Digital TV (DVB T2) Consolidated thread II

[zoneguard]

Built a fractal antenna based on this post: paper, clear plastic cover, aluminium foil, balun, copper wire, staple and glue. Works well with all 10 Mediacorp FTA channels.

Need to get an antenna extension cable to try to position it besides the window to see if it can get Malaysia channels.

hi, question about this dvb-t2, if i buy a tv tt is digital ready (the logo with the tick and the word digital), how is it going to receive the signal? i see that people here are talking about the different frequency so i assume is broadcast through airwaves and not through any tv cable? does this mean i can put it any place in the house? my miotv is in the living room and there is no tv cable in the room. buying a tv for the room and do not want to wire in any tv cable

get an indoor antenna will do if your TV is a Digital Ready set.

In short, yes to your question. Check first if your area is able to receive the signal indoors first though (http://www.mediacorp.sg/digitaltv), and even then, sometimes you may have to find a good spot to place your antenna in the room.

Quite troublesome.

Another observation, my ChnU on channel 007 and okto (HD) on channel 008 actually freeze and flicker quite frequently now (yes, now when I am typing this), but ChnU and okto (HD) on channel 701 and 702 are absolutely fine. I switched between the 4 channels to compare, stayed longer period on 701 and 702, no freeze of flicker observed, freeze and flicker observed on 007, 008 within 2, 3 minutes.

Same here, will be gg when they switch off 701 in feb

if rooftop antenna cannot get, just switch to a indoor one lor
some rooftop antenna may have filtered out some freqs

just trial and error to find a good spot to scan
even at windows, maybe only at a certain spot can get, antenna move a bit also might lose the signal
