If it doesn't work on your TV
The main reasons why the service malfunctions when using it on a TV is due to incompatible operating system compatibility. For correct operation, the device must have the Smart TV function and have an access point to the network space. This category includes LG and Samsung with production no earlier than 2013.
Registration
If you are already registered in the service, then download the official Megafon.TV application on your TV. Once launched, enter your contact information and password. In your personal account, select TV channels or movies. If you do not have an account, you will be asked to go through the initialization procedure. To do this, enter your phone number and confirm it using the code that will be sent as a notification. If you entered the information incorrectly, you will not be able to launch the application.
Work through the set-top box
If the TV does not support the Smart function, then it’s okay. You can synchronize it with other devices. There are two options:
- Buy an HDMI cable, connect it to the computer on which the service is installed and transfer the image with sound. To do this, set the split screen settings on your desktop PC or laptop.
- For such purposes, a special set-top box called “ChromeCast” has been implemented. It is compatible with Android or IOS operating systems. Connects to the HDMI slot of the TV. Information is transmitted via Wi-Fi wireless communication. You can display images from your smartphone or tablet on a large screen without losing quality.
