ntv7, analog UHF channel not stabil now, all the rest of the analog is ok.

oops sorry, thanks for updating

I use the term decoder, cos it's just a chipset in the TV to decode the digital data stream

analog will be switched off 100% anyway very soon & some areas are already switched off

I am using DTV.
When viewing 8TV for example, if using ATV, the TV screen display is FULL SCREEN.
But when switch to DTV, the TV screen is not full screen.
Anyone experiencing this problem?
Can fix this problem?
Or is broadcast signal problem?

PS : NTV7 also the same problem but TV3 is OK.

If you mean black bars at the sides, check your TV's aspect ratio setting.

you're only seeing this on the standard definition channels right? that's because they are being transmitted in 4x3.

only HD channels are transmitted in 16x9 aspect ratio.

you need to change the aspect ratio to 16x9 on your TV.

Yes, the black bars on the side.
But I can;t seems to find the setting in the TV.
At the TV DISPLAY MODE, there is only 1 option which is AUTO.
Will check the setting again.

Usually there's a button for aspect ratio on the remote.

Then don't set as AUTO.
Change it to "Wide" or "16:9" or "Fit to screen" or something similar. The naming varies across different TV models and brands.

Some TVs stretch the edges of the picture. Others make everyone fat

Hopefully this time no delay...
Stick to the date....

It's not easy to adjust the technical details, especially when some digital TV mux (3) is at 7xxMhz, the one on future LTE band.

Because of the delay..
We cannot use the band for telecommunications purposes like LTE usage...

7xxMhz is better... More covered... Distance...

Yes, because certain analogue TV station uses >700MHz range, so the LTE/5G services can't be used in 700MHz band.
But to think again, even if it shuts off now, the 700MHz spectrum will be vacant for quite some time (except some digital TV transmitters that uses 722MHz frequency)

https://www.malaysianwireless.com/2019/07/mcmc-700mhz-2300mhz-2600mhz/
So in other words, rush so fast to shut it off also, still have to wait at least Q3 2020 to be able to start enjoying 4G/5G services on 700MHz.

But despite this, I wish to see analogue TV to switch it off as soon as possible.

If I would guess, what would be the main advantage for RTM and Media Prima if they switch off analogue sooner?
Well, they can start enjoy savings for no longer need to pay electricity bills for operating the analogue transmitters.
Disadvantage? They'll lose the remaining viewership from analogue viewers who haven't switch to digital.

Well said...
As for now.. 5G is still in test mode... I was thinking why still testing... Now I know the deployment timings...

As for losing viewship... I sure many already know about this.. because TV always have ads & the box ads too (the screen become smaller bcoz ads bottom & side)...

yeah.. the earlier ASO the better. let the people switch to digital 100%. they can start to focus on digital content from now on.
