Setting up interactive TV on a computer
If you have a “Home Internet and TV” package from Beeline, you can watch your favorite channels online using a PC or laptop. To set up channels you need to perform some simple steps.
- First of all, we download the player that will allow us to watch TV programs. This is an "omnivorous" VLC Player. It's completely free. You can download it from the official website of the developer.
- Install VLC. During installation, all settings are set to default. We won't need them now. It is important to install it in the “Program Files” directory, otherwise the player may not work correctly.
- Now you need to download playlists with lists of local and VPN channels provided by. You can find them on the official website of the mobile operator. Local channels are those that will be available after your Internet access is cut off due to debt. And VPN is all the others that consume paid traffic.
- Open VLC Player, select “File”, “Open playlist” and indicate the path to the just downloaded playlists with channels. Go to the “View” tab and o. Now there will always be a playlist on the side of the player itself. And it contains all those channels that are available through Beeline TV.

In addition, you can use your mobile device to control the TV set-top box. To do this, you need to install the Beeline TV application from the Play Market or App Store. The application can show TV channels via the mobile Internet. A television program is available there. But the main thing for us is the ability to use the application as an interactive remote control. You can switch channels, increase or decrease the volume, record or pause the broadcast. The program has many other features.

When connecting to an operator from scratch, you need to perform three steps:

If you don’t have a TV with Smart technology at hand, you can connect to Beeline television using a set-top box. Take the following steps:

The set-top box is connected to the TV, if it is modern, using an HDMI cable, or so-called tulips, if it is old. In the first case, you need to plug the HDMI cable with one end into the output on the set-top box, and the other into the input on the TV.

Models may vary, so please read the instructions included with your product carefully.
How to connect two or more TVs to a set-top box
The digital television station has at least 2 output connectors - HDMI and “tulip” (RCA). This prompts users to think about connecting 2 or more television receivers to 1 device, which will save on rent.
This method of organizing a network is possible, but it has significant disadvantages:
- on “plasmas” you cannot watch different channels at the same time, there is 1 remote control;
- to switch the TV receiver to another broadcast, you need to go to the next room where the set-top box is located;
- The length of expensive interface cables increases.
A 15-meter piece of HDMI cable will cost 2,000 rubles. The alternative cable with tulip connectors has a lower cost, but for it the length of 15 m is the maximum. With a longer duration, the signal noticeably weakens and is distorted by interference.
The cable for connecting the second TV receiver is selected depending on which connector of the set-top box remains free. The TV should have the same port.
The digital television station has an HDMI connector.
Some receivers have an RF Out connector. It is useful for connecting an old receiver without HDMI if the “tulips” are busy.
Dividers and modulators
If the distance to TV receivers exceeds 15 m, additional devices will be required:
- splitter (divider);
- high-frequency modulator (plugged into a 220 V socket).
The divider is selected according to the following criteria:
- Frequency bandwidth. Each type of television has its own. It is worth choosing a device for digital.
- Signal attenuation indicator. The model with the smallest number is preferred.
- To the manufacturer. The best brands are Sat, Lans, Hama, Rexant, Alda, Premier.
- Number of outputs. The more there are, the weaker the signal, so the number of connected receivers is important (without reserve).
You will additionally need a splitter.
Different models of splitters have 2, 3, 4, 6 and 8 output connectors. If the device was nevertheless purchased with a reserve and some of the sockets are still free, they are plugged with special 75 Ohm resistors. They will absorb excess voltage in the circuit. The same must be done with the free input jacks of the modulator. In most cases, plugs for this device are supplied with it.
The devices are connected according to the following diagram:
- The modulator is connected to the station using the “tulip” connector and the corresponding low-frequency wire.
- There is a splitter to the decimeter output of the modulator.
- To the divider - TVs with a 75 Ohm coaxial wire.
The splitter is placed closer to the TV receivers so that the length of the cables after branching is minimal.
If the modulator has several outputs, then the divider is included in the device and there is no need to purchase it additionally.
Finally, use the AV or Source button to configure the “plasma” to the correct connector for the television signal input - HDMI, RF Out or “tulip”.
Connection diagram
The following image will help you connect the devices correctly:
Connection diagram for two screens.
To get the most out of the Multiroom system, it is still recommended to purchase the required equipment and connect the “plasmas” in accordance with the instructions.
Traffic consumption
Users have the opportunity to use the program without consuming traffic. Megabytes will not be written off under the following conditions:
- Using the “All” tariff line;
- Connection.
Mobile Internet Beeline TV will be consumed in the following cases:
- While in roaming (according to tariff plan prices);
- For subscribers of other operators - any user can download and pay for using the application. Downloading is free, use is paid according to the tariff plan prices.

How many TVs can be connected to 1 set-top box
Many people ask whether it is possible to connect Beeline TV to 3 TVs or more devices. Here a lot depends on the method you prefer and the quality of the signal. Let's consider different options:
- With a direct connection (first method), the number of connections is limited by the number of connectors. In most cases, you can only use two TVs, that is, one additional one.
- There are no restrictions when using a splitter. Theoretically, you can connect at least 10 or more TVs to the Beeline set-top box. Another thing is that when using a passive device, the quality will deteriorate with each new connection. To avoid such consequences, it is necessary to use an active splitter. At the same time, we must not forget that in all cases only one channel will be shown on all receivers.
As you can see, there are two main ways to connect one Beeline set-top box to two TVs. But in this case, the same program will be shown on all TVs, and control will be possible only from the room where the tuner is located. It is best to rent an additional receiver for 230 rubles/month and is able to watch Beeline television up to 4 TVs.
In the comments, tell us which of the above methods you have already used or plan to try in the near future.
