Who is it available to and how much does it cost?

Viewing control can be connected to any tariff plan - some have it already included, others will need to be ordered separately and for an additional fee.

The information will be available below, after the connection order form, along with the slider or its absence (if the service is included in the package).

This function can be used by all subscribers of the company who have subscribed to one of the channel packages and use a set-top box from Rostelecom. The service can be included in any tariff; in some plans it is included, in other tariffs it is required to be activated for a separate price.

The cost of the option, as well as the list of TV channels, is assigned every month. For 2021, individuals must pay from 70 to 90 rubles for the service, legal entities - from 100 rubles. These prices are based on basic channel packages.

How can this service from Rostelecom be useful and how to use it?

Presented from the Rostelecom server, it has several key features that make it unique. For those who recently became a new user of the Rostelecom network, below is a complete list of the capabilities of this option.

What you can do with:

Pause playback and stop viewing: In the event that something distracts you, preventing you from continuing viewing as before, you can stop playback at any necessary time by pausing viewing, and then continue viewing by also clicking on remote control button.
Play from the beginning: This feature is very useful when you didn’t start watching a movie or series from the very beginning. In this case, with one press of the remote control key, you can return to the very beginning of playback.
Rewind films and TV series at any point in time: Then, when you don’t want to watch a specific part of a film or TV series, or are looking for the desired frame or moment, then using the “Rewind” function you can easily rewind to that time in the film or TV series that you need.

This can be very helpful if you do not have time to watch the program at the moment, or combine watching it with several other programs at once. This way you can view them all a little later.
Record programs and TV shows from the air: To record programs, all users are provided with exactly seven gigabytes of built-in memory, however, you can buy additional storage space for recorded files at any time available. You can record programs and television programs both at the time of watching them directly, and by making a recording in advance before the start of the program.

Main functions and how to use them

Viewing control functions are not numerous, but cover all the basic needs of the subscriber for almost complete control over broadcasts. Of course, there are some nuances and conditions, but the convenience is undeniable. You no longer need to rush to the TV screen so as not to miss a match or a new episode of the series. All you have to do is set the settings and look later.

Or during the broadcast itself, pause it to check what is happening on another channel without missing anything. “View Control” allows you to do this and much more.

Record broadcast

A function that is often used by working Rostelecom subscribers. When you connect viewing control, you can create your own list of TV programs, series and broadcasts that will be recorded by the set-top box in the archive. From there you can watch them in the next month, which means you won’t miss anything. The recording is made into the memory of the set-top box or into the Rostelecom cloud storage, which is provided along with Interactive TV.

To record some kind of broadcast, you need to:

Find a card for a series or program.
Under the channel button, find the “Record” option.
All recorded episodes are stored in the “My” section.

You can record one episode or set it up for all. When the broadcast time comes, the set-top box will automatically start saving it. You can even set a daily recording (of all episodes) so that you can then watch all the episodes or episodes for the week on the weekend. This is also done in the card of the selected TV show.

Also, from the “My” section, entries can be transferred to the Archive, where they will be available longer.

Pause and rewind playback

View Control adds an additional active menu to the Interactive TV interface, allowing you to truly control what you watch in real time. This menu has standard player functions - pause, rewind, start playback. It can be activated while viewing: press “Down” on the Rostelecom remote control. This panel is closed using the “Up” button (in rare cases, “Back” or Back - depending on your remote control).

View first

A convenient option if you missed the beginning of a broadcast or program. The function is highlighted as a separate one, since it works even on non-recorded programs. It is enough that you turned on the channel and found yourself in the midst of playback.

Broadcast archive

The general archive of broadcasts is a gift from Rostelecom. Everything that was shown on TV on all the channels you subscribe to is available in recordings in the archive.

At any time, you have access to everything that has been broadcast over the past three days. And all playback functions (pause, rewind) are also activated and can be used.

Reminder

Now you don’t have to worry about missing a show or movie while watching something else, because there’s a “Reminder” function. Select the required program and in the card that opens, click on “Remind”.

Now, when the program on which the reminder is set starts, you will receive a corresponding notification right on the screen.

Record

Like “Reminder”, the “Record” function is available in the card of a particular broadcast. This way you can record any program or movie that has not yet started broadcasting, and then play it back.

All subscribers are provided with 7 GB of memory in the “cloud” upon connection. How many programs can be written to this amount of memory? It varies, it all depends on the quality and duration of each recording.

To watch the recorded video, go to the “My” section in the main menu, there will be a corresponding “Recordings” item.

Description of service

The package includes many options, and thanks to this, Rostelecom clients have the opportunity to customize the entire TV program program and schedule the most significant of them at a convenient time.

The list of package options includes:

The ability to pause the program at any time if you are about to leave or want to see what is currently on other channels. You can continue watching with one press of a button on the remote control.
Watch any show first. If you missed some interesting program, and no more than three days have passed since its broadcast, then you can find it and start watching from the very beginning. This is done by calling the corresponding menu using the remote control.
Record any movie or TV show. In this case, you can schedule a recording in advance, before the transmission has yet started. You can record several programs or episodes at once. Each subscriber has 7 gigabytes of space reserved in the Rostelecom cloud for storing all recorded films and programs. If this is not enough, you can increase the space for a small additional fee.
Archiving programs allows you to access any film or program that was broadcast no earlier than three days. The archive is stored for a month; the company recommends regularly clearing space from old programs that you have already watched.

As a result of connecting “Viewing Control”, the subscriber has much more opportunities for digital television from Rostelecom.
