How to move channels on Tricolor TV receivers

How does a TV get its channel order?

If you connect the TV to the antenna for the first time, it will offer to auto-tune channels. Auto-tuning helps you quickly find and arrange channels in order.

The TV arranges the channels itself, or receives their order from the television company: Tricolor, NTV-PLUS, Telekarta, MTS and others.

How to receive channels, we select during auto-tuning:

If we choose Antenna, Cable or Satellite, the TV will arrange the channels itself.

If we choose NTV-PLUS or other operators, the TV will receive the order of channels from these companies.

Search by alphabet

By default, on Tricolor devices, the channels are organized in order. The earlier a specific television channel was found, the lower the number it is assigned. But remembering digital designations is not always convenient, especially when it comes to three-digit numbers.

Sorting TV channels alphabetically helps solve the problem of quick access to the desired content. You can arrange Tricolor TV channels alphabetically by following these steps:

1. Press the “Ok” button and call up the full list of channels.
2. Press the green button and call up the alphabet.
3. Select the desired letter and click Ok.

The system will display all TV channels whose names begin with the selected letter. You can exit the list using the Exit button.

If you need to change the order

You can change the order only if the TV has arranged the channels itself. If your TV received the channel order from the TV company, you won't be able to move channels.

Below are instructions for the different episodes (click on the episode name to view), so find out your TV's episode before tuning.
