Rostelecom TV consoles - Description, Connection and Configuration

Interactive digital television Rostelecom TV Beginning of his procession around the country a couple of years ago. In our Saratov region, it all started with IPTV from now on not existing VolgaTelecom. At that time, the main competitor Volgtelecom was Beeline in the digital television market. TV from Dom.ru at that time the STB console subscribers did not give out subscribers, and connected cable TV on the coaxial. After VolgaTelecom was reorganized and became part of Rostelecom, a reboot of the entire service was carried out. Digital interactive television Rostelecom: A new SMARTLABS platform was bought, new experts were invited, developed with a single interface for all used IPTV models used. Work was held considerable. Separately, it should be noted that the adjustment of the service to the mind went and is constantly. Now Rostelecom makes a big bet on the development of the digital television service and literally any ways fighting for connecting new users.
Let's consider the features of the use of the service digital television Rostelecom.

5. TV prefix Rostelecom IPTV RT STB HD Standart


The IPTV RT Stb HD Standart TV prefix is \u200b\u200ban exact copy of the Infomir MAG-250 STB-console, with all its advantages and minuses. Completed consoles exclusively with software and remote control from SmartLabs. Recently, one feature has manifested itself - the strange work of the consoles in a pair with Roster Rostelecom Sagemcom Fast 2804 V7 Rev.1. The console must be first to flash and fully prepare for work in the Rostelecom network, and already connect to the router. Otherwise, the Sagemcom Fast 2804 V7 Rev.1 constantly disappears Ethernet-link on the port to which the prefix is \u200b\u200bconnected. Moreover, with a simple Sagemcom Fast 2804 V7, there is no such problem, only with version Rev.1.
Technical characteristics of IPTV RT Stbhd Standart are the same as MAG-250.

It should be noted that the quality of STB consoles Yuxing YX-6916A is very at the height - with marriage, in my memory, the console was not returned, devices work for years without complaints and complaints from users. There were problems with them when switching to software from SmartLabs - you had to re-flash consoles.

Rostelecom digital television connection schemes.

There are several schemes for connecting the TV consoles Rostelecom, allowing you to connect the device as a cable, via Wi-Fi and using PLC adapters.

1. Standard connection of the TV console.

In 90% of cases, the prefix is \u200b\u200bconnected using an Ethernet cable that the installer smokes around the apartment from the router to the TV.
The main inconvenience of such a scheme is that you need to hide a LAN-cable somewhere, otherwise you will constantly stumble through it. But such a connection is more reliable than Wi-Fi and not so sensitive to electromagnetic interference.

2. Connecting TV consoles via Wi-Fi.

There can already be several options.
- The first option offers Rostelecom using Motorolla 2400 wireless media bridges:

Plus, there is a mediamosphere to transmit a mediamosphere with a range of 5 GHz, which is currently used now. In addition, the Motorolla VAP2400 mediamost allows you to transmit data to very large distances for Wi-Fi. Cons - the price of a mediame rate is rapidly - about 5,000 rubles for a couple of devices. The second minus is a very strange setting process: so that the adapters see each other and picker - you need to perform a number of shamanic actions.
As an alternative to devices from the engine, you can use cheaper devices from D-link or TP-LINK. Savings will be from 1 to 1.5 thousand rubles.
- The second option is to use the Wi-Fi router module and a Wi-Fi adapter from the Rostelecom TV console.

Rooms may arise in the fact that the router should be able to logically separate Wi-Fi from LAN ports. In addition, it is necessary to choose such a Wi-Fi adapter model that will work with a TV prefix.

But here you can go to cunning, and instead of a USB adapter to buy a simple access point, which can work in Wi-Fi client mode.

3. Connecting TV consoles via an electrical network using POWERLINE PLC adapters.

PowerLine adapters allow you to block the local network through electrical using special POWERLINE adapters:

A pair of PLC adapters will come out about 2.5-3 thousand rubles. Plus such an option in the same data reliability, as with a direct cable connection. Minus one - with significant voltage jumps in the electrical network, adapters can burn out, and after them can burn the LAN-port on the router or TV console.

Can I connect IPTV without a console.

Yes, you can. Recently, Rostelecom is actively promoting its service for fun, on which you can subscribe to the TV channel packages and view digital television from the computer screen, laptop, tablet or smartphone.

In addition, Rostelecom actively introduces the Zabava application as pre-installed on LG TVs. The queue Samsung and Phillips.
Connect the home service Digital TV Rostelecom without renting the consoles You can hardly be able to succeed, since the passport of the service provides for the transfer of the TV console subscriber for rent or redemption.

Is it possible to watch digital television on smart TV TVs (Smart TV).

Now, with the development and growth of the popularity of smart TV televisions, widgets began to appear, allow you to download the playlist and play video from it. Difficulties arise in the fact that users of smart TV want on the Internet from the TV page to view and digital TV Rostelecom watch. And this hardware is difficult to implement. The point here is that for the work of the TV console Rostelecom to the router, one of the LAN ports is separated from the general group and is made in a transparent bridge to the provider's network, from which the prefix catches the IP address, draws the firmware and playlist channels. So you have to push the cable to one port of the router, then in another. Assist in some cases can the option of the UDP-to-HTTP Proxy router, but not always, unfortunately.

Can a TV prefix Rostelecom show video from a USB flash drive?

Previously, user video files from a USB drive remained in the cloud, and each subscriber was allocated space 7 gigabyte with the possibility of paid expansion up to 30 gigabytes. Here Rostelecom has encountered that after downloading the video, it was necessary to process it in order to send to the subscriber later. Transcoders did not cope with the load, the video was processed by months - respectively, the service quickly lost popularity and began to cause unslapted complaints. As a result, by the end of 2013 it was decided to make the opportunity to view the video from the flash drive directly.

Now all the consoles can play video from USB flash drives, but restrictions on supported video and audio codecs. So, if you do not have a sound when playing a movie - Try to take the movie by another codec.

Is it possible to use a TV prefix somehow.

Such a question often set disconnected subscribers who bought the TV console Rostelecom and now do not know what to do with it. Unfortunately, this equipment is unlikely to use somewhere else. The exception is the TV consoles from the Info - MAG 200 and MAG-250, as well as RT HD Standart - these models can be reflashing with standard software from the info and use as a media player with all the resulting. Also, I saw the SMARTLABS SML-282 HD and SML-482 HD consoles with the MTS logo. So it may be possible to somehow use the prefix from this operator. Other models will lie in a dead cargo.

Where to download the firmware on for the Rostelecom TV console?

Rostelecom TV consoles are configured in such a way that when it is connected to the provider's network, the SmartLabs firmware is automatically downloaded from the network. Download the firmware for IPTV STB console Rostelecom you will not work independently, and having it on your hands - you can hardly pour it on your own on your own.

How to update the firmware?!

To update the firmware version of your IPTV console, you just need to completely reboot it. When loading, the prefix will check the presence of a new version of software and if there is this - automatically update the firmware of the console. If you have problems with digital television, Rostelecom is first to restart the prefix - it is possible to update the firmware.

On some models of TV counterrests, Rostelecom can install HDD hard drive. How can I use it on the console?

Yes, on a number of console models, the manufacturer provides the ability to install a hard disk 2.5 ". But even if you install it in the prefix, it does not know how to work with a hard disk today: the transmission goes to the cloud, and the video prefix can only be played with a USB flash drive.

How to find out the MAC address of TV consoles?

The MAC address of your TV console Rostelecom is indicated in the sticker on the bottom panel of the device. Also, it may be a sticker with a serial number and a MAC address on the box from the console.

The second method - after loading the menu of the operator, go to the Setup section \u003d\u003e System Information.

How to set up a remote to console Rostelecom TV?

Detailed instructions and codes for setting up the Rostelecom TV console -. Reset the settings of the Rostelecom TV settings -.

Purpose of the buttons of the Rostelecom console:

The remote is broken - where can I buy a remote for the Rostelecom TV console?

In the stores of the console for STB-console Rostelecom you cannot buy, as they do not go to retail trade. You can purchase a console in the Rostelecom subscriber department. The price of the console is about 350 rubles.

Is it possible to configure the control of a TV prefix with a third-party universal console?

The practice of using third-party universal consoles to manage TV-consoles Rostelecom is not. Try to train the remote to each button of the console console.
