Yes, but you may go to Tesco Lotus supermarket, more choices of brands and models.

I didn't get it in 7-11 Sadao, the 7-11 in Sadao are small shops, there is a Tesco Lotus supermarket in Sadao. Please have a look there sure they have various brands. Basic model starting with THB 690 may not have USB recording features.

Please post some pics if you have successfully bought the DVB-T2 set top box in Haadyai.

Lovely STB. hopefully you enjoy it with its USB features.

Which Hyper-market you bought this stb from ? Big-C, Tesco-Lotus ?

The 2-pin A/C plug used nowadays in Thailand wall socket having a slighly bigger diameter, it might not able to be slotted / plugged smoothly into Malaysia wall socket. A universal plug converter will solve this. My stb bought from Thailand also have this kind of A/C plug.

Since you tagged your location as in JB, I think you may use to receive MediaCorp DVB-T2. Some Singapore area capable to receive DVB-T2 from Batam too (I heard from SG DVB-T2 forum), not sure about JB.

                 

Not all 7-11 carry stb. Some 7-11 shops are quite small, limited  space.

Mine is MCOT white color DVB-T2 bought in Haadyai.

I am also using a Thai local brand (actually China-made) i-Mobile GSM phone equipped with DVB-T2: i-Mobile IQ 5.8 DTV. It is useful when travelling if destination countries that are using DVB-T/T2, watching TV without relying on data but again it is a cheap product. Battery drainning pretty fast.


Thai society widely recognised this logo for their digital TV DVB-T2.

Transmitter for southern Thailand are located at the top hill near Prince Songkhla university or Kuan Imm statue that hill site.

Where is this location of viewing?

To all Lowyat forumers once your area is able to receive digital, please update here. Thanks

The purpose of 'country' selection menu is 'to tell' the stb from which frequency start to scan,    if you selected:

1. Malaysia,
DVB-T freq. 174 – 230 MHz
DVB-T2 freq 470 - 862 MHz

so, stb will start scanning from 174 MHz and you will get both DVB-T and T2 channels
2. Thailand,
DVB-T2 freq 470 - 862 MHz

so, stb will start scanning from 470 MHz and you will get both DVB-T2 channels.

If your location in KL and select ‘Thailand’ for menu, I believe, you will missed out DVB-T. System will scan through DVB-T2 range only and you may get no channel. Have you tried this before ?
Just play around if you have extra time to get to know your receiver better.

Have fun.

Current Multiplex (MUX) serving DVB-T2 in Southern Thailand relay and transmitting from this location 7.0'N, 100.5'E (if you are using GPS) 

MUX TV5 -    ch.42 (642 MHz) - 8 MHz Bandwidth
MUX MCOT - ch.46 (674 MHz) - 8 MHz Bandwidth
MUX TPBS -  ch.54 (738 MHz) - 8 MHz Bandwidth
MUX TV5 -    ch.26 (514 MHz) - 8 MHz Bandwidth
Back to late (3rd quarter) 2013, they also use MUX NBT ch.50 (706 MHz) to do testing but this freq. not available during my scanning nowadays. You may try. May be the transmitting antenna (Tx) offset away from my receiving location (Rx) in Changlun or switched off but I can get all above 4 MUXes currently.

Happy Dxing.
ps. going there buy DVB-T2  stb  again ah ? Take more pic. I enjoy your receiving apparatus pics.

Hi I have a DVBT Ready TV.
How do I connect to digital station?

On my apartment there is a connection that says Antenna, Satellite and FM. I connect my TV to the antenna port and the scan failed to detect digital station at Kepong area
