Untuk makluman, terdapat gangguan pada isyarat MYTV DTH (Direct to Home) berikutan fenomena semulajadi ‘Sun Outage’ yang dijangka berlaku sepanjang bulan Mac 2020.

Ia merupakan fenomena semulajadi yang berlaku ketika radiasi matahari berada pada kedudukan selari dengan satelit dan bumi. Tenaga solar akan menjejaskan isyarat satelit yang sampai ke stesen bumi. Anggaran gangguan siaran adalah di antara jam 11.30 pagi sehingga 5.30 petang (waktu Malaysia).
*first it was the rain, now the sun outage 

My friend will be going to the ABU DBS Conference 2020 at Hotel Istana tomorrow, and he got the chance to ask lots of questions from the actual professional persons from the industry there.


And... Those technical persons from MYTV Broadcasting is having a talk too...


If you have questions that the usual customer service agents can't answer, do post your questions here, and I'll see what my friend can help
Of course, don't ask questions like "Why so many CJ Wow Shop...." or "why MYTV channels so boring?" or "when will upgrade all channels to HD?".....

As for the bitrate use, it's probably something gonna do with their business model.
And if they use HEVC, then every Malaysian DTT viewers are forced to change to a HEVC supported digital TV box/tuner to watch the HEVC channel.
MYTV can earn money from the sale of H.265 HEVC supported STBs from MYTV Broadcasting, but those viewers are not gonna be happy cuz millions of STBs needs to be replaced.

Only a few tens of thousands of users are using S2/T2 box.
But there are millions of users using T2-only box, and for MYTV, Botato and Greenpacket brands, it is DVB-T2 only and up to H.264 only.

Just imagine how disaster would it be if MYTV change all channels to HEVC video codec, like right now, or even within this year.
Things are not as simple as changing some settings with just a few mouse clicks.

More operation cost? Probably cheaper to just broadcast in H.264?

What about increasing the bit rate? probably cheaper than having 2 mux simulcast

But TV1, TV2 looks better than Astro version?

You pay for it?

If MYTV implements ATSC3.0, we can see the sunset of NJOI and Astro?

For HEVC 50fps, what video bitrate you think is enough?

Erm, I mean 4K UHD quality, HEVC 50fps.
You sure 6Mbps ah?

Tell us here no point one.

Ask Media Prima instead, why is all Media Prima channels (TV3, NTV7, 8TV and TV9) is still in SD quality on Astro, and when will HD quality available? You complain to Astro also, they'll probably just close one eye, and move on to other complaint cases.

Update : That usual self amusing watermark has reappeared to 2 CJ WOW SHOP channels. Luckily the main Media Prima channels (TV3/NTV7/8TV/TV9) remained watermark free, likely permanent, after its removal on 10 March.

MYTV Broadcasting is not Santa Claus.
They're just a provider that in charge for its digital TV infrastructure (means those technical stuff), ensuring Malaysians can receive digital TV channels, not creating TV content.

This one you got to ask RTM, Media Prima all those, to offer better shows to all.

Speaking of which, TV3 on tonton removed 1080p livestream option.

is RTM channels down? can't view it (TV1/TV2) can't get the channel even retuning it.

Yup, its back on MUX 1. Disappointed to see that 8TV is still not in HD.

🤔, what channel is that ?

New channel out on channel 000 - drama sangat.

Looks like is from Media Prima. Wonder why all Media Prima channel still not in HD.

All RTM channels is so sharp & clear in hd format.
