Digital TV from MTS

Digital TV broadcasting is a modern method of broadcasting TV channels using digital signals to transmit images and sound. The MTS provider uses GPON (Gigabit-capable Passive Optical Networks) technology, thanks to which
the Internet, IPTV and IP telephony are connected via one cable.

Note! The total throughput of such a fiber-optic cable is quite high – 1 Gb / s. Therefore, all data is loaded quickly, and the quality of the image and sound is preserved.

An IPTV connection may require a
digital set-top box . The average cost of such a device is 2900 rubles, the rental price varies from 10 to 110 rubles per month.

The number of set-top boxes is directly proportional to the number of connected TVs. The set-top box is not needed if the TV supports the DVB-C or DVB-C2 standard. In this case, the fiber optic cable is connected directly to the device.

Note! You can connect both a TV and other devices to IPTV from MTS, such as a
computer, tablet, smartphone , etc.

MTS customers can also use the Multiroom service, which will allow them to connect digital TV broadcasting on several devices at the same time. In this case, the active TV package will be available on any connected TV. There is no additional fee for the service.
