DVB-T2 is actually a very efficient way of broadcasting HD content over large areas, and has been in place in Europe for quite some time already

Need some expert guidance.
My current tv has dvb-t and analog tuner.
What are the digital channel that can be received on the Starhub cable point without using the Starhub STB?
There is only one cable point in the house and it's only Starhub.
With the analog signal turn off in 2016, will the dvb-t signal ceased to operate as well?
Can't find the answers anywhere on the mediacorps or Starhub website
Thanx for any advice and clarification.

Your tv must be DVB-C compatible to receive digital channels from cable points. If not you're just gonna receive analog only. There's no DVB-T/2 via cable points.

The tv freq on the digital channel list on dvb-c and dvb-t is the same throughout? All on 610, 642 & 690, how to change channel?
Care to enlighten, I'm confused.
Thanx.

Ok. It is DTV TunerDVB-T / C
As of what I tried. I had only managed to received analog signal.
This Tv is capable of recording tv programs to hdd. However, when I tried, it prompt for recording can only work on digital signal. I may have not configure the digital channels correctly. Is the digital channel configurations similar for analog?
Are the dvb-t & c channels still available after 2016?
Thanx again.

DVB-T/C are supposed to run alongside with DVB-T2 as with what other countries are doing. Set your TV to receive digital channels or if there's a setting to receive DVB-C. For the recording, I cannot advice since my tv doesn't have a recording function.

You can try sim lim tower or sim lim square.

Does the Starhub wall socket comes with dvb-t or c digital signal? (Not dvb-t2)
I see 0% signal strength for dvb-t & c on my tv connected to the Starhub wall socket.

dvb-c only

dvb-c only

For this dvb-c signal, is it still available after 2016?
And is the tv able to play it directly without using the STB?
Thanx.

Fairprice Xtra has the Margon indoor antenna(Combo 5.1 and Home 2.0), it has a USB cable to supply power for the antenna, but you can plug it into a charger plug eg. Apple iPhone plug.

Think he needs AC powered one because the USB powered amp in the Margon won't provide enough gain.. connecting the Margon amp to USB port on the TV or a iPhone charger or Samsung charger won't affect the gain at all.

Once analog signal is turned off, you will need one of the following to receive MediaCorp channels:

- DVB-T2 capable TV
- DVB-T2 Set-Top box
- Paid TV subscription (e.g. red/green)

MediaCorp Digital TV

You can see point number 5 for more info.
