How to set up DVB T2 on your TV

DVB T2 is needed to receive analog and digital signals. Thanks to this, you can watch channels in high quality.

How to set up DVB T2 on your TV

The setup process is identical for most types of receivers. The buttons and menu sections, as well as the general window interface, may be different. But the algorithm is the same for all devices.

Connect to digital television and setup is easy. To do this, you just need to connect the cable to the required connector and configure the channels. If your TV model is outdated and cannot receive such signals, you will need to purchase additional equipment.

The TV has a connector for an antenna, a tulip connector, and a Scart (for audio and video). Instead of the latter, the device may have an HDMI port. This is even better.

With a double connection via HDMI and tulip, you can switch the cable if necessary. But it is better to use HDMI for viewing as it guarantees good quality.

Reference! Also, when connecting, the distance to the tower transmitting signals is taken into account. To effectively tune the signal, you should install an antenna with a mounted amplifier on the street.

What difficulties may arise

There are times when it is not possible to set up DVB T2 reception. If there is such a problem, you need to make sure that there is no damage to the antenna. If it is intact, you need to check the direction. The antenna should be directed towards the tower.It is also necessary to install it outdoors; if you place it indoors, it will block the signal. If the user does not know where exactly the tower is located, torsion of the antenna will help. It must be moved very slowly and smoothly. As soon as the antenna makes contact with the tower, the device will work.

Attention! There are errors during the automatic channel search process. For example, the receiver found few channels or did not find them at all. A manual search will help.

It is also possible that the TV has found channels, but the quality of their display is very poor. This means that the antenna is turned towards the tower, but the contacts with it are bad. Try moving it a little. This problem can occur in bad weather.

Setting up DVB T2 on TV: step by step

To configure, we need a device called a receiver. It receives signals and transmits it to the TV. Signal sources: Internet, dish or antenna. The receiver is configured as follows:

1. First you need to take it out of the box and remove the covering film. Failure to remove it will cause the device to overheat.
2. Cut off the cable protection sheath. Its length is approximately 15 mm from the end. We clean the shell.
3. We bend the protective film and screw ports F to the wires.
4. We connect the cable to the receiver and TV.
5. The tulip wires are inserted into the receiver and monitor ports.
6. You can connect an antenna to the TV. It must be installed outdoors (house wall, balcony). Now you can start setting up.

Note! You need to be careful when stripping, as there is a risk of damaging the film covering the center conductor. It is needed for protection.

The setup is as follows:

1. We are looking for a menu. There we go to settings.
2. By default, the country should be specified. If not, we indicate it ourselves.
3. We select the language, region, mode and search format.
4. Set the signal format. Most often, DTV-T/T2 is placed at this point. This means that the TV can pick up both analog and digital signals.
5. The process of searching for channels has begun. You don’t need to do anything here; the device will find all available channels on its own. The search can be interrupted at any time and continued later. If necessary, you can choose the manual channel search method. Standard means that the TV will find all channels that are not on the TV. Manually means searching only those channels that are needed. For example, a user only watches sports and does not need channels with cartoons and TV series. The manual search method allows you to ignore the latter. To implement this, you need to set a frequency that broadcasts channels in your area of ​​residence. This can be found out from providers or on the Internet.
6. Once all channels are found, or you decide to pause the search, click the save button so as not to lose the found channels.

When setting the DVB-T/T2 format, the receiver will find all signals available in the area where the user lives. But to do this you need to install an antenna and turn it towards the transmitter.
