Qoo10 or Taobao. Same models selling on both site.
Lowest price on Qoo10 $19.80 + $4.80 delivery.
Model K2 with 2 pin plug.
Does not come with HDMI Cable or Antenna.
Optional to add-on.

HDMI and RCA (Yellow/Red/White) output.

Any STB that is under $30 should work the same.
Different models usually has additional output, which nobody use now (Red/Blue/Green/Yellow/Red/White).

Outlook is usually USB position and additional buttons (Volume/Channel).

Power cord. Some is fixed. Cannot replace easily. Some is those single round pin type (like PSP charger or some laptop charger). Some is with 2 pin connector, those usually on old FM radio or cassette player.

I think some programs cannot be found in toggle, like the senior citizens singing contest (not sure what is the show name).

In addition, she's not tech savvy, she might find some difficulties accessing toggle and finding her shows :D

Any DVB-T2 recordable set top box to recommend?

Ask your mom to continue using miotv but if she wants to save on subscription fees than she needs to be tech savvy. Majority of the DVB-T2 set-top boxes can recording to external thumbdrive, but drive size is a limitation. :s13:

I bought my TVB-T2 receiver from this: https://carousell.com/p/44221096/

Watching HD TV program is fine. However, recorded program playback sometimes hang/skip.

I am using the Funke 5.1 Combo antenna with USB power.

So what is the issue?

What type of storage device? Best to use thumbdrive and format to FAT32.

BTW, is this a new item? Price seem kind high as compared to those selling in Qoo10.

Why bother to buy Dvbt2 set top box to receiver mediacorp content and with the indoor antenna may or may not receive? Just buy a dvbc set top box connect to scv point and you will get the channel...

another way is to ask starhub for a free set-top with free rental, if you are using starhub's fibre internet plan. comes with 20 free channels.

Good to know that the thumbdrive speed matters. Also bought a similar one from qoo10. Hoping the mini antenna provided works at my place

I have no issue recording to a 32GB Cruzer Orbit flash drive on my K2 STB. Tested recording a 15mins show via EPG, play back on STB or PC is smooth.
