Visited a major electronic store wanting to buy a digital TV and make use of the $100 discount.

Was told by salesperson that need to buy antenna to buy TV, this is despite me saying that I already have one. WTF. Anyone encountered this before?

I managed to redeem 2 of the Funke 550 antennas using the redemption letter. Was using another antenna that couldn’t get Malaysia channels, but now managed to with the Funke 550.

Location: Bukit Batok, mid-level

However, really need to stick the antenna out of the window then can receive.

You can get a new dvb-t2 box on qoo10. I got it a few years ago at around $20 for the box. Antenna is optional, if you are using antenna now, you can reuse it. You need antenna only if your tv is connected to the MATV ( the wall antenna port connected to hdb rooftop).

Won't cost $100 So expensive.

the wall antenna port that is previously connected to Starhub settop box, is that MATV? Can I use that port as an antenna if its previously connected to Starhub STB? Or I still need to get a separate antenna?

hi guys,

My Samsung LED TV UA39EH5003MXXS (https://www.samsung.com/sg/support/m...A39EH5003MXXS/), from the user manual and samsung website, it can receive digital broadcast without a set-top box.

I bought an external antenna and connect to this TV, but I could not received any digital channel. since the DVB set-top box is not expensive, i bought one and connect to the same external antenna, it can receive all digital channels.

just wondering could it be this is the first generation of digital TV not compatible with DVB-T2?

UA39EH5003MXXS doesn't support DVB-T2, likely is the older DVB-T.

That is the StarHub cable point, you can't use it to receive digital TV.

You will have to get an indoor antenna if your TV supports DVB-T2. Otherwise, you will have to get an digital T2 box too.

Thanks for the quick reply, as such I didn't waste money to get the set-top box

DVB-T tv can receive channel 5 only as it broadcasting both on dvbT& dvbT2, other HD channels are broadcasting only on Dvbt2. So those digital tv on dvbT have to use full set top box.

Eh I thought Mediacorp has ceased transmission on DVB-T platform and already fully transitioned to DVB-T2?
