need advice. listed down 2 TV, Sharp LC45LES80X & Sony KDL43W660F, do I still need antenna for local channel? if I dont want antenna/stb, is android tv better as I can install app like toggle or cloudtv for online stream? tks

Yes, you still need an indoor antenna to receive digital TV.

Toggle may work too, as it have live streams of Mediacorp channels but sometimes due to copyright, some shows may not be available to watch via the streams.

Tonight at 8:20pm, I just bought this Samsung 40" Smart HDTV with free AC Ryan Booster Antenna with $100 discount voucher from Courts SG as shown below:

PS : You still need to buy another digital antenna as the salesman told me that the free AC Ryan Booster Antenna is not counted as one package (Digital HDTV + digital antenna). So I have to buy Funke City 5.1 Combo active indoor-outdoor antenna.

I have to wait for it to arrive on 3/9/18.

Hi all,

I redeemed the New Media Solutions Set-top box a few months back, and I am currently experiencing some problems because the non-digital TV attached to the STB died this afternoon. I tried to hook it up to multiple 1440x900, 1600x900 and 1280x1024 PC monitors via HDMI but all of them could not receive the video signal. The monitors either does not display anything, displays "out of range" error messages or flashes purple in colour. Previously, I have toyed with the settings of the STB and came to know that the default resolution/format of the STB is 720i/1080i(I forgot which, but it is i), with options to switch to 720p/1080p manually. I am suspecting the monitors cannot receive i signals. Now that I have no TVs to check out the menu, I am attempting to do a blind settings change to other resolutions, in hoping for one of the monitors to 'pick up' the video signal somehow. I am hence requesting for pictures/screenshots of the settings menu (up till resolution change) so that I can hopefully use the monitor as a TV.

Thanks for any help in advance!

Antenna didn't got the signal. SG signal is very poor. I had to pull the antenna outside the window if I wanted to watch TV. Sometimes don't feel like watching at all, as its ulgy and troublesome.

Have to check with the retailer you're buying from. My hunch is, it probably not cover, it either DTV, STB or antenna.

You need better antenna. Have you try Funke range of antenna? I used to get poor signal quality which fluctuating from 98%-0% resulting in freeze image, lost of sound etc. I stay at low floor with many tall trees right in front of my doorstep. Problem solved after using Funke DSC250, stable signal quality & no more freezing. I just have to put it on my TV console.

Bought this for my mum's place living room. We were using 27" CRT, so 32" should be sufficient already. Connecting up should be quite idiot proof right.

Just put your monitor beside a TV set. Set-top box RCA output to TV set and HDMI output to your monitor. Any settings u changed, the RCA (analogue) output on your TV will still be there.

Cause the GUI sucks and it just a normal LED TV (not SMART TV) with DVB-T2 tuner. Poor in-built speaker also.

If the main objective is to watch DTV channels then smart TV feature is not needed mah! Also how to get smart TV at that kind of pricing?

[redglue23]

Public Announcement Service

K2 DVB-T2 box from SINHO now at $20.90 - $2 Coupon - $5 Qoo10 points = $13.90 inclusive of delivery.

Think this is the cheapest so far since 2016 till now.
