QUOTE(truelife @ Jul 21 2017, 04:59 PM) Unfortunately, not everyone has unlimited internet data or subscribe to Astro. MyFreeview is mainly for those non-Astro/non-Njoi subscribers, people who have no unlimited data, and those who used to enjoy free analogue RTM and Media Prima channels. This group of people will have no choice but to find their way to receive digital TV channels before the analogue switch off by the government. I could not agree more. The faster and bigger bandwidth broadband like TIME is available only in Klang Valley. Everything Klang Valley. Sarawak and Sabah get last. Sarawak so big only get one transmitter. Actually they should ditch Klang Valley and emphasise on Sarawak. Anyway those enjoying the facilities in Klang Valley are mostly foreign worker and expats.

QUOTE(nexona88 @ Jul 21 2017, 10:01 PM) Sarawak got those big parabolic dish... Can get foreign channels uncensored  As same as Astro, those dishes and the equipment does not come cheap and poor people will never afford it. Anyway I think they close eyes on the dishes as they could not (or maybe do not want) afford to spend on infra in Sarawak.

QUOTE(JohnLai @ Aug 6 2017, 12:09 PM) Indoor, outdoor antenna, boosted and non boosted as well as manual scan. In Miri, no signal. Same at Sibu. If there is digital tv signal in Miri, I would be the first to know..... Are you able to get any signal from Brunei's DTT?

QUOTE(PhakFuhZai @ Sep 9 2017, 11:03 AM) Now PQ for 8TV on Astro is the best in the history of MP, even better than some of the Astro SD channels  That is so true. I noticed great improvements for both TV9 and 8TV (even on Astro). They used have to like 240p resolution. I even seem to like their subs quality. Haha.

QUOTE(JohnLai @ Sep 26 2017, 01:30 PM) I ran the tuning test last Sunday. Indoor non-amplified connected to usb dvb-t2 at laptop on those 3 locations = no signal detected Boosters are removable on three outdoor antennas (boosters are not located at roof antennas) = still no signal detected Probably Lambir transmitter is either down, non operational in first place or it is broadcasting at extreme low power 1KW instead of 5KW......kinda unlikely since Miri Airport is very near to the Lambir transmitter. John, you should try using amplified antenna. I still get no signal without boosted indoor antenna. Manual scan CH 47 (682). Thats the only one working in Kuching now.

QUOTE(JohnLai @ Oct 12 2017, 09:25 PM) Nope, only capture the dtt crap when I was at Sibu. Cause that GM was the cheapest dvb multiplexer (all in one) back in year 2014.... Apparently.....certain parties have the chance to songlap the budget allocation for digital broadcast  So Sibu got broadcast already?

QUOTE(Wobblyblob @ Oct 25 2017, 04:29 AM) Can the K2 DVBT2 receiver from Lazada receive RTM Supertext, MyKlik OTT/VOD and Tonton OTT through aerial? From what I know, this extended services by MYTV & the content providers are only available via HBBTV which requires a broadband connection and only available in Klang Valley. For you to enjoy these services you would need a Wetek type decoder or similar. I have one but then I don't live in Klang Valley so .... Somebody please correct me if I am wrong.

QUOTE(Qash-M @ Oct 25 2017, 03:15 PM) It's nationwide, I can access it using the iDTV red button function. Are you using MYTV official decoder? I am using a Videostrong K1 combo decoder. Last I checked my red button not functioning. I will try again today. Maybe it covers only West Malaysia at the moment.

Any new radio channels? The myfreeview facebook page mentioned that there will be 13 new channels (TV & radio) coming. At least some improvements

QUOTE(9M-MAS @ Dec 7 2017, 06:09 PM) dude, you're missing my point. I suggest you read carefully. My original point is, ASTRO's monopoly has screwed up TV broadcasting concept so bad, that people think Astro is TV is Astro. DTT is simply an evolution of analog TV of yore, hardly competition to PayTV that is Astro, but since people's concept of TV has been screwed, they think MYTV is a competition to Astro (not directly, anyway). This is so bad that the purveyor of DTT has to point out its FTA nature in order to encourage adoption. My point has nothing to do with the advantage of one over the other. That is a topic for another day. I really have to agree with you. The public have to understand that MYTV only provides the infra and rent the services to the content providers. Astro provides content whether reselling programs with TV rights or their own content. MYTV content providers will also be looking to make profits cos nobody goes into business to make losses. The content providers will be probably the ones to compete with Astro if they provide to the public paid services in future. We won't be paying MYTV for the transmission other than the decoder (if you buy an IDTV then you won't be paying them anything). Anyway MYTV is still in development stage so you should not be really complaining for free services. Just my thoughts please correct me if I am wrong.

QUOTE(JohnLai @ May 28 2018, 09:08 PM) But MCMC Gobind Singh is busy with world cup broadcast right and RTM stuff, how ar? Last time I read, a news dated July 27, 2017 THE GOVERNMENT has allocated RM308 million for 2.2 million decoder sets to be given free to the lower-income group to enjoy the myFreeview digital terrestrial television services.http://www.theborneopost.com/2017/07/27/go...tal-broadcasts/Might be they need to use the funds to pay for World Cup broadcast rights. Who knows.

QUOTE(nexona88 @ May 30 2018, 11:46 AM) RTM confirmed would broadcasting the world cup.. But there's limited live game & some delay telecast too.. All match is not shown... Only the opening match & final match is confirmed.. Others.. Depends.... Only Astro have the rights in Malaysia to broadcast all match live telecast... g The cost of broadcast will be 40 million of which part will be borned by sponsors but its still a lot of money. Would more worthwhile to spend on the needy and poor rather than for entertaiment.

QUOTE(Electrobiz @ Aug 5 2018, 07:48 AM) Also RTM/Media Prima should consider launching Teletext similiar to the Red Button/BBC Digital Text service in UK which is somewhat of MHEG Digital Text compliant. Even something similiar to HyppTVs Interactive channel would be good, but provide more information. I read somewhere RTM has plans to launch Supertext on MYTV platform, but dont know when. Something Interactive would be good. I thought that the red button function is already there for both media prima & rtm. Unless your tv or set top box is not hbbtv enabled. Mine is and the interactive content is easily accessible.

QUOTE(JohnLai @ Aug 12 2018, 04:07 PM) How about other area? I mean it only took MYTV 4 months (this year) to install transmitter in Sarawak from 3 to current 9. Previously, it took mytv 3 years to install 3 transmitters........one per year....for Sarawak. There were 3 muxes initially at Gunung Serapi but they turned off the other two. Now its only 682.

QUOTE(Skylinestar @ Apr 5 2019, 12:41 AM) My dad says his Sony X7000E tv can receive RTM channels but not 8TV. However, the myfreeview TV box can receive all channels. Already re-scan a few times on the Sony TV but still the same. Any reason why? Antenna is the same. Location is Kuching. Your dad needs to retune or rescan the channels. Ask him to try digital auto tuning .. also depends on what antenna he is using. If internal antenna then need realignment
