To match FM coverage more transmitters are required. The existing batch of transmitters operated by MYTV (44 transmitters nationwide) is not enough.

Unlikely to get these additions.

The update on DTT for RTM channels enabled subtitles function on all RTM channels. There are now advisory on how to switch on the subtitles on TV.

If I remember correctly anyone could register by using their phone number and email. There will be free 1 month preview of premium channels, after that only standard TV channels + selected news channels will be accessible. Unifi subscribers will usually get more channels however.

Not sure, you may need to check out yourself.

No signs of TV Sarawak here.

TVS broadcasts on 1080i (HD) and on MUX 1.

Video bitrate likely on 4Mbps while audio is on the pathetic HE-AAC V2 32Kbps.

This is the first time that significant amount of Astro in house promos can be seen on outside Astro.

Wait for @joshhd for more information

Looks like the activation of MUX 3 will become possible in the future if the available TV channels keeps adding, as both MUX 1 (Commercial TV/Radio channels) and MUX 2 (RTM/Government TV/Radio channels) will soon become full with channels. I don't understand the uneven bitrates for video and audio channels despite being operated by single operator.
Radio services won't take much space though even with 96kbps HE-AAC /128kbps LC-AAC. But the reality is 32kbps is used and quite poor HD quality.

Imagine just a few years back, even MUX 1 was half empty as TV operators doesn't have the initiative for providing more TV channels.
With new operators and channels (Awesome TV/TVS/RTM digital channels/Drama sangat), more shopping channels (Wow shop/GO shop) and HD upgrades, things are looking more different than ever with 31 TV and audio channels on free DTT. Obviously residents living in the border get more channels.

Unfortunately, my area has too weak reception for Indonesian FM. So I worry it won't work in my area. May buy an antenna soon to test.

Let's see.

The long awaited thing had happened. 8TV is now in HDTV (1080i) instead of SDTV (576i). Rescan TV set/Set top box if there is transmission loss.

MUX 1 : Enough bitrate for with some extra radio stations + just 1 extra SD channel/1 channel to be convert into HD
MUX 2 : Enough bitrate for up to 3 SD channels/1 HD channel + 1 SD channel plus some radio channels.

Both MUXes are almost full now (1 MUX has around 34Mbps bitrate). So, MUX 3 is expected to coming soon (that will require advance information for rescan STB/TV) or cause chaos like before, where RTM channels move MUX, moreover with possible addition of channels.

Gone were the days where even MUX 1 is half empty due to lack of interest from TV operators.

Some ramp up of bitrates should improve video/audio quality, but financially it would be not advantageous to MYTV as they can sell more slots. So they rather stick to such low bitrates instead as they will have more slots by doing so.

Really, many questions.

I also wonder what will happen on the NTV7/DidikTV KPM channel on 17 Feb. How about the existing programs on the channel? (News slots, some informative programming, Running Man) Where will these programmes go?

How about the playout? Will it handled by Media Prima playout centre on Sri Pentas/Glenmarie?

How about the ownership structure? Will it be a JV between Media Prima/Ministry of Education or slot renting from Media Prima? How about the fate of the NTV7 channel?

Rescan is not supposed to be needed as it will automatically appear on the NTV7 slot.

Just heard that while I tuned to that channel but I had missed the final startup of NTV7 due to someone in the house messing up the recorder.

Well, it is possible.

And it was the final edition of 7 Edition on TV (which I obviously recorded it), as announced by the newsreaders.
Sadly there is no longer any primetime English news on TV (except the 10pm one on Berita RTM (only available on MYTV DTT)

Check out this one:

DidikTV KPM exists as a slot on NTV7.

Not me, which is another online user. I would usually record off Set top box. But this is a good software recommendation which can be used in the future.

All. But I use a third party STB to record as MYTV STB can't record.

Slightly off topic here but this is what the NTV7 channel is shown on Unifi playTV.
As we already know DidikTV KPM exists as a slot within NTV7 (which still exists too.)

As said on the post, Unifi playTV (require registration).
