Somebody should pressure Media Prima to use same DVB-T1/T2 system as RTM one.

may be DMB-T/H is better, tv channels can be streamed to handphone

They already stopped DMB-T/H last I checked tho. Unless my Pontus receiver is dying, it failed to pick up MP signal since last test.

Good one!

Oh god, hope they don't delay sumore to "trial" ISDB-T also.

Just like the gomen, even flip-flop of using new digital tv signal.

Hope they don't even consider it. Because ISDB-T allow the use of CAM cards like assteruk.

See, in Japan, they still have TV license requirement. So their gomen use CAM card to potong those who dun renew their lesen.

If MCMC choose this system, then surely they considering reimplementing lesen TV?

Agreed. On one hand, maybe it will mean an increase in quality of shows airing on RTM channels. On the other hand, you know lah..

Found an interesting documentation by MTSFB regarding standards for the Free-To-Air Digital TV Transmission:

- now they stated DVB-T2 as standard.
- note that the last page showing the committee which basically cover major TV content providers, chair by RTM and follow by Media Prima.

Hmm... Still wondering when will SD channel on Astro and Media Prima turned both digital and in MPEG4.

Document contains a lot of struck out info and use of obsolete tech like PSTN (56k modem) and ISDN

Overly ambitious caused the project to stagnate for so long?

Hmmm, CI... not good. That's a CAM card system used by some European countries. Just added recently sumore.

So gomen thinking of somehow making a Lesen TV system again... No wonder considering ISDB also...

As for Hbb TV, I think not feasible. If you're in a small town, say, Mersing or one of the kampung in Tioman- how to get broadband?

The Philips 6000 series LED TV comes with built-in DVB-TC tuner

http://www.philips.com.my/c/televisions/60...fl6606h_12/prd/

So, for LCD TV & LED TV who doesn't have DVB-T/DVB-T2 tuner (also older CRT TV), need gov. to provide some STB.

P.S: Possiblity the emas channel (Media Prima channel on Unifi) would be available FTA on digital tv signal?


http://kominfo.go.id/berita/detail/2570/TV

Dec. 2015 final analogue tv shut-off? That if only it's going on schedule, whenever which gov will rule.

LCD TV & LED TV with only DVB-T tuner will also kena, because T2 signal not backward compatible with T1 receivers.

Well, confirm that the Sony EX520/720, as well as sharp LE830/835 and LG LW45 series have T1 tuner.

The new Sony HX/NX series may have T2 tuner, LG LW65 series may have T2 tuner, LG LW57 series confirm has T2 tuner.

Also, TVs sold in Malaysia may need to support PCMCIA CAM card slot in the future due to CI+. Which people have to buy from pos office and renew yearly, just like lesen TV in the old days. Unless...

Maybe they will make it so you must pay yearly for these channels. It's possible because of the CI CAM implementation, and France is testing out that idea according to Wikipedia. For example, 1,2,3,7,8,9, Al-Hijrah, WBC and TVi free and can receive without CAM card, but for Pelangi, Sinergi, Panggung, Emas and whatever new channels they launch in the future, must subscribe and renew yearly, or even monthly, or they disable your CAM card from receiving the channel.



Expected tho, they still have lesen TV...

Added on April 24, 2012, 9:36 pmFrequency/UHF Channel Number?

Also, is it T1? Or T2? I just scanned from Channel 21 to 69 on my LG 32LW4500 and cannot find it, only found the usual 4 channels on 658/44 and 5 channels on 674/46

TM yet to decide on role in digital TV plan
By Goh Thean Eu
09/05/2012
KUALA LUMPUR: Telekom Malaysia Bhd ™, the country's biggest fixed broadband operator, has yet to decide on which area of the country's digital terrestrial television broadcasting (DTTB) project it wants to take part in.

Bidding documents are already out and TM will have until July 24 to submit its proposal.

"We are still looking at it. The bid covers a wide scope, more than just back haul. We need to look at it closer before determining which part of the scope that we want to be part of," said group chief executive officer Datuk Seri Zamzamzairani Mohd Isa after TM's annual general meeting yesterday.

The proposal to build and operate the infrastructure and network facilities for digital terrestrial television, which will run on the 470MHz to 742MHz spectrum bands, involves the conversion of analogue technology to digital technology for all terrestrial TV stations.
Under the current setup, TV stations are individually licensed as content application service providers, whereby they install their own equipment at transmission sites.

By going digital, the players will need to migrate to a different band, which requires new infrastructure.

Therefore, terrestrial TV stations could be offering their contents by riding on the infrastructure built by the eventual bid winner.

The proposal is expected to attract many parties besides TM.

It is believed that other interested parties include Puncak Semangat Sdn Bhd, a company controlled by Tan Sri Syed Mokhtar Al-Bukhary and whose technical partner is Kordia from New Zealand, YTL Communications Sdn Bhd (which has a partnership with US-based Sezmi) and Maxis Bhd with Astro.

TM, which had set up its own data centre in Hong Kong recently, said growth for its ICT and business process outsourcing (BPO) division was expected to be strong growth moving forward.

It is also considering setting up a data centre in Singapore.

Meanwhile, the company said its Unifi customer base had increased to more than 347,000 subscribers as at May 7, which is an increase of 46 per cent from the 236,501 Unifi customers at the start of the year.

TM's Internet business, which are mainly Streamyx and Unifi, made up about 22 per cent of its total revenue last year. Voice business, though declining gradually, contributed 41 per cent to TM's revenue.

"It's safe to say that contribution from our Internet business to group revenue this year, in terms of percentage, will be the same as last year. But, it could be better as the demand for our Internet services is really good," he said.

The group will be spending about RM2.5 billion in capital expenditure this year, the bulk of it will be to roll out Unifi network, as well as improve Streamyx services
