If yes, where do you live and whether it's a active or passive antenna?

i wonder if i invest in an antenna from qoo10 will i be able to recieve malaysian channels?
i live in the north and my MATV point cannot tune to any MY channels? Is it due to HDB filters or what? Or my area reception suck?

Anyone can receive malaysia digital tv channels? What antenna did you use, is the qoo10 digital passive antenna able to receive? I know it must be based on locations.

Funke DSC 550 Active Antenna, Seletar Hills, ground floor, can receive M'sian channels if the antenna is near the window.

I think I should give my own input. Since I live in a HDB at the lower floors in the East, I can say that Funke DSC-550's 40KM radius can't get me any Malaysia or Indonesian channels.

Then, I went with another person's suggestion to buy the 50 mile (80km radius) antenna from Amazon. The 1byone Amplified Antenna. It too did not get me any Malaysian and/or Indonesian channels.

It clearly seems to be based on your location as well as if there are any obstructions in that area.

So here's my 2 cents having wasted my own money on these 2 antennas. :s22:
Amazon's return policy is top notch. Harvey Norman's where I bought the Funke antenna, not so much. Did not even reply to my return request.

Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

If you are still keen to experiment (they will have HD transmission eventually), you can try with outdoor antenna, as the malaysian digital tv transmission is on outdoor reception mode.

For Funke, they have some nice looking outdoor antennae. You will have better chance if it can be positioned facing north.

Google "outdoor tv antenna" and you will find a wide range of selection.

Already answered above in Post #12 & 13 of this thread...

All Malaysian channels are in the same frequency. Scan that frequency, it's able to either find all or none.
Can't find any at tat freq no choice only got few sg channels to watch
