the screen cap is just the tv ad that i happened to capture~ i never say the card got the MDA label~

here's the ad~

Yes, I was aware that you did not say the card got MDA label. Unfortunately, the 2 screen shots posted without explanations gave rise to the question of whether they are part of the user's report or just grabs from somewhere. And since the first screen shot showed MDA label together with the channel identifications, I therefore gathered facts as accurately as possible and posted my comments hoping for clarifications.

After reviewing the youtube video, which appears to be a legitimate effort to create awareness of DVB-T2 broadcast in Singapore, several times, I am still unable to locate the 2 screen grabs posted by you in the earlier post.

Edit: Missed the critical phrase you posted: "i happened to capture~". So you already had the card, as pointed out LxIxVxE. Mystery solved

 

[mrsun18]

If TBS6285 is unable to tune to MediaCorp DVB-T2 signals, I don't see how TBS6281 can receive them. Both products' drivers were updated at the same time.

Many thanks for the link and the comprehensive useful info. I checked this download page you gave earlier. For unknown reason it showed a blank page. So I thought the link I gave was the latest.

Can I know what TV card and software you are using.

LxIxVxE you haven't answer my query leh

new to tv tuners, need some help here... have been looking at the thread, and am interested in the USB ones for my laptop.... can the TBS5220 watch and record starhub cable channels?

No, starhub carries analogue and dvb-c signals which are not supported by TBS5220.

In any case, most of starhub dvb-c signals are scambled, you can't watch them with you own tuner.

TBS5220 also works on dvb-c as long install the dvb-c drivers, which mean can watch & record all mediacorp SD channels & one HD channel at the mmt, ie. HD5~

Thanks for the update. I relied on LxIxVxE's post which did not indicate dvb-c support then for my earlier comments ...

last time for analog tuners, then u need to worry which tuner will give u the best video quality

but now for digital tuners, all will give the same video quality
everyone get the same video quality no matter wat u use

me got both usb and pci-e T2 tuners
so it depends wat kind u need lor
and only usb tuner will be bundled with a small portable antenna

signal this kind of thing hard to say, need to try to noe

 

[LxIxVxE]

so far only TBS got the most complete range of T2 V1.3.1 tuners
usb single tuner(5220), pci-e single tuner(6221), dual tuners(6281) and quad tuners(6285) - all must be the updated new revision
other T2 V1.3.1 models with CI not useful for local use

if wanna order TBS tuners, best to get from TBS direct through buydvb
email the sales b4 buying so they can take note of ur order and arrange the new revision to be sent to u, just in case they still got old stock not supporting V1.3.1
this is wat they told me last time

getting TBS tuners from other sources such as ebay or other online store might be old revision not supporting Sg T2, buy at ur own risk

other brands T2 V1.3.1 tuner might be available but not ready for sale
