Equipment for connecting satellite television from MTS

To connect the service, you will need special equipment.
The installation kit consists of:

• antennas ;
• converter;

  

• coaxial cable and F-connector;
• TV set-top boxes with HD or CAM module function ;

  

• smart cards.

  

Important! When choosing an antenna, it is necessary to take into account the area of ​​\u200b\u200bresidence of the subscriber. So, for the main territory of the Russian Federation, a dish with a diameter of 0.6 m is suitable. In regions with a weak signal, for example, in Yakutia, Karelia, Primorsky Krai, the Republic of Sakha and the Kaliningrad region, it is recommended to install a mirror of a larger diameter – 0.9 m.

When choosing between a TV set-top box and a CAM module, we pay attention to the technical characteristics of the TV. For TV devices with a built-in DVB-S2 receiver, we purchase the module itself, for all the others – a set-top box. The number of set-top boxes / modules is directly proportional to the number of TVs.

Note! Installation equipment is recommended to be purchased on the official website of MTS https://sputnik.mts.ru/ or from company dealers. Here, all the subscriber’s data will be taken into account, and the most suitable set or its elements will be selected. The price of a complete set is 3100 – 6400 rubles. Installation can be received as a gift.
