Are there HDMI DVB-T/T2 decoder sticks out there?

In Segambut. I don't have any way for me to test if I am getting the digital TV signals or not.

so i just got myself a new TV (LG OLED65E6) with built in DVB-T2 receiver

as I live in a condo, do I just connect the RF coaxial cable directly to the wall, or do I still require an external antenna like this --> https://www.lelong.com.my/digital-18dbi-boo...7-01-Sale-I.htm

also, does anyone know if Segambut even receives these digital transmissions?

thanks 😊
the condo I am living in is almost 15 years old, so I'll just buy the indoor antenna.

also, my older TV has a DVB-T (not DVB-T2), is it still compatible?

Noted... will just ignore my older TV then...

Which of these antennas would be the best value for money in your opinion?

thanks! will test the quality by plugging in to the wall first

Finally bought 2 75ohm RF cables, running one from my wall to my Belkin surge protector, and another from the surge protector to my TV

Getting pretty good reception whenever it's not raining, since I am only 11km from KL Tower

Able to receive 9 channels - TV1, TV2, TV3, ntv7, 8TV, TV9, BNC, TV Al-Hijrah (only channel in 1080i), and TVi, along with a test channel that's a duplicate of TV2.

TV guide works on all channels except the 4 Media Prima channels, which do not have even the currenr program info.

Also noticed TV1 and TV2 have interactive content accessible by pressing the RED button on my remote.

Are there any other channels I am missing?

lol tell me about it

my company put up 40 banners in the Bangi area (fully legal with permits from MPKJ). only had 10 left by the end of the campaign 😓

These are from RTM





These are from TV3, which surprisingly includes access to their radio stations and news portals

I'm on 666MHz

Not using anything... just the aerial RF cable connected from my wall to my TV, using internal DVB-T2 decoder.

Just press the Red button on the remote control to bring the menu up.

yes, I'm in KL, and yes my TV has smart features

It was using my Internet connection? I so blur... I thought it was somehow able to pull data over the air like Astro

this in interesting

I hope they release a version for Apple TV, webOS, and Firefox OS.

I'd like to help... but I have no idea how to access what my LG TV is doing

I imagine it would be registered somewhere in the router's log? (it's running on the asusWRT-Merlin firmware)

problem is such TVs are closed boxes... not exactly as accessible as a Windows or Android machine

However, it does not appear LG is surreptitiously doing anything with webOS (see https://www.wired.com/2017/02/smart-tv-spyi...zio-settlement)

I checked my router log... it only logs IPs, not even DNS

Not sure how useful this is to you, but it looks like both RTM and Media Prima use Sofia Digital (see https://sofiadigital.com/new-tv-services-case-example) for their HBBTV content, including the EPG.

i rely on my TV's built in DVB-T2 decoder

An antenna that can receive UHF signals is all you need

that's what I am using... the standard 75-ohm RF cable...
digital signal coming in clean and clear (I am located only 11km from KL Tower, so that may play a factor)

Was fooling around with the HbbTV services last night and noticed both RTM and TV3 have started beta testing their VOD service

RTM's MyKlik unfortunately shows the video in a tiny thumbnail, and zooming in stretches the 4:3 image to fill the entire 16:9 area

Media Prima's tonton is much better, and many programms such as Majalah 3 and Nona are archived all the way back to 2013 (I assume this is when they started HD mastering of their productions?). When streamed it is still SD 576i image, but it is proper 16:9 widescreen (what we normally see letterboxed in live transmission). Picture quality is rather meh, kinda like YouTube from 10 years ago.

Besides the forthcoming Caya TV, looks like another channel Syok TV coming soon as well, which is being promised by Afdlin Shauki to provide one-button TV shopping. Should be interesting to see how this is implemented
