In KL you get this on a loop.

This is WeTek.





WeTek Play Android/OpenElec based media player with built-in DVB-T/T2 tuner. I was testing it when I noticed a new channel in the list labeled HbbTV. Must be testing the transmission or something since it's just clips of Anugerah Juara Lagu on a loop.

HbbTV - Hybrid Broadcast Broadband TV. That's the system MyTV will use to deliver interactive content. It combines both DVB-T2 digital transmission and broadband internet service. It's similar to FreeviewPlus in Aussie and NZ.

They had a seminar where they give out the info. You can find the slides from the seminar here : http://www.planetdigital.my/

For the interactive services part, you need some form of internet connection, at least 3G speed. I believe they give a MiFi router as part of the package based on the Trial video they uploaded. The internet connection is for communication, most content delivery is via DVB-T2 transmission. Catchup services might need full broadband connection.

From 2:13 to 3:15 it's the IPTV app.

Unfortunately no, they're pretty clear about that. Also there will be some form of conditional access system (ie smartcard or simcard) for their STB.

Supposedly. They were cagey when explaining it during the seminar, the way they explain it, it sounds like you MUST use their STB and MUST have their smartcard/simcard. CA also used for encrypted pay-TV channels. From what I hear otherwise, and from the trials going on in the east coast at the moment, you can receive FTA channels with any DVB-T2 tuner.

Magnetic?

As long as it's a UHF antenna.

If your TV supports DVB-T2, then yes.
