"Multiroom" service from Beeline. What is it and how to use it

Benefits of the service

“Multiroom” has several advantages:

• the option is free;
• only the rental of an additional set-top box is paid (the main one is provided free of charge when connecting to Beeline digital television);
• the equipment is easy to set up;
• If you encounter problems related to connecting additional devices, you can contact the support service of your mobile operator and order the paid service “Setting up TV equipment”;
• regarding the service, connecting equipment, you can always get advice from specialists (for all questions, it is recommended to contact the Beeline contact center by phone 8-800-700-8000).

Connect via an open connector

As I said before, there are usually several outputs on the receiver. One is busy, but the other is free. So let's try to connect the second TV to the set-top box using it. We turn the back of the device towards us and see which of the ports is not occupied.

If connected via HDMI, regular RCA (tulips) is free and vice versa. Then we buy a cable for the required port and connect the TV to it (it goes without saying that such a connector should also be present on the TV, and should not be occupied).

Note: Some models of satellite receivers (usually older ones) have another connector - RF OUT . If the TV you are connecting is old and does not have an HDMI port, and the tulips are already occupied, connect through it.

How to connect “Multiroom” from “Beeline”

Subscribers who already use digital television from Beeline can activate the service in their personal account and submit a request for delivery of equipment for rent.

For new clients of the mobile operator, activation of the “Multiroom” option is available at the stage of choosing a tariff plan with TV.

A profitable option would be to connect to the tariffs of the Close People line, which combines mobile communications and home services. Or choose Bomb or Fantastic tariffs from the options without cellular communications.

Connection diagram

The next step after activating the option is connecting the equipment. Instructions for mobile operator subscribers:

1. Connect the set-top box to the TV using an HDMI or AV cable, to the Internet router via the LAN port with an Ethernet cable and to a 220V power supply.
2. Take the TV remote control. Select video input.
3. Set up an Internet connection by following the on-screen prompts.
4. Wait for the latest software version to automatically download.

Modulators and dividers

You can connect two TVs to a set-top box or receiver using a pair of specialized devices - a high-frequency modulator and a special divider. The RF modulator is connected via RCA tulips to the receiver, and then to a divider in the high-frequency cable. And then we connect TVs to the divider.

Note: Some RF modulator models have more than one output. In this case, a divisor is not needed.

PS As a conclusion, I repeat - for comfortable work, I would still advise you to “strangle the toad within yourself” and splurge on a second equipment receiver or a special set for two TVs. You will save more nerves and time.

Additional features

When you connect to the Multiroom service, all TVs become interconnected. This allows subscribers to take advantage of additional features. For example, some program or film series was recorded. On one TV you can pause playback, and on another you can continue watching. Another possibility is that films ordered from Video Rental are available on all TVs.

Customer Reviews

Evgeniya, 40 years old, St. Petersburg: “There are two TVs in the apartment. One works in the gym, and the other works in the child’s room. I activated the “Multiroom” service for convenience. Digital TV is now available on both devices. I like that the main set-top box has a recording function. I record cartoons for my son, because he gets upset when he comes home late from school and doesn’t have time to watch them. Thanks to the “Multiroom” service, the child turns on recordings on his TV and then watches his favorite programs, while I enjoy the series.”

Either the wife had to give in, or the children. Now, with the option connected, each family member sits at their own TV and watches what they want.”
