"Telecard" is a new partner project of the current Russian operator "Continent TV". At the same time, equipment is leased from the Orion Express project.

Initially subscribers of "Telecard" were users of a special package "Transitional" from "Continent TV". For all other customers, the opportunity to purchase and install new equipment is realized. If you read about the satellite antennas of "Telecard" reviews, you can find out that the encoding has changed. With a more expensive Irdeto, the company switched to Conax. This allowed us to significantly reduce the cost of purchasing and connecting both for the project itself and for new customers.

Essence of the project

To date, this project is the operator of affordable and democratic digital television. This is confirmed by the feedback. "Telecard" is a provider whose quality of service fully meets the cost.

All channels are broadcast from the newest American satellite Intelsat 15. Already more than nine beams from it cover practically the whole territory of immense Russia. At the same time, for different regions it is possible to install satellite dishes of different sizes, which will receive the signal just as well. This item will be useful to those who live in crowded cities, where everything is caused by third-party equipment.

In this case, it is not necessary to connect proprietary equipment, for example, an expensive receiver with a built-in card, as for "Tricolor TV." Any, even an inexpensive repeater will do. The main thing is to have a special decoder here Conax.

Also in the list of used equipment are included such standard elements:

• Smart card. First, you subscribe for one year. This is done in order to transfer the subscriber to a more favorable tariff from the second year.
• Satellite antenna. In this case for remote areas, plates with a large diameter, for example 0.8 m, are used. This makes the reception more qualitative. In other cases, antennas with a diameter of 0.6 m are used.
• Antenna mounts. Most often used brackets.
• Satellite converter. This is a special electronic device placed on the antenna itself. It performs the function of a converter and a frequency amplifier.
• Coaxial cable. For installation is only 15 meters.

All these elements constitute the standard satellite set of "Telecard". Feedback from users speaks about its quality and quite a democratic price.
