The braided shielding coming out of the RG6 should be under the plate secured by two screws (polish if possible to ensure better electrical contact). He simply cut the braided shielding off!? That may explain the relatively low signal strength.

F connector ends on antennas on the market in my experience means it's not locally manufactured - most Thai manufactured ones have this. Locally manufactured ones, such as you friend's still require such "manual" termination. They are common at local electrical shops.

One curiosity - why did he decide to terminate and do a connection just so shortly out of the box? Why not run the whole length of the cable from the back of the decoder / TV? Introduction of such connections in my experience usually increase risk of signal degradation.

He rewire his antenna again earlier... He makes sure the braided part touches on the metal plate as what you previously mentioned. What do you think? Is it correct?

That's the aluminium tape touching the plate. I don't see the braided shielding (wire) there? It's best that they (the wire/braided shielding) are "wrapped" around the plate. That's what I always do.

How wrapped around the plate? Can show how you do it on your antenna? 

The wiring from the coax connector to the element looks very corroded

hi. i need an outdoor antenna/ aerial installer. can anyone shared their contact with me?

Hi,

want to ask anyone face this issue where TV1 and TV2 signal can't be received? Other channels are okay though.

It is a known reception issue where either Mux 1 (TV3, 8TV, Go Shop...) or Mux 2 (RTM) channels can't be received by some viewers.
While monitoring the signal strength readings on your TV or digital TV box, readjust/relocate your antenna until you get a stable signal of Mux 2.

you should inform your location. nobody can cover the whole malaysia

hi.. i am new member here..

my name is JON, and i am Indonesian, from north sumatera, Medan City..

after reading this forum topic, i am interesting to get signal from Asiasat 9 Satellite that MYTV relay it..

i just want to ask is that signal is encrypt it ? , if yes can i buy MYTV Combo DVB-S2 & DVB-T2 original, and that box need to be activated ???
regards

hi, thanks for your reply,, i know what i am doing, i am expert to install parabolic dish to receive satellite signal, as you know i can receive signal from ABS2 sat that MYTV relay it with Multistream support receiver and 10 feet parabolic dish..

but not all residents have big garden to put 3 meters dish, so side offset dish 90cm can use to receive signal from Asiasat 9 ku-band.. but the problem is the signal is encrypted. so we need right decoder to decrypt it...

i see malaysia residents have an option to receive their local live tv, from Teressterial and from Satellite.. and lucky for malaysian residents can have receiver MYTV combo that have DVB-T2 & DVB-S2..
regards

JON

yes , .. if you can refer online shop that can sell that hybrid box and already activated ?
