Rostelecom ip television set-top box repair. Everything about renting Rostelecom equipment. Wi-fi routers Rostelecom

The situation is as follows: I have a telephone installed from their company, connected through the equipment they have installed. Now a situation has arisen that I need to refuse this phone, but Rostelecom does not want to terminate the contract with me, arguing that I myself must personally remove the equipment installed by them and bring it to their office. If they themselves will rent their own equipment, then they are ready to do it only at my expense, for a separate fee.

Hello. Last December, he signed an agreement with Rostelecom for the provision of communication services (Internet and television).

Services under tariff plans are provided only if the subscriber purchases a set of subscriber equipment from Rostelecom in installments.

Equipment sales are charged monthly along with the cost of the services provided. I paid for everything in full, without delay.

Rostelecom - Once and for all - (Page 2 of 25)

this is already interesting.

I was told on the phone that everything can be returned without any sanctions at any time.

And that in the first year you don't have to pay for a TV set-top box at all, and the monthly fee will be 350 rubles. including the rental of a router.

When the equipment is sold in installments for 48 months, the fee is charged from 13 to 48 calendar months inclusive after the date of the conclusion of the purchase and sale agreement, the fee from 1 to 12 months is not charged.

If the Subscriber refuses to use the services included in package offerDuring the first month of the service, the Subscriber has the right to return the equipment purchased from OJSC Rostelecom, provided that the equipment is fully completed and the packaging is intact. In this case, Rostelecom refunds the equipment cost paid by the subscriber.

So, preamble: in a rented apartment, I connected to this provider.

The master came, installed a Rostelecom fiber-optic router, charged me one ruble (literally one ruble) for the connection (the router is put into temporary use). After some time, I bought myself an apartment and moved out of the old address, while leaving the equipment to the owners, motivating this by the fact that after all, they will rent the apartment after me and the Internet will be needed there anyway.

Six months ago I rented a router from Rostelecom, which I successfully rented for two months.

I returned and paid the rent in full. The woman checked the package - everything was in order (I returned it due to a faulty wi-fi module). She said that if the malfunctions arose through my fault, then the specialists would call me back and I would have to pay for the repair of the router (the specialists did not call).

The subscriber was not notified of the results of the consideration of the application.

Internet service provision was not restored.

general information

The macro-regional branch "Center" of PJSC "Rostelecom" (MRF "Center") operates in Moscow, the Moscow region and the Central Federal District. MRF "Center" on the basis of its own high-tech transport network provides a full range of telecommunications services to both private and to corporative clients: voice communication, high-speed Internet access using various technologies (FTTх, xDSL, хPON), data transmission services, wire and terrestrial radio broadcasting, cable and digital television, as well as connection and traffic transmission services for other telecom operators.

Recently on Avito and other sites with free classifieds there are more and more advertisements for the sale of various equipment purchased from Internet providers when connected. The winner is the Rostelecom router and STB set-top boxes.
This happens because this operator provides its equipment either to a meeting at full price, or by installments. In the latter case, when the contract is terminated, it is usually necessary to pay the remaining amount. Accordingly, after the subscriber disconnects, he has no more needed hardware in his hands and he gets rid of it trying to get at least some means back.

How to terminate the agreement for Rostelecom services and return the equipment?

Moreover, you can often find very great offers.
In this article, I want to answer a question that readers often ask me in the comments; I bought a used prefix Rostelecom. What to do with it?;. Here very practically everything depends on that; whether you are still a subscriber of this provider or not. Let's consider both options.

Case One: You; Rostelecom subscriber
If you have already connected the Interactive digital television service; on one TV set and you want to connect the second; buying a used STB through Avito is the most profitable option. There it will cost 500-800 rubles (and sometimes you can actually find new copy) instead of several thousand for the newest one in the subscriber department.
And then you will need to contact the subscriber department, activate the Multiroom service; and get another login and password. At home, it will be necessary to configure another port for IPTV on the router and connect the Rostelecom set-top box purchased to it. If suddenly she starts to swear at the login, it means that she was not untied in the database from the old carrier. It is necessary to contact technical support with a request to untie it in the database.

Note: There is an option to use the prefix unofficially and, with all this, watch all the channels for free. This can only be with the Infomir MAG-250 and Promsvyaz RT-STB-HD Standard models by installing the DNA firmware. You can read more about this here.

Case 2: you have a different ISP

Here, unfortunately, there are few options for the development of events. The problem is that without access to Rostelecom's digital TV network, its video receivers; useless iron. Several models are an exception. Smartlabs SML-292 HD and SML-482 HD may be used by other telecom operators. And more specifically; from MTS. In other words, if you have the firmware, you can reflash and use them.

Another successful model, which is not being purchased now, but which can be found in ads; this is Infomir MAG-250 and its full clone Promsvyaz RT STB HD Standard (not to be confused with RT HD Mini). This in itself is a good multimedia player, which, if you reflash it, you can connect to a router and watch videos on Youtube, as well as movies on the network and through online portals and cinemas on the Internet (Megogo, ivi, etc.) ...

I heard several times from blog readers that they managed to flash the SML-482 HD with Moyo TV firmware to use it as a media player. There is even a video on YouTube:

Huge queues and lack of customer service

OnLime - Huge queues and lack of customer service

Internet service provider and digital TV provider Onlime, aka Rostelecom, mock their customers. They warn everyone, in no case do not rent equipment from the company.
My situation: connected to the Internet of this organization and a single package I took services on digital television, I immediately refused from services for renting a router, since I have my own, but for watching digital television, I was automatically leased a receiver for a TV.
Constant problems with the signal and poor quality of services forced me to change my Internet provider. It was no problem to refuse Internet services, but in order to close the contract on television, the company representatives told me that I personally must come to the office with a passport and hand over the receiver for television.
As it turned out, Online company has only one office in Moscow near the devil on the horns (the Varshavskoe highway industrial zone) and is a measly 30 m2.
From the corner of the building I needed, I met the end of a line in which there were people with rental equipment.

How to return equipment to Rostelecom

Bottom line: 1 hour of waiting on the street, and another 1-30 idle time in a crowd of distraught people who simply rushed at 2 unfortunate managers who were making requests for the return of the company's equipment.
Thanks to Online company for the convenience delivered in the cold.
Excellent customer service, customer service in your only office, where there are not even chairs and sofas and people have to stand for 2 hours to hand over your non-working equipment.
It’s a big foolishness of you to think that by treating customers like this, you create positive emotions from your brand.
Half of the people standing in line were ready to refuse all the services of the company, just for a swinish attitude towards people.
The company's managers are not even able to organize a minimal customer service with the service of returning equipment through courier service, for which I personally would even be willing to pay.

Connect Rostelecom. A federal-scale Internet provider that provides services to the population of most regions of Russia. Rostelecom tariffs, connection technologies, models of Wi-Fi routers and set-top boxes may differ in some regions. The main connection technologies are described below and the most common models of the provider's equipment are presented.

More than 100 million people all over Russia use Rostelecom Internet service. Different data transmission technologies are used in different regions of the Russian Federation. The most advanced of these are fiber optic. PON technology has taken root in large cities - regional capitals: St. Petersburg, Novosibirsk, Nizhny Novgorod, etc. FTTB technology and the like are used in cities and other settlements of most regions of Russia: Tula, Volgograd, Astrakhan, Leningrad regions, Udmurt Republic, Krasnodar Territory, etc.

Direct connection of your home to the Internet fiber optic cable will provide high speed data transfer. The difference between PON technology is that the optical fiber is brought directly into the apartment, while FTTB technology, such a cable is laid up to the switchboard at the entrance, and then through ordinary Internet wires ("twisted pair") to the apartments of the residents.

Saratov! Has anyone handed over Rostelecom prefixes ????

You can quickly download large files and enjoy excellent voice and video quality. One cable is enough for simultaneous use of the Internet, telephone and interactive TV.

In the absence of optics in the house, the client can also spend stable internet and even digital television over a regular telephone line. This technology is called ADSL (xDSL). It has only one drawback - the data transfer rate technically cannot be higher than 15 Mbit / s, and in some regions it is only 6 Mbit / s. However, only residents of megalopolises who have access to speeds of 100+ can call this fact a minus. Millions of Russians do not have the opportunity to connect to the Internet via "optics" and for them Internet connection via a telephone wire is an excellent alternative to 3G Internet.

The Rostelecom TV service (Digital interactive TV from Rostelecom) can be connected using any of the above technologies. A special digital set-top box is required for television to work. It is provided for rent, installment plan or purchase - in each region of the Russian Federation in different ways. Check with the operators for details. Rostelecom promotes periodically, and new subscribers get such set-top boxes at a substantial discount.





How to refuse and return equipment to Rostelecom?

Is it possible to get a refund for a working digital set-top box.

When purchasing a digital set-top box, the buyer is often sure that it will definitely work with his antenna, and if it does not, then it will be easy to return it to the store and get the money back. In practice, things are far from so smooth.

First, it should be understood that the reception digital channels with a probability of 99% is possible only if all broadcasted in your region analogue channels with your antenna you are looking at very good quality.

Yes, there are cases when the majority of analog channels are shown unimportantly, and when buying a digital set-top box, it shows all 20 channels without any problems (if they are available in your region). This is because exactly the two frequencies at which DVB-T2 digital broadcasting is going on, your antenna picks up well. Nevertheless, a false belief is very popular among the people that the set-top box will work with any antenna, which in practice is far from the truth.

Returning a set-top box to a store

So, if you are faced with a situation where your set-top box does not catch a single channel, or only catches 10 out of 20 available ones, then it is safe to say that the problem is precisely in the antenna, cable or bad contacts. And then it may turn out that repair, replacement or installation of a new antenna is either technically impossible, or simply does not fit into your budget. In this case, you have only one way out: return the set-top box back to the store and continue to watch analog, satellite or cable channels.

But there is one serious snag: the digital set-top box is a technically complex product and you won't be able to easily return it back within 14 days. The only exceptions are online stores, which can accept the digital set-top box back and return the money within 7 days. In other cases, a refund is possible only by agreement with the store.

The best way to avoid this problem is to negotiate a refund before purchasing a digital set-top box. Some stores meet customers and give them the opportunity to return the set-top box back, despite the fact that the law does not oblige them to do so. If, after all, you have already bought the prefix and the seller in the store refuses to return the money, then you just have to look for some kind of compromise. It is clear that the store does not want to lose its profits, so you can try to exchange the set-top box for some other product from the store's assortment, or try to return at least part of the money.

If a digital TV user has a broken set-top box, can it be repaired or replaced? How to return the Rostelecom prefix if a person decided to change the provider? All this will be discussed in the article.

Replacement and repair of the Rostelecom set-top box

TV box for viewing interactive television - complex equipment, etc. as in any technique, breakdowns and "glitches" occur in it. If this happens, then the Rostelecom subscriber will think about the expediency of further use of this set-top box.

The most common set-top box problems are:

  • the set-top box does not turn on;
  • the same video is shown on the screen in cycles;
  • a message appears stating that there is no IP address;
  • server search errors;
  • the sound is distorted, the picture disintegrates and freezes;
  • the set-top box cannot recognize the signal.
  1. if, when turning on the equipment, the user observes the same presentation video of the provider, then this may mean that work is being carried out on the operator's side, or a breakdown has occurred.
  2. It may also indicate that you need to re-configure the SPB settings. If the problem persists, then you need to contact technical support.

If the inscription "Not received IP-address" flaunts on the TV screen, then the reasons lie in the following:

  • the prefix settings are lost;
  • there is damage to the component equipment.

To identify the problem, you need to contact the configuration of the router, this is done through the web interface. Thus, the user will know whether the port for the set-top box is defined and whether a separate connection for television has been created.

If you cannot find a server, then this is already a problem on the provider's side. Only a specialist of the company can recognize the error and eliminate it.

Sound distortion and freezing / scattering of the picture occur when:

  • excessive load on the router (there is not enough traffic to distribute the Internet to all equipment, you will have to disconnect unnecessary devices from the Network - a tablet, a phone, and so on);
  • the cable is damaged or disconnected from the port. You need to check these points, if necessary, move the connector or replace the cable;
  • technical work on the side of the provider. Calling technical support will take a few minutes, and will save you from the extra fuss associated with troubleshooting.
