Yes you are correct, this is the antenna I bought at the first floor of Sim Lim Tower.
How all, i am kind of new to this. Would like to know if I need to purchase a setup box with antenna, or just an antenna for me to receive the new digital signals.
My Samsung TV has an option to search for digital channels, but whenever I click on that, it says no frequency.
Any help would be really appreciated thank you.
Tried already. Cheap n good. Almost wanted to buy funke 5.1 liao but thought of try this.Yes you are correct, this is the antenna I bought at the first floor of Sim Lim Tower.
Definitely very good reception.
Always buy China things with European market marking as it is targeted for them, therefore would assume quality is reasonable.
@u0206397, how much did you pay for your K3?
And what firmware version did it come with?
Model: GHANA
SW Version: 20170325V5.0
HW Version: 7T01836650
BTW, I assumed you're aware of this thread on the K3 STB.
Is your Samsung TV connected to external antenna?
I got it at $24.90.
Not sure if it is actually useful to anyone except the manufacturer/seller but since you are asking...
If by external you meant the default HDB antenna then yes, I don't have cable TV.
Else it has nothing connected to it except the power cord.
No, by external I meant indoor antenna, HDB antenna is central and shared by many household. It is no longer maintain by HDB and may no longer be in working condition.
I see, then no I do not have one.
Also, you could be using SCV port instead of HDB one which do not carry DVB-T2 signal.
Best to state your TV model first.
Wat brand/model uses the Novatek chip? Can share the links? Many thanks.
Took a closer look and it was indeed the SCV port.
Model code of my Samsung TV is UA40EH5336MXXS
TV model is not in IMDA approved DTV list. It's indicated as DTV Ready in the user manual but may not support DVB-T2. Best to call/email Samsung for verification.
As for indoor antenna, any cheap one like those rabbit-ear or those for receiving Malaysia channel can be use.

Must thanks you. Lol... Post at the right timing.Lucky you.
Google Funke 5.1 website
http://funke.nl/64_891_Combo_5_1.aspx
Shows UHF 21 - 69 (470 - 790 MHz)
Our requirement is UHF 26 -69 (470 - 862 MHz)
It seen we need a wider band MHz than the Funke spec.
For those interested but don't have the time to go down to Sim Lim Tower, you can buy it at Q0010 at this link below, but higher price.

Came across this thread as I am forced to get a "DVB-T2 STB" for my home TV.
My parents feel the TV (not digital tv ready) which is bought in 2014 is still new and decided to get additional accessories like a setup box to get the digital signal as required.
1. As from what I have research and read online and mediacorp website, for a non-digital ready tv, I will need a "DVB-T2 STB" but I went to courts and saw the draco brand setup box and decided to find alternative. (Just too expensive).
2. Other than the "DVB-T2 STB", I will potentially need a good indoor "active" antenna
So in the end, it will be potentially two costs factor.
So my main question now is:
May I know is there any good recommendation (best bang for buck alternative to that draco product in courts) to get a non-digital ready tv to be setup so as to be ready for next year complete digital tv rollout? I was hoping to contain my budget within $50 but I think it might not be possible now as it might be a peak period for normal mundane like me to get all the setup box and the stock might be low now, etc.
PS: It is really quite troublesome and costly for a normal household to get all the knowledge about this digital tv thingy and finding ways to cut the cost. I predict I will be helping some relatives and friends to setup their TV to watch digital TV very soon.
Edit: Was browsing Qoo10 and came across some vendor carrying the product based on the keyword "DVB-T2", the setup box + hdmi cable + power antenna seems to be around $35 region. Is it potentially this pricing?
