To me, the botato DVB T2 decoder is also good enough, decent playback.... but only issue is there’s lag sometimes when navigating between channels,etc.. that may change with the latest model though( mine isn’t the latest model)

If not mistaken green packet makes the mytv basic decoder which was given out for free to eliqible recipient, that may be a better bet

The MYTV Advance STB is also kinda laggy and gets hot. The recording feature also doesn't work. It has Ethernet port so can access HbbTV but the HbbTV is laggy till VOD can hardly be played.

Using a TV with built-in DVB-T2 and HbbTV support works way better.

As far as I know PVR function is intentionally disabled on the MYTV box at the moment... in terms of lag 🤔, never see the lag on the MYTV basic box though( rarely used so can’t give an accurate judgement)..... it’s even more responsive than the botato DVB T2

As I previously mentioned on my other posts, don't permanently install first. Use RG6 cable to connect the antenna to the receiver, then use hands to hold the antenna, move around the house while monitoring the signal readings on Manual Search page, to see which spot around your hse can get good signal. Of course, place the antenna higher the better.

5G is going to take over the analog TV spot?

700MHz band onwards will be refarm/repurposed for either or both 4G/5G use, that's for sure already.
They can also use 700MHz band solely for 5G, provided if the telco wants to do so.

Telco can also offer both 4G and 5G on the same band too.

4G or 5G makes no difference to the potential interference that this will cause to DVBT2. I notice that there will only be one 700 MHz infrastructure licence, to be shared by the usual suspects. 30+30Mhz pretty much uses up all of the 700 MHz

MYTV Broadcasting website has announced that DTT frequency restacking work will carry out in Langkawi area first, on 6 Jan 2020. Hope this time they won't postpone again.

These are the latest frequency list, as of 18 Dec 2019:

For Southern Johor area, as Mux 2 moves from 698Mhz to 650Mhz (as shown on updated frequency list); it shall no longer interfering with Indonesia's SCTV. Sounds beneficial to both countries.
But when Mux 2 uses 650MHz, it will cause interference to another Indonesia's analogue TV station, RCTI (647.25MHz).
Solve one problem, then create one new problem. And MYTV still decides to go on for now.

There's no date on when would restacking works would happen for areas other than Langkawi, so things might change in the future...
When that happens, let's see the JB viewer's response whether the RCTI's analogue signals would be strong enough to disrupt Malaysia DTT's Mux 2 signals or not.

Anyhow, just hope that the restacking works would improve the overall DTT coverage and reliability for Langkawi.
If you're not in Langkawi, then just wait la.

Any news on Indonesian analog switch off?

Full ASO is expected to be completed in 2023.

Langkawi has the geography that suits 700 MHz 5G, so likely to be the test network. Restacking TV makes the trial possible

Hmmm... Good for them

From what I see, only the Mux 2's frequency are affected. Mux 1 remain the same.

Do you think this 2 frequencies, 666MHz and 650MHz, will remain as it is for Langkawi for another few years maybe, without the risk of another frequency retune/restacking exercise being carried out?
What do you think?

A lot depends on what happens to TV Channels - especially will Media Prima survive the next few years in competition with streaming?

Whether that company can survive or not, you got to see who's the stakeholders in the company.

From what I see, although Media Prima is financially struggling, as long the stakeholders has shares in the company, it's very unlikely they'll go bankrupt.

The most you'll see, is just more CJ Wow Shop.

wonder how many frying pans they sell?

Given the multiplex rental costs, it is an expensive marketing method for frying pans

Frying pans 😂😂😂😂😂
That's why they still need a 24 hour CJ Wow Shop channels, sell as much frying pans as possible, then only can survive.

If still not enough, then they have to retrench more of their staffs already lo...

Looks like RTM has hard-coded subs for those with DVB-S2 decoder.

Anyone using the given free MyFreeview decoder (forgot its model name)?
Any particular reason to connect to the Wifi?

1. It never use the internet to sync time.
2. Hbbtv probably not support for free / standard decoder version.
3. What kind of ancient Wifi protocol is using? The input password not even support for symbol characters (eg @).

MYTV basic decoder doesn't support connecting to wifi/HBBtv feature

MYTV advance decoder has support for HBBtv(it should be free if not mistaken), I don't think it supports wifi though.... maybe joshHD can verify
