Digital TV (DVB T2) in Singapore [consolidated]

[Ah Ken]

Jeremy,

thanks for the reply. I am staying in Sengkang. The indoor antenna you talking about is the antenna Marcon brand at compasspoint best denki selling at $39 is it??

So no need to buy the tvb box right?

Have you tried the changing of region settings method as suggested by some one here? I am having the same remote as you and afraid to mess around with the settings, or rather cannot find the settings.

Hi there, I am staying at Punggol. Using that Margon antenna you mention. My antenna is facing Pasir Ris. Signal is good as I hang on my window. Sometimes signal do get lost but it happens quite rarely. Just have to adjust a bit. I received all HD channels and SD channels. Also some other channels.




To fellow bros,
Those other channels I receiving are Indonesia one is it? And is it possible to receive TV1 and TV2?

Thanks!

Where did you place your antenna ?

My living room windows facing north direction. I placed it in between my window grille and window glass panel (that glass panel in closed position and still able to receive good signal)..

Too bad, my window is quite far from my living room, if not should be able to get clearer pictures.

Finally got my position and managed to get 12 DTV Channels and 15 Analogue Channels.

With that, ALL TVs with DVB-C tuner should be able to receive all Mediacorp HD channels without sticking any ugly antenna out to the sky!

P.S: And btw guys, i've already retired my DIY $2.50 unpowered antenna into shelve since we do not need them anymore!

Hello, how do I get to receive those Malaysia Channels?

They are using Analogue signal so depend on your location.

Meaning. U use the Mohu antenna? Or you set the tuning as per moneyface?

My model is hu7200.

How the mohu?? Any good? U need to put near window or near opening. My analogue signal ok. But I think he should be much better. Review??

To receive all the HD channels, the mohu don't need to put outside the window. I can easily get all the HD channels by just putting the mohu on one side of the wall about 2 m high.

But to get the Malaysia and Indonesia Channels will depend a lot on location. I now put my mohu outside my window in order to receive better Malaysia and Indonesia Channels picture quality.

Would I advise you to buy the mohu ?
I think NO.........................

You can try the margon antenna. Think there's a 2.0 and a 5.1 version. I able to receive the channels already. Except for Malaysia channels.

Analogue signal means getting from the wall SCV point or from the antenna?
