Prefix dvb t2 which satellite. Digital TV set-top boxes for watching DVB-T2 channels

Digital television is not so long ago, but it is already firmly established in our lives. However, not all of us managed to acquire televisions with built-in digital receivers. There are two ways to solve this problem - buy a new one and modern tv  or install a small DVB-T2 receiver in your home. The second option is the most profitable and acceptable, because the receivers are an order of magnitude smaller than the new "box". However, there may be some difficulties if you do not know what to focus on during the purchase.

DVB-T2 receivers

To date, TV towers and analog and digital signals broadcast in the same range. Therefore, to receive high-definition video channels, there is no need to install a new antenna - the usual decimeter “horns” will fit, which each of us must have.

It must also be remembered that not all televisions are capable of “reproducing” a digital signal. Of course, by connecting the DVB-T2 receiver to the old TV box, you can watch your favorite channels, but you will not notice the difference in image quality.

Modern digital receivers are small in size devices that look very similar to DVD players. Most models have a simple front-panel LCD display, control buttons.

On the back of such a device are connectors for connecting to the antenna and to the TV, additional slots for flash cards, adapters and other devices, as well as a power switch. Choosing a DVB-T2 receiver, you need to focus on the back panel.

Receiver characteristics

The first important characteristic of a digital receiver is the supported video resolution. This parameter must match the resolution of your TV. So, if the screen supports only SDTV, then there is simply no need to purchase a set-top box that supports HD high-definition video - the TV will still be broadcast as before. The same applies to the built-in 3D function.

The presence of the necessary connectors for connecting the set-top box to the TV is the second most important parameter. The vast majority of equipment for connection is used RCA-cable, or "tulips". Some terrestrial receivers  DVB-T2 use SCART cables with RCA ports.

In addition, to connect to the TV, you can use one of the built-in interfaces. As a rule, the HDMI port is often used as such. The presence of all the listed connectors will allow you to connect to the same receiver at the same time two TVs.

Embedded Interfaces

On the market you can often find equipment with a built-in USB interface, thanks to which you can connect a flash drive, a phone, and in some cases even a laptop to the receiver. However, such a DVB-T2 receiver costs slightly more than a typical installation. Most often, the described features are used to record a TV show on a flash card or to play audio and video files stored on a flash drive.

The built-in CI slot for connecting a conditional access card that allows viewing paid channels has a significant impact on the price. Today, almost all channels broadcast on the territory of Russia are free of charge, but in the future this possibility may be very useful.

Additional functions

The receiver may have a large number of built-in functions, which the owners do not even realize. The most popular is the ability to "stop time" - TimeShift. But this possibility is only a trick that makes the DVB-T2 digital TV receiver more expensive.

The fact is that this feature is only available for satellite receivers. In the “antenna” devices, when the time is “stopped,” a screen shot is taken and the sound is muted, but the transmission itself continues to go.

Another popular feature is the TV guide, which allows you to view the program guide, works slightly better. Its functionality depends on the specific channel. Setting the timer to automatically turn on or turn off the channel - the only additional features that work flawlessly.

Connecting the console to the TV

You can connect a digital set-top box in two ways. If your antenna has a ready-made coaxial cable, then simply insert it into the DVB-T2 digital TV receiver, and then proceed to setting up the channels. In some cases, you have to buy the coaxial cable yourself, especially if your antenna has a built-in amplifier.

In this case, you will also need an f-type screw connector. To install it on the cable, it is necessary to cut off the insulation layer, distribute the metal foil and the mesh along the contour and get to the copper core. After you can screw the connector into the receiver.

Ways to connect the TV to the console is much more. You can use tulips, RCA, SCART or HDMI cables. Difficulties here will not arise. After merging devices, all that remains is digital receiver  DVB-T2 is similar to the way the channel search on the TV is configured.

Budget models

The cost of budget models is in the range of 1-2 thousand rubles. Their functionality is enough for comfortable viewing of TV programs.

Our BBK SMP240HDT2 receiver worth up to 1.5 thousand rubles opens our list. There is a built-in USB interface, which makes it possible to record TV programs and view media files. HDMI connector can be used to connect a TV with HD screen. Among the minuses should be noted a bad reaction to the remote control and the coincidence of commands with the signals of the TV remote.

The D-COLOR DC1302 prefix has all the same built-in functions as the previous representative. But this DVB-T2 digital receiver is more user-friendly - it responds better to the commands of the remote control. Buyers were also marked by a stylish metal case with plastic inserts. Among the minuses - the late switching channels.

The receiver is less functional than previous representatives - there is no HDMI. Users especially liked the simple setup of channels - it can be done in just a couple of taps. But the menu is not very convenient and clear - you have to deal with it.

Special representatives

Particularly, these consoles presented below can be called for some additional features that are already missing from the models already described. In addition, the cost of these devices also does not exceed 2 thousand rubles.

SUPRA SDT-94 is a DVB-T2 digital receiver with HD resolution and a USB interface for viewing data from flash cards. Separately, users noted good reception of signals, regardless of the type of antenna connected, as well as a simple search for channels. A special feature is the parental control function that blocks certain channels until a password is entered. The main disadvantage is the decrease in image quality when connected via a composite output.


A more original model is the Rolsen RDB-532. The receiver has a compact size and low power consumption, which allows it to be used as a portable or To do this, you only need to buy a power cord. It has no HDMI connector, but the ability to view multimedia is preserved. DVB-T2 has no complaints from users. Its functionality is fully consistent with the price.

SMART receivers

This group of devices is the most expensive. However, they are more functional and able to go online, and also have a number of other features.

The Dune HD Solo 4K receiver, in addition to watching TV channels directly from the Internet in 4K format, playing multimedia, recording video, accessing the global network, a convenient menu and features already described in other models, can be used as a wireless Wi-Fi access point Fi. At the same time providing high speed simultaneously multiple users. Of the minuses should be noted the high price - about 24 thousand rubles.


IconBIT XDS94K is a much less functional digital terrestrial DVB-T2 receiver. But it costs 4 times less than the previous representative. In addition to viewing Internet resources, playing multimedia, the device can be used to make video calls, you only need to buy a webcam. In addition to the receiver, you can connect a mouse and keyboard. Among the downsides is quite a long loading of channels.

Current technologies open up new opportunities for society to receive improved quality television. With a limited range and a large amount of interference and distortion decided to fight by introducing a new standard dVB broadcast  T2, covering every corner of Russia. It was he who encouraged the manufacturers to take care of the creation of DVB T2 terrestrial receivers capable of decoding this signal. It should be noted that the receivers of the previous generation DVB T are not compatible with the new standard.

To view digital television  DVB-T2 format requires a digital set-top box, except when digital tuner  already built into the TV. If the TV is 2013 or older, then with a probability of 99% digital format  DVB-T2 it does not support. Accepted formats can be viewed in the instructions from the TV, just find there mention of the DVB-T2 standard (DVB-T will not work). If a digital signal  TV does not accept, it is enough to buy a console that will fit any TV. The only requirement is the presence of a video input SCART ("comb") or RCA ("tulips, bells"). With rare exceptions, there is such an input on almost any TV, including the models of the 80s-90s of the last century. If your TV is only SCART input, then you need an inexpensive adapter, since most of the bailiffs are designed to connect through the "tulips". There is no red “tulip” on TVs without stereo sound, in which case it simply remains unused.



How to choose a digital set-top box and how do they differ?

The lion's share of the DVB-T2 digital receivers on the market differ little from each other in terms of technical characteristics. Standard considers the presence of RCA and HDMI outputs, for connecting to a TV, as well as a USB connector for connecting a USB flash drive or hard disk. The sensitivity of the receivers may vary slightly, much more dependent on the antenna and cable. Oddly enough, well-known electronics manufacturers such as SONY, Samsung, LG, etc. Digital set-top boxes do not produce. Nevertheless, the overwhelming majority of receivers are of good quality, since the main stuffing for them is supplied by only a few large Chinese manufacturers of microprocessors that control the quality of their products.

The main mistakes when choosing a digital set-top box

It often happens that after hearing the "trills" of the seller of digital set-top boxes about the most advanced processor and ultra-sensitive tuner that allows you to receive channels on a piece of wire even in the basement, the buyer forgets to pay attention to the really significant moments:

Console Size. Some consoles are equipped with very small "remote". Using such a remote control, especially for older people, is extremely uncomfortable. Remember that the channels you will now switch the remote control from the console, and the remote control from the TV you will only turn on and off the TV.

Complete set of a prefix. In most cases, the kit comes with an RCA-to-RCA cable ("tulips") for connecting to a TV. However, some manufacturers supply models without such a cable. It can be an unpleasant surprise if you have to buy it additionally, especially for country residents.

Power Supply. Most consoles use 5V for operation, so most often the power supply has an external design. This is very practical, since it is the power adapter that fails at least as often as the console itself. In the case of external execution, it is easy to replace it with a new one, since it is inexpensive and is not a scarce product in most cases. However, some consoles are made with a built-in power supply, which is not very practical.

Buttons on the receiver panel. In the most budget models digital receivers no buttons at all, even the power button. This means that in case of a breakdown or loss of the remote control, you simply cannot use the set-top box. More advanced receiver models often have three main control buttons: on / off and channel switching. Rather rare models, for example Divisat Hobbit Iron, have all the main control buttons and settings console. This prefix can be fully used even without a remote control.

Dolby Digital Sound Support  For some consumers, a nice feature. digital set-top boxes  is the ability to view video files via USB connector. You can insert a USB flash drive into the console or plug in an external hard drive, but here you may have one unpleasant moment to wait: while playing some movies, there may be no sound. The fact is that most consoles do not support the standard Dolby Digital. The main part of the models is capable of reproducing only two-channel stereo sound. If the audio track is recorded in 5.1 format, then a silent movie is waiting for you. Therefore, if you use the set-top box as a media player, make sure that this format is supported, but rather take the flash drive with you to the store and check it yourself.

Where to buy a digital console

Digital set-top boxes can be purchased at electronics chain stores, large universal networks such as Auchan, but it is better to buy a DVB-T2 receiver in specialized stores that deal with antenna equipment. Despite the fact that the process of connecting the set-top box and tuning the antenna seems simple, sometimes there are non-standard situations in which it can be difficult to understand even an experienced specialist. So, by purchasing equipment in specialized stores you can count on at least a telephone consultation, and if necessary, call a specialist to set up equipment. In chain stores you should not count on any free technical support, and the cost of services for setting up equipment in networks is often very high.
