Why does the TV with Mts Digital Television Set-top Freeze?

MTS TV does not work? This kind of trouble doesn’t happen too often, but some users have already encountered it. And they all wondered how to restore the television and return the broadcast. But in order to cope with the difficulty that has arisen, you need to understand its causes. Sometimes the source of problems are minor little things that can be fixed in a few minutes. The main thing is to find out about them in a timely manner and solve problems. However, in order to cope with larger-scale difficulties, you will also have to find out what led to their appearance.

Reasons for freezing

First of all, you need to understand what the concept of “freezes” means. Depending on this, the ways to solve the problem will be completely different. This is what is most often called the console freezing:

• the appearance of “cubes” on the screen - digital interference;
• stopping the image at any frame;
• complete disappearance of the image;
• sound interruption, audio interference;
• the receiver stops at some action and does not work further;
• the device “slows down”, performing actions after a certain period of time after you called this action.

That is, all problems when the MTS TV set-top freezes are divided into 2 types: malfunctions in the broadcast and in the device itself. The first factor may or may not depend on you. For example, technical work may be performed at the provider.

If the gadget slows down and glitches, or even freezes completely, then this may be due to a software or hardware error, or simply because the device is outdated and cannot handle normal loads.

Remember that if the set-top box itself responds to the remote control, you calmly go into the settings and so on, then the gadget has not frozen in the same sense as a PC or phone freezes. This means the problem is easier to solve.

Digital television does not work - what to do?

When users do not see digital TV channels, it is worth thinking about a malfunction of the equipment. In such situations, rebooting the receiver and checking for updates helps. To do this you need:

1. open the receiver menu and go to settings;
2. find in the proposed list information about the installed software version;
3. compare the information received with information on the official website;
4. update the set-top box software by visiting the operator’s information channel.

If difficulties arise, you need to contact the contact center staff and ask for their help. Then all you have to do is follow the recommendations received.

All solutions

So, what to do if the MTS prefix freezes? First of all, you need to start with simple actions, and then move on to more complex ones. Here are general instructions on how to get rid of freezes:

• Check whether the device responds to the remote control and whether you can call up the menu. If not, and the MTS TV set-top box is buggy or frozen, then reboot it. Simply unplug the plug and wait 20 seconds. Then turn on the gadget again. It's possible that the problem was a one-time glitch and won't happen again.
• Perform simple checks: make sure that the connectors fit completely into the sockets and that the cables are not pinched. If you use the Internet to watch TV via MTS, check the connection and its speed. Often a simple operation with the connector can solve all problems.

• If the broadcast picture is interrupted, sometimes it disappears completely, and before everything was fine, the weather conditions have not worsened - this may be preventive work on the side of the provider or a specific TV channel. Call the operator or go to your company's website. Usually information about the work is in the most visible place.
• Check the antenna. There may be several problems associated with it: insufficient power, cable problem, configuration failure. If the picture of the MTS digital set-top box has been freezing recently, then the antenna amplifier may be damaged. To configure, call the corresponding menu item. Then slowly move the antenna until the signal strength is greater than 60%. Usually this is enough for high-quality digital TV reception.

• One of the common reasons why the MTS set-top freezes is overheating. The device must not be covered with anything or leaned against anything; it must be located at a distance of 20 cm from any obstacles.
• In case of outdated firmware or software failures, the device may behave unpredictably. Various degrees of freezes are possible, and the device may malfunction. The solution is to reset to factory settings or update the firmware. Both actions are performed through the settings menu. The firmware must first be downloaded from the official website, written to a USB flash drive, and then installed according to the device instructions.

• There is a possibility that the gadget itself is outdated and cannot cope with the load. For example, it works with interruptions during fast movie scenes and quick changes in bright pictures. If the firmware update does not change the situation, then you need to replace the device with a CAM module or a new receiver.
• It is possible that problems with the image occur not on the receiver side, but on the TV. In this case, follow the same steps described above with it. Ideally, connect the device to another TV and test it there.
• If the previous points do not help, and the MTS set-top box constantly freezes, then the problems may be related to the internal filling of the device. This includes insufficient cooling by the built-in cooler, and malfunctions in the contact group, flash memory, and processor. In this case, it is better to contact a service center.

So, if the MTS digital television set-top freezes, then the problem can be easily fixed. In most cases, simple steps will help return it to normal operation. But there are times when it is time to replace equipment. I hope that this instruction will help you quickly resolve your issue.

Why doesn't MTS TV work today?

There are many reasons that can cause problems with the TV. But, if you take a closer look at them, it turns out that all possible sources of difficulties can be divided into large-scale groups:

• preventative maintenance and failures;
• lack of money in the subscriber’s personal account;
• interference that interferes with high-quality signal reception from the satellite;
• cable damage and loose contacts;
• outdated and in need of updating equipment;

Problems with the MTS TV remote control

The MTS TV remote control can control not only the set-top box, but also external equipment, TVs, optical disc players or audio centers. However, such functional charge of the remote control sometimes leads to difficulties. For example, at some moments the MTS TV set-top box does not respond to the remote control. It does not switch channels, any pressed button does not cause the device to react. There is no need to call technical support right away. In most cases, you can remove the lock from the MTS remote control using simple methods yourself.

There is no signal from the antenna, how to fix it

The receiver may not receive a signal from the satellite dish for a variety of reasons. Let's look at them in more detail:

1. The receiver itself is not configured correctly to interact with the satellite dish. The solution is to check the receiver settings and make sure they are correct.

2. The down cable from the antenna to the satellite receiver is damaged. The solution is to find the damage and fix it. Or replace the entire damaged cable.

3. The satellite dish converter has failed. The solution is to replace the satellite converter.

4. The antenna is mechanically damaged and is unsuitable for receiving a signal. The solution is to replace the satellite dish

5. The antenna has lost its direction to the satellite. The solution is to adjust the antenna for good signal reception from the satellite

This is what a message about a signal looks like when there is no signal from a satellite dish

Dead batteries

You should always start checking the condition of the remote control by testing its performance with new power supplies . To do this, move the curtain on the compartment at the bottom of the back cover, remove the old batteries and install fresh ones. Then you should use a mobile phone or other device with a camera.

1. The camera is switched on to photograph mode.
2. The remote control is directed by a diode into the lens.
3. They press buttons.

A mobile phone camera perceives a wider range of wavelengths, capturing the infrared range. the LED will be clearly visible on the screen . At this point, the device functionality check can be considered successfully completed. If no flashes are visible, there may be serious problems with the remote control.

Self-registration

You can buy MTS equipment at various retailers. In this case, registration of satellite TV on paper is not carried out, but without it you cannot start working. The company invites new subscribers to independently register on the website through a special form. To do this, go to https://lk.ug.mts.ru/#/satellite_testview and fill in the following fields with information:

• FULL NAME;
• Date of Birth;
• passport details;
• user address (registration as in the passport);
• the address where the equipment will be used;
• smart card number;
• Equipment ID;
• telephone for communication with the subscriber.

Incorrect connection of the set-top box

If digital television has just been connected, the remote control can turn on the set-top box, but no image appears on the screen, most likely the user has configured the equipment incorrectly. Usually this blocking is removed by selecting the TV input.

By default, the button on the TV remote control responsible for changing the signal source is labeled Source. Sometimes this may be the Input key or simply indicated by an arrow pointing inside a square with rounded corners.

By switching the signal source to the port to which the set-top box is connected, the user receives an image on the screen and the system’s response to remote control commands.

Where to find the numbers required for activation

As practice shows, subscribers often have problems entering a number or equipment ID. You can find out the MTS TV smart card number directly on it, it is printed next to the barcode.

For set-top boxes the ID is located on a sticker on the bottom of the device. It is signed "chip number". For the CAM module, the number is located under the barcode and is labeled Chip ID.

The smart card number is clearly visible on the equipment:

Settings are wrong

All MTS TV remote controls can control multiple devices. Depending on the model, changing operating modes is done either by a group or by one key. If the control device is incorrectly selected, you may get the impression that the remote control for the MTS set-top box does not work, does not call up the menu, or does not provide access to its other functionality.

To get rid of this problem, the user just needs to switch the remote control to the correct mode. For this:

• on most set-top boxes, press STB from the group of buttons STB, DVD, TV, AUDIO;
• on ZTE and Motorola devices press the MTS key.

Huawei set-top boxes are equipped with light indication for mode switching. To change it, you need to press the TV button (MTS TV). If the red LED lights up once, it means the remote control has switched to controlling the set-top box. Double lights up means the TV is in code mode.

Channels don't work

Another reason why MTS television does not work today may be the incompatibility of the TV with high broadcast quality. Therefore, before connecting new TV channel packages, customers need to make sure that their existing equipment supports broadcasting in HD and Ultra HD quality. In such situations, there is not a single effective and convenient way to deal with the problem that has arisen, since users can only be helped by replacing the existing technology with a new one that maintains high quality display. An alternative solution would be to abandon channels of this type.

Physical damage

After water, liquid dirt, alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks get into the case, it will not be possible to unlock the MTS remote control without cleaning. To carry out maintenance, its body will have to be disassembled . First you need to look in the battery compartment. Some remote controls have one or a pair of screws at the bottom connecting the body parts. You need to unscrew them and try to lift them by the bottom edge and pull the back cover towards you.

If there are no screws, and the simple disassembly method does not work, you should find a thin and flexible strip of plastic. An old bank card will do.

1. The edge of the card is driven into the gap between the halves of the case towards the back cover.
2. By moving the card around the perimeter, they find the latch points.
3. It is worth inserting a match into the slot of the housing after releasing the latch so that it does not lock spontaneously.

Having found and unlocked all the points around the perimeter, you can remove the back cover . After this, access to the remote control system board opens. It is removed by unscrewing several screws. Cleaning consists of washing the plastic parts of the case and the rubber keyboard. The system board is cleaned and degreased with an alcohol solution . After this, the remote control is assembled, repeating all the steps in the opposite direction.

Contaminants of this kind must be removed with special care. First, remove and wash the entire system board with warm water. This must be done carefully, without deforming anything or applying excessive force. Then the board is cleaned with a long-bristled brush soaked in alcohol. The work ends by rinsing with water and thoroughly drying the components for at least a day. The remote control is then assembled and tested for functionality.

Hardware failures

At home, only some of the hardware failures of the remote control are eliminated. The most common problem is oxidation of the contact pads in the battery compartment. Rust and oxides can be thoroughly but gently removed with an old toothbrush.

Other breakdowns associated with the failure of some electronic components of the remote control can only be repaired in a specialized workshop. If, after disassembling the case and inspecting the motherboard, there are no visible separations of the power conductors or unsoldered contacts, the device should be taken to service or order a new MTS remote control from the company’s official dealers.
