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

It will be really helpful if you can post screenshots of all the possible menu settings unde 'Broadcast" for me to help you.

I can't post images due to insufficient post count.

Then post whatever settings option you have on your screen.

These are the setting found under Channel Settings
Manual Tuning,
Fine Tune,
Transfer Channel List

I called Samsung Service Centre and they confirmed a recent firmware update removed "Country" from Channel Settings menu.

Under Auto Tuning, there's no selectable option for Cable in Aerial?

 

[ralph_00_79]

Nope. Just show "Air". Samsung Customer Service officer told me DVB-C is for analog and I need to use T2 to receive HD broadcast. The country selection no longer available. It was removed from the new firmware update.

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.

Belden 1530A coaxial cable is quite a common cable, dun need to custom make at higher price unless u wan length which is not available

Ready made Belden 1530A coaxial cable is cheaper in some shops and comes in 2m, 5m, 10m, 15m, etc
2m one can be as cheap as $4 only
Longer ready made ones also few dollars cheaper than custom make one

Where to buy longer ready made Belden 1530A coaxial cable at cheaper price? Looking to buy 15m cable.
