That mean 3 options :

1) Subscribe to Singtel
2) Subscribe to Starhub
3) buy DVB-T2 box

All option mean pay more $$... Swiss standard of living :s17:

actually u have 2013-2020 to switch to digital.
that means most will choose option 4... wait for tv to spoil then buy new HDTV with built-in tuner. :D
anyway... singapore is already at least 5 yrs lagging behind other countries... some countries already have analog signal switched off...

Just wondering whether MDA considers to use the fibre network for transmission of FTA channels. Just feel that DVB-T network can have problems such as reception issues, bad weather affecting reception etc.

Costs could be higher with the DVB-C network.

Rightfully there about the aerial antenna issues with the DVB-T broadcast.

As for the use of fibre, gahmen will tell u to use SingTel MIO TV which has an option to use the fibre network for the provision of service, so there u go. :o

Yes, there should be option 4. But TV dont spoil so easily unless you want it to spoil ;)

I think the new standard is still in the developmental phase, and given our current shoddy coverage by DTV, don't hold your breath on radical changes.

So use whatever you have, and even then don't swop out your current set just because of this. Instead when the old set needs replacement, then consider a set specced with the new tuner. For all you know, those tuners with DTV-2 now may not be the same ones that is needed, since this is a new development.

Can you get RTM 2 (malaysia) through the point? if yes, you can get the digital channels (it means, you're running thru hdb antenna). Else, you need indoor antenna (means, it's scv point)
