If you use Telegram, open the mini-app from the channel @RussiaTV_Hub_Live: channels are grouped by topic and switching is one tap.
Tips for smooth playback
- Wi-Fi is better than mobile data: video uses a lot of traffic, especially in HD.
- No sound? Tap the speaker icon in the player — browsers sometimes start video muted.
- Rotate your phone for full-screen viewing.
- Frozen picture? Reload the page or switch channels and come back — see Channel not loading: how to fix it.
