Digital TV (DVB T2) Consolidated thread VI

[Durian Shell]

wow, nms firmware can be used on draco set top box.

If the STB is broken already, try anything loh. This is what everyone here like to talk XXXXX.

How is $2 antenna for DVB-T2 tuner, business good? your new model antenna is cost $4...LOL

 

[Durian Shell]

I initially tested only with the synced STB RC which was correctly set up and then with the TV remote alone. Result is the same even after I reset my TV- both RC for the STB and TV only can work on TV once the STB is turned off .. if the TV IR is spoiled it wont work at all, right? but it works only once STB is off..sounds like there is some sort of conflict that disable the TV IR when the STB is on .. called NMS but they said they have never heard such thing..

Did you follow the correct step to do RC setup? You follow the video?
You reset your TV for what? you misused it.... Maybe you damage your TV. LOL
I agree what NMS told and explained to you...
Call TV and STB service center to solve your problem.

My NMS box is showing some trouble Ch8 has zero signal quality but the strength is 90% sometimes it freezes and pixelates. Other channels are all okay. Wonder if it's the hardware or the transmission

What to do if you are using $2 or $4 antenna

don't anyhow at people.

nms set comes with a $29 antenna.

it is not that good, but it is much more than $4.

You still don't answer my question. Are you follow the correct methods.....to do the RC set-up.
So you are telling us you are SW and HW engineer? If so, you still come here to look for the solution to solve your misapplied usage?

Any recommendations for new digital TV box?

Using for recording tv video
I'm using old non-digital TV. The nms gives so much problems from, saying not enough space (I use 1TB seagate portable Hardrive, USB plug) , automatically stop recording mid way, skip a day of sechduled date, corruption of video.


Also is there anyway to watch TV from different channel while recording other channel? (like watching channel 5 recording channel 8) is this feature possible for actual digital TV only? If so which one is better tv?

I read alot of ppl recommend draco so I might try getting it I need all the beginners tip. I know nothing and new to this lol

To watch TV and record another channel need 2 cables. One is HDMI from your setup box to TV HDMI input, this is where you can playback record program. The other is coaxial cable from the antenna bypass RF out from setup box to your TV RF input.

This is for users of digital ready TV with DVB-T2 set top box.

For analog TV, you need to get 2 set top boxes with hdmi connections to TV. and one RF cable from the RF-out of 1st set top box to RF-in of 2nd set top box.

 

[yusoffb01]

what should i buy to record tv? i tried using the free setbox box, connect usb device but it says something about format.

is it better to use a separate video capture device like this https://s.lazada.sg/s.UEQ4

 

[5star_pundit]

Possible to install toggle app on new media setup box

 

[Uno_Hu]

you are using active antenna, so the strength doesn't mean anything to you. more important to look at signal quality.

zero signal quality means that there is interference or channel 8 signal level is low.

In either cases, you can try shifting the antenna to a place that give you better signal quality.

My friend's TV with NMS antenna is interferred by his TV box if he turned on the wifi. So check whether you have router/tv box/wifi close to the NMS antenna and the antenna cable. If yes, move them further away.

I've been using it for the whole of last year without this problem though I noticed that the signal quality is zero. Only starting this year or in recent months Channel 8 start to clip and pixelate and only after 7 pm. Morning is okay. My bet is transmission is weak.

Current DTT frequencies available in Johor Bahru, Singapore and Batam.

*as of 25 July 2019

Batam is now transmitting more Indonesia digital TV channels, which are 642MHz, 674MHz and 690MHz.

Are you guys able to receive Indonesia's digital TV channels?
Maybe it's time to try do Auto Scan again.

I am thinking of getting a projector to replace my TV.

However, I am not able to find a suitable DVB T2 tuner for the projector that could feed 5.1 channel sound to my receiver (Marantz SR7013).

I have recently bought an Ascend brand DVB T2 tuner to try out, as its specifications looked promising and it is in IDMA’s list of approved surround sound ready devices. However, through HDMI, the tuner’s signal can only be recognised by my receiver as PCM stereo in both PCM and RAW audio output formats.

Anyone knows of a DVB T2 tuner that could transcode HE-AAC 5.1 to Dolby Digital AC3 or PCM 5.1?

Place it at window wif signal amp and try to point towards JB/north direction shld work. Just need to move around 2 find the best spot.

Mine house got balcony.. Place at balcony door. Signal strength 18%..if place on windows is 26%..last time I did try powered antenna.. It would interfere and cause some channel totally no signal.. Need to find my powered antena in store room
