Dear readers of the NskTarelka.ru blog, our country is slowly but surely moving from analogue broadcasting to digital broadcasting.
If a signal is already broadcast in your area, it remains to purchase a TV with a built-in DVB-T2 tuner, or a digital set-top box that supports the DVB-T2 standard, tune in channels and enjoy viewing without ripples and interference.
How many channels does the digital set-top box show?
The number of channels available for viewing does not depend on the choice of digital set-top box model. How many channels in digital terrestrial television will be available for viewing depends on your location and nearby digital television repeaters transmitting the signal.
At the time of publication of the article, on the air, via VHF (ultra-short waves) waves on the decimeter range, two packets of channels are broadcast from transmitters - RTRS - 1 (first multiplex) and RTRS - 2 (second multiplex).
The number one task is to make it possible to watch terrestrial digital television in almost the entire territory of Russia. And since our country is vast, the broadcasting of the first multiplex is being promoted as a priority on the built repeaters and existing TV towers. State guaranteed package
The second multiplex broadcasts far from everywhere. And it will be connected in turn, starting with larger settlements and moving on to less populated ones.
The nearest repeaters and available multiplexes can be viewed on (Digital Terrestrial TV). If the RTRS - 2 package is not yet broadcasting for you, you can check the approximate launch date of the second multiplex in advisory support center.
The RTRS - 1 package (the first multiplex) consists of 10 channels, the second multiplex also contains 10 television channels. Accordingly, based on the situation, you will be able to view either 10 or 20 channels of digital terrestrial television.
List of channels package RTRS - 1 (first multiplex)
What channels in digital terrestrial television are broadcast free of charge?
All channels of the first and second multiplex are broadcast free of charge.
RTRS channels - 3 (third multiplex)
The third multiplex will not be launched in Russia soon. Not at all soon, with the second would be dealt with.
In this regard, Crimea was lucky. The third multiplex is already being broadcast there. This opportunity arose due to the fact that before the transition of Crimea to Russia, repeaters on the peninsula were equipped by the Ukrainian side for broadcasting four multiplexes.
And at the end of the article, a short tour of the Tokyo Skytree. A mesmerizing view of Tokyo from the highest TV tower in the world (Tokyo Skytree height 634 m) to a pleasant song.
The installation of a TV antenna accessible to all viewers allows you to receive digital television in Moscow, on-air broadcasting is carried out in the dvb-t2 standard. The analog broadcasting system is becoming a thing of the past and will be permanently disabled in the near future. The reason for this is the improvement of technologies for the use of radio frequencies. If earlier there were no more than 18 programs from the Ostankino tower, then in 2016 there are already 30. The channels operate digitally and are grouped 10 at a single frequency, such a package is called "Multiplex".
- The first multiplex Ostankino TVK 30, frequency 546 MHz
- The second multiplex Ostankino TVK 24, frequency 498 MHz
- Test third multiplex Ostankino TVK 34, frequency 578 MHz
For local repeaters, broadcast settings may vary. The Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation provides for the widespread launch of twenty federal, free channels. You will find towers under construction and operating in the Moscow region in the right block of the current page.
Advantages of terrestrial digital television

Television, installed in compliance with all the rules, serves for a long time without service maintenance.
A large number of TVs can be connected to one antenna with a serial cabling.
digital quality
Interference-free and distortion-free image with DVB-T2 digital transmission system and high definition support.
No subscription fee
Free TV shows all federal channels, 20 programs have been officially launched and 10 are in test mode.
Reception of digital television in Moscow is possible on any TVs, with the difference that older models will need a dvb-t2 receiver. This is a small console with a separate remote control through which control is carried out. The signal from the antenna is fed to the receiver, and you can connect it to the TV with a tulip or scart cord. How to set up the receiver is described in the user manual. New types of flat TVs already have a tuner built in, look for dvb-t2 in the specifications and try to find digital channels. If it does not work, check the cable connection and find out if you have regular cable TV in your house.

The main part of the equipment set is the antenna, the quality of on-air television reception depends on its power. For Moscow, usually, an antenna with an average gain is enough. In some cases, a more powerful option is required. This happens when a country cottage, private house or cottage is located in a lowland and is surrounded by tall trees. The distance to the tower also plays an important role. Installation is desirable in the highest possible part of the house, installation is carried out on a small bracket or steel mast. The price of the work will vary depending on the complexity, the exact cost is calculated by the master according to the standard price list, taking into account current discounts and promotions. The connection is made to the existing cable wiring using an amplifier and dividers. The master can arrive the next day after receiving the order.
Free-to-air digital channels are becoming the new norm, providing a unique quality of service. TsTV confidently marches across the country, covering not only Moscow, but also many other large regions. And all because the age of modern technology implies the most rational and competent use of innovative technical means. Such as image-sound transmission using digital signal programming at specific digital frequencies. At the same time, the quality is transmitted at the highest level, absolutely not subjected to all sorts of interference. In connection with the expansion of bandwidth, it became possible to view a larger number of programs of a wide variety of topics. The exact lists are being specified for each individual region, which covers the federal broadcasting of CETV, but now you can connect to the most advanced television, which improves its services every season.
To view free-to-air channels in the Moscow region, you will need to purchase and install an individual UHF antenna. Your home TV must be equipped with a DVB-T2 digital tuner (digital TV standard). For older models, you need to buy a set-top box that supports MPEG 4 video signal compression, as well as Multiple PLP mode. After that, it is enough to professionally connect the equipment and set up the on-air DVB-T2 channels that are broadcast from the Ostankino TV tower. The coverage area today is almost 95% of the Moscow region.
An ordered list of TV frequencies is designed to make tuning as easy as possible, including older non-HD TVs. Today, open digital channels are broadcast without a subscription fee, in addition to the first, the second and third multiplexes were launched with the ability to view 10 programs in each, now there are already 20 of them. It is worth remembering that the equipment of the first generation of the DVB-T format is not capable of supporting the new standard, it officially shut down in early 2015. Having at your disposal a terrestrial antenna and a DVB-T2 tuner, you can easily connect a large package of news, entertainment, sports, and music programs.

Article 37. Erotic publications
×Law of the Russian Federation of December 27, 1991 N 2124-1 (as amended on July 13, 2015)
"About the media"
Distribution of releases of specialized radio and television programs of an erotic nature without signal coding is allowed only from 23:00 to 04:00 local time, unless otherwise established by the local administration.
For the purposes of this Law, a mass media specializing in messages and materials of an erotic nature means a periodical or program that generally and systematically exploits the interest in sex.
Retail sale of media products specializing in messages and materials of an erotic nature is allowed only in sealed transparent packages and in specially designed premises, the location of which is determined by the local administration.
A multiplex is a package of several digital channels broadcast on the same frequency. The number of channels in the multiplex may vary, but RTRS digital packages include 10 TV channels each. The first multiplex also includes three radio channels. Only 10 TV channels are broadcast in the second multiplex. TV channels are transmitted in standard definition SDTV. Despite the assurances of some unscrupulous marketers, the transmission of TV channels in HDTV format (high definition television) as part of terrestrial digital broadcasting has not yet been made. However, the vast majority of digital set-top boxes and TVs sold on the market support the HDTV format. This means that at the moment when RTRS decides to start broadcasting in high definition, viewers will not need to replace or upgrade their equipment to watch it.
Reception of the channels of the first multiplex is available in the vast majority of settlements in Russia. Broadcasting of the second multiplex is carried out mainly only in cities with a population of 50,000 or more. However, the range of many television towers in flat terrain often reaches 100 kilometers, so if you have a good antenna, both multiplexes can be received even at a considerable distance from the city. By the end of 2018, the launch of both multiplexes is announced at all RTRS towers, the number of which has already reached several thousand. Please note that peripheral towers, which are located in small towns, broadcast only a digital signal. Often, residents of such villages do not even suspect that the TV tower is “at their side” and even a room antenna and a DVB-T2 receiver are enough to receive channels.
Channels of the first and second multiplexes
The list of channels that make up RTRS-1 and RTRS-2 is approved by the government of the Russian Federation and, unlike analog television, it does not depend on the region of residence and is the same for all cities and regions of Russia.The first multiplex RTRS-1 includes channels: Channel One, Russia-1, Match TV, NTV, Channel Five, Russia-K, Russia-24, Karusel, OTR, TVCenter.
Channels in the second multiplex RTRS-2: RenTV, Spas, STS, Domashny, TV-3, Friday, Zvezda, TNT, MuzTV.
The table shows the channels that can be received from the Ostankino TV tower in Moscow and the Moscow region. The list is divided into two groups - digital DVB-T2 and terrestrial analogue. The operating frequencies, numbers, characteristics are indicated. All federal channels are broadcast free of charge. Coded or paid services are not yet provided. The distribution of digital program packages is going on multiplexes, each with 10 channels, 20 are already in normal mode and the third multiplex is being tested. The first and Russia 1 are in high definition HD. Broadcast breaks are regulated by the Prevention Schedule. Search and tuning are possible in automatic or manual mode. Cable TV is connected in most apartment buildings and in the general list you will find only the list provided by the operator. In this case, for reception, an external or internal independent antenna is required.
