It's possible at certain area in Sibu. But extremely difficult at my house, even external antenna is set 3 meter height from rooftop, signal reception is still not stable. I am waiting for transmission tower at Bukit Lima to operate because it's nearby.

cant wait to try MYTV in kapit rclxm9.gif

Thanks for this info.
Based on this Apparatus Assignments list, looks like MCMC only allow MYTV Broadcasting to transmit in 2 mux now, rather than 3 mux during the initial testing period. Well, except TM KUALA ROMPIN_MUX C (Eastern region).

And, all digital TV towers are operated by TM? I thought RTM and Media Prima has their own transmitter towers, and fully owned by them? Also, it appears that MYTV themselves don't build new transmitters from the ground up nor own any digital TV towers, but instead they seems to "lease" from TM.

TM own the transmission towers thats why TM cut off the transmission last year due to non payment by MYTV

Yes I remember.
So is it like, last time some towers are not initially owned by TM, like some towers belongs to MYTV, RTM and Media Prima, but now all towers becomes owned by TM to operate DTT?

Or all TV towers are actually belongs to TM since the beginning?

Okay. Once you receive your antenna and finish laying the cable, you do a manual search on 666MHz (Channel 45), and then monitor the signal strength reading while you align the antenna. Once you get signal, continue align until you get the highest Signal Strength % reading possible, then tighten the screws to complete the installation. Also, do make sure the "BER" reading is zero, and it is not fluctuating. You can check those signal parameters at "Diagnostics" menu on your MYTV box.

done installed ytd after received the antenna and cable...tired...
finally can receive the digital channel...hohoho
best strength is 76%~80% and quality 98%...
but i dun see "BER" reading...what is that?
picture quality is better...but my mom cant feel it...maybe my tv is 32" only...haha

cost for outdoor antenna + 15m rg6 cable RM60.30
stand set RM18 (quite expensive i think...bought at local shop at town)
so that's total cost to convert to digital...considered ok la...hehe

anyone know what is the usb port in mytv decoder basic for? recording only?
and anyone know what is the wifi function for? and how to type "@" in the decoder? can't find pg+/- in the setting...
in future maybe will get a better decoder that can play movie thru usb also...all in one decoder.... brows.gif

Go for combo STB S2+T2, but you need to have parabola. If you have more budget, go for S2+T2 +Android box 👍

Congrats... We'll, as long you can watch DTT without any reception issues, then don't need to bother about that BER then...
32 inch is too small to see a greater difference. Go for 42 inch and above, or 60 inch for 4K TV, if you have the budget la.

USB port is useless for now, and MYTV said it is "Reserved for future use". Some people use that port to charge their phones, although it wasn't meant for that purpose, since the USB port does output very low power, so the charging time to fully charge your phone may takes 4+ hours.

Can you attach pictures of your MYTV box, as well as the packaging box as well? Thanks.

Yeah, small satellite dish is good enough to gain KU band channels from one /two satellites, especially Chinasat 11, Measat or Apstar 7. Big parabola+actuator is recommended for C band and multiple satellites like 10 😘

Did you buy this MYTV box from Shopee?
https://shopee.com.my/MYTV-Decoder-Siaran-D...84212.792302418

Based on your packaging box, it seems that your MYTV box can support 4K UHD and HEVC H.265 video codec. Lucky you, cuz not everyone gets a digital TV box from MYTV that supports 4K UHD video resolution.
Basically means, if MYTV transmits 4K UHD channel in the future, your digital TV box will be able to support and you can watch it on your 4K TV.

Can you take a pic of your antenna installed at your rooftop?

QUOTE

You use your new antenna and cabling to watch analogue TV? Is it better than your previous old antenna with 3C2V cable one?

QUOTE

Nope. It seems that the problem comes from your side, not digital TV problem. Double check the F connector port of your cable connection between antenna to MYTV box is properly and correctly connected. Here's a reference:

If the cable has no issue, then try realign the antenna again.
You monitor the BER reading, make sure it's "0" (e.g. 0.000) and not showing any numbers and fluctuating.
I don't have MYTV box myself, but I used it before, and I can't exactly remember which menus to press. You try navigate and look for option like these "Settings>Installation>Diagnostics"

If I would a MYTV box, I would definitely buy the S2+T2 one (Satellite + Terrestrial combo).

Oh, this antenna is Thailand brand one. I saw this before.
It appears that your antenna is pointing towards your rooftop. The long long part that points towards your rooftop, suppose to point towards a clear line-of-sight towards the nearest TV transmitter. Do relocate your antenna to the higher part of your rooftop, and make sure there's no obstruction along the way.
