Thanks for the update, haven't been keeping in touch.

Anyone can recommend good internal UHF antenna with booster for use in low signal situation.

Just buy dvb-t2 tuner la, less than 200/- . Still save money.

Like the person said above you just need any UHF antenna. The labeling of DVB-T antenna is just marketing. The DVB-T2 digital signal received by the UHF antenna will be decoded by the DVB-T2 Receiver/Tuner in the TV or Box.

If your outdoof antenna is UHF type, and just fallen down (but everything else intact) then just try first before buying new one. Get someone to put it back up and point towards the direction of the nearest station in relation to your house. I presume it's the Sungei Besi station for Puchong area.

If don't know the direction , use google or ask around your neighbours, see if anyone already installed and follow their direction.

However if your house and the station too far off or there are tall buildings or structures blocking the signal then too bad.

Don't forget your TV need Dvb-t2 built in or an external decoder box and also need to scan the UHF frequencies for the signal.

Yes need to align to the nearest digital transmitting station. Now all the stations go through MYTV Broadcasting co. , their service branded as myFreeview.

You can try indoor ariel if you like, but puchong quite some distance from Bukit Sungei Besi station so you need a bit of luck, depending how deep into Puchong you are and obstacles blocking.

I think they give to kampung people first priority.

Must collect from selected shops. Maybe need to wait for letter or something.

Previously I was just guessing.

Don't you know different dramas/movies are filmed in different Aspect Ratios. If the original source is 4:3 as shown in your pic (Same ratio as old CRT tv), then you will see it with black bars on on the side on your modern 16:9 TV.

If you want ,you can adjust your TV to zoom the screen , but then the picture will be cut off at the top part.

If you just zoom the picture sideways to fill the black bars, then the picture will look distorted, everything will look flattened.

When all the kampung people have stopped using CRT tv and upgraded to 16:9 LCD/LED

Do you stay in kampung? How do you know , if you are living in Urban area.

Even in my low cost apartment in Puchong, a lot of people there still using CRT. Not everyone is well off like you .

Like I said you sound very well off and snobbish only know what's going in your well protected shell.

Sorry about that, back to topic

No matter how much in the red, they are not worried because they know they will be bailed out again, using 'our' money .

Those kampungs already getting free decoders sent to them under br1m. The decoders still got Analogue output , can use back old crt tv.

Sure have for HD.

Who said anything about analogue out being RF. By analogue out I was referring to composite RCA.

LOL you are a joke How can an old analogue Crt Tv input digital signals and display a picture and sound. For Composite AV, the digital signal is first decoded by the decoder and the picture/sound is converted to an analogue signal by the decoder DAC (if necessary also downscaled to SD if original source is HD) before being sent to the RCA. In the end, the signal input into the CRT TV is an Analogue signal not digital.

It's only the HDMI that receives the decoded digital signal (on/for modern HD tv), not the RCA .
