You explain to the management that:

- You're trying to receive digital TV broadcast by connecting the wall socket to the centralised antenna.
- You can't receive TV1 TV2 channels but you can receive TV3, 8TV and others.

the antenna hard is out of date and need to be upgraded.
Not the antenna problem, but more like they need to get a technician to check the equipment in the MATV system.
Suspect one of its equipment is faulty, or needs to be replaced.

MATV = Master Antenna Television

Update.

If I are staying in apartment or condo, u are better off by just buying a rm10 tv antenna which is very small and again can receive all channels without prob. It works much better than the antenna used in landed houses.

The management don't want to upgrades & spend $$$

This really common for most places....

not suprised. general management of apartment/condo is poor. this is reason why most of them after 10 years or more, the facilities will all become very bad. Plus a lot of ppl do not pay maintenance fee etc. as well.

anyway, as i mentioned, this is a small prob for apartment/condo user, just get any internal antenna is good enough to solve this prob. it is as cheap as rm10 only. works like charm. this is the advantage for high rise as higher levels can receive the signal better.

personally i would rather connect to this kind of internal antenna than connect to wall one, as it is 100% safe from lighting strike.

It is true that many building management out there tend not to prioritise in maintaining MATV systems, giving justifications like "most people nowadays prefer watch shows through Internet rather than via Astro (satellite) or terrestrial; hence it doesn't justify the cost to maintain or upgrade it when needed".
Residents that default their payment in maintenance fees would further strengthen their justification.

And not everyone is as lucky as you.
To receive digital TV broadcasts by using an indoor antenna (or even a cheap RM10 antenna) inside a condo unit really depends on your location, especially surrounding obstacles, building blocks, which floor you live in (the higher the better), the direction towards nearby TV transmitter, etc.

For those who lives in 3-5 stories low cost flats may be out of luck.

Good Morning everyone, my grandparents place is unable to receive Media Prima channels suddenly

Panasonic TV from around 2018
Some antenna on the roof

It was working fine until yesterday when they let me know they couldn't receive TV8

I tried manually scanning Channel 45 666Mhz, nothing shows up
Scanning Channel 43 650Mhz works fine, I can receive all.the RTM Channels and watch them fine

Only Media Prima channels are missing

Just want to ask same thing, samsung tv cannot get all media prima channel, auto searching several time no result

Total channel found 8
Radio 11

i am sure it is something to do with the antenna and/or antenna connection. not your tv. if it's tv then all channel can't get

similarly it's something to do with the antenna. maybe it is miss aligned not pointing to the right direction

eventually a few days later they say its working again, so I'm going to say it was something wrong with the transmitter on Media Prima/MYTV's side

SPOTV NOW is now an ad-hoc channel.

The first-ever live event will be aired tomorrow:

If something wrong with the transmitter side, then whole Malaysia will be affected already, not just you.

Try readjust your antenna position while monitor the signal strength readings.

Well, im not the only one as there's another guy below my post having similar issues

either way I'm just glad its working again

SPOTV seems missing

It's because the live event has ended. It'll resurface in the TV guide once the new live event commences broadcasting.

In other words, SPOTV NOW is now an ad-hoc channel.

Funny.

I genuinely expected Tonton to carry the live BYON 5 boxing event on their streaming platform, only to find out they're pushing us to use some other app, Vidio.



Because clearly what every viewer wants is another app and another login just to watch one event. This boxing event is a PPV anyway at RM16 via https://vidio.com.

SEA Today has been shutdown across Southeast Asia today, including Malaysia (via MYTV Mana-Mana)

Yep, it continues to broadcast as of this writing. In fact, regional pay-TV operators such as StarHub in Singapore were not directly notified about SEA Today's shutdown.
