Satellite television operator Rainbow TV is a relatively young player in the television broadcasting market. The company started operating only in 2009. However, in a short time it has become a significant competitor to the old-timers of the market, attracting customers by providing exclusive channels.

Broadcast coverage is almost the entire territory of Russia. The signal quality is quite high; in many regions, a dish with a diameter of 65 cm is sufficient for reliable reception.

Unlike most operators, Raduga TV relies on thematic channels, while the number of federal channels is less than average. In total, the operator provides broadcasting of about 80 channels.

Rainbow TV channel packages:
1. Basic;
2. Promo;
3. All-Russian.

Many channels are broadcast in free mode, which allows you to view them for free, provided you have access to the operator’s network.

Rainbow TV has the following advantages:
1. High level service. In particular, setting up equipment and changing connected packages can be done using the operator’s website;
2. A large selection of specialized, thematic channels: Discovery, Euro Cinema, AXN Sci-Fi, etc. The variety of broadcasting and the availability of channels for almost any taste is the main advantage of the operator;
3. Availability of Viasat family channels.

There are also disadvantages:
1. Lack of an official free channel package;
2. Average, sometimes high cost of services;
3. A modest set of federal channels, which many consider insufficient.

Conclusion: Rainbow TV is suitable for an audience of individualists who prefer specialized channels to universal ones. The lack of a free package is somewhat confusing, but the price of basic access is comparable to the services cable television, and the variety of thematic channels is much greater.

Keep the antenna, but change the converter on it to a linear one. Be sure to redirect the antenna to the MTS satellite. Install a set-top box or cam module from MTS on your TV. If the antenna has a diameter of 0.55 m, change the antenna; MTS requires a minimum of 0.6 m.

From NTV Plus to MTS

From Telecard to MTS

If your previous operator is Telekarta (Continent, Orion-Express), then you can leave the entire antenna as before, along with the converter, since it is also suitable for receiving the MTS signal. Just connect the MTS set-top box/cam module to your TV, point the antenna at the desired satellite and enjoy watching.

From Raduga TV to MTS

Since the end of December 2014, the satellite operator RADUGA TV has stopped broadcasting.

The platform’s channels were broadcast from the ABS satellite (75° east longitude) - the same position also operates satellite television MTS, therefore, in order to continue watching satellite TV, former Rainbow subscribers do not need to completely replace and reconfigure their equipment - it is enough to purchase only an MTS set-top box/cam module. The antenna and converter do not need to be changed or configured in a new way.

If you do not intend to turn to qualified specialists for help in installing “” equipment, but want to connect to this operator yourself, you will need to perform several steps:

• buy a set of necessary equipment and install it;
• buy and activate an access card;
• pay for a package of channels.

Let's look at each in more detail.

1. Satellite signal

, which is located in geostationary orbit at position 75.0°E. The satellite is in a very convenient position for Russian TV viewers, since its signal covers almost the entire territory of our country (except Kamchatka), covering Europe. To reliably receive a signal from a satellite, the operator recommends using antennas with a diameter of 90 cm or more. The size of the antenna also depends on the region in which you live; more accurate information can be obtained from the regional representatives of the company. Also, you need to purchase a KU-band converter.

On the official website of Rainbow TV there is detailed instructions on setting up an antenna for the ABS-1 satellite. The setup is done using a satellite receiver. The resource dishpointer.com will help you calculate the settings.

2. Receivers

Operator "Raduga TV" encodes the signal in the Irdeto-2 system . To receive a signal, you must purchase a satellite kit that supports this system or has a CI interface where you can install a CAM module. Using the CAM module is very convenient if you are already a subscriber of another operator and want to try something new.

Unlike many other satellite television operators, Raduga TV does not tie its broadcasting to specific equipment, giving users a free choice of devices. But still, Raduga TV specialists highly recommend choosing equipment that is certified by Irdeto.

"LEM PLUS" - dealer of satellite operator Rainbow TV

Dear readers of NskTarelka.ru, based on the title of this article - What should Raduga TV subscribers do? - I think it’s clear what it will be about. The operator has ceased to exist, where to go?

I have previously written a publication on this topic -. Today we'll look at everything possible options transition from an operator that closed against its own will.

What should Raduga TV subscribers do after the cessation of broadcasting or where will Raduga TV subscribers go?

In Novosibirsk, the snow has not yet melted, and many of the “lucky ones” who have chosen the well-known brand of DalGeoKoma LLC as a summer cottage option do not even suspect anything. I'm talking about those who never set foot in the countryside in winter. In a week or two, calls will begin from the hacienda - Where did Rainbow TV go? I will talk about the fact that she is no longer beloved. And offer all existing options. Which? Let me tell you.

Rainbow TV channel update

We leave everything as is. A significant advantage of this option is that it is free if you do everything yourself. We update the channel list using scanning, and look at the available FTA channels. These are the ones that are not encoded and are freely available.

The list of FTA channels available for viewing from the ABC-2 satellite, and their parameters can be viewed on special services:
lyngsat frocus.net If you don’t know what to do about it, then read the article about.
We update the data in the receiver using automatic scanning or blind search, and watch available channels without a subscription fee.

The downside to this option is that there's not much to see. Then again, maybe this is enough for some.

If desired, you can purchase a multifeed (mount for several converters), two converters and a disc. You can add FTA channels from ABC-2 for viewing free channels from neighboring satellites.
Doing this yourself, without an installer, is not so easy. And if you resort to the services of a specialist, it is easier to switch to a Telecard for the same money that you would spend on additional equipment and payment for the installer’s work.

Who will replace Rainbow TV or switch to Telecard

Sometimes they ask me on the phone, exactly like this - Who will replace Rainbow TV? The answer is simple - Nobody. You, as a former user of Rainbow TV, decide for yourself which option to switch to another satellite TV is more acceptable for you. Either you leave everything as it is and watch FTA channels from ABC-2, which I already wrote about above, or choose another option that is more acceptable to you.

To make the channel list that opens more readable (larger), hold down the Ctrl key on your keyboard and click on the + key.

Tricolor TV - national operator

Thank God, they have already stopped “shouting” that they are people’s people.

Tricolor TV broadcasts TV channels from two satellites, from 36 and 56 degrees. One satellite covers the European part of the country, the other Siberia and the Far East. In some regions in between, both satellites are available.

You can view the list of channels on the official website tricolor.tv.

To switch from Rainbow TV to Tricolor, you will need to purchase a recommended operator receiver with an access card, replace the converter, reconfigure the antenna yourself, or call a specialist and pay for his work.

Satellite TV NTV Plus

The oldest satellite television operator. Broadcasting also comes from two satellites, from 36 and 56 degrees. NTV equipment will cost from 8,000 rubles. Next, we either reconfigure the antenna ourselves to the desired satellite or pay for the services of an adjuster.

In addition about the transition from Rainbow TV

When choosing the most suitable option for you to switch from Rainbow TV, I first recommend focusing on the list of channels offered by operators for viewing.
It is quite a common situation that even on official websites, information on the channels offered for viewing is outdated. If you are interested in a specific channel(s), do not be lazy and check whether it is available by calling the operator’s technical support.
