A close up shot of the 5 element UHF antenna being install at viewer's home by the authorised MYTV installer.


This antenna so cute and small. Feel like want to buy liao 

Got point too. Especially when after switchover, frequency from 700mhz upwards are unused anymore for TV after Digital TV networks has moved down to below 698MHz.

Besides 3C-2V and 5C-2V coaxial cables which was commonly used for terrestrial TV during the 70s-80s, is there any other cable types used for receiving analogue terrestrial TV back in the old days in Malaysia?

Some people tried using their existing old 3C-2V or 5C-2V cables (either used or abandoned for analogue TV reception last time) to try receive digital TV signals, some can get signal (especially using signal boosters), some would experience unstable or no signal at all.

In simple words, it is considered as old and rubbish cable in today's context.

Might as well as replace to RG6 coaxial cable to get the best reception possible in the area (subject to antenna and surroundings), and the use of older signal boosters for analogue TV are not longer needed, or must not be in use to receive digital TV.

Correct me if I'm wrong.

thanks for the insight

for past two days, i was unable to resolve, unable to received RTM based channel, and only prima media one. signal strength is about 54%, now i isolate the hdmi cable with aluminium foil. and it works. 

my antenna is high rise building master antenna system.

hope this help others 

the hdmi came with the decoder which i get it from lazada 

Hmmm... I have some questions wanna ask...
<600MHz = frequencies lower than 600MHz (example 470-606MHz)
>600MHz = frequencies above 600MHz (example 606-742MHz)

1. If the <600MHz part of UHF frequency seems to bring more benefit than >600MHz, and once analogue TV has fully switched off, what are the other benefits of using >600MHz then?
Seems that >600MHz brings more disadvantages than advantage to me.

And why some other countries (assuming already complete ASO), still uses >600Mhz frequencies for DTT if using frequencies that are <600MHz brings more benefit?

2. What are the other things that is on <600MHz which could potentially cause interference? Wireless microphones? 

3. Once 700MHz is used for 4G/5G, how would it affect viewers that uses UHF antenna that supports almost entire range of UHF TV frequency (e.g. 470-869MHz)?
If the DTT frequencies is re-stacked to <600MHz, will 4G/5G signal from 700MHz band still causes interference to those DTT reception?

4. What if someone can't get digital TV signals yet not sure what's the cable type used, especially if the cable jacket doesn't have any labels like 3C-2V, 5C-2V or RG6 or RG6/U?
Not everyone knows how, and willing to identify/measure the cable diameter like that. If this happens, how would you advise the person to check what's the cable type?
(At least if the person knows that if it's RG6 type, then at least it is safe to assume the cable type is ideal, and unlikely experience much cable loss like 3C-2V type (unless cable is damaged).
