Hard to reconcile the recommendation leh.

:s13: LOL
Grant him the benefit of the doubt.
Likely he meant, buy a UHF antenna (powered). :D

Samsung TV
 

Hi, am new around here.

just wanna ask a few questions. i just recently bought a samsung 40" 40f5500 model tv. i plugged my TV in using the RCA wire into the wall mounted point and i did a scan. all i could get was TV1 and one sport channel, Normal Channel 5,8,U. What am i actually missing to receive HD5? i believe the TV that i bought has a decoder inside it.

does the problem lies with my TV set?

U can start reading from post #1, the wall mounted point connects you to the SCV cable network, which does not have HD5.

The SCV cable network has all the digital free-to-air MediaCorp channels which can be tuned by a TV that has DVB-C tuner. HD5 used to be encrypted but is now unencrypted like the other SD channels.

If your TV is a DVB-T2/T only tuner then u will need to connect to an aerial antenna to receive HD5 and other digital channels.

Thanks for keeping this thread (and me) up to date.

All local DVB-T2 Channels are available now...:s22:

My DVB-T2 receiver just now able to scan all the channels.
001 ChU (SD)
002 CNA (SD)
003 okto (SD)
004 Suria (HD)
005 Ch5 (HD)
006 Ch8 (HD)
007 Vasa (HD)

Very sharp picture quality for Ch8 (HD) if compare with Digital 8 (SD).

Hi, are your DVB-T2 receiver build-in in the TV?

No.
I'm using the DVB-T2 Set Top Box. (Sunplus + Sony Demodulator Solution)

Where is your location, may I ask?

I have it too!!! At Pheonix in CCK area!

Would love to see some screenshots of Mediacorp channels in Full HD glory! :D

Yah lor.... the rest of u, GPGT please.

Try to capture HD8 to prove that u got DVB-T2. :o

I feel the preview was so much more"HD" than this..
Current HD is maybe 720p, although my input says 1080i
