What exactly does a consumer pay attention to when choosing a service? That's right, the ratio of quality and price.

As for quality, here MTS satellite TV is on this moment It is unlikely to be a leader in this niche. But the provider attracts the consumer’s attention with its prices. Various promotions are regularly held that allow you to purchase starter kit at a tempting price. For example, at the time of writing, you could buy MTS satellite TV for only 2,990 rubles, with a free annual subscription to more than 140 channels. No other provider makes similar offers.

Disadvantages of satellite TV from MTS

The MTS company knows how to make beautiful advertisements for its products. If you have already used the services of this operator, then you will know that the promises are always true.

MTS satellite TV is no exception to the rule and there are also pitfalls here.

MTS satellite TV has the following disadvantages:

Periodic failures with the broadcast signal;
Poor customer service;
The set-top box gets very hot;
The set-top box takes a long time to turn on;
Many channels are duplicated with a time difference (+2, +4, +6).

It is also worth adding that many users complain that after connecting, various attempts on the part of the operator begin to scam money. For example, a client is lured by some interesting promotion (lack subscription fee or a discount on the starter kit), and then it turns out that he cannot take advantage of this promotion due to certain reasons. However, such situations usually arise due to the fact that the subscriber has not carefully studied the terms of service.

Perhaps the most important real disadvantages of satellite TV from MTS are poor customer support and problems with the broadcast signal. Not only can you call help center sometimes it is very problematic, and there is still no guarantee that you will receive a detailed answer to your question. Very often you come across specialists whose qualifications leave much to be desired. Failures with the broadcast signal deserve a separate topic for discussion. These are not just reviews from dissatisfied customers, but a real fact. We personally tested MTS satellite TV for several months and observed periodic failures, especially in bad weather. This may be due to the fact that MTS is relatively new to this market and the problem with the satellite will be resolved in the near future.

How much will satellite TV from MTS cost?

If you have weighed all the pros and cons of satellite television from MTS and have already decided to purchase the necessary equipment, then the matter remains small. If you have the opportunity, you can contact a specialist who will install and configure satellite television. The MTS company does not provide such a specialist, but finding one is not difficult, for example, through online message boards. WITH The cost of this service will differ depending on the region (1000-2000 rubles). However, if you wish, you can do everything yourself. Don't worry, you won't need any expensive equipment.

Assembly and installation of satellite TV antenna from MTS

Of course, you will not receive the equipment assembled. You will be delivered a box containing everything you need to connect satellite television and the corresponding instructions. Before you begin setting up and searching for channels, you need to assemble the antenna and install it in a suitable place. MTS satellite television operates from the ABS 2 - 75 E satellite, to which you have to point the antenna. It's unlikely that this tells you anything. To determine the location of this satellite and, accordingly, the direction of the dish, install on your phone free application"SatFinder" (available in AppStore or Play Market). It will show the location of the satellite relative to your home and you can easily determine in which direction to place the antenna. We will tell you more about how to use this application and configure it below.

Before moving on to installing the antenna and configuring it, you need to assemble it. The corresponding instructions are included in the kit. The fastening to the wall bracket and the nuts for adjusting the dish angle do not need to be tightened, otherwise you will not be able to search for a signal. Assemble the bracket, consisting of two parts, separately and do not attach it to the antenna itself; it will need to be carefully secured to the wall using dowels. Next, “put” the antenna on the bracket, slightly tighten the nuts on the fasteners and adjust the angle of the mirror as vertically as possible. Next, you need to strip the cable and install F-connectors on it. One end of the cable is connected to the set-top box, the other to the antenna. In principle, no questions should arise regarding installation, since included enough accessible instructions with a clear diagram of antenna assembly and installation. Let's move on to the main question.

Setting up satellite TV from MTS

There are quite a lot of instructions on the Internet on self-configuration MTS satellite television, but most of them describe only the theoretical part. In practice, many questions arise for which there are no answers. We will try to correct the situation and provide you with the most complete step by step guide for setting up satellite TV from MTS. Our instructions are not just another retelling, but personal experience. We have had the opportunity to install and configure MTS satellite TV several times, so our instructions will most likely help you. If any difficulties arise, ask your questions in the comments.

To set up MTS satellite TV, follow these steps:

Determine the location of the satellite relative to your home. To choose the optimal location for installing the antenna, you need to know where the ABS 2 - 75 E satellite is located. To do this, you do not need to have special equipment at all. Install the “SatFinder” application on your phone (available in the AppStore or Play Market). Enable location sharing to connect to GPS. Launch the SatFinder application, click on the search icon and select the ABS 2 - 75 E satellite. Next, click on the three dots in the upper right corner and select show AR. Now search for a satellite (the circle should be at the intersection of the two lines and turn green.
Antenna installation. Once the location of the satellite in relation to your home has been determined, you can begin installing the antenna. We described above how to assemble the antenna; in addition, the kit will definitely include detailed diagram. There is no need to immediately try to align the dish exactly to the satellite and tighten the bolts tightly. The cymbal angle adjustment nuts do not need to be tightened, otherwise you will not be able to search for a signal.
Searching for a signal. Antenna tuning is carried out according to three indicators: antenna rotation, antenna tilt and converter rotation. We said earlier what to find the right companion possible using the SatFinder application. Unfortunately, if you rely solely on this application, you will not be able to configure anything. The application allows you to find the approximate location of the satellite, but we need to catch the most accurate signal. To do this you will have to tinker a little. So, if the antenna is already installed, connect it to the set-top box, turn on the TV and select the “Settings” section in the set-top box menu, then open the “Antenna Settings” section (depending on the set-top box model, the sequence of actions may differ). The signal strength received by your antenna will appear on the screen. By the way, some models of consoles do not require any additional actions, the signal level is displayed on the screen immediately after switching on. Now you will need an assistant or you will have to take the TV to the antenna so that you can adjust it and at the same time monitor the signal level. Slowly move the plate right/left and up/down until a signal appears on the screen. You will not be able to achieve a signal level of 100%, as a rule, a maximum of 60-70%. Don't worry, this is enough for a high-quality picture. When the optimal signal is found, you can fix the plate tightly.

Of course, manually adjusting the antenna can take a lot of time, but you don’t have to buy expensive equipment or hire a specialist. If we are guided by our experience, then for a long time we only tinkered with the first antenna. This was due to the fact that the SatFinder application showed the location of the satellite very high, and accordingly, the dish was very raised. If you have the same, then feel free to lower the antenna an order of magnitude lower. In principle, 10-15 minutes of manual adjustment will definitely give results. The main thing is to watch the TV, as soon as at least some signal appears, then you are close to completion.

Interactive television You should connect only if there is a strong Internet signal in the place where you live. Otherwise, the satellite simply will not work.

This version of satellite television will soon, according to the manufacturer’s promises, make it possible to catch radio waves and use social networks and distribute Wi-Fi to all devices in the house or apartment.

The equipment together with the antenna will cost about nine thousand rubles. If you already have an antenna, you can pay one thousand less.

Maintenance cost

It’s nice that you can pay for an MTS antenna for a TV (customer reviews confirm this) in two ways:

monthly;
once a year.

The size of the subscription fee depends on the packages you have connected. For example, the basic one will cost one hundred and forty rubles a month or one thousand two hundred rubles in a one-time payment. Many buyers in their reviews of the MTS satellite dish with the Internet note that the basic package is quite good. It includes one hundred and twenty-nine channels from which you can choose a lot of interesting things.

List of required equipment

In reviews, buyers often note that they experienced great difficulties in the process of choosing equipment. Many people are starting to look for options second-hand or from intermediaries, but it is best to buy the entire set at the MTS office. In this case, experienced employees will always be able to advise you on the necessary equipment.

Typically, to connect a television, you may only need a set-top box, an antenna and a converter. After this, you can think about how to install the MTS antenna. There are two algorithms for this:

call the master;
self-tuning.

In the first option, be prepared to pay approximately one and a half thousand rubles for the service. Please note that installation costs will be higher in some areas.

If you decide to install it yourself, the instructions will help you. It is quite simple to use, but still this process causes a lot of difficulties. We will talk about the features of installing the MTS antenna in the following sections.

How to set up an MTS antenna yourself: choose a location

Those who decide to do the settings themselves should first choose a location for installation. The main thing here is that there is no interference on the communication line. The instructions must indicate in which direction the antenna should be turned. Also keep in mind that snow, rain and intense rays of the sun should not fall on it (as on a loggia, for example).

If you live in your own home, then choose a place at an altitude of seven to ten meters. This will protect the antenna from dust and dirt, and this will help improve the signal quality.

How to set up an MTS satellite dish: dish assembly

Craftsmen advise first of all to install and secure the brackets. They must be strictly vertical, otherwise you will not be able to catch the signal and install the antenna. Then you can start assembling, and here you need to be very careful, acting strictly according to the instructions.

The assembly process itself involves attaching the converters to the plate. In this case, the connectors should always be at the bottom; if this rule is observed, the risk of their oxidation is reduced. All contacts must be well insulated; if necessary, they can be coated with sealant.

After all the necessary manipulations have been completed, you can hang the plate on the brackets and begin final stage settings.

Setup process: features

The most difficult thing for many buyers is trying to point the dish at a satellite signal. However, there is nothing complicated in this process if you follow the tips given in the instructions.

First of all, determine your geographical coordinates, anyone will help with this mobile device with navigation. The MTS website indicates the azimuth of the satellite location, with the help of which the inclination angle is determined. Now all you have to do is point the antenna at the broadcast signal and secure it. Many people use an engineering compass for this.

Keep in mind that a good signal cannot be below sixty percent. If your result is more modest, then try moving the antenna slightly. Optimal step is five millimeters. At the same time, do not stand in front of the antenna, you will interfere with the signal and will not be able to make precise adjustments.

Negative reviews of satellite television

Over the years, MTS antennas have received a large number of reviews. In this article we will present comments from satisfied clients and those who are dissatisfied with the quality of the services provided. Let's start with the latter.

The most common types of dissatisfied customers include:

interference due to rain, snow or wind;
weak Internet completely makes it impossible to enjoy the advantages of interactive television;
difficulties with self-installation and connection;
unsatisfactory call center performance.

Customers also often note that problems with the antenna also arise at the stage of filling out a service request. In many cases, the form on the website is not sent, and a personal visit to the office does not always solve the problem.

Some MTS clients write that the set-top box itself gets very hot during operation, so they are afraid to leave it in the house with their children.
