30 years. It is like another PLUS expressway story.

While the original concession awarded to MYTV back in January 2014 was for 15 years, this has now been extended to 30 years. Chan confirms the extension but says there are still some technical conditions to be fulfilled.

Well.....30 years.....we are screwed....

I propose our government not to think MYTV to be another ASTRO cash cow.
Such scenario will not happen.

Speaking of which....Mytv should really boost Miri city signal. Some place doesn't even have the signal.

Better post at their FB page lor..
Let them know..

But I think, they answer would be.. We trying our best to reach out.. Please wait 😆

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.

If that happen, Media Prima goes bankrupt soon...

Hi guys. Can I assume if analog signal suck (can only get 1 channel, washout / grainy at best) means no hope for digital? I live in valley between 2 hills. No clear line of sight. The only signal I can get is from bukit larut.

Are you using an outdoor TV aerial??? If such condition happens even if you are using an outdoor antenna you would be better getting NJOI as your TV service instead since there is little luck to receive digital signal.

However, if you own the necessary equipment or if your friend have the equipment to lend to you, you can try Channel 45 (666MHz)

Two hills blocking the signal??

Then slim chance of getting clear Digital TV signal..

Your best bet is Astro

Not necessarily - I've seen areas where they could only get one analog channel but with the proper outdoor antenna they could get DTT no problem. Where in Perak are you?

I'm in tasik Chendroh area. Kledang blocked by hill at back of my house. Only can get bukit larut signal. I'm using cheap outdoor antenna just to try luck. Test with my Samsung led TV advertised as dvbt2 capable. Tomorrow I'll borrow my friend mytv box and will try again. I'm looking at intenet resources to get info about diy high gain antenna. Will they be any good?

Right now receive TV analog only. I tried raising the antenna no luck getting better signal. Now antenna in ground. Same signal as when raised 20ft.

I have Astro but want to cut chord as only my mom watch TV

Edit
Tried channel 45. It says 0 signal quality.

Tasek Chenderoh / Sungai Siput Area's local transmitter is indeed Bukit Larut. I've set up an antenna for digital TV reception near Trosor once before.

Get a proper multielement UHF antenna (preferably with as many elements as possible). Avoid those rotatable antennas as their cables are of poor quality signals get attenuated too much. Train the head of the antenna exactly towards Bukit Larut (use Google Maps or any of those compass / position pin pointing apps).

Since you said there's a possibility that there are 2 hills may block the signal, outdoor antenna is recommended for sure. If you couldn't get signal from your TV's built-in DVB-T2 tuner, then it won't be any difference if you use MYTV box. If you can't get analogue TV signals clearly, that doesn't guarantee you can't get digital TV signal.

If you can't signal, okay, don't give up first.
If you use any kind of signal boosters, or any cable splitters (e.g. TV reception in different rooms), remove it.

You can try a temporary messy set-up installation. Assuming you're staying in landed house, you go get a new RG6 cable and connect to your TV to your rooftop UHF antenna directly. Get what I mean? The cable will be laying around your house floor and dangling from inside to outside your house window to your rooftop antenna. This is just to check if you can really get digital TV reception or not.

Note: RG6 coaxial cable is the same cable used for Astro. RG6 is recommended cable type for both satellite and terrestrial TV.

Once you done, try aligning the antenna position and make sure it points to Bukit Larut transmitter position like what 9M-MAS said.

And, can you share a picture with us on how's your outdoor antenna look like?

Thanks for the suggestion guys. My antenna is cheap one with around 1.5 feet. So suggestion is to get the most element antenna I can get? If somebody could point me to the pic of suggested antenna type in my situation it'll be very helpful.

Bought the same antenna at pasar road for rm45

Any decent electrical hardware shop around Kuala Kangsar and Sungai Siput will stock the multi element antenna manufactured by MITO of Sungai Siput. Get the usual 23E model. Should cost you less than RM40 for the antenna alone.

5E does good job in my area, which is within range of the antenna to receive the signals.

Wwww...

Plot twist: When MYTV launches pay service in the future, you'll need MYTV Advance box and need to pay PVR recording fee.

If such things happen people will rather use cheap decoders from overseas which has such function. (unless one need to record Pay TV channel, then there is no choice but use MYTV box)
