier will provide high-quality signal reception even in places that are extremely far from television towers.

Broadband antennas amplify not only the power of the T2 band, but also all radio waves with similar frequencies - sometimes this prevents decoding the desired signal. Therefore, if the reception is good, then you should not use an amplifier. Sometimes its connection does harm, not good.

When connecting digital channels, many people buy amplifiers with a 12 V power supply. However, in accordance with T2 standards, the latest models of receivers produce a voltage of 5 V. Therefore, in active antennas that are designed for the DVB-T2 format, the amplifiers operate on a voltage of 5 V with direct connection to the set-top box. This is a budget and practical solution. First of all, the additional power source is eliminated.

Tuner

The set of equipment for digital TV must include a receiver. This device performs the functions of a decoder. Tuners are characterized by maximum practicality and ease of operation. There are basic buttons on the front panel, but the main instrument for controlling the device is the remote control.

The decoder functions correctly with the TV. To properly set up channel broadcasts and connect the device, the decoder must be equipped with an HDMI interface and support the HD format. Otherwise, even HD channels will be no different from standard analog quality.

Cables

Connecting equipment for watching digital TV is done using a cable, so this is also an integral element of the entire design. Receivers are connected to older TVs via an RCA tulip or Scart input, and to modern ones via an HDMI interface. Therefore, in any case, you will need a cord with the appropriate connectors.

To obtain a high-quality image with high resolution, you must connect the TV to the set-top box via HDMI. RCA and Scart connectors do not support HD format, therefore, the image will be the same as with analog TV. In some situations, an HDMI cable is included in the basic package of the tuner, but more often you have to buy it separately.

The antenna is connected to the receiver using a coaxial cable; again, you can find it in absolutely any store. We connect the coaxial cable through one of the available connectors: RFIN, RF-In, RF imput. Secure the plug well at the end of the wire; the quality of the broadcast image depends on this.

Connecting digital terrestrial television

If you are using an old TV, you will need a special receiver to connect digital. New models are equipped with T2 adapters, we have already talked about this earlier, therefore there is no need to buy additional equipment for them. Be sure to check whether the built-in module works according to the MPEG-4 standard, which is valid in Russia.

To find out how to connect digital terrestrial television, you first need to choose a signal reception method.

1. Connecting “digital” through the most common common antenna, which is installed on the roof of your house or in the entrance.
2. You can also watch DTTV by connecting to cable TV. Many providers provide this service.

Let's consider the first option first, since it is more practical and less expensive. If you do not have a common antenna, proceed to the next step on choosing and purchasing an antenna.

Digital terrestrial television allows you to set up about 20 free channels - 2 multiplexes. Of course, the cable TV provider will offer much more, but you will have to pay for it.

It is likely that a third multiplex will soon appear, which will also be free, but for now this question is up in the air. Firstly, the Russian infrastructure is not designed for a very large broadcast range. Secondly, there are certain problems associated with the lack of frequencies. Experts believe that 2018 will be a turning point in the issue of abandoning analogue television. Accordingly, the number of free channels will be finally fixed.

Now let's look at the intricacies of the transition from analogue to digital television. Conventionally, the process can be divided into 5 stages; we will consider each of them.

Antenna selection and installation

If you plan to set up a connection to digital television yourself, then you need to start by choosing an antenna. First, remember that there is no single universal solution, so the model should be purchased based on the individual characteristics of the house/apartment. Secondly, you can always install an antenna capable of receiving a signal even in remote regions.

The most attractive option is an ordinary indoor antenna, but as practice shows, its power is not enough. Mostly there is interference that will appear every time trucks pass near the house.

Even if a powerful integrated amplifier is used, it will be extremely difficult to achieve high-quality reception, since obstacles dampen the waves. Indoor antennas can only be used if you are in an ideal location - near a tower with a window facing the repeater.

External signal reception is a more effective solution, especially in comparison with an indoor antenna. The wave range passes through the walls of the house, but the quality of the signal suffers significantly because of this. An external antenna will provide a strong signal.

Which antenna is better to choose: active or passive? To answer this question, you need to consider how far it is located from the DVB-T2 tuner. Practice shows that a passive model is often sufficient. It is not equipped with an auxiliary amplifier, although the cable length is quite short. Active antennas are equipped with a built-in signal amplifier.

Determining the location of the television tower

To find the nearest tower, you need to study the map of digital TV in Russia. Add the name of your locality through the search menu, and then estimate the distance and direction to the nearest signal transmitter. Naturally, you also need to take into account broadcast parameters.

Setting up equipment according to signal reception quality

Reliable reception zone – maintaining high quality signal transmission regardless of third-party factors:

• weather;
• solar Activity;
• season;
• temperature;
• air humidity level;
• Times of Day.

If the transmitter is in the line of sight, then reliable signal reception is guaranteed. The main thing is to point the antenna correctly.

As for the remote area from the TV tower, problems with signal transmission are often observed here. Outside the confident zone, radio waves are obscured by the surface of the earth, so difficulties arise with tuning television broadcasts.

According to official data, the problem is being solved by correctly placing transmitters, in other words, new towers are being built. In any case, in an area remote from the transmitter, the signal quality will depend on weather conditions. Therefore, it is so important to fix the antenna in the desired direction and securely fix it.

To receive signals over long distances with minimal loss of quality, use large antennas that differ from analogues in their more complex design. Subscribers located in a remote area must select the optimal equipment design, guided by the maximum gain factor. At the same time, the dimensions of the structure must remain minimal. The problem is usually solved by using directed models.

Setting up antenna and television equipment

To complete the digital connection, you first need to connect the equipment with a special cable. After this, you can connect the TV and receiver to the mains. Place the antenna towards the nearest transmitter.

The process of setting up the decoder is simplified as much as possible, so there will definitely be no problems with connection or control. On average, the whole job takes about half an hour; for correct connection, follow the recommendations in the instructions.

After the first launch, the “Autoinstall” assistant menu will open; here you can set the most important parameters that determine the operation of the receiver. Labeled buttons on the remote control will guide you through step-by-step setup of the equipment.

Once the antenna is pointed and connected, and the receiver is set up, you need to make sure that all cables have been connected correctly. Then turn on the TV.

Channel search (automatic or manual)

Most users prefer to tune channels automatically. To do this, open the menu and go to the “Autosearch” section. Do not turn on the equipment until the scan is complete. If channels are not found, then the receiver is not receiving a signal from the antenna.

Try moving the antenna, and then start the automatic scanning process again. Check the signal quality by changing the antenna position. Do this until you have tuned in the TV channels of the desired multiplex.

As for alternatives, you should return to the main menu, and then go to the “manual search” section. On some equipment models, this function may be called slightly differently. A list will be displayed on the TV screen in which you need to manually enter data about television broadcasting and frequency, then you must confirm the search. Correctly performed manual setup means the presence of 20 free channels in excellent quality.

Digital cable TV connection

To connect digital cable television, you should use a universal receiver. In some situations, users purchase a digital cable box. Such devices are equipped with an additional PCMCIA connector for connecting a CAM module, which contains an access card to pay TV channels. Naturally, you first have to select one of the tariff plans offered by the provider.

Many modern smart TVs are already equipped with a built-in PCMCIA slot, so there is no need to purchase additional equipment.

To correctly read the CAM board, it is advisable to use a high-quality card reader, however, devices of this type are used much less frequently, since users often prefer hybrid digital receivers.

To connect digital TV to your TV, simply follow the instructions from your provider. As for setting up channels, you can use the recommendations given earlier. Mostly receivers work on a similar principle, there should be no problems. The only difference is that when connecting digital cable TV, it is not the HF wire that is used, but the provider’s cord.

Connecting two or more TVs to one set-top box

The ideal option is to connect one TV to one set-top box. Therefore, the optimal solution would be to purchase separate receivers for TV devices. Naturally, this will not be the most budget-friendly way to solve the problem. The user connects the cable to the splitter, and then from each input it goes to separate receivers. The connection diagram is as simple and clear as possible.

If you wish, you can connect a second TV to one set-top box; to do this, you just need to use all available interfaces. For example, we connect the first device via HDMI, and the second using “tulips”.

Connecting digital TV using this principle is not the best option, since both TVs will receive an identical signal. In other words, the picture is synchronized, you cannot watch different TV channels at the same time.

An additional solution to the problem is to purchase an RF modulator that will supply separate decoded signals to TVs. However, the cost of such a device is significantly higher than the price of a conventional receiver.

Note.

You can connect digital home TV quickly and at a minimal cost by contacting the OnLime company. We offer our clients two connection options: digital and interactive.

How to connect cable TV for free is a question that many citizens face. There are several types of cable TV connection: paid and free; by submitting an application to the appropriate office in the city or independently. We will look at a method for independently connecting cable TV to all TVs in your apartment or house for free.

Instructions

1. If you or your neighbors already have cable TV in your home, then it will be enough to carry out the cable wiring correctly and then you will be able to watch cable TV on all TVs, enjoying the beautiful channels. What is needed for this?

2. Traditionally, a satellite TV antenna is located on the roof of the house and has several channels for laying cables. If such channels are not “clogged”, you can bravely proceed to further actions.

3. The first thing to do is to purchase the required number of cables and other devices, such as a splitter, multiswitch, diplexer and converter. All this can be bought on the market or in a specialized store.

4. The next step is cable wiring. You should have three cables, green, yellow and red. The scarlet cable runs from the antenna to the panel, the one that is usually located on the site or at the entrance, and then from the panel to any required TV. This cable is used to acquire a satellite signal. The green cable follows the example of the first one and serves to transmit the collective antenna signal, and the 3rd type of cable (yellow) runs from the panel to each TV in the rooms that should be connected.

5. The number of cables connected to the antenna on the roof is equal to the number of independent points you plan to make and plus one cable (green) for the collective (on-air) antenna. In the future, using a multiswitch, you will be able to increase the number of cables to the required number.

6. Thus, for example, for 3 TVs you will need to stretch 3 cables from the antenna on the roof to the shield, one for your entire access point and plus 1 universal cable for the over-the-air antenna. At the same time, there should be 3 cables from the panel to every point, that is, in total, 9 cables for 3 TVs. One cable for satellite signal, 2nd for terrestrial and 3rd for parallel connection.

As experience shows, in order to watch TV in every room of the apartment, sometimes it is not enough to get the TV itself. You may need additional cable To TV, connect the one that is absolutely allowed on your own. To do this, it is not necessary to have a large reserve of technical skills behind you, because you can master the connection by following simple instructions.

You will need

• television cable of the required length, fastening tools, plastic plinth (if you need to hide the cable).

Instructions

1. Decide which method you will use to connect cable, how many connectors you will need, and how you will hide the extra length.

2. Take cable with a connector attached to it, check the quality of the transmitted signal, carry out the so-called connection diagnostics. After everything is done, reach out cable to the required distance.

3. Strengthen cable special fastenings that can be purchased at a specialized store. For the cable, it is worth choosing those fasteners that will match the color of the room. Worth holding out cable for connection along the carpet or behind large pieces of furniture. It is impossible to place furniture on cable and allow it to be in a place where it will be exposed to continuous moisture, say, near flowers.

4. Hide cable into the baseboard with a closed connection. Attach the plinth along the wall, then attach it to one of its parts (inner) with a special stapler cable to the baseboard. Later, close it with the 2nd part. Such a plinth can be selected in accordance with the color of the floor or wall, and it will last quite a long time. In addition, you can hide a long cable .

Video on the topic

Note!
If you want to connect a cable to your TV, you should pay attention to the possibility of transferring the cable from one room to another if necessary. Before connecting the cable, pay attention to the possibility of attaching several different connectors to its end, with the help of which you can connect various devices to the TV.

Helpful advice
Remember that the cable that connects to your TV must meet numerous parameters. This is not only its cross-section, the length that allows you to watch TV in every room of the apartment, but also the so-called aging of the cable. The fact is that approximately every seven to nine years the cable needs to be changed, because there is a high-quality new leap in the development of television broadcasting technologies. For this reason, the quality of the transmitted signal may decrease, and the image may disappear or be lost during transmission. In addition, when connecting the cable, it is worth carrying out diagnostics. Before you run the cable and connect it to the TV, you need to determine which connection method you will use - closed (in which the cable is hidden in the wall or under a special baseboard) or open (the cable is primitively routed under the carpet or along the wall).

Cable television is a television broadcasting model in which the television signal is distributed with the support of a high-quality signal transmitted through a cable. The development of television special technologies has led to the fact that there is a large selection of companies that provide this service.

Instructions

1. In order to install cable television in your home, first of all, you need to choose a contractor company and enter into an agreement with it. Carefully study all the clauses of the contract, for example, whether the cost of connection includes laying a cable inside the apartment, setting up channels, technical assistance, etc. Also pay attention to the order in which the contract is terminated.

2. Later, after you have concluded an agreement, you need to buy the required length of cable to lay it inside the apartment. Also buy a splitter if you have several TVs in your apartment. There is no need to pay extra for this, because you are paying for the access point. The cable can be used both coaxial and fiber optic.

3. Lay the cable, it is advisable to “store” it under the baseboard in order to avoid mechanical damage in the future. Install splitters and connect the signal source to one output, and the cables that will be connected to the TV to the other.

4. If you have an additional set-top box, then connect it to the TV receiver. With its help, you can record a TV program, pause a live program, and continue watching after a while from this point. Set up channels and enjoy watching.

5. You can also connect cable TV to your personal computer. Buy a TV tuner. Connect it to your computer and mechanically install the required drivers. Combine the TV tuner and set-top box using an infrared transmitter. Next, on your PC, go to “Start” and click “Run”. Enter the “TV Signal Setup” command. The cable TV setup menu will be available in the dialog box that appears. Program the channels you need, adjust clarity and save. You can start watching.

Cable television has become firmly established among those who like to “look into the TV box.” It replaced the terrestrial one, at one point making massive and clumsy television antennas obsolete. How to open your own cable TV?

Instructions

1. Realistically evaluate the prospects for opening cable television in your locality. If this is a small city, then, on the one hand, there will be virtually no competition, but on the other hand, the number of subscribers may be small, which will not cover all opening costs.

2. Immediately calculate the approximate subscription fee, taking into account the cable stretch from the distribution center to the place of residence of the average subscriber. This distance should not exceed 4 kilometers.

3. Make a competent business plan and attract investors to your plan. But choose investors with great care. If you want to manage the enterprise yourself, and not let everything slide by handing over the management of the business to them. Typically, such a business reaches the break-even point within 5-7 months, and building a network will take at least 3 months.

4. Register a legal entity with the tax authorities, receive statistics codes and an extract from the Unified State Register of Legal Entities. Open bank accounts.

5. Enter into an agreement with a relay center in your city in case of satellite communications failure (anything can happen). Sign an agreement with RAO UES.

6. Find space for an office and editing room. It is better to rent office space in the center. Purchase all the necessary equipment and tools.

7. Interview applicants for the positions of office workers, administrators and installers. When hiring installers, be sure to ask them to take a small theory test.

8. Conclude agreements with local publications and representatives of central newspapers and magazines for the release of programs. If there is a free advertising and information publication in your city, try to negotiate with it.

It’s rare that a family these days keeps one TV at home each. But traditionally everyone has one antenna. To connect to one antenna up to 3 TVs use a special device - the so-called CRAB.

Instructions

1. Purchase a CRAB device (Cable Splitter for Subscriber Household) at a hardware store, which has one input and three outputs. Instead, you can purchase a similar imported splitter. Polish and German are especially common among them.

2. When choosing a splitter, pay attention to the upper limit of its frequency range. Cable operators today often use the highest frequency channels in the UHF range due to lack of space. Not every TV can tune in to them, and manufacturers of splitters may not even suspect the existence of these channels. The limits of the frequency range are traditionally indicated on the device body or in its instructions.

3. Route the cables from all 3 TVs to the installation location of the device. Install antenna plugs at the ends of all cables on the TV side, but TVs Don't connect them yet. It is very important that the plugs are not connected to any of their units during installation, otherwise you may be hit by the current passing through the noise-suppressing capacitors of their power supplies. Select the installation location of the device so that the cable from the antenna can reach it.

4. Connect cables to the CRAB itself depending on its design. Some of them have sockets designed to accept ordinary plugs - then all cables must also be equipped with plugs on the splitter side. Other devices (mostly German, Luxmann) are equipped with screw sockets. In this case, first put the nut on the cable and only then strip it. After this, insert the central core into the hole in the screw socket, then screw the nut so that the braid is pressed against the body by this nut.

Also consider the level of solvency of the population, this will help to adjust the section of the business plan relating to financial planning.

Take into account the possible metamorphoses in special cable broadcasting technologies that may happen over the next 3 to five years.

4. Estimate the market size of the service. Answer the following questions: what kind of buyer will cable broadcasting be targeted at, does the market have growth potential, are there any competitors, and what are your competitive advantages (low subscription fees, a wider selection of program broadcasting, and so on).

5. Determine how the service will be provided. How extensive an infrastructure will be needed to organize cable television in these conditions? What is the approximate length of communication networks? Are there any inherent technical obstacles to implementing the plan? Try to take into account as many possible pitfalls as possible.

6. Consider the sources of content for television channels. Determine what equipment you will need for this. Find out who can provide communication channels for data transfer and telephony.

7. Determine the plan's staffing needs. Appoint a person who will organize the current affairs on cable television. Select a person who can deal with the technical side of broadcasting, including troubleshooting possible failures and problems in the system.

8. Make an estimate for organizing television and include it in the financial part of the plan. Identify primary and backup sources of funding.

Satellite television provides the opportunity to watch a lot of Russian and foreign TV channels in high quality. The digital format, being ahead of the usual analogue broadcasting in every respect, guarantees the acquisition of good image and sound. A basic satellite television set consists of an antenna, connecting cable, converter and receiver.

There are two types of satellite antennas: offset and direct focus. The diameter of the antenna, which can range from 60 centimeters to 3 meters, determines such probabilities as the quality of the received signal, the number of channels, and the probability of receiving a signal from several satellites. A large diameter antenna will need to be purchased by those who live in areas with poor satellite coverage that cannot provide a signal of the required power. The satellite dish should be directed in a southerly direction, therefore, if the windows of your apartment face south, you can easily install the dish near the window. Everyone else will have to place the antenna on the roof of the house. In addition, the antenna should not be obstructed in the direction of signal reception by any obstacles, such as tree branches. The converter is a receiving device that converts the satellite signal and transmits it to the receiver via cable. The converter, the combined parts of which are a highly stable local oscillator and a signal preamplifier, is installed on a remote bracket focused by a satellite antenna. Receiving devices differ depending on the range of input frequencies, the type of polarization received, the number of outputs and the noise indicator. The core functional component of a satellite television set is the receiver - a device that decodes the satellite signal and transmits it to a television device for display. To watch free channels, the simplest inexpensive receiver will be enough. More expensive models with card readers and a hard drive are designed for viewing paid packages and recording watched programs. In addition to the above devices, you will need to buy a connecting cable through which the satellite signal received by the antenna will be transmitted to the receiver. If the distance between the antenna and the tuner does not exceed 15 meters, any cable of the RG-6 type will suit you.

Today, more and more people are using the services of companies that provide cable television connections. Cable television itself is a model of television broadcasting, the signal transmission of which occurs at high frequencies, and the signal itself is transmitted using a special cable. If you do not really need similar services, then the procedure for terminating the contract is as follows.

Instructions

2. Call the office of the company that provided cable television connection and inform the administrator that you intend to refuse this type of service. Some companies allow you to terminate services easily over the phone.

3. Go to the website of the company that provided cable television and download a special form for refusing to use cable television. In this form, fill in all the required fields (this is the last name, first name and patronymic of the person for whom the cable television connection agreement was issued, residential address), if necessary, indicate the reason for the refusal.

4. Visit the office of the company that is directly responsible for providing cable television connection and provision services and write a statement refusing to use cable television. Register the application in the incoming document journal.

5. After 3 business days after completing the application for refusal to purchase cable television services, check whether the provision of these services was truly stopped (to avoid penalties for non-payment).
