i only get softer audio for DVB-T2 5(HD) when selected "Dolby D+" audio track.
that is not really audio prob... but because of 5.1 surround supported by the tv.

for tv that supports Dolby Surround (eg. Sony, Samsung, LG etc), when 5(HD) outputs 6 audio channels, ur tv will output softer audio due to the sound is split into 6 speakers.
if ur tv does not support Dolby, either u get no sound, or extra loud sound (due to 6 channels downmix to 2 channels).

For my case it is quite weird.. On "5 (HD)" (T), I can hear Dolby D+ audio track very well. On "Ch 5 (HD)" (T2), I receive 3 audio tracks "English, Undefined, Undefined" Only one of the "Undefined" channel could be heard and sound is very muffled.

On "Ch 8 (HD)" and "Ch U" both also 2 "Undefined" audio tracks.. donno issit my box problem

is yours those china brand dvb-t2? i have the same problem with the sound like you,guess is hardware or software limitations, nothing to do with the signal. recorded tv program will sound crisp n clear when play thru pc or other media player.

Just purchased the Daiyo antenna an connected to to my DVB-t2 capable Sony tv today. I live in AMK. TV is located on the grd floor. I can only detect (auto scan) only 2 digital channels ( 5 & Suria). These two HD channels quality is good and clear.
I tried to use a combo tv plug for
1) Wall tv outlet & for analog channels
2) Daiyo antenna for digital channels.
Unfotunately, it did not quote work out as the analog channels becomes quite snow-ee. I have to unplug the Daiyo antenna to get back a acceptable quality for the analog channels.

Maybe suggest to use a switcher would be good. I wonder Daiyo suit me also.. like to have HD channels then to wait till 2015.

Please turn on the power of your daiyo antenna. Need power to connect to FTA channels.

Hmmm..... Wondering why some people is watching tv on small screen computer? A tuner card or usb stick is much more expensive than a set top box.

the draco model is listed on MDA's website, though if u click the product info link, it shows DVBT2 Standard V 1.3.1. but actually if it is sold in courts, it shld be 'MDA endorsed' right?
