Digital TV (DVB T2) in Singapore [consolidated]

[Kiwi8]

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

Btw I received this tuner liao.

I'm pleased to report that it works in receiving the Singapore channels. Just one quirk is that for HD channels, the audio do not automatically come on, but that's because somehow, the audio is not under the default (English) option, so we have to manually select to the alternative audio channel when we tune into a HD channel.

dvb t2

Hallo guys. i am able to receiver ALL Digital Channels such as HD5 , HD8 , HD Suria , HD Vas , CNA, Okto and channel U via Draco SET TOP BOX in Batam Indonesia.currently i have 3 receivers for testing and the results are great. I use my Outdoor Antenna face to Singapore. I can get the strenght signal (92%). Firstly i bought Getmecom in jakarta, it supports DVB t2 indonesia and DVB t1 singapore due to getmecom demulator msb 1230 (not support 1.3.1) and then i bought draco in singapore at best vivo. Viola... get all the HDs. and the last i have a dvb t2 brand mpeg4 made in china, it works also. i also sell dvb t2 receiver made from china (support singapore standard 1.3.1) in batam and price S$60 per unit. for 2 units S$110 only.

Guys.

I can confirm that StarHub TV channel 154 is Channel 8 HD.

Just switched to the channel, toggled the audio, and it is the same output as Channel 8 SD. And there is also a subtitle option.

You are using the HD box right? Did you subscribe to HD services?

Since u are in Batam, can u check for me, what are the Indonesian DVB-T2 channels that are being broadcast now, and their raw frequencies? I would like to test my tuner and antenna to see if I can receive them from Singapore.

Yes to both questions.

Btw you only need the HD boxes. There is no need to sign up any HD packs.

I see. Do you have to do it every time or once?

do u get sounds for all three audio channels of hd5? how is the sound quality? clear or blur? thanks!

 

[SilveR1_09]

hi, your getmecom HD9 when watching like HD5 program with 3 audio channels, all channels have sound or just one of the channel? is it able to decode the dolby channel?

Will check this out for you when I have the time.

 

[singpal]

Will check this out for you when I have the time.

ok thanks，thinking of getting getmecom but worry abt having same audio issues as my present china stb

 

[Kiwi8]

Can set default language but the thing is, even if the audio choice is set at the proper one for HD channels, it will not sound when u tune to the channels. U have to select another audio option temporarily, then select the original audio option back.

 

[Kiwi8]

Only 2 out of the 3 audio channels sound.

1 is the non-surround sound, the other is the surround sound.

Sound quality is good.

Some DVB-T2 news across the Causeway for those interested.

Malaysia DVB-T2

Heard Q3 2014 begin rollout in a 'few test areas'.

 

[chakuman]

Suddenly Channel 8 HD on StarHub is opened on channel 154.

Edit: It keeps switching by itself. To Vasantham HD to Suria HD then back to Ch8 HD again

thanks for the info. my stb also has this problem of playing audio 1 by default when switch channels，since the machine cant decode audio one of hd channels thus have to change audio channel like u. but mine for hd channels,only the second audio has sound but sound muffled, so yours stb seems to be a better choice;-)
