Digital TV (DVB T2) Consolidated thread V

[amazingone]

Mine dun think support the DVB-T2.... One is a old Samsung LED TV non smart about 5yrs and a smart TV.

Anyway if I have 3 TV so need 3 indoor antennas? And also 3 boxes?

If all your 3 TVs don't support digital DVB-T2 and don't have cable TV, then have to get digital set-top-box+indoor antenna for all the 3 TVs.

Yes. One set-top box with one antenna to use on one TV.

Hi guys, I used a $10 Indoor antenna with 12dbi gain for a flat in Fernvale, managed to get full reception for SG and MY tv. Moot the point, location is most important. And it seems Fernvale is a good spot.

I got MioTv already. I used my own money to buy to do product review for peeps here.

What's your TV model? If your TV support DVB-T2 then you just need an indoor antenna will do.

Hi, my Samsung UA60D6600VNXXS tv only has DVB-T tuner. Do I still need the set-top box or just the antenna? Thanks.

You need both STB and an indoor antenna (passive or active model).

Feel the same. Analog channel sound also louder then DVBT2 channel.

 

[sporeknight76]

By near end jun i hav nt receiv letter yet. So i apply online and try my luck. Upon 9th day recev. My case is I do hav paytv BUT cancel end of mar when tge free trial period for 1year is over. Jus at end mar. The criterias for getting free redemption letter only out by apr. But when is the cut off date tat they determind households subscribed or no, is up to their discretion. Anyway no harm try also if the link to apply is there.

When i use paytv watching digital channel's local or those international ones, sound indeed softer. Jus tune louder lo.

If you want louder sound choose audio track 2. Track 1 is broadcast in HE-AAC 5.1. 5.1 due to bigger dynamic range, therefore will sound soft after down-mix to Stereo for TV speakers
