Ijjit!!! Basket... Kena smoke...

Yes it's true. Just in case you missed my YouTube link.

Bro, you using sony bravia 32 W674A TV? Are you using the build in DVB-T2 to get the hd channels?

Yup!! The test channels very clear.. Later got time I post from my HD media files to compare ...

 

[congster2]

Folks which antennas r u using again? Cannot use the hdb aerial antenna?

 

[edwinz]

Yes it's true. Just in case you missed my YouTube link.

Woah... Now I understand...Thanks a lot!
But why the test channels clearer when both were 1080i?
I think it's because the source native format is lower res for some channels vs. the best resolution I see now in the test channel, even when the boardcast format is 1080i... Is my guess correct I wonder?

 

[stamina]

Well they are still on trial, so if it's about the same as the previous DVB-T trial, the signals are normally only on either during the day, or from 6pm to 11pm.

I have an LG DvB-T2 build in TV. I tried auto tuning at 7am just now.Under DTV auto tuning, it doesnt detect any digital channel. Any idea why?

I am using my 2-4 meter cable, looping it around some of sections in my window grill and touching the coaxial connector directly to the grill.

Word of warning! Mileage may vary and my location is in Pheonix/CCK. Perhaps close to signal station?

The wall SCV cable antenna only has DVB-C signals and no DVB-T2 signals. If your DVB-T2 TV doesn't support DVB-C then it can't receive the channels.

Alamak. Then this dvb-t2 channels come from which source? I thought in flats, only got two source, scv wall cable and rooftop antenna cable?

DVB-T2 channels are in the air (ie wireless), so u can receive them from rooftop antenna or indoor antenna. This contrasts with DVB-C channels which are carried on StarHub's cable network.

 

[stamina]

So for my case, shouldnt then the tv detect automatically even though the scv cable is connected to the tv?

So u have not answered the question. Does your TV support the tuning of DVB-C channels?

i dnt see any mentioning of dvb-c in the online product page of my lg 47la690t.just dvb-t2. Can help me check and confirm?but it should support dvb-c too rite since i can watch scv wall cable channels now.

 

[Silverback84]

if I have a dvb-t hd receiver can it receive hd5 n hd8?

 

[Kiwi8]

Only DVB-T2.

 

[stamina]

Only DVB-T2.

okay.but how come i can watch the scv wall cable channels which u say are dvb-c? So how is my tv able to detect T2?

The SCV wall cable still has analog channels. Your TV also can tune to analog channels. So it's probable that u are tuning to analog channels.
