Singapore: plans to complete the switchover to digital broadcasting in line with ASEAN's commitment to switchover to digital broadcasting between 2015 and 2020. When switchover is completed, analogue signals will have been phased out and all of MediaCorp’s free-to-air TV channels will be broadcast fully in digital.

Anyone using DVBviewer on Mygica T230? Which version is stable? And are you able to tune if Tuner Type set to cable?

i using T230C though, with DVBViewer 4.9.5

i can tune with cable settings using QAM256

Hmm, my TV stick only state "T230" without the "C".

So far, any version above v5.3.0 doesn't really work well on my system. Will give the version you mentioned a try. Tks.

Does anyone know why Ch8 ChU HD not showing english subtitles when Ch8 ChU Analogue will show the eng subtitles? Is on the same USB TV tuner card TBS 5281 DUAL DVBC BDA TUNERS using DVB Dream software. Check everything but just could not figure out which settings problem.

Those screen captured I posted all same programmes and from the same software, just that for HD no english sub whereas Analogue it will show english sub. No options in DVB Dream software to set subtitles, maybe I will try other TV software like DVB Viewer.

analog video's subtitle is hardcoded.

dtv's subtitle is generated by the box/tv and overlayed on video, you can choose the language. you have to do a one-time setup.
