However when I checked in the morning the date is still there.

Go observe the scheduled analogue shut down process at 12.30am... Hehe

Log of analogue TV reception on 20 August 2019:

12am: TV9 Bkt Sg Besi went off air, while TV9 G. Ulu Kali shows colour bar with test tone. Whether is the actual ASO for TV9 or just daily off air, I don't know. TV3 Bkt Sg Besi still showing TV squeezeback as usual, even prior 12am.

Around 12.20am, TV squeeze back is no longer shown on TV3 Bkt Sg Besi during Nightline news and commercials. Before this, the squeezeback is still there, even during commercials.

12:34am: After Muslim prayer and Negaraku national anthem song ends on TV3, TV3 G. Ulu Kali shows test card with test tone, while Bkt Sg Besi shows colour bar with test tone.

12:35am: TV3 G. Ulu Kali has went off air. TV3 Bkt Sg Besi still showing colour bar with test tone. The rest of the analogue channels still on air as usual, including TV1 and TV2 from KL tower.

12:41am: TV3 Bkt Sg Besi has went off air. TV1, TV2, NTV7, 8TV are still on air as usual, TV9 G. Ulu Kali still showing test card with test tone.

12:57am: NTV7 for both G. Ulu Kali and Bkt Sg Besi now showing the same NTV7 test card with test tone, after airing the same Negaraku national anthem.

Around 1.08am, NTV7 and 8TV on Bkt Sg Besi has went off air. NTV7 G. Ulu Kali is still showing colour bar as earlier. 8TV Ulu Kali is still showing programmes as usual. 8TV is currently showing Korean drama series, as appear on G. Ulu Kali. TV1 and TV2 appears to be still up on all 3 transmitters.

As of morning 8am: All analogue channels is still up and running as usual. Haiz. Looks that ASO for central and southern region is being postponed, again!

For Gunung Pulai area. All analogue channels are still up and running. (The transmitter did not switch off TX signal despite after closedown.) Maybe there are technical issues on MYTV/TM/Broadcaster side that cause the removal of switch over date. Also RTM had quietly removed the notice posted on TV2 Facebook. Also do you noticed the differences of testcard transmitted from Bt Sungai Besi and Ulu Kali?

At G. Pulai, how's TV3 look like now? Colour bar or no signal?
Alamak, don't tell me they postpone again ah...

Colour bar. (The transmitter is up 24/7) I think it is going to postpone again.

Bkt Sg Besi one is just plain colour bar with the usual test tone, while Ulu Kali one is the usual TV3 test card. That's the only difference.

Why the transmitter over at JB is 24/7?
Isn't that mean broadcasters got to pay more electricity fees by transmitting colour bar midnight? Doesn't sound make sense to me. Who wanna watch colour bar midnight? For G. Ulu Kali and Bkt Sg Besi, they'll off air on their usual daily midnight.

oh , didn't know that , but if the analogue really get cut , surely a lot of people complain .
I will see how do they response.

Besides, why all the channel epg gone ? No epg at all.
Is it build in tv problem or you guys also have the same case ?

Same here... When I switch to digital TV now, no EPG information. I'm also using IDTV.

If they really postpone again, we all shall roughly know the reason why. You can see how Malaysian free to air broadcasters are trying to inform the viewers to switch to digital TV, but is it effective eventually? Does the viewers even know that they are actually watching analogue TV broadcasts?

I'm using exactly like this.

Wideskall-Universal-Indoor-Antenna-Coaxial

The cable length is limited, can't go far.

I saw the shop using something like this
Indoor Standing Amplified TV Antenna

So... Is analog still working in Central and Southern Msia?

Still up and running.
It did not switch off as scheduled. Haiz.

Thanks for the update

No offense, just to understand your point but why haiz? We still get to enjoy the digital broadcast altho analog is still up

I'm kinda disappointed the fact that they did not switch it off as scheduled, and always postpone and postpone for many times already.
I'm kinda sceptical that they would even switch off analogue broadcast nationwide by 30 Sept.

So now when is the new date 🤣

Keep delaying only... When can they make firm decisions...

Tonight 12.30am I think don't bother to wait.. later disappointed again....

To make it easy just do a nationwide switch off on 30th Sep...

just received my decoder from green packet.

later at home will try see the image quality.
