Rostelecom viewing management service

The new View Control service opens up even more opportunities for interactive television for Rostelecom subscribers. Everyone who at least once missed their favorite program or an interesting film due to the fault of circumstances will undoubtedly appreciate and love this service. Below we will discuss the features, benefits and principles of using this convenient service.

Main functions of View Control

As the name suggests, the service allows you to manage the viewing of programs in such a way as to watch TV at a convenient time for yourself. Its benefits are listed below.

Recording programs

This function is available for Premium and Standard set-top boxes. Premium set-top box owners can record programs on the hard drive of the set-top box as long as there is space. Then, when recording new programs, the old recordings are deleted. However, the subscriber can mark any of them as indelible.
For users of the Standard set-top box, there is a 7 GB space on the network drive of the operator for recording programs and broadcasts. The volume can always be increased for an additional fee.

Program archive

It allows you to view the program guide for the last 72 hours - their record is stored on the operator's disk. Moreover, when viewing through the archive, the transfer can be stopped or rewound at any time.

Pause

This handy feature allows you to stop the program and continue watching it later. Supported on almost all channels.

View first

Have you ever turned on the TV and got interested in some movie or program, and regretted that you turned on the TV too late? With the "View First" function, you will forget about these unpleasant sensations. Now you can rewind any program you like and watch it from the beginning.

How to connect the service?

To connect "View Control" you do not need to go anywhere and even call the operator. You just need to go to the console menu, and then follow the instructions:

Service cost

All of the above services have a very attractive cost - 50 rubles per month for subscribers and 100 rubles for legal entities. As already mentioned, additional recording space on a network server is provided for a fee, depending on the number of gigabytes added. You can buy them in the set-top box menu, in the "Service Management" - "File quotas" section.

Service deactivation algorithm

It is very similar to the connection procedure. To understand how to disable the service, carefully study the instructions for activating it, described above. The first three points will be absolutely similar. After you get to the "View Control" section, instead of connecting, the "Disconnect" command will be displayed at the bottom. Select it and press the confirm button.

How to use?

There is nothing difficult in this. To work with interactive TV, you only need a remote control. Just below the confirmation button is the view control panel, namely the pause / play button and two rewind keys.

Another way to control playback is to press the down key while browsing. A menu will appear on the screen, as in a regular video player, with which you can stop and rewind the viewing. To close the pop-up panel, press Up or Back, depending on the remote control model.

If there is an interesting program on two channels at the same time, then there is an opportunity not to miss any of them. It is enough just to pause the transmission on one channel, watch what interested you on the other in real time, and then switch back and watch what you started. To do this, go to the settings and enable the save pause function.

To watch the program from the beginning, go to its name in the program and select "Watch from the beginning" in the opened card.

And in order not to miss an episode of your favorite series, after watching something on another channel, it is possible to set a reminder. To do this, in the program guide, click on the name of the movie you are interested in and in the card that opens, click "Remind".

In the same place, in the movie or program card, next to the reminder icon, there is an entry. Just click on it and the recording will automatically start as soon as the broadcast starts. If you want to record a program or series daily, click on "Record all episodes" in the card. You can undo this action there. You can view the recorded in the menu, in the "My" - "Records" section. Their storage period is 1 month, then they are automatically deleted. To save them for a longer period, add entries to the archive.

For ease of viewing, the channels are divided by genre:

1. From 1-99 - "local", federal and regional.
2. 100-199 - cinema.
3. 200-299 - channels for self-education.
4. 300-399 - for children.
5. 400-599 - entertainment and music.
6. 600-699 - sports.
7. 700-799 - ethnic.
8. 800-899 – 18+.
9. 900-999 - HD channels.

Adding any channel from this list to your favorites is very simple - you just need to hover over it, press the "Right" key - the suggestion "Add to favorites" will appear, press the Ok button. You can also find them in the console menu, in the "My" tab.
