Seems like it's not so common for younger generation of Singaporeans about UHF antenna (sorry, I am not offending but I saw it from another forum selling DVB boxes commented so - which I think that person is a Singaporean). It's very common in Malaysia and Indonesia or to those older Singapore generation.
In Malaysia (I am a Malaysian), if we stay in terrace house, every house has an antenna on their roof top and able to receive DVB-T signal (Terrestrial). We calling it aerial. For those who stay in apartments/condominiums, we could buy any indoor antenna (some with power to boost up the signal + noise for RF signal) if there isn't any MATV point from the roof top of that apartment.
In my previous company in Chai Chee, we don't have SCV cable access but we need TV feed to test some channels as I used to work for a company installing IPTV for big hotels (HK/MY/SG/ID/CN/etc), we just pulled one cable from the riser which is the MATV access to our office and installed a DVB-T digital box (that was 2011, way before DVB-T2).
Now, I had a DVB-T2 box at home (HDB) for trial and am connecting it to the MATV point; So far so good, able to tune to 13 channels (HD + SD), no echo at all.
