Digital television in Chuvashia 2 channel package. When will analogue television broadcasting be turned off in Chuvashia? What is multiplex in digital television
20 free channels in Cheboksary
From January 1, 2019, 20 free TV channels are available for viewing throughout Russia. Previously, in cities with a population of up to 100 thousand people it was possible to receive only the first multiplex, that is, 10 free channels. To watch channels, you need a working UHF antenna and a receiving device: a TV no older than 2013 with a DVB-T2 tuner or a digital receiver that supports this format. Receiving equipment of DVB-T, DVB-C, DVB-S/s2 standards is not suitable.
Multiplex broadcast frequencies
Digital terrestrial TV channels are broadcast on two frequencies, each of which contains a package of 10 TV channels, which is called a multiplex. Below are the frequencies of the 1st and 2nd multiplex in Cheboksary.
1st multiplex: 46 TVK (674) MHz
2nd multiplex: 57 TVK (762) MHz
These frequencies can be useful when manually searching for channels and for tuning the antenna. You can find out more about how to do this on our website.
In your region, multiplex broadcasts are carried out at the upper limit of the decimeter range. For reliable reception of channels, we recommend using a “wave channel” antenna

Connecting digital terrestrial television in the village of CHEBOKSARY is one of the most popular services in Russia and the countries of the former Soviet Union.

HOW TO CONNECT TELEVISION IN CHEBOKSARY
You can check the technical feasibility of connecting digital terrestrial television in CHEBOKSARY, Cheboksary district, Chuvash Republic, by looking at the nearest TV tower on the digital broadcasting map and the presence of a digital antenna on it. If at least one of the two multiplexes has the “broadcasting” status, then you can set up digital television in CHEBOKSARY.

The shutdown of analogue TV in Russia has been postponed for two weeks. This was announced by the Deputy Minister of Digital Development, Communications and mass communications RF Alexey Volin. Previously, we recall that the process of transition from analogue to digital television broadcasting was planned to begin on January 1, 2019.
And no monthly fee
“I want to immediately console the sluggish citizens who will not purchase digital set-top boxes and new television receivers capable of broadcasting digital television before the New Year,” Volin noted in an interview with the Izvestia newspaper. - For them, we are extending the process of turning off analogue broadcasting of federal channels until January 14–15. People definitely have time to purchase the necessary equipment before the “analog” shutdown. The cheapest digital set-top box today costs less than a carton of cigarettes - 700–800 rubles.”
NUMBER
The digital terrestrial television broadcasting network built in Chuvashia includes 42 communication facilities.
Volin also emphasized that there will be no subscription fee for digital TV. “The task of digital terrestrial television,” he said, “is to give every citizen of Russia anywhere in the country the opportunity to watch 20 television channels first and second multiplexes. The average person never watches more than six channels constantly, no matter how many they have. The 20 channels that make up the first and second multiplex, the free information standard of the Russian Federation, are the channels that people choose in 90% of cases, and a couple of narrowly themed ones are usually added to them. Everyone can find television to suit their taste.”
According to Alexey Volin, a recent sociological study conducted in all regions of the Russian Federation showed that today less than 10% of citizens live outside of digital television, and in a number of regions there are only 2-3%. IN small towns and villages with a population of less than 100 thousand people, most residents today are able to receive only 10 digital television channels, but by the end of the year a second multiplex will be turned on throughout the country, so all viewers will be able to receive 20 high-quality television channels for free.
Ten plus ten
Well, how are things going in Chuvashia? Currently, the republic has launched broadcasting of the first multiplex, which includes 10 TV channels in modern digital quality, reports the Ministry of Digital Development, Information Policy and Mass Communications of the region. The signal covers 99% of the republic's population. Local news and programs from State Television and Radio Broadcasting Company "Chuvashia" are also available in the first multiplex. Today, another 10 TV channels of the second multiplex can only be watched in large cities - Cheboksary and Novocheboksarsk, as well as their surroundings and nearby settlements. But by the end of 2018, this signal can be received in the remaining territory of the republic.
BY THE WAY
List of digital terrestrial television channels: FIRST MULTIPLEX - Channel One, Russia 1, Match TV, NTV, St. Petersburg-5 channel, Russia-Culture, Russia-24, Karusel, OTR, TV Center; SECOND MULTIPLEX - REN TV, SPAS, STS, Domashny, TV 3, Friday, Zvezda, MIR, TNT, Muz-TV.
Let us clarify that TV viewers who have connected to paid cable TV (in Cheboksary, for example, these are the majority) will not be affected by the shutdown of analogue broadcasting. To receive terrestrial digital TV, a TV with a built-in DVB-T2 module and an antenna - individual or shared for a house or entrance - are sufficient. But for TVs without a built-in DVB-T2 module, you will need to purchase a digital set-top box.
The issue of transition from “analogue” to “digital”, experts note, is relevant mainly for regional centers and villages. However, in the outback they found another option - a satellite TV dish over an old log house in villages is no longer uncommon.

Residents of Chuvashia are increasingly turning to the editor with the question of how the transition to digital analog television will take place. We learned about this from the Minister of Digital Development, Information Policy and Mass Communications of Chuvashia, Mikhail Anisimov.
Mikhail Vladimirovich, will all residents of the republic have access to a digital signal?
In Chuvashia, the construction and operation of a digital terrestrial television network is carried out by the RTRS branch “RTPC of the Chuvash Republic”. In total, 42 digital terrestrial television broadcasting facilities were built and put into operation: almost the entire territory of Chuvashia is covered with a digital signal.
Today, residents of the republic can watch digital terrestrial television for free. Digital terrestrial television includes 2 multiplexes (package of TV channels). The signal from the first multiplex can be received in almost all settlements of Chuvashia. Broadcasting of the second multiplex was launched in Cheboksary and Novocheboksarsk, Alatyrsky, Batyrevsky, Poretsky, Shemurshinsky districts. By the end of 2018, this package of TV channels will be available everywhere. Wherever the TV viewer is - in the city or outback - there will always be a high-quality picture on TV screens.
There are also territories in Chuvashia that are not included in the broadcast zone of digital terrestrial television. There are 83 such settlements, with a population of about 8,000 people. In the near future we plan to sign an agreement with satellite TV operators so that residents of these villages and hamlets can receive equipment at a discount, and watch 20 TV channels for free.
Will additional equipment be required?
All modern TVs accept digital signals. It is enough to check in the instructions whether the equipment supports the DVB-T2 standard and buy a UHF antenna. If the TV is old (manufactured before 2013), you will also need a digital set-top box. Although there is no shortage of equipment in the republic’s stores, I advise you not to put off this issue until the last day.
When will analogue television be turned off in Chuvashia?
The shutdown will begin on April 15, 2019. After the analogue signal is turned off, a special information message will be broadcast on the analogue TV screens. By this time we plan to solve a number of important problems. First of all, to help socially vulnerable categories of citizens for whom receiving equipment is beyond their means. Now, together with the authorities, we are developing a regulatory document that will regulate the distribution of compensation for the purchase of digital set-top boxes and antennas.
Where can you find out more about digital television?
You can learn more about digital television and connection methods on the website smotritsifru.rf, the official website of the Ministry of Information Policy of Chuvashia, or by calling toll-free hotline 8-800-220-20-02. Also in the RTRS branch “RTPC of the Chuvash Republic” there is a “Consulting Support Center” at the address: Cheboksary, st. Nikolaeva, 10A. Here everyone can get all the detailed information for free.
I would like to note that all possible problematic issues have now been taken into account to make the transition to digital terrestrial television as comfortable as possible for all citizens.
