How to avoid quarrels in the family: you need to buy a 2 TV set-top box from Tricolor

Those who have already appreciated the convenience of Tricolor TV will certainly be interested in the opportunity to use a set-top box for 2 TVs. Tricolor for 2 TVs is an opportunity for those who have several TVs not to spend money on additional equipment and not pay a monthly fee twice. The connection of such a kit is extremely simple, we will tell you about the scheme and specifics in all the details.

Today, many people have two or more televisions in their homes. The most popular satellite TV operator offers options for connecting two devices at once to watch different TV channels. At the same time, the entire package set of channels is available for each tuner.

There are many options for connecting two devices at once, among the available to many customers are the following:

Broadcast on two screens of the same channel. In this case, additional costs are minimized.
Almost independent broadcast on two devices at once.

Important! You can install the equipment and carry out its tincture with your own hands without much difficulty. Of course, in order to do it yourself, you need to have detailed instructions.

The emergence of such opportunities is associated with market requirements. And modern families no longer quarrel over what to watch: father's football or mother's TV series - there is a way out, and it is much easier.

One picture and multiple TVs

This option is the cheapest, however, it will not provide the capabilities that a full-fledged set for two TVs offers. One is used, but a signal is distributed to 2 devices. To do this, you only need to purchase a splitter cable additionally.

In this case, one TV is connected using "tulips", and the second through an HDMI wire. This method is available even for branching, one old receiver is enough for two TVs. Schematically, it looks like this:

Important! This option is only possible if the tuner itself has the above connectors.

Two receivers

You can also branch out using two receivers, but this does not always require buying a new, not very cheap kit. But if you do not use the diagram below, then both TVs will show the same thing. For such a scheme you will need:

Another receiver, maybe an earlier model.
Satellite splitter is also called splitter.
Coaxial cable.

The connection procedure is as follows:

Choose an area where it is convenient to split the cable, cut it.
Fix the F-connector and attach the splitter at the entry point.
Insert the coaxial cable into the remaining connector.
Now all that remains is to configure.

The problem is that often the signal does not go to the second TV, and such branching turns out to be useless. If you connect 2 separate receivers and install an antenna for each of them, you will also have to pay double the user fee. This is, to put it mildly, not profitable.

Ready set Tricolor for 2 TV

The methods proposed above are used in order to save money, but they do not always work. In some cases, the same savings are questionable. In order to accurately receive the broadcast on 2 devices at once and with different channels, including paid ones, you should purchase a special kit. It is not cheap, but in any case it is beneficial if you buy a separate receiver for each TV. The price of such a kit is 13 thousand and more.

In this set, one receiver is a priority (server), the second is less important (client). It is very important that there is no additional charge for using two packages. The most important thing is to connect the server, it is also responsible for distributing the signal.

Important! The set includes only one subscription fee and one antenna.

Kit Contents

The set in question contains:

Receiver-server.
Receiver client.
One antenna with a converter.
Access card "Tricolor Multistar".
Two control panels.
Two power adapters.
Useful information for the user in the instructions.

At the moment, the operator is replacing old receivers with new ones. Including, it is possible to carry out a replacement with a surcharge for the set in question. You can buy it in company stores or authorized points of sale.

Connection rules

The first and most important rule is that the connection is carried out with de-energized wires.

Both devices have HDMI outputs, service ports through which external media are connected. The connection procedure is as follows:

To connect the server, insert 2 antenna cables into the LNB IN1 and LNB IN2 connectors. They are located on the back of the "server" modem.
Further, the receivers are connected to each other using a UTP cable. To do this, you need to insert its inputs into the ports of the Ethernet set-top boxes.
Then we install smart cards into the receiver-server on the front panel of the receiver.

Connection without cable

This can also be done and at the same time the broadcast will be possible immediately to 2 TVs, regardless of one of the second. This option is suitable for those who are simply uncomfortable pulling the cable through the whole house, provided that the points are located in different parts of the house.

This requires additional equipment - a video sender. Elements are connected to both receivers to the Ethernet ports. The blocks only need to be connected to the mains. Wireless communication is automatically configured between them. Of course, video sender is not cheap, but convenience comes at a price.

Note! The subscription fee for such a double benefit is 2,000 rubles per year with a wide selection of TV channels for viewing, including free ones from the first and second multiplexes.

Configuring receivers

In order for you to still be able to watch channels through both TVs, you need to configure it. It is the same for "server" and "client". Its order is as follows:

In the "settings wizard" you must select the display language for the "tuner menu". Also choose "video format". Immediately it is adjusted: the visibility frames corresponding to the TV screen.
The next step is to set the time and date. You can also select the automatic mode for adjusting these parameters.
Next, you need to connect the receiver via a local network. Establishing a server-client connection between them. To do this, you just need to activate Ethernet 0 using the buttons on the remote control.
The next step is to choose a Tricolor TV operator.

The next step is to launch a channel search. It will start automatically after selecting a region.
