TV is an integral element of every modern home. Every Russian spends most of his time near it. But those channels that provide free tv, cannot satisfy the modern consumer. Nowadays, many interesting paid projects have been created. But before you choose required package or service, you should definitely read the opinions of users and read their reviews. Telekarta is currently one of the most responsible and democratic providers.

Satellite TV in Russia

According to foreign and domestic research companies, the market digital television in our country is constantly and steadily growing. Today it is represented by cable, satellite and ordinary analogue segments. But general structure The market is constantly changing towards IPTV. At the same time, the part of the paid segment is already more than 64%. Telekarta, Trikolov-TV, Orion-Express, etc. are developing well and receiving positive reviews.

Satellite television is most widespread in the central and southern districts. Least of all, about 40%, similar technologies distributed in Siberia and the North Caucasus region.

Such popularity of paid satellite television is explained by several factors:

• Excellent data transfer quality.
• Variety of satellite packages.
• Good coverage and spread.
• Availability in price and installation, etc.

The most popular pay television operators in Russia

Today, in the era innovative technologies and freedom of business, any entrepreneur who has the means and opportunities can become a provider. Therefore, there are now quite a lot of people who install and configure satellite television. But not every operator can boast of respect and popularity among users. In 2013, several leaders in the paid satellite television market were identified in Russia, among them:

• Rostelecom. This is a federal satellite operator.
• Telecard. New generation satellite TV.
• Trikolov TV. One of the most advertised providers.
• MTS. This telecommunications company is beginning to conquer the satellite TV market.

Telecard: what is it

The appearance of this satellite television in 2010 was due to the market situation in the Russian and Ukrainian TV markets and the commissioning of another American satellite.

"Telekarta" is a new partnership project of the existing Russian operator"Continent TV". In this case, the equipment is rented from the Orion Express project.

Initially, Telekarta subscribers were users of the special “Transitional” package from Continent TV. For all other clients, the opportunity to purchase and install new equipment has been implemented. If you read reviews about Telekarta satellite dishes, you will find out that the encoding has changed. With the more expensive Irdeto, the company switched to Conax. This made it possible to significantly reduce purchase and connection costs both for the project itself and for new clients.

Essence of the project

Today, this project is the operator of affordable and democratic digital television. Reviews also confirm this. Telekarta is a provider that fully meets the cost.

All channels are broadcast from the newest American satellite Intelsat 15. Already more than nine beams from it cover almost the entire territory of vast Russia. At the same time, different sizes can be installed for different regions. satellite dishes, which will receive the signal just as well. This item will be useful to those who live in crowded cities, where everything is filled with third-party equipment.

All relevant relevant details about the operator itself or about specific capabilities or settings can be found around the clock on the official website “Telecard. Satellite TV".

Equipment used for connection

As with any other operator, to install “Telecards” you use standard tools. In this case, it is not necessary to connect proprietary equipment, for example, an expensive receiver with a built-in card, as for Tricolor TV. Any repeater, even an inexpensive one, will do. The main thing is that there is a special Conax decoder.

The list of equipment used also includes the following standard elements:

• Smart card. To begin with, a one-year subscription is established. This is done in order to transfer the subscriber to a more favorable tariff from the second year.
• Satellite antenna. In this case, for remote areas, dishes with a large diameter, for example 0.8 m, are used. This makes the reception better. In other cases, antennas with a diameter of 0.6 m are used.
• Antenna mounts. The most commonly used are brackets.
• This is special electronic device, placed on the antenna itself. It functions as a frequency converter and amplifier.
• Coaxial cable. Only 15 meters is enough for installation.
• Two dedicated antenna connectors.

All these elements make up the standard satellite kit"Telecard". User reviews speak of its quality and quite affordable price.

Connection procedure

The Telecard project is easy to install and configure. To get high-quality pay television, you only need to take a few consistent steps:

1. Purchase the necessary satellite equipment. For this you can buy new set from the operator or partially use the old one.
2. Adjust the antenna to a specific frequency of the Intelsat 15 satellite. In this case, it is necessary to adjust the specified symbol rate, polarization and format.
3. Insert the purchased “Telecard” into the receiver. 18 channels are included for free daily viewing. Then those that are present in the selected package work.
4. Register your card within 24 hours. This can be done using a specific number hotline, through an online application on the official website and via SMS text.

As a result, after sequentially following the instructions, the user receives “Telecard” satellite television. Reviews about the service are left both on the representative website and on special thematic forums.

Basic TV packages

The beauty of paid satellite TV is in the quality of the image, as well as the ability to select your favorite channels. In addition to free 18 standard programs, the Telecard project provides subscribers with the opportunity to connect to several basic packages:

• "Start". This package provides for the connection of 35 channels. Among them are Russian and foreign programs. These include the beloved TNT, STS, RenTV, and educational Discovery, Universal, and various children's, sports, music and film channels.
• "Standard". Contains 45 programs. These are the main and well-known channels that the Telekarta dish catches. User reviews say that this project is ideal for those who first started using pay TV. These programs cover the entire range of users' lives and possible interests. There are channels for the whole family: Sports 1, Favorite Movies, Amedia, Disney, etc.
• "Telecard HD". This is a relatively new package. It contains 70 and 140 channels in excellent HD and MPEG-4 quality.

News and promotions of the Telekarta operator

This is a solid and popular project that values ​​​​its subscribers. Therefore, there are many promotions here, both in tariffs and in the number of channels.

You can regularly see the start dates of various projects in the Telekarta news feed. For example, preferential connection or transition to suitable tariff. Recently in standard equipment An HD recorder and a Telecard antenna were installed. Reviews about promotions and offers left on the website or special forums are positive. Also, very often new thematic channels are added to existing packages.

Advantages of the Telecard project

• New subscribers can purchase equipment that is cheaper than from other companies. And existing users save on the cost of packages.
• After purchasing, you do not need to wait for the card to be activated. It only needs to be registered within the first 24 hours using one of several available methods.
• Customers immediately have access to 18 standard free channels.
• Protection from bureaucracy. This project corresponds special program modernization by D. Medvedev. It provides for an almost complete transition to electronic means of communication and relationships. All applications and connection are made online via the website or SMS.
• The ability to connect the special “Multitroom” function has been implemented. This means that with one satellite dish Two TVs can operate simultaneously independently of each other.

Differences between Telekarta and other satellite operators

Taking into account all the advantages of this project Several of its individual features can be identified. They make it stand out among similar operators. For example, you can compare the most popular paid satellite TV projects: Tricolor or Telekarta. Reviews from subscribers indicate several significant differences:

• Equipment for Telecard does not have to be purchased from an official dealer of the installing company, such as, for example, from Tricolor TV and NTV. You can use cheaper and more accessible analogues or a suitable old kit.
• The process of registering a card in Telekart does not require personal connection with the operator. Moreover, it is activated immediately after installation.
• Telekarta does not provide for the signing of an offer agreement, as in Tricolor TV. This reduces the level of bureaucracy.

I would like to say the following: when purchasing a Telecard, you additionally need to purchase a satellite antenna plus a converter. Approximately it comes out to about 1 tr. It depends on the prices in your city. We have these. If you are thinking of installing it yourself, then in addition to everything you will need to purchase a cable and many other small things. If there is a man in the house, then installation will not be difficult. If there is no one to install it, or there is simply no desire to mess around, then you also need to pay the master for the installation. (For example, our master charges 1300 rubles.) And there is another minus. Payment is made only through terminals, which also charge a commission. Maybe you can pay differently, but I haven’t heard about it. The telecard receives channel 41. Well, for example, I live in a small town in the Sverdlovsk region. This is enough for us. Because For the most part, many channels are dummies for us, i.e. nothing interesting. Oh yes, I almost forgot, another disadvantage is that the channels are all at different times. Some channels are 2 hours earlier from the present time, and some are later. If you watch in our city, there are not even channels in the present tense. Those. everyone who has channels in our time watched the film, for example, at 9 pm, and we will start watching it only at 11 pm. And as a rule, this applies to the most interesting channels. Well, if all this suits you, then this receiver is for you.

My neighbors took a dish smaller than 60 cm to their dacha and are now complaining about problems with the signal. Well, based on their mistakes, I bought almost a meter long and am catching 100 channels. The signal is received, there are a lot of interesting channels! And for such ridiculous money.

Outside the city, the TV card is quite satisfactory, 100 rubles a month and more than 100 channels, there are even country channels (estate, etc.), although we mostly only watch federal ones. There are no jambs, everything can be configured quite simply with your own hands.

Advantages: Set price and minimum subscription fee.

Flaws: Interference in bad weather, the remote control was not included in the kit.

A year ago, my future mother-in-law became the happy owner of a Telekart satellite television set at her dacha. It cost twice as much as a similar kit from Tricolor.

I volunteered to install it, since the installer asked for 4,000 rubles for his work. I installed it on the second try, because when I tried to do it the first time, I did not find any wires (tulips) and, most importantly, a remote control in the kit. Why the most important thing? It’s just that the Globo X80 receiver does not have a single button and is controlled exclusively from the remote control. It took me a week to find the remote control, the task was not the easiest, I bought it at the Savelovsky market for 250 rubles. By the way, this week I thoroughly studied everything related to satellite TV and carried out the installation being savvy in this matter. Installation and installation of the antenna took about an hour. For the first six months you can use the extended package of channels for free, after which you need to pay about 900 rubles a year or watch the main channels almost free.

Almost free, this is because within 180 days you need to make a payment at least one day, and this is only 2 rubles or 3, depending on the package. Last weekend I came to the dacha for the first time this summer and discovered that there was no signal, adjusted the dish, caught the satellite, the signal was about 73%, which is very good indicator. But still, the list of channels appeared, even the TV program was displayed, but the programs themselves were not shown. I called technical support using the number on the card and they just explained about at least one paid day for six months. I paid and everything worked! In general, the telecard is not a bad thing, although it is more difficult to install than, for example, Tricolor, sometimes in heavy rain the signal will disappear, this can be resolved by replacing the plate with another one of larger diameter. You can also try to adjust the direction of the satellite dish during bad weather.

Advantages: cheaper than analogues.

Flaws: Poor signal reception.

I have been using the Telekart TV satellite television package for two months now.

It cost us 3,999 rubles to buy the entire set: a 0.9 m antenna, a converter, a receiver and a card - much cheaper than the Tricolor analogue. The first six months of use are free, then 600 rubles per year for 18 channels.

We struggled with setting up the plate for a very long time. We live in a village where hiring an adjuster would be very expensive, so we managed it on our own. The husband tried holding a protractor and a compass in his hands for about 2 hours. The slightest obstacle prevented the plate from catching a signal, even a nearby pole that was attached old antenna had to drop it. The signal angle of the telekatra is very low - the dish looks slightly above the horizon, because of this there is a lot of interference, I think that in the city it will be even more difficult to set up, the output should be mounted on the roof of the building.

When we achieved a signal strength of 90% and a quality of 75%, we calmed down and were happy about satellite television - for two days, until the rains started charging - oops and “NO SIGNAL” was displayed on the TV screen. We had to adjust it further in the rain, now the signal also disappears occasionally in heavy rain, but not for long - or the image is broken into squares - but we cannot adjust it better. We're waiting for winter, our neighbors' tricolor plate gets clogged with snow and ice in winter - I'm sure the same will happen to ours - so we'll clean it in winter.

I can only give three to the “TELECARD SATELLITE TV” package. But since there are no inexpensive analogues, I will still recommend it: according to the proverb “Even without fish, there is cancer in fish.”

I rushed between MTS and Telekarta, chose the telecard. In terms of connection costs, the price is almost the same, only MTS’s selection of channels is somewhat unclear in content, and the telecard has only slightly different topics.

If problems arise, they are resolved in short term. As a matter of principle, I don’t call support; there are plenty of people like me there. They have active platforms on social networks, all the information is basically poured there: prevention, promotions, etc. You can also ask a question there, they will quickly advise you on the problem.

The signal quality has been normal for everyone for a long time, now satellite operators compete only if there is a variety of channels. Like tricolor, like mts, like ntv+, like telecard. Based on the satellite's location, see what works best for you. Well, in front of the house, within 20 meters there should be no high obstacles (house, trees), and everything will be caught well. Now I’m preoccupied with choosing a plate for the dacha. I paid attention to the TV card, in May they had different channel packages, according to different prices, you can choose according to your taste.

Positive reviews

I’m very pleased with the TV card, I’ve been watching it for three years now. There are no problems with it, I always pay on time, channels are not turned off just like that. If any question arises, I write to the gazebo on VK, they always answer very promptly. The image on the TV is good, interruptions occur but very rarely, and I think everyone has them. In general, I like it.

I made full payment immediately and the TV broadcast works great

Rainbow Alexey

I like the telecard for its picture; interruptions are very rare. The number of channels is enough to watch TV when you come home from work and go to bed peacefully. In any case, you can connect additional channels without exorbitant prices. In principle, like the telecard tariffs themselves, they are very favorable in terms of the number of channels and prices.

I live in Siberia. I'm counting the telecard the best operator for our region. Both the number of channels in the packages and the price are an excellent price/quality ratio. And the equipment itself is more profitable with the telecard than with other operators. In general I recommend of this operator everyone!

It’s not entirely correct to compare with others; everyone occupies their own niche. Specifically, I don’t need a lot of channels, the main thing is that everything works well and stably, and in this regard, the telecard completely suits me, as well as in the price.

Advantages: free, cheaper than analogues.

An excellent option for satellite television.

I read reviews about satellite television "Telecard" and was very surprised by the many negative reviews. And I like the “telecard”. In the fall of 2013, the question arose about purchasing a satellite television set. I wanted to buy Tricolor at first, but such a kit costs 9,000 rubles, and Telekarta is only 4,000 rubles. When I asked the seller what the fundamental difference was, I received the answer that the differences were practically the same. I bought a “Telecard” and there were no problems with the setup, you just turn it on and watch, the only problems were with the installation, you won’t be able to install the “Telecard” manually, you need to use a special device to set the antenna position correctly.

The first year of using the antenna is free, it shows about 50 channels, in subsequent years you need to pay 600 rubles for viewing the same channels, or 10 rubles per view federal channels(about 12 channels).

The picture quality is excellent, regardless of the weather. We have been using it for about 6 months and there are no problems, perhaps problems will appear when free year It will end, but so far everything is very satisfactory.

Advantages: good price, many channels.

Flaws: I haven’t discovered it yet.

As for me, it is “Telecard” that is the most universal of all satellite ones. I switched to it after another company, there is something to compare with. Reasonable price for such a list of channels. In general, the whole family is happy, from us good mark service.

Even in the most budget package they have selected channels. A little bit of everything: sports, science, films, and nature. A additional packages The telecard has one of the best, as they say, if you had the money.
