This type of TV viewing assumes the ability to control the playback of available resources. That is, you can pause, scroll or even record the video content you are watching.

To connect Interactive TV, Rostelecom needs a special set-top box, and for greater convenience, a program can be installed. Viewing on Smart TV without a set-top box is not possible. Previously, the program was called Zabava, like the portal of the same name for viewing IPTV. Later, the application became known as Interactive TV. Everything about this service can be found on the website https://itv.rt.ru/.

Subscribers are offered all sorts of promotions and bonuses for switching to it. Wink is an updated interactive TV service with more features. More detailed information can be found on the portal https://wink.rt.ru/.

Now, if you decide to download ZABAVA, you need to enter Wink in the search. If you want to reinstall or update an existing old application, you also need to consider that there will no longer be a new version of Interactive TV. And to replace it, he will have to install Wink. The Rostelecom widget on smart TV provides access to all site functionality. And for Samsung TVs, this means:

For example, you started watching on TV at home, or you can continue watching on your tablet while traveling. That is, one account can be used on 5 different devices. It is possible to install interactive TV on a smartphone and any other device.

Attachment to work with the application

This can be done directly or through a router, as well as wired or wirelessly. After that, the set-top box is connected to the TV.

Most often this is done through HDMI ports (the best option), but other connections are possible if other connectors are available. Next, it is important to select the “AV” mode on the TV and the signal source, that is, the port through which the connection to the set-top box is made. After connecting, the Rostelecom splash screen should appear on the TV screen. This process may take some time. The system will then ask for a username and password to log in. Usually these data are specified in the user agreement. After identification is completed, it will be possible to use interactive TV.

Now you can download the Interactive TV application. It is curious that the application itself can work without a prefix. However, without this device, you will not get access to IPTV.

After you managed to set up the application, the receiver can simply be turned off, since viewing will be possible without it.

As for the set-top box itself, the company offers several models, so you should choose according to your preferences and the capabilities of the TV.
