All Samsung 2014 LED TVs are equipped with DVB-C tuner, but may need some tweaking around as some reported that the DVB-C tuner is locked to certain regions.

Yes you do! All Samsung LED TVs in 2013 & 2014 are equipped with DVB-T/C & DVB-T2/C hybrid tuner. And I've been enjoying clutter-free cable setup watching HD Mediacorp at great quality since months ago!

Setting Auto Tuning will provide you with the settings....

With that, ALL TVs with DVB-C tuner should be able to receive all Mediacorp HD channels without sticking any ugly antenna out to the sky!

P.S: And btw guys, i've already retired my DIY $2.50 unpowered antenna into shelve since we do not need them anymore!

I'm already enjoying watching Channel 8 HD over DVB-C unencrypted on my Samsung TV since about 2 months ago...

simply awesome, TY all - Samsung is the only choice for me now, all the other TVs seem to have only DVB-T2 receiver only. I also saw the Samsung spec sheet for the retail TVs at the shop and it said "DVB-T2 / C"

i also bought a samsung tv. 60 inch h6300.
Can i have the frequency details of HD5 so that i am able to do a manual search on my tv?

Or just follow your screenshots? No need to manual key in frequency?

Bro, does it matter if i use a cheaper Daiyo $5 antenna vs their $19 so call "HD" and better cable?

No need to manual key in frequency. All channels found through auto tuning scan.

I will say don't bother getting any higher priced cables for digital channels as these digital signals are not prone to image degradation as those analogue channels. You will still get the same great PQ even as low 30+% signal strength.

However, i will also not suggest getting these super cheapo, chapalang/unbranded cables as the copper wire inside are mostly thinly pulled and may produce image artifacts. For me i went for decent quality, reputable Belden 1530A coaxial cable (that's exact model issued along with all StarHub STBs/cable modems) that i've custom made at SLT for just $1 per metre, $3 per RF metal plug. Such 5m standard cable costs only $11. This is very price-competitive to those cheap cables yet offering solid build and excellent image quality.

My Samsung is 2014 latest model, UA48H6400. I got the coaxial cable and TV auto tune can only scan for analog, nothing on digital. I am connecting to the SCV point direct to tv

My bedroom TV, Samsung F7500 only shows "Air" in Auto Tuning whereas my living room HU9000 only shows "Terrestrial". Both TV are connected to the SCV point.

Read your TV manual.

 

[ralph_00_79]

My menu does not show "Country". It has 3 sub menus: Manual Tuning, Fine Tune & Transfer Channel List

Philips is the only other brand that has DVB-C tuners.
