Yota TV review.


The use of Yota Mobile WiMAX technology makes it very convenient to use mobile television services. This service makes it possible to play various television programs on the HTC MAX 4G communicator, as well as on other PDAs, communicators, and laptops that support Yota WiMAX.

Russian operators today have 22 different television channels available, such as: Vesti 24, A-One, RBC TV, Music Box Ru, Bridge TV, Muz-TV, 7-TV, Universal - Fashion TV, Mezzo, Luxe TV, Mother and Ditya, O2TV, DW-TV, France24, Bibigon, MGM, World Fashion Channel, First Game, ChansonTV, PRO Money, World, NSTV. However, the channel list is constantly expanding and new channels become available to the user.

This unique opportunity is currently available only to Yota operator WiMAX. You can view both regular Russian channels and specialized ones - entertainment, music and news. This service allows you to play both Russian and foreign TV channels by pressing one finger. If necessary, HTC MAX 4G allows you to connect this device to watch TV if necessary.

It is especially convenient for the user that several television channels can be displayed on the communicator channel at once. If necessary, you can view a different program 2 days in advance.

The quality of television programs in Moscow is at a fairly high level. Unfortunately, high-quality television broadcasts are not carried out everywhere, but only in the network coverage area, and outside the network coverage area, the quality of television broadcasts leaves much to be desired. Despite this, it is possible to ensure quite acceptable image quality using wireless connection Wi-Fi.

An amazing Yota TV project has started operating in Moscow, providing users with the opportunity to use mobile television.

Broadcasting format – DVB-H. In total, the ability to view the following list of programs has been implemented:

  • Bibigon.
  • St. Petersburg 5 Channel.
  • Vesti24.
  • Muz TV.

All channels are broadcast in real time without errors. The quality corresponds to satellite TV. In addition, you can highlight the ability to view the upcoming program schedule within 2-3 days. It is determined in advance which channel to open for viewing and at what time.

Multiple channels can be displayed on the screen to select the final one to watch. They switch among themselves. No program will be missed, even if it is shown together with others on different channels.

Yota TV is provided completely free of charge, regardless of whether you have a telecom operator SIM card. It is enough to have a mobile device with DVB-H support. The mobile network provider will not make any difference. The main reason is the broadcast test mode. Each user must evaluate the quality of the programs and conditions of use.

Nowadays, TV models with Internet access (Smart TV) are becoming increasingly popular. A very convenient feature that adds the ability to watch digital channels and at the same time have direct access to the Internet.

How to connect the Internet to your TV

IN modern models TV now you can find very useful options: built-in Wi-Fi (there are models with a distribution function), Enternet input (LAN patch cord), USB input. These three additional features and will allow you to connect your TV to the Internet.

Let's look at all these possibilities in order:

  1. The USB input is used to connect additional equipment to the TV and through which Internet access is already configured.
  2. Wi-Fi (built-in) in the TV is a very useful addition. You don’t have to drag a patch cord across all rooms to connect the TV to the router. Just buy a router with a Wi-Fi distribution function and the problem of the Internet on TV and other mobile phones devices in your home is solved.
  3. The Enternet input can be used for a direct connection or using a router method. In some cases, with a direct connection, the Internet may not work, but more on that later

Enternet does not work when connected directly to TV

This situation is possible and quite often. The fact is that the Internet can only work if your provider uses Dynamic IP connection technology, and does not use MAC address binding. In other cases, only connecting through a router (router) will save you, but before that You need to call your provider and find out what technology they use - Static IP, PPPoE, L2TP, or PPTP. And/or binds by MAC address.

Dynamic IP and your Internet will start working immediately (provided that the MAC address binding function is not enabled)

Static IP Your Internet will start working after manually registering the IP address given by your provider.

It is not possible to set up a PPPoE, L2TP, or PPTP connection on a TV (on most brands). Wherein prerequisite remains - connecting the connection through the router (router)

MAC address binding function -

to do this you need to log in Menu TV product information and write down the MAC address of your device. Next, change the MAC address to Personal account or by calling the provider directly.

Setting up a connection on your TV

Let's sort it out this stage using the example of LG TV.

All settings are done

Russian telecommunications company Yota recently launched its new interesting project Iota TV, which provides its users with the opportunity to use mobile television. You can watch online programs broadcast on eight popular channels.

Yota TV - online broadcasts of TV shows: what is the essence of the project and how it works

Yota company providing services cellular communication, home TV and high-speed 4G Internet launched its own mobile television service. For now, its coverage area is limited and it is operating in trial mode. The possibility of using this service is implemented in Moscow. There are 2 possible broadcast formats: via Mobile WiMAX and using DVB-H technology. Broadcasting is carried out without failures in live broadcast mode. The transmission quality corresponds to the quality of satellite television.

Closer to the center of Moscow, the quality of broadcasting is good, but on the outskirts or when leaving the network coverage area, the quality of the broadcast drops significantly, since it is conducted via the Internet. Indoor broadcast quality can be significantly improved if, instead of mobile internet use wireless Wi-Fi connection. If necessary, you can view the program schedule for the next 2-3 days. In order not to forget about watching a program, you need to turn on notifications that notify you about the start of the broadcast or turn on the desired program at a given time.

The application also has the ability to simultaneously display several channels on the display, which makes it convenient to select the programs you are watching. Programs are freely switched between each other, which allows you not to miss a single program, even if they are shown at the same time on different channels.

To be able to use the service, you do not have to be a subscriber of this mobile operator.

What channels are broadcast online?

Today the service allows you to broadcast eight TV channels: NTV, Muz TV, ORT, RTR, Channel 5-Petersburg, Bibigon, 7TV and Vesti24. The list of available TV channels changes periodically. For all channels it is possible to view the program schedule for several days in advance.

Yota TV: how to connect

Service cost

The Yota TV service is provided free of charge, regardless of whether you have an ETA SIM card. It is enough to have a mobile device with support for DVB-H or Mobile WiMAX technology. The cellular provider is not important, since the service is not tied to a SIM card.

The main reason for such open access to the service is the test broadcast mode. The company’s current task is to popularize the use of mobile television; first, everyone should be able to evaluate the quality of broadcasting, and finding ways to monetize is the next stage.

The term “Smart TV” or Smart TV arose relatively recently in the West, but now it is becoming a reality for Russian market electronics. What makes a TV “smart” is its access to the Internet. For the first time, a set-top box that played online videos on a TV screen was presented in 2007 by the head of Apple Steve Jobs. However, Korean companies went even further and began to introduce network cards and USB ports into their TVs. In this light, it seems quite logical for a new product from the Russian Internet provider Yota to appear on the market - a modem compatible with TV.

A hybrid of television and the Internet in one device is a long-standing dream of world developers. Despite this, most modern TVs are still not able to connect to the World Wide Web: the USB port in them is used to play information from flash cards and other storage devices, but not at all to recognize the modem. The fact is that they lack traditional computer functionality, and therefore are not able to load a driver from the modem. Meanwhile, the new Yota One gadget, unlike previous models of the Yota line, does not require installation when activated additional programs. The entire system package remains in the device itself and works autonomously. This function, in addition to televisions, applies to all devices without a user interface: game consoles, video cameras, media players - provided that they are equipped with the RNDIS/CDC protocol. At the moment, Yota is collaborating with DrayTek, D-Link, Asus, Panasonic, Sony and a number of other companies that have the opportunity to expand the functionality of their devices at low cost.



Together with USB Yota modem One other device will arrive in stores – Yota Many. This is a portable Wi-Fi router that will replace the classic “egg” Yota Egg. It belongs to the same price category, but compared to its predecessor it has expanded capabilities. In particular, Yota Many holds a charge for up to 24 hours and has a compact size that allows the user to stay in touch around the clock. You can charge the router from any available computer, and in this case it is equipped with a rotating USB and microUSB connector, allowing you to leave the adjacent port free. This function, as well as support for basic operating systems(Linux, Windows and Mac) Yota Many is similar to the Yota One modem. However, its main purpose is related to wireless access to the Network. The Yota Share option allows you to instantly create an open Wi-Fi network for friends without revealing the password. Up to 8 devices can be connected to Yota Many at the same time.
