Increasingly, people’s homes can be seen DVB-T2 consoles, allowing you to watch digital TV. Digital TV has many more advantages than usual, which is why many are switching to it. And, of course, you need to start with the choice of the receiver. It is necessary to take into account the brand of the manufacturer, functionality, quality and, of course, price. Finally, acquiring a digital receiver, you must prepare it for use. But how to do that? In this article, you will learn how to connect and configure DVB-T2 digital television. Let's understand the issue together.
If you want to know how to set up a set-top box, then this article is for you.
The first step is to connect all the elements together. There is nothing difficult, see for yourself. Connect the antenna to the receiver, and the receiver itself - to the TV. That's all - ready! It is recommended to connect the console via an HDMI cable, of course, provided that the devices have the appropriate inputs and connectors. If HDMI is not supported, connect via regular tulips. With any model of the console in the kit there is an instruction in which it is clearly shown what needs to be connected with what.
Getting to the device connection
Please note that the setup process is the same for all models of digital receivers, so it does not matter what brand your prefix is. Of course, the design of windows and some names of sections of the menu may differ slightly, but the overall essence does not change.
To begin, select the connection method
After connecting the device, turn on the TV and set-top box. On the TV you need to select the video input to go to the menu of the receiver. If everything is done correctly, then on the screen you will see a window with a greeting in which you will need to select a language, region, mode and image format, as well as a search mode. Set the required parameters using the console console. Settings can not be changed and leave them by default. Click “OK” to go to the next window.
The first dialog box on the screen
If in the “Search Mode” section there is “DVB-T + DVB-T2”, then the receiver will immediately find all channels available for your region independently. But this method will work only if you already have a working antenna directed in the right direction. At the end of the auto search, you can close the menu and enjoy watching. Other users need to position the antenna. There is nothing difficult in this, all you need is to make several settings in the receiver's menu.
The list of available channels is downloaded manually or automatically.
In case you didn’t have an antenna before and it appeared just now, together with the DVB-T2 prefix, being in the welcome window, press the button to bring up the menu on your remote. Go to the “DVBT Setup” section and select “Channel Search”. In the window that opens, set the “Search Mode”. Here you can set both “by channel” and “by frequency”. There is no big difference - choose what you like best. Next, set the search bar "UHF".
To simplify the process of finding channels, go to a special site with information on frequency channels for your specific city. In principle, it is not necessary to do this, you can do without it, but this approach will facilitate and speed up the configuration process. Select the desired value in the "Frequency Channel". If the direction was chosen correctly, then after a couple of seconds you will see the filled “Signal intensity” and “Signal quality” scales at the bottom of the window. If the level of the scales is good, then click "Search". After that, the receiver will perform tuning in the specified frequency channel.
In that case, if you do not know the desired direction of the antenna, take it and gently twist it, watching the scales of intensity and quality. Once they are filled to an acceptable level, fix the antenna and search. Once the process of setting up the TV channels is complete, you can exit the menu and start watching.
Most models provide the ability to simultaneously connect through both Tulip and HDMI connectors.
If you simultaneously connected via “tulips” and via HDMI, you can switch from one cable to another in the process of viewing. It is better to watch it through HDMI, as in this case, the image quality will be much higher.
Now you can easily connect and configure DVB-T2 digital TV yourself. As you can see, to understand this issue is not difficult. Write in the comments if this article helped you and ask questions if some moments remained unclear.
