Dear Sifus,
I need guidance. I read most of the post and yet I still don't understand much. Sorry for the really noob question but I'm really unfamiliar with this kinda of stuff.
We have a Bed and Breakfast of 9 rooms located in a very kampung area in Kundasang, Sabah. No streamyx, no unifi. Each room has a tv.
We recently spoke to a local electrician and he told us that we need to get satellite dishes to view FreeView because we are located in the hills.
I called the myfreeview's 1800 number alot of times but was told to email them. It's been a month and I still haven't received a reply from them.
Since we have 9 TVs, does it mean I need to get 1 decoder and 1 satellite dish or do I need to get 9 decoders and 9 dishes....? Where can I get MyTv satellite dishes? Does it have to MyTv, or other brands would work too? I tried searching MyTv dishes on Shopee, but there was none. Mostly other random brands.
I'm really at lost what to do as the holiday season is around the corner...
Thank you in advance and sorry if my post was confusing.

That's..... kinda heartbreaking. 😢 Never mind.
For your case, you may consider centralised satellite dish, so that multiple MYTV boxes can be connected from the same one satellite dish installed on rooftop by using a cable splitter or multiswitch or something similar.
Alternatively, the option of having 9 different MYTV Hybrid combo boxes (that supports satellite + terrestrial) across 9 different TV sets is possible though.
It's better that you get an installer that can directly sell and set up the MYTV hybrid boxes for you, rather than waiting for MYTV's answer.
Anyhow, because this is kinda "high level" and there are various methods of centralised TV systems, it's better discuss with a technician/installer near you that has the expertise to advise a suitable/better centralised antenna system that suits your premise and budget.
Or else, 9 individual satellite dishes installed on premise then connected to 9 individual MYTV boxes that connects to 9 individual TV sets across 9 different rooms.
Sounds kinda messy, eh? I'm not sure the budget wise is cheaper than centralise or not. Maybe cheaper, not sure....
But this is a straightforward method, especially if that 9 rooms are located very far apart from each other, instead of all in the same building block premise.

And yea, unfortunately, it is confirmed that Kundasang is under DTH coverage.
In layman terms, DTH (direct-to-home) means satellite TV.
And it's very likely that you're able to receive digital TV signals by using UHF antenna.

As for Internet access, does your area has 3G or 4G mobile cellular coverage? Which telco has it, and how's the network performance there?
If there's no mobile coverage, no fixed internet (fibre or copper) like Unifi or Streamyx, then the only option for you is go for Connectme, a satellite broadband provider.
https://connectme.my/Because it uses satellite, so it has 100% nationwide coverage no matter where you are in Malaysia, even in deep jungle or in the middle of nowhere.
25Mbps download, 1Mbps upload, 530ms ping (so definitely not suitable for real time online gaming).
Price? RM98/month for 60GB, or RM138/month for unlimited quota. Both has the same 25Mbps speed as mentioned above.
Contract? 24 months.
Hope my info helps...
