Need to see the specifications of the TV. Most new TVs should support it but check the specifications to confirm. Also some although support DVB-T2 but doesn't support all features. What I'm quite certain is all Sony Bravia Android TV supports DVB-T2 properly with HbbTV, LCN, Dolby Digital Plus, HE-AACv2, HD subtitles etc.

for that price you can only get 32" i think. just check that DVB-T2 is mentioned in the spec.
as a guide, i bought TCL 32" at lazada for 495 this year. just search "DVB T2 LED TV"

During Najib era, most of the time wasted and do nothing. Transition period is too short to educate public for ASO.
PLUS, the equipment (set top box) is a bit expensive compared to Thailand.

It was a horrible project to bid for, most sites are owned by TM. The MCMC did not allow TM to bid as they did not want a GLC to own the capital cost debt, but TM made a LOT of of money from making the channels use TM maintenance and tower rental

I no longer can view any tv channels. My tv is Samsung DNIe and model LA32r71BAX.
I stay in an apartment. Apartments usually have a wall aerial socket.

1. Is my TV digital tv?
2. If yes, do I need the apartment management to install a master aerial or something?
Or, do I need an outdoor aerial? Or, can an indoor aerial suffice?
3. If no, I suppose I need to buy a decoder. With a decoder, do I still need an outdoor or indoor aerial?

Your kind advise please. Thanks.

That TV model seems like very old model already, so it can't support digital TV.
You can either get a DVB-T2 digital TV box, or buy a new TV instead. TV nowadays has built in DVB-T2 digital TV, also known as IDTV (integrated digital television), so no need to use DVB-T2 box.

Once you got it, connect it to the aerial port of your wall point.
You can contact your building management and ask if the centralise antenna, or MATV system supports digital TV or not.
If it doesn't support, ask them when will they upgrade the MATV system to support digital TV?

Otherwise, get an indoor or outdoor UHF antenna to receive digital TV signals. Do note that it may not be guaranteed that you will get signal if you use own antenna, depending on your apartment's facing direction towards the transmitter, geographical reasons, nearby obstacles, and others. So if can use the building's centralise antenna, then use that.

1) I don't think so - it's a very old model.
3) Yes. The decoder now does the "signal catching" job instead of your TV which is now basically just a display. An antenna is therefore still required for the decoder to be able to do its job.

Hi i am using a sony android tv that supports DVBT2 digital channels. I have connected the tv to building antenna via the socket on the wall. However i can only receive the channels under “45” which are tv3,chwow shop, alhijrah, ntv 7, tv 8. However none of the channels under “49” are viewable. It says no signal. All the residents under the building i am staying in can receive all the channels. I have confirmed with management that the building equipped with centralised antenna system that supports UHF channels. All my neighbour can watch except me. The signal level for channel 45 is 80% with 100% signal quality whereas for channel 49 is only 26% with zero signal quality. I am staying in shah alam area. Anyone can help? I have called sony team to come over to my place and they told me its not a tv issue. I have called myfreeview as well and they are not in a position to help at all. Building Management team are not doing anything as well as the other residense can watch the channels without any issues. What can be a possible issues on my side. Wondering....

Sorry i got mixed up. The issues is with 45 which are most rtm channels. Channel 49 are working fine.

Maybe you can consider get an indoor/outdoor UHF antenna instead.
Depend on your location and other factors, this type shall be good enough.

But i already have a tv with built it DVBT2. Can i cause by the cable since i am not using RG6 type cable. I did went to hardware shop to survey the RG6 cable but they said its only for astro since the cable connection end is screw type and not suitable for connection to tv or wall mounted socket. Any idea how to use the RG6 cable for digital tv?

That hardware shop guy is not wrong. RG6 cable is indeed uses for satellite TV like Astro. All along was like that, but decades ago it wasn't well known to use it for terrestrial TV. But today, the RG6 coaxial cable is also commonly used for terrestrial TV. It is better than others, as it is shielded and has minimal loss due to attenuation especially if the cable length is long.
So basically you can say that RG6 cable can be used for both digital TV and satellite TV (Astro).
Also, get those normal and affordable ones (usually cable in white colour) are pretty much good enough already. Not necessary must get those expensive ones.

As for the connector, you can use this connector socket:

So anytime, you can just screw this connector socket, and connect to your TV to receive digital TV.

Although your TV has built in DVB-T2, you can still try use a DVB-T2 box (maybe ask your neighbour/friend to lend you for a while to test) and see if you can get the signals. If the digital TV box can receive all channels without issues, then perhaps there's something wrong with your TV's built in DVB-T2 tuner (unlikely would happen la, but no harm trying though...). But anyhow, try change to RG6 cable first.

Have you change the tuning range to 'full'?

I just directly terminate my RG6 with Beiling-Lee/PAL connectors.

Can also...
But for me, I prefer using "F connector to Belling Lee connector" type of converter so that I can easily interchange between Astro and UHF antenna, by using the same RG6 cable. That's also why I highly recommend RG6 cable for multi purposes (2 in 1, satellite and terrestrial) for TV.

Example, let say if I don't use satellite TV (Astro) anymore, I can still use back the same RG6 cable to connect to my outdoor UHF antenna, no rewiring or new separate cable needed. Just change the necessary connectors only.

RG6 is the cheapest and most available low loss cable
A lot of old TV coax is rubbish, minimal shielding or solid and lossy dielectric intended for the original RTM1 low band VHF

Besides 3C-2V and 5C-2V coaxial cables which was commonly used for terrestrial TV during the 70s-80s, is there any other cable types used for receiving analogue terrestrial TV back in the old days in Malaysia?

Some people tried using their existing old 3C-2V or 5C-2V cables (either used or abandoned for analogue TV reception last time) to try receive digital TV signals, some can get signal (especially using signal boosters), some would experience unstable or no signal at all.

In simple words, it is considered as old and rubbish cable in today's context.

Might as well as replace to RG6 coaxial cable to get the best reception possible in the area (subject to antenna and surroundings), and the use of older signal boosters for analogue TV are not longer needed, or must not be in use to receive digital TV.

Correct me if I'm wrong.

Hi, auto scan many times but cant get tv1 and tv2. Any guide on how to get them?

you need stronger & higher quality signals. Means u might need booster or bigger antenna.

In addition, for DVB-T2 frequencies that are near 680MHz, a properly shielded and terminated RG6 cable is needed and it shall be kept as far away from HDMI ports and cables as possible or at least not in parallel. This is because some HDMI cables transmitting 1080p signal can interfere with such frequencies and cause the signal quality to drop. This is from my experience and confirmed by the HDMI clock frequency in the HDMI 1.3 specification. To test if it is HDMI interference, turn off all HDMI source devices when monitoring DVB-T2 signal levels.
