Not the black box but the generic DVB-C STB~ there's DVB-T2/C box as well if you worry starhub would cease its cable operation~

Dvb-T2 pq is better den wat u from SH hd FTA channels

Can't tell the difference~ my TV is DVB-T2, I toggle between DVB-T2 and HDMI DVB-C, I can't see the difference~ I have also pci-e DVB-T2/C for my PC, I record both formats and had compared both together~

The video birate is smaller, audio codec also diff but I doubt many people can tell the diff~

Need to replace my old TV, the sales kept on pushing 4k tv. But I only use TV to watch mediacorp channel, and YouTube for kids. Is 4K necessary? Is mediacorp already having 4k souce?

Don't need 4K, but take note some high end 2k TV can be as expensive as 4k.

Digital TV lagging once a while, vomit blood, not even better than YouTube.

you need a better antenna, or a better place for your antenna.

Compared with using the antenna socket on the wall, better or worse?

Using NewMedia Solutions's set top box and indoor antenna, was given free from IMDA. Received all SG (local) DVB-T2 TV channels, Malaysia DVB-T2 TV channels, and Malaysia 4 DAB Channels. Tested during heavy rain, getting excellence Signal Intensity and Signal Quality for all Malaysia DVB-T2 TV channels .
Here the link of the video: (system is not allow me to insert direct link)
at youtube, look for "Received SG (local) and Malaysia Digital TV channels, using NewMedia Solutions DVB-T2 set top box."

Enjoy!!!!

not many people in singapore can receive malaysia dtv due to range and blockage.

You are wrong. My house has a lot of interference, event the mobile network can't work well inside my house. You need to do more work on the antenna. Don't expect that the IDMA will give you free solid antenna, and the antenna cable is not RG6 material.

低層住宅單位接收唔到數碼廣播訊號係正常嘅。如果天綫無駁USB供電加強接收能力，根本無用。而且你提到以上嘅西北區，近幾年新組屋林立，越建越近大大削弱天綫接收能力。。。就算有駁USB電源加強也會軟好多。。。

IMDA送嘅天綫如果同提供嘅接收盒同屬原厰貨，接收能力差，用戶就無得爭啦。但係，如果提供嘅天綫係非原厰嘅。。。俾人挑，係唔係應該咧？
