How to organize, move and delete channels on Tricolor TV

Tricolor TV is a very popular digital satellite TV operator. The company offers hundreds of TV channels in various service packages. In order not to get confused in all this diversity, it is worth sorting the channels. You can do this both alphabetically and according to some of your criteria. Below we will consider how to arrange the list of channels on Tricolor TV.

Sort channel list alphabetically

To sort the list of channels alphabetically, you must follow the following algorithm.

1. On the TV turned on, you need to exit the menu of tuned channels by pressing the «ok» button on the control panel.
2. Inside this window, press the green F2 key.
3. In response to the user’s actions, a menu will open in which you should select the character (letter) by which you would like to order the channels.
4. To fix the selected option, you must click on the «ok» button.
5. Next, you need to exit the menu (the «exit» button), the result of the operation will remain saved.

Compiling a list of favorite channels

The user of the «dish» has the ability to create personal lists of channels, adding there those that are of interest to him. This can be done through the «menu» button by selecting the «channels» column in the pop-up list, and then going to the «arrange favorites» line.

There are 5 lists from the manufacturer in the settings (“new1”, “new2” and so on). The names of the lists can be changed to custom ones manually, for example, «children’s channels», «sports» and others. You can do it like this.

1. Use the direction keys (arrows) to navigate to the desired list and go to it by pressing the F4 key.
2. Alphanumeric keys prescribe the author’s name of the group. It will take a long time to do this, so each letter in the word must be fixed with the “ok” key. Spelling and other errors are corrected with the F1 button (the wrong character is deleted and the correct one is entered).
3. The new author’s group name is saved by pressing the «F2» key.

Using this algorithm as a guide, you can create your own channel groups. Replenish the list of channels within the group and sort them as follows.

1. The previously created list must be opened. At the same time, a table will appear on the TV: in the right column there will be a list of all channels that can be viewed by subscription, in the left column there will be a freshly created list.
2. The channel of interest to the user is highlighted in the right column and moved to the left column using the F2 key.
3. So it is necessary to do with all the necessary channels.

If needed move channels (swap), you need to do the following.

1. Using the keys on the remote control, a channel is selected, while the F2 button moves, and F4 deletes the channels.
2. Use the arrow buttons to move the channel up/down in the menu.
3. The result of the operation is fixed with the enter key.

Attention: in some models of receivers, the channels are pre-installed and divided into groups depending on the topic. These settings cannot be changed. If a new software version is installed on the receiver, this option may not be available.

Moving and Swapping Channels

Owners of the Tricolor receiver have the ability to adjust the channel menu: change their sequence, arbitrarily move. It is done like this.

1. In the general menu, go to the subsection with editing channels (you need to look for «channel editor» or «channel manager»). Select it with the OK key.
2. In response, a menu pops up listing the channel. The selection is confirmed again by pressing «ok».
3. In this window (it is usually highlighted in yellow), editing is selected (it is a move).
4. In response, the system will ask for a password. By default, it is programmed to the value «0000».
5. In the lower menu, select the “move” option (in some models, “move”).
6. In response, a pointer will pop up, allowing you to move the channels through the menu.
7. It is necessary to click on the channel to be moved and confirm the selection with the «ok» button.

Editing and deleting channels

Over time, the custom channel menu grows to an uncomfortable size and becomes more of a mess than a system. Interests change, some channels stop broadcasting or change the grid, as a result, part of the menu becomes unclaimed at all. In Tricolor, it is possible to adjust the menu: remove unnecessary channels, and raise those that are in demand higher.

Attention: this option is available only to those who have an old-style receiver.

To edit the list of channels or delete some of them, you should proceed as follows.

1. Go to the main menu, there click on the «arrange favorites» button (in some models, «channel organization»).
2. With the help of the red button on the remote control, you can remove a whole list consisting entirely of unnecessary channels.
3. For convenience, you can sort the channels alphabetically using the yellow button on the remote control, and then delete the channels selectively with the «ok» key.
4. Before exiting the menu, the result of the correction must be saved.

In some models of the Tricolor set-top box, there is protection against unauthorized interference. They ask for a password during such manipulations. By default, it is set to «0000». In newer models, there is no way to remove unnecessary channels from the lists, they can only be blocked. In this case, you will also need to enter the password «0000» to confirm the actions. Blocked channels will be in the list but become inactive. For the convenience of using the menu, it is recommended to move such channels to the bottom of the list.

To block the channel, you must act according to the algorithm.

1. Exit to the menu, then go to the «settings» window. To gain access to further actions, the password «0000» is entered.
2. Select the «Channel Management» menu item.
3. Using the keys «up» and «down» in the list, select an unnecessary channel and block it with the yellow key on the remote control.
4. Next, you need to exit the menu (“exit”), saving the result of the actions.

All Tricolor consoles provide opportunities for renaming channels and forming thematic lists. In equipment with new firmware, you will not be able to delete unnecessary channels. But after blocking, they are not visible in the general list of channels and do not interfere, and you can view them only from the main menu.
