If under warranty just get Samsung to settle the issue. No worry.

It is only when the tech came and certify that the set is beyond repair then they can do that.

Soon the tech may give up and certify that it is beyond repair.

If Tv still under warranty please call LG. Please also call Mediacorp and their tech will visit u during weekday. Recommended antenna is Funke combo 5.1 la.

Does your tv has DVB-T2 tuner built-in? If no then a STB is required. To know whether tv or antenna faulty, it is simple. U can call up mediacorp to borrow a funke home 2.0 to see how it is. If can watch mean it is antenna faulty. Nowadays Tv repair is expensive and after sometime other issue may pop up.

Have... digital ready..
I have used my master room tv antenna to isolate the cable issue.. but fault still persists.. I guess the only way is to bring my master room tv out to test..
