I live in kulai. Already bought dvb t2 decoder. Before this i can watch SG's SD channels flawlessly. I have outdoor antenna and booster.

But i cannot search any DVB T2 channels from SG. So sad.

Great news for Johoreans!

MyTV transmitter at Gunung Pulai is almost done. Indoor part completed already. Outdoor (tower) still in progress.

Loud and clear here in Kulai.

Southern part of Johor + Singapore should be able to scan those channels.

Bro which area are u at in Kulai and what kind of antenna are u using? Is it those normal indoor antenna with booster? I'm using Sony Bravia with built in tuner too but no luck getting anything.
*
My house near RTC.

I am using outdoor antenna with booster. But I think the antenna (and/or) booster broken already because I only can scan 3 SG's channels with frequent jerking. And analog tv very lousy. But... Mytv channels working flawlessly. Maybe because the transmission tower is very near (Gunung Pulai).

Your tv is dvb t or dvb t2?

My TV is sony bravia kdl-50w704a. So should have dvbt2. I'm using external antenna from a long time ago couldn't get any digital channels but can get some analog channels. Do I need to just readjust the antenna or I need a new one for digital altogether?

I think you better triple check whether your TV support DVB T2 or not. AFAIK, indoor antenna in Kulai should be enough to receive Mytv signal.

If it is confirmed that your tv can support DBV T2 and still cannot receive the signal, you need to buy outdoor antenna with booster. Sure can receive + SG channels.

Signal on and off mosaic, seems like weak signal performance. Do you think that Tx power will be increased after official launch ?

I will get another set of Yagi antenna for our local Mytv since concurrent one on roof top is doing well for Thailand DVB-T2.

Now is trial period. Of course Tx Power is not set to maximum.

The Tx power will be set to maximum after trial to cater 99% Msia's region.

Impossible.

Even northern part of johor cant receive singapore channels.

U can buy indoor digital tv antenna at jusco.

Better to install outdoor antenna with booster. Can ask at tv shop to install.

I just bought Greentek brand antenna on offer for 46.50 at Aeon Big, they go for 50++ at Aeon Jusco. Put near my window can receive SG channels. Can't try on MYTV coz they're MIA since last week near my place (Kulai).

Kulai which area? You get all SG channels?

I plan to buy indoor antenna at Aeon also. Need a new antenna to get HD channels because my outdoor antenna broken already.

Easy to install or not?

Can install it DIY or need to pay technician to mount it and do some wiring?

I'm quite curious why don't RTM broadcast the HD Olympic events through DTB-T2, even just on the Olympic Season. Since that this year they got the right to broadcast Olympic Games.

RTM HD transmission only via online streaming.

No. You can use your existing antenna to receive digital TV signals. Do note that Malaysia will be using only UHF band for digital TV. VHF band won't be used for TV broadcast anymore once analogue TV switch-off on June 2018 (our gov plans to make it happen on that date).

So, to get the best signal reception, make sure you are using a UHF antenna. VHF antenna also can, but signal reception won't be as good as UHF ones.

In general, remember that the job for TV antenna is just to receive signals only. It doesn't matter if you are receiving analogue or digital TV, SD channel or HD channel. There are no such thing; don't get fooled by those antennas that stated "DVB-T2 ready" or "Full HD ready" antennas. The only such thing is UHF antenna or VHF antenna.

But of course, make sure your digital TV receiver or TV's built-in digital TV tuner supports DVB-T2. If it is only DVB-T, then unfortunately you will have to buy a digital TV receiver set-top-box.

I want to know if 'booster' will help the digital TV signal reception?

Unlike analogue TV, signal boosters are not necessary for digital TV. So, don't use any signal boosters to receive digital TV channels, as "overload signal" (receive too much signal) may occur, resulting you not able to watch the channels at all (it will appear as No Signal).

Use signal booster for digital TV ONLY if you are desperate and unable to receive digital TV signals at all, even that you've tried to replaced new indoor or outdoor antennas with new cabling, or perhaps there's a hill or mountain or harsh terrains that makes TV reception difficult to receive. Otherwise, don't use booster.

If you have booster installed at your antenna, power it off. If still doesn't work, then it is better for you to completely remove the box-like booster from ur outdoor antenna. Meaning, connect the cable directly to antenna, not IN to booster, OUT to antenna, and also same goes to indoor booster. If still doesn't work even after all this, and even tried to align your antenna,  then it is probably due to the cable. If the cable is too old, like 10 over years already, then it's time to replace a new one.

Receiving digital TV signals should be way easier to receive compared to analogue TV. To make things simple, try using indoor antenna first, even though you tried before that receiving analogue TV channels is not possible or poor signal if you use indoor antenna at your location. If can't receive using indoor antenna, then only go ahead for outdoor antenna. Make sure you are using UHF antenna.

Before this I am using external aerial with booster to watch analog TV.

But now I cannot detect any Digital TV signal using the same aerial (with booster on and off)

But analog transmission working flawlessly.

My STB is ok because I manage to get the digital tv transmission in my dad's house.

So what should I do?

Should I get a new indoor aerial?

I live in Kulai. Gunung Pulai is around 10-15KM from my house. And I should get Singapore's digital channel too. But nothing show on my screen for digital tv.

Obviously it is antenna problem. I think you still need an outdoor antenna in order to receive Singaporen digital channels. You may try buying a cheap indoor antenna to test first. If an indoor antenna does not work, only then you may consider replacing your old outdoor antenna.

My old outdoor antenna can get all analog Singaporean channels and some Indon channels.

But fail to detect any digital channel.

TBH, all those cheap DVB T2 decoders lag like hell and I prefer the official Mytv decoder. Nicer GUI and very smooth.
