hey bros did anyone lose reception of dvb-t2 hd5 (and suria) suddenly? I lost reception yesterday on my htpc with the tbs6281, cant get it back even after rescanning with mediacenter.

now I'm using the dvb-t1 hd 5... irritating... I'm stay in potong pasir btw

As a side note, ccchin, congrats, which antennae did u get from the states? Did you get 2 sets of channel 5 hd (named differently as one is from dvb-t1 reception, the other is dvb-t2) Dvb-t2 HD 5 and suria are on the same frequency... so you could have same problem as me.

1)
@ ccchin
im glad u liked your purchase. Any chance you can watch the non mediacorp channels from 48 dvb t2 channels u picked up? I did get some odd malaysian channels...

2) any other bros lost the hd5/ suria dvb-t2 frequency?

3) I just received 292e hauppauge pctv tuner. But I cant find any specific 292e windows 7 mediacenter drivers at all... good grief....

mayb u wanna post ur discussion here for PC tuner~

no worries bro, i rescanned again tonight... the channels are back...
i posted not because of any tuner issue (I know the tuner works) but rather to see if mediacorp turned off some transmitter somewhere

Hi morgankell, I am able to receive the dvb-t hd5 but not the dvb-t2 hd5 & suria. Glad to know that I am not the only one with this issue. Thanks to your earlier sharing on US flat antennas. I love the flat design, as it is unobtrusive, and also like the lavishly long cables provided. After reading some reviews, I get the AmazonBasics Extreme Performance over the Mohu Leaf Ultimate. :)



@cyrilng: I get the AmazonBasics Extreme Performance Indoor HDTV Antenna. There are 2 other versions, the High Performance and the Regular version. Only the Extreme version comes with an amplifier. I am glad I get the extreme version bcos without turning on the amplifier, my receiver is not able to detect any dvb-t and dvb-t2 signals. For me, it is always better to be safe than sorry. :s13:

Thanks! :)

Do you have to use a step down transformer for it the power adapter is 110v right?

No need step down transformer. The power adapter is rated at 100-240V~ 50-60Hz. You just need a travel adapter that accommodates USA's 2-pin plug.

Or you can simply plug the antenna's usb plug to the TV's usb connector to power the amplifier.

Between the 2 methods, the power adapter provides better signal levels and quality.

Getmecom HD9 Audio Sync

I just bought a Getmecom HD9 (SW Version: Jan 17 2014, HW Version: 1.1).

However, I find that the audio and video are not synchronized - the audio is always delayed about 1 second. I've tried all the different audio settings, as well as the different audio channels.

This problem is encountered when the audio is coming over HDMI, analog, and the built-in speaker. I haven't tried it over the SPDIF output yet.

Has anyone encountered this?

Bros, if analog and digital cannot receive from antenna point, contact who?

SCV point -> contact StarHub public hotline
HDB MATV point -> contact HDB of your town (eg. Bishan)
Condo MATV -> contact your Condo management unit
Landed property MATV -> contact an antenna repairman of your choice.

*correct me if im wrong at some areas!* :)
