[sunsetbay]

Not what???????means samsung also have? What model?

goto page 1~ MDA listed the tv models tat support dvb-t2 which incl sony, panasonic, samsung & lg~

 

[oric1]

Heard from courts salesman only lg and sony tv got dvb-t2...

Is that true?

Should not always trust the salesman, sometime they smoked us just to buy certain products that benefited them. Buyer should always do their homework first before hitting the retail stores.

Do not see the need to rush for it.

Even if Starhub follow Singtel in launching HD, subscribers still need to have the HD box in order to watch HD right? The old box cannot watch HD even if Starhub launch free HD.

Finally!

 

[rainbatt]

Ye, finally.

 

[windwaver]

Yup. That is right.

Like that might as well buy a China made HD box now. From what I know, Starhub HD box cost about $2+ per month additional compared to the old non HD box.

You also have to make sure it supports DVB-C too.

Aliexpress.com : Buy New Ali3812 DVB T2 terrestrial digital television receiver,Compatible with dvb t and dvb t2 DVB T2 9003 HDMI+USB+PVR dvb t2 from Reliable dvb-t tv suppliers on SinHo Electronics Technology Co., Ltd.

It is based On Ali M3812 chip and should support v1.3.1

Any brothers here already using this box in Singapore? The stock antenna works?

Thanks.

 

[lowhm]

Sorry, I would like to ask a noob question.

With the receiver shown, would I still need an indoor antenna if I have a dvb-t2 TV?

Which of these combination will work?
antenna -> dvb-t2 tv

MATV point -> dvb-t2 tv
MATV point -> set top box -> antenna (needed?) -> dvb-t tv

SCV point -> set top box -> antenna (needed?) -> dvb-t tv
SCV point -> set top box -> antenna (needed?) -> dvb-t2 tv
SCV point -> receiver(??) -> dvb-t2 tv

I intend to get LG 42LN570T (dvb-t2)
But if the setup is as cumbersome as a dvb-t tv, was wondering if getting a 42LN5100 (dvb-t) and use the saving to get a receiver/settop box make sense?

Greatly appreciate some advice.

 

[ezowulf]

Which of these combination will work?

You will be able to receive the signals these ways:

Antenna -> dvb-t2 tv
MATV point -> dvb-t2 tv
MATV point -> dvb-t2 set top box -> any tv

Singtel Miotv set top box -> any tv (soon)
SCV point -> Starhub Cabletv HD set top box -> any tv (soon)
