It is very pleasant that the satellite operator NTV-Plus has added a new 4K channel to its Basic package.

This is already the third NTV-Plus 4K channel, above high definition, or as we are already used to, 4K. The name of the new channel is Festival 4K.

What's there?

I watched it and I can say that this is a music and entertainment channel with a varied repertoire and a rich palette of styles.

There you will find a repertoire from opera and symphonic music to hip-hop. Rock, jazz, soul, and ethno are also widely represented.

Viewers of NTV-Plus 4K of the new channel will see performances by popular DJs, musical experiments in the field of electronic music, works of video art and hear concerts of famous performers such as Billie Holiday, Amy Waynehouse, Adele, Björk, Lana Lana and others.

You can watch NTV-Plus 4K channels using the official one with a card and a subscription to the Basic package, or using cardsharing, for this you will need a suitable receiver.

What can beat you better than the versatility of capabilities. Here I think that you need a satellite receiver with a CI+ slot and full possibilities for kardsharinaga, let's disguise this name under the name Aunt Shura. :)

What do I think about this...

There is a big difference, especially for beginners, in how to set the data of the giver ball. Some actions with receivers on Linux (enigma2) and completely different with receivers for Android or our own (factory) software.

In the first case, you will have to work with additional software and it will take more than one day, leafing through forums.

For a rough overview, I present the folders with which (not all) you will have to work. Example, on Total Commander, where the file structure of the receiver is visible in one of its windows:

However, for Android or your own (factory) software, things are easier. Everything is already installed there and we just put Aunt Shura and the remote control in the right place. Easily, without thoughtful body movements, rummaging on the Internet for the answer, HOW and WHERE!

But I note that people with a receiver on Linux (enigma2) are more professionally suited to solving any problems.

I emphasize - any task!

It's up to you to decide which way to go. But if you are just planning to communicate with a satellite receiver, then I recommend this model, which I purchased and don’t regret for a second.

Like satellite receiver Not at all from the expensive acquisition shelf. Yes, that’s how it is, in my opinion the price tag for it is €160! I can add that this is my first Openbox and the first 4K, UHD type receiver.

Let's talk about the main thing right away, the picture is just perfect. OK,

Despite the fact that there is no official information from the operator yet, it should be announced that the number of NTV-Plus TV channels broadcast in ultra-high definition standard has increased. Now this Russian satellite operator There are three TV channels in 4K at once. All of them are included in the “Basic” package, but only one of them is of Russian origin.

A new addition to the operator’s offer is the Festival 4K TV channel. It is assembled in the image and likeness of other “hodgepodge” TV channels, viewing of which will be interesting only to lovers of beautiful pictures and owners in English.
To be fair, it should be noted that the channel, new to the Russian market, has a music and entertainment focus. Therefore, on air you will be able to see mostly musical programs that generally do not need translation.

Here's what they say about the channel on the official NTV-Plus website:

Music and entertainment channel in 4K format. Diverse repertoire, rich palette of styles. These are classics - opera, ballet, symphonic and chamber music; rock, jazz, soul, hit-hop, as well as dance, circus shows and performances with the participation of illusionists. Musical exotica is represented, for example, by the ethnic music of Brazil, traditional melodies and rhythms of Spanish flamenco. The channel airs programs designed to suit a wide range of tastes. Performances by popular DJs, musical experiments in the field of electronic music, works of video art, recordings of concerts of famous artists - Amy Wainhouse, Adele, Billie Holiday, Björk, Lang Lang, Smashing Pumpkins...

The Festival 4K program schedule is truly plentiful music programs. In particular, on November 16, the channel will broadcast performances by jazz musician Omar Sosa, a report on Korean traditional music, a performance by flamenco dancers and simply “Performances of popular DJs, musical experiments in the field of electronic music” (Aida program).

The Festival4K channel is produced by Stingray Digital Group Inc. whose portfolio includes several more television projects, including in 4K.

Let us remind you that only owners of TVs that support 4K resolution can fully watch this channel. If an NTV-Plus subscriber’s TV does not support viewing content in ultra-high definition, but he has an appropriate satellite receiver, then viewing the Festival4K channel will be possible in regular HD.

Considering that the content of the channel will be of interest to a very narrow audience, it is unlikely that its appearance will somehow affect the attractiveness of the package as a whole for potential subscribers of the operator. But the fact that the “Basic” NTV-Plus package now includes three channels in ultra-high resolution video signals is a pleasant addition to the TV menu for existing subscribers of the operator who have UHD TVs.

Festival4K broadcast parameters: satellite - Eutelsat 36B (36 degrees eastern long), 11862 GHz, polarization - right, SR 27500, FEC 3/4, DVB-S2/HEVC, Viaccess encoding.
