The life of a modern person has long been impossible to imagine without television. At the same time, the times when we had no choice of what to watch have sunk into oblivion. Today's realities are such that the satellite television market offers a huge selection of operators offering a huge number of services that will allow you to create television “for yourself,” taking into account your own tastes and interests.
In this diversity, Tricolor TV stands apart, a digital television operator that has been occupying a leading position in this market segment for more than ten years. Starting its work in SD format, the company was sensitive to changes taking place in the world of television.
Thus, it was this company that was one of the first in our country to offer its customers broadcasting television programs in high quality (HD) format, thereby significantly increasing its customer base.
The essence of the action
At the moment, representatives of Tricolor are interested in increasing their own client base, offering their clients a huge range of different services. A special feature is the promotion “Exchange an old receiver for a new one for about (zero) rubles.”
Replacing the Tricolor TV receiver with a new one will allow you to enjoy the full capabilities of television without making unnecessary overpayments and avoiding problems with drawing up a contract.
If we formulate the essence of this proposal in a few words, it turns out that experienced clients, without making extra money, get the opportunity to exchange old equipment for new one. Now let’s look at some aspects of this promotion in more detail.
Keep up with the times with Tricolor TV!
In the modern world, more and more new developments appear every day that can make the life of every person easier, and television is no exception. After all, it plays a fairly important role, bringing a lot of important, interesting and useful information every day, thereby expanding our horizons. However, very often users are faced with a limited selection of television channels - they turn on the TV and cannot find anything interesting.
The situation is completely different for subscribers of the satellite television operator Tricolor TV, where the number of channels totals more than two hundred. TV viewers are offered dozens of news and business channels, educational, music and entertainment channels, sports and cultural programs, Russian and foreign films, children's channels, fashion, channels about animals and other topics. A wide range and large selection of TV programs from Tricolor TV will allow everyone to find exactly what they need, and HD image quality and excellent sound make for an even more enjoyable viewing experience.
Benefits of exchanging your old receiver
Let's approach this point from a selfish point of view. Let's look at the positive aspects that may push you to exchange a receiver:
- The new digital receiver makes it possible to watch channels in higher quality. At the same time, the company guarantees free service for a period of 12 months;
- The total number of TV channels offered to you increases significantly (more than 200 channels in standard quality and 30 channels in HD format);
- The bonus opportunity to watch the main channel package for free is “Unified”, with one small clarification: the duration of this bonus is one month, in the future you will have to pay for this channel package according to the existing price list.

Terms of action

Which receivers are subject to exchange
As we indicated earlier, exchanging the Tricolor TV receiver for a new one is accompanied by a number of additional requirements. Not all models can be replaced, and the full list is published on the operator’s official website and may be changed depending on the ongoing promotion.
Considering specific devices, MPEG2 and MPEG4 devices fall under the possibility of exchange (promotional or with payment of part of the cost). These are DRE 4000, DRE 5000, GS-7300, GS 8302 and a number of other models.
There are some exceptions here: if you subscribe to FullHD or 4K channels, and your current equipment is not able to cope with such technical requests, the operator is obliged to provide you with the appropriate model for comfortable use. At the same time, the warranty obligations do not disappear anywhere: a qualified specialist will examine the returned equipment in detail.
The possibility of replacement is provided in Moscow, St. Petersburg and other regions where there are official Tricolor service offices. Also, new equipment can be purchased from intermediary companies (here we can note one of the largest retail chains - Eldorado). A list of current addresses can be found on the companies’ official website. When exchanging an old Tricolor for a new one, the price may depend on the specific model.
Let's look at the current options:
- one of the most modern receivers with a built-in 500 GB drive will cost 6,499 rubles;
- a set for two screens will also cost 6,499 rubles;
- Exchange for a new device can be done in installments over 25 months. An additional increase to the monthly payment will be 199 rubles;
- obtaining a modern CI+ module for TVs requires a payment of 3999 rubles.
Program "Start 0"
Recently, the “One Start 0” promotion, which includes optimal conditions for replacing outdated equipment, has become increasingly popular. In this case, the company’s client needs to subscribe to the “Single Start 0” package and pay for the first 30 days of viewing (450 rubles).
You receive a complete set of equipment, which includes, in addition to standard accessories, a satellite dish and a converter. The total payment amount is divided into 12 months in equal payments (450 rubles), after a year the equipment becomes your property.
Additional payments
It is worth paying attention to such an aspect of purchasing equipment as hidden payments. The above services of official representatives of the company and its dealers do not include payment for some items.
Required additional payment.
First of all, this applies to services for delivery, installation and configuration of equipment, payment for which is carried out separately. Also, company representatives have the right to demand a certain amount of money from you for the absence of any components.
How to exchange online?
There are different possibilities to exchange equipment. If your receiver has begun to become outdated, then you should use the following options:
- Leave a request online on the Tricolor portal, in the equipment change section. In the future, the system will direct the client to the store, where he can choose a suitable receiver and options for purchasing it. The device will be delivered and activated immediately after payment. In the application you will need to indicate: full name, telephone number and delivery address.
- Fill out an application on the website, and then visit the Tricolor TV sales office. You will need to take with you an old device with a smart card, as well as a passport and a contract.
- At the dealer. In fact, the conditions are the same, and the list of representatives in this area is presented on the website - “Where to change”.
- At Eldorado, but to do this you will first have to fill out and submit an online application, and also talk with a specialist.
All options are very convenient, but it’s worth choosing one that will suit the owner of the old equipment in all respects.
