Well one famous reason why they broadcast more 4:3 instead of 16:9 is because many households still uses CRT TV 😊  that's why even HD channel is less (another reason is HD consumed more bandwidth).. And also the famous lowest cost possible...

u know what..

I did say the same thing previously

what happen later.. got "attack" left right from some fellow saying I live in rich bubble.. didn't see the overall situation especially in those kampong house / rural area etc.  go out to real world and see yourself.. 

-.- Well, for one....mytv reduced broadcast transmission power after switching to DVB-T2....so......good luck?

-.-?
DVB-T2 standard allows reduction in the peak to average power used in the transmitter station around 25 - 30 % compared to DVB-T.
He was saying his TV DVB-T was able to receive the trial signal before DVB-T2 is selected.

Hey guys, i bought a dvb-t2 decoder with JP-5e antenna.
House in Bandar Bukit Tinggi Klang, so need to use Bukit Sungai Besi Tower.

My existing (analog) need antenna booster only can view 8TV & etc. So my area here reception very very bad.

So for this digital decoder, i run another new RG6 cable, didn't use the existing analog cable which installed booster.

I have set my decoder to channel 45, frequency 666 but still cannot get the signal.
However, the signal "Strength" and "Quality" can get 80% or more when i move around the antenna, but 1-2 second only, then both become 0 again, means no signal.

I have also double check the connector but still like that, not sure is antenna, decoder or my area poor signal problems.

Fyi, before government switched to DVB-T2, my LG tv last time can received DVB-T signal, DTV & Radio.

Appreciate sifu here can share some ideas. TQ

However, the signal "Strength" and "Quality" can get 80% or more when i move around the antenna, but 1-2 second only, then both become 0 again, means no signal.

I get extreme great quality in DVB-T2 in my Panasonic EX600 TV than my previous TV Box. Previously it keep breaking and no signal especially in Singapore channel  but now different story. I believe it is due to the quality of the DVB-T2.

My antenna still same outside 2nd floor window only and didn't make any movement to the antenna. I still get similar signal strenght but now is 10/10 of signal quality. Never ever happen no signal or image breaking like last time when using TV Box.

I think you should invest a better box or change your current tv as Plasma is not good to environment.

If buy a new TV sure won’t have so much headache.
Alot of things built in already

One question, in Lazada you'd be able to find those Freesat V7 Max DVB S2 boxes for under $150.

Can i connect this to the RG6 cable (currently unused but working xtro dish) to get the MYTV channels without installing the UHF antennas?

I assume that all digital tv transmitters in Malayaisa are transmitting on UHF band with horizontal polarization, am I correct?

Thanks for this clarity

Separately think there's boxes that able to manage DVB T2/S2, has anyone actually managed to watch both free satelite and terrestrial TV?

All these are received in Segamat, north Johore.. Featured are Mediacorp Ch5, Ch8, Vasantham & Suria from Bukit Batok while TV1 and TV3 from Gn. Ledang. Kinda hate the siaran MYTV watermark though.. Hopefully MYTV will remove it since it's very annoying. Btw There is a problem with my MYTV box that it tends to say 'No Signal' whenever i tune to Okto or ChU. But other Singapore channels are fine and crystal clear.

long ass EPG is long.

Channel U (HD) on Ch35 is blocked by Analogue NTV7 from Gunung Ledang though. Not sure about Channel 33 (maybe the signal is too weak to receive in your location.)
Signal from Gunung Ledang famously interfere some channels/services from Singapore since the plan on Malaysian side is they assume viewers (especially North Johor) cannot receive any services from Singapore on a standard rooftop aerial placed on 10m height. Nevertheless, viewers mount high aerial poles and fringe area antenna for slightly improved choice. However on Johor Bahru, MYTV planned the transmitter approximately to the antenna direction to Bukit Batok Singapore/Gunung Pulai for whole of Johor Bahru to boost digital TV coverage.

Seriously, still not many Malaysians know about digital TV, and still stuck on analogue TV especially the ones that don't have Astro/Njoi/Hypp TV.

All I see from the way MYTV Broadcasting market myFreeview branding and the way they convey the message isn't very straightforward and clear cut enough. In the news, they mention analogue TV will shut down in June 2018. But seriously, many people don't even know what exactly is "analogue TV". Most of us see before the "use antenna to receive TV1 to TV9 channels and can see a lot of white ants on TV screen, otherwise subscribe to Astro or Njoi then you won't see the white ants anymore and very clear", but they don't know that this is actually call analogue TV. *facepalm*

It is less than 12 months before analogue switch off, and I wonder what will really happens on June 2018 where many Malaysians especially the not so educated ones and properly inform ones, suddenly can't watch any channels? I guess the first thing they'll suspect is the antenna is broken. *another facepalm*

I see those MYTV "testimonials" from those very kampung (rural) areas, especially those Malay uncle aunties (no offense or stereotypes involved), when they see the picture quality so clear with digital TV (cuz they don't subscribe to Astro or Njoi), it is like a heaven to them and very surprised, as if like digital TV is a very groundbreaking technology like that. And then, they hold the MYTV packaging box, gives a thumbs up, and then make picture, then I'm like..... Mmhmmm....

Sometimes, I really kesian them lah. We're already in 2017 and I can't believe that I can still see that. Damn.

If worst case scenario where many Malaysians still rely on analogue TV still haven't or not ready to migrate to digital TV, the analogue TV switch off MIGHT get delay, and i won't be surprised if that happens. If that happens, MYTV Broadcasting will be the first to be blamed for not publicise this info even more than now. This also happens in some other countries too, especially if their digital TV rollout is not yet full nationwide. But then, you can say that it has lesser chance that the delay will happen in Malaysia because the coverage now is nearly 90% coverage already, and will reach 98% before analogue switch off.

Or, they can close eye and proceed to switch analogue TV off, let those many existing analogue TV viewers figure out what to do next.

Personal recordings recorded OTA across few days using Digital set top box and then calculated using bitrate calculator on laptop.
The picture quality Singapore HDTV is definitely better than Malaysian HDTV. I don't have Astro/NJOI in my house so I make no comment for Astro PQ quality. Note that the trial for TV3 HD uses only 4xxxkbps average bitrate, which although look sharp but mediocre. (looks like Youtube HD video)

Unless bandwidth based charging for MYTV is in force then Media Prima may use higher bitrate and the picture quality gets better? As I know their own Tonton HD stream in 1800kbps breaks up very frequently.

For HE-AAC V2 issue, I assume all are using HE-AAC V2 because of 32kbps.

However, there are cases when the bitrate for Singapore DTT is insufficient, worst case is like the picture shown below. (The particular programme. which has a lot of intense scenes, just breakup almost all the time.) In normal settings (like drama) it just look fine.

Below is the last para extract of the full article above. MP GM of Engineering talking abt existing struggles with HD:

While 4K/UHD broadcasting has gained momentum in countries like South Korea, Japan and Vietnam, other countries such as Malaysia, which is still predominately engaged in analogue broadcast, 4K/UHD is still too early for terrestrial broadcasters, said Dr Ahmad Zaki Mohd Salleh, group general manager, engineering, Media Prima.

“Although broadcasters in Malay­sia will be asked to migrate to digital TV in July this year, many fundamentals issues have yet to be discussed and agreed upon,” he explained.

“Media Prima will continue its investments into HD facilities because 4K/UHD is still beyond our horizon for now. Keep in mind that going 4K/UHD is not merely about cameras, it involves back-end ope­rations — such as networks, servers, editing systems — that are all required to be upgraded.”

Any news about:-

Green Packet's (P1) three new Chinese channels?

RTM and Media Prima's 10 new channels?

The other 19 unconfirmed channels from long ago?

And whether Long TV can be received on both official and unofficial MYTV decoders (Digital Terrestrial Decoders)?

on the 19th floor of a residential building here in Hanoi
i can receive over 200 channels with an indoor antenna

some of them are repeated signal from surrounding cities.

total channels available in Hanoi should be around 164.

more than half are encryted channels that required special decorder with pay subscription

therefore, total number of channels available free to air are actually around 70 including few sound only channels (radio)

I'm surprise to see Malaysia's DTV lags behind Vietnam, Thailand, Indonesia when I visit KL last year.
