Has anyone managed to tune into M'sian channels with their STB?
Post #468 in this thread. But location not shared.

Edit: found 2 more cases:

Post #108 Location Jurong West
Post #340 Location Seletar Hills

Those staying/living in the north, with high gain outdoor antenna plus amplifier thrown in stand a better chance.

Edit: Malaysia adopted the outdoor reception mode for their DVB-T2 deployment. Indoor antenna has very little chance of receiving their digital signals.

im suddenly not getting signal for CH5 and Suria. Everything was working fine before not sure what happened. Tried searching for the channels again and this time CH5 and Suria didnt get picked up at all.

Did mediacorp change anything on their side? Or anyone else of you facing the same prob?
Currently no antenna nor additional setup boxes. Using everything built in on the LGTV 42LA690T-TB

I'm using samsung 50ku6000 no antenna used. Only connected to scv wallpoint.
I can find sd channel of channel 8, u, 5, okto, suria and cna but unable to find hd channels of it. Few weeks ago I'm still able to watch all of the hd channels except for channel u.

are you using dvb-c? starhub recently reassigned all the mediacorp HD channels, may be you want to do a re-scan?

If your place has good signal, use this $2 antenna or something similar to this:

The signal not very good...

Was using this but when window close then lost signal.

In your case, you need to use active antenna.

There are 2 ways of scanning - auto and manual.

In case you have missed the manual scan, try it as shown according to the user manual.



Btw, according to Samsung website, the digital tuner is DVB-T2(VN: DVB-T2C)... Haha...
