Analog television is gradually fading into the background. Its place is rapidly being taken by the free IPTV Rostelecom. And this is really convenient, because it is more pleasant to watch digital channels because of the better picture and sound. But first, you need to clarify some points.

What is free IPTV from Rostelecom?

When a user enters into an agreement with this company for the provision of digital television services, the base tariff is connected, which includes a set of paid and free programs. Moreover, even after blocking due to non-payment list free channels still remains available to the user.

What channels can I watch for free?

These IPTV channels can be watched for free:

"Russia 1".
"Russia K".
"Match TV".
Channel Five.
"Carousel".
"TV Center".
"First channel".
"Russia 24".

Connecting a tariff with a minimum fee will cost 320 rubles per month. 126 channels will be available this month. In case of non-payment, only 10 channels will work. This is free IPTV from Rostelecom.

It is worth noting that only a few users do just that. But compared to other providers, which immediately cut off access to services in case of non-payment, Rostelecom acts more humanely. And such a "trick" on their part with shareware is really nice.

IPTV settings from Rostelecom via a router

Often, users watch IPTV TV on a computer via a Wi-Fi router. This is the easiest, because you do not even need a prefix and set up, respectively, nothing is needed. It is only important that your router supports IGMP. Almost all modern routers support it.

IGMP has been successfully used to support streaming video, which is ideal for IPTV implementation. To directly watch the video, you need to go to your personal account (your account) on the provider's website and select the iptv track (link).

Now install the IPTV player. LVC Player or Ace Stream Player is ideal. it free programs, which can be downloaded from the official website of the developer. Install the program, open it. Click "Tools - Options - All - Playlist". There will be a line "Default Stream". Paste the link from which you copied to personal account your account. Now save your changes and restart the program. When you restart the channel, the broadcasting of the channels will begin, you can switch them by clicking on the "Show playlist" button. There will be output full list available for viewing IPTV Player Channels... Click with the mouse 2 times on the channel you like, and its display will start immediately.

IPTV settings from Rostelecom via a set-top box

Setting up a set-top box in any case involves setting up a router. In the router itself, we need to make a "bridge" between two ports - LAN and WAN. It is important to note that this feature is not available on all routers, and in some it is called differently. For example, in TP-LINK routers, you need to enable it in the Network - Bridge settings. V Asus models it's called "Wan Bridge Port". For IPTV channels to be displayed successfully, we need to connect the set-top box to the WAN port. But this port is occupied by internet cable by default. Therefore, you should create a "bridge" between the WAN and the LAN port. And then we will connect the set-top box to the LAN port, which, thanks to our configuration, is now also a WAN port.

Functional check

Immediately before setting up IPTV from Rostelecom, it is necessary to check whether IPTV works at all, and whether there are any errors on the side of the provider. To do this, we connect a computer or laptop to the provider's cable directly. This is easy to do. Above has already described the way how to do this. If the picture appears on the screen, then everything is fine. You can proceed directly to the setup.

Configuring the router

The first thing to do is create a bridge between the WAN and LAN port. Open the router settings, select "Network - Bridge" from the menu. There will be a line "LAN port bridged with WAN". Here we can choose which port to combine with the main one. WAN port... Let's choose, for example, 1. This means that now the WAN port will be combined with LAN1. It is in it that we need to connect the prefix.

Important: if you have several IPTV set-top boxes, then in the settings you need to select a bridge between two LAN and WAN ports. There is a corresponding option in the drop-down menu.

Connecting to a set-top box

After configuring the router, connect the set-top box to it (to the LAN1 port). Now we connect itself Usually, for this, an HDMI cable is used, which should be included with the set-top box itself. If this is an old model, then the HDMI interface and cable may not be included. Then we connect the set-top box to the TV using tulips. Although if there is an HDMI interface, but there is no cable, it is better to just buy the cable itself. The picture will look much better through HDMI.

Source selection

Now we take the remote control from the TV (not from the router) and select the "Source" menu (or something like that). Here we need to select the "Source" HDMI, that is, the interface that includes the cable from the set-top box. Usually the source button has the form of a square with an arrow or the inscription "Source". If the set-top box was connected via tulips, then select the "RCA" source. Have you chosen a source? Fine! We are waiting for the download of the IPTV TV set-top box.

Working with the remote control

Usually the set-top box boots quickly (ten seconds). If you did everything correctly, then already at this stage a list of TV channels that are available for viewing will be displayed on the TV screen. Switch between them using the console from the console and choose the one you like.

If you are watching a TV channel and want to select another one, then press "OK" on the remote control. This button usually activates the TV channel list. Now select another channel and press "OK" again. So, with the help of one "OK" button and the arrows, you can already use almost the full functionality of the set-top box. Then you will figure out for yourself how to add channels to your favorites (they will be displayed the very first), watch the TV program, etc.

Problems with setting up IPTV from Rostelecom

During the setup process, you may encounter various problems. Answers to basic questions will be described below.

Problem 1. On the router latest firmware, the bridge is set up, but the television still does not work.

Solution: first, it's worth checking if the TV works without a set-top box. Connect the ISP cable directly to your computer. Even if television does not work in this way, then the problem is on the side of the provider. Call in technical support and resolve the issue with them.

Problem 2. The router does not support bridge (Bridge function). Television still works, but the picture quality suffers.

This is logical, because without the Bridge function, the load on the router increases significantly, and the image quality depends directly on the workload of the router. If the TV is not connected using Bridge, then the image quality will suffer when using torrent, DC ++ and other data download programs on the computer. Try limiting the download speed (you can set the download speed limit in the program settings), this should solve the problem. In general, it is better not to connect more than one IPTV set-top box to routers without Bridge support.

Problem 3. You have several IPTV set-top boxes for two TVs, and a router without Bridge function. Naturally, the router will not be able to provide a normal video stream to 2 TVs at once. In this case, there is also a solution - you need to use a simple switch. We connect 2 set-top boxes to it, the provider's cable and the cable from the router from the WAN port.

Problem 4. If the provider provides a connection to the set-top box only via a cable. Not all users want to drag different wires through the apartment. The problem is especially relevant if the TV is in a remote corner of the room, to which it is difficult to lay wires.

There is also a solution in this case - use the TL-WA701ND access point, which will allow you to connect IPTV set-top box and a router via Wi-Fi interface. But to do this, you will have to install a special firmware on the access point.

Nothing works

If even after the operations performed you still fail, then you need to call the provider and ask the support service to help you. It is also difficult to solve the problem over the phone, so the company may send a specialist to your home. Usually, his services are paid only if the problem arises from the actions of the client. If it turns out that it is the provider's fault (for example, if it was he who sold you a router with defects), then the call and assistance of a specialist will not be paid.

It is possible that the problem may be in the hardware of the set-top box. In this case, it is best to contact the seller or return it under warranty. If on the next set-top box you manage to correctly enter the settings for IPTV from Rostelecom and everything works, it means that the problem really was in the set-top box itself.

Viewing programs of any subject at a time convenient for you was not so long ago impossible. Modern television is filled with information rubbish, and each channel always tries to impose its own advantageous point of view. But, today you can already independently choose what to watch. In particular, Internet television in high digital quality is available to users on a computer, which many have heard of under the term IPTV.

For ordinary TV channels, often offered by providers in "packages", the user pays in fact for everything. But, in fact, only a few of them are target for him. At the same time, having Personal Computer and a high-speed Internet connection from Rostelecom or the Beeline telecom operator - you can easily create your own information broadcast. Simple program VLC media player, favorably distinguished by its versatility and multiplatformity, together with the services of the beeline provider as a whole, it works as its own relay tower. And to customize it "for yourself" is extremely simple.

The choice of speed and quality is the price of the issue

Often the question arises who is better to contact for the provision of Internet provider services. Everything is quite simple - watching digital TV via the Internet can be ordered from almost any cable TV operator. Rostelecom has already developed and successfully implemented its own technology that allows viewing channels offered by television using IPTV technology. It is even easier to connect a computer to network TV broadcasting, find out the broadcast schedule and get much more. By the way, these same opportunities are available to customers of Beeline, as well as other telecom operators.

Almost any communications company operates as both a cable TV operator and an Internet service provider. That is, in order to implement iptv technology on your computer, you only need to choose a suitable tariff, provider and install the appropriate software... All that remains is to enjoy how the PC works as a TV, but according to your TV channel schedule.

And not only the implementation of improved TV functions on a computer is the advantage of this media player. Popular operators of the Beeline level are successfully developing and implementing custom service packages that expand the capabilities of the technology digital broadcasting... You just have to choose a suitable tariff and its bonuses, since the IPTV technologies of both Rostelecom and Beeline essentially work identically.

Choosing the right provider

So, we found out that the big difference is which operator to choose in order to set up your computer to receive network television. But, there is an important nuance - normal TV viewing in high quality is possible only if there is a high-quality connection with a speed of at least 5 Mbps. Today the market offers a wide range of providers - Rostelecom is able to provide the specified speed. The operator also copes with this. mobile communications beeline. Various tariff plans, channel packages, bonuses and promotions are created for certain categories of users for their maximum comfort.

Advantages of digital broadcast technology

This technology has more capabilities than the standard cable TV... Let's make sure of this.

Each TV channel is broadcasted in excellent quality, including HD quality.
To watch network channels, you only need to have installed on your computer universal program VLC media player, and your provider, for example, Beeline, provided a stable connection to the network at a speed of 5 Mbps.
Do not pay any more attention to the weather, if the setting is made correctly, then in rain and snow and in heat the player works perfectly without interruptions.
VLC media player is easy to customize for a convenient broadcast package of any topic.

Watch in excellent quality what you choose, and not what is compulsorily obliged by the TV companies.

With all this, you do not need to search for any playlists, as before, install players and create additional router functions. The method is much more ordinary and successful, but to the chagrin it is not suitable for those who want to watch Rostelecom TV for free, since you must subscribe to Interactive TV to watch it.

For whom is this method comfortable? At first, for someone who has Rostelecom's Digital TV connected, but who wants to watch television on a computer as well. Or there are 2 TV sets in the house, but there is no desire to connect a multiroom and install a second set-top box. Also, a subscription to the fun will be comfortable for those who want to watch TV in good quality on a computer or Smart TV set via the Internet using a special application or browser.
