mean if is down, need complaint to management, if case like you say management don fix it, then need drilling for extra dish, arial, or worsen maybe some management not allow to drill, the last choice also use own internet

By right, the building management should fix it, because MATV/SMATV is also considered a common property (just like lifts, water tank, lighting along the corridor, etc).

if case like you say management don fix it, then need drilling for extra dish, arial,
It depends what is the issue first... If you're not getting any TV signals, reach out to building management and see what they say first.

According to Media Prima's recent report, TV3 has almost 50% Malay 4+ share, while 8TV has 74% Chinese 4+ share. 8TV's strength is partially because there is lack of competition on free to air space - you can imagine how much share 8TV has if it is counted standalone via total share - I can safely say another record high rating.

Even though 8TV has very high TV share, these days people aren't just watching 8TV only - people consume content via other legal and illegal streaming platforms too.

Media Prima is stated to have 58% total audience share (mainly just TV3, 8TV and TV9 - it is unlikely that NTV7 will attract any audience with current Didik TV KPM format). Media Prima do not release shares of it's rivals on their report.

TV9 also have good ratings on their "Kuasa 3 Malam" slot, with 900K audiences.

In the future, it is most likely the technology to replace existing terrestrial TV (and FM Radio). The government has already show interest on 5G broadcast.

Replace DVB-T2 with 5G Broadcast, I highly doubt so. If that day would to happen, that would likely be many decades later.

From what I see, it's likely either both DVB-T2 and 5G Broadcast to be co-existed in Malaysia, or no public 5G Broadcast service at all (similar like DAB+ digital radio, until today no news).

Since DVB-T2 is still quite new (around 10 years for the oldest part of the network), we won't see it being replaced anytime soon.

5G Broadcast is not the same as IPTV.

IPTV requires an internet connection or mobile data to stream shows, whereas 5G Broadcast operates more like traditional TV or radio.

It sends the signal directly to your phone or device without using your SIM card, WiFi, or data plan. So, you can watch live TV or receive emergency alerts, even if the internet is slow or congested.

Think of it as TV channels delivered over 5G airwaves instead of through the internet.

I think it's the right time for Media Prima to launch a Tamil TV station since everyone started disable Astro. Can catch the Indian Market like 20 years ago.

https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/5541193

By next week TVS will start telecasting old Bollywood movies (Are Tamil films are damn expensive to rent or buy?) on Saturday 9pm.

At this time, we don't even know it will replace the DVB-T2 infrastructure entirely - it is only in "test mode". Back then DVB-T was "test mode" for a very long time - until it is replaced by DVB-T2 entirely.

Although I am confident that it can replace existing DVB-T2 - just not too soon given Malaysian "efficiency", or we might just stuck to DVB-T2 indefinitely.

That 2 Tamil movies every month? Bad idea.

A talkshow on Saturday who nobody watches.

The old Malaysian Tamil series reruns in every Monday and Tuesday?

Imagine 5G Broadcast as another digital terrestrial broadcast technology, sitting alongside (and indirectly competing with) DVB-T2:

- Not Internet-based: It’s true broadcast, one-to-many, no unicast data like YouTube or Netflix.

- Runs on TV spectrum: Uses existing terrestrial broadcast bands (especially UHF 470–694 MHz). It does not share the same mobile 5G bands like 3.5GHz (n78) or 700Mhz (B28), though technically it’s based on 5G NR modulation.

DVB-T2 = best for fixed rooftop/indoor antennas, wide-area coverage, max spectral efficiency.

5G Broadcast = optimised for mobile/portable reception (phones, cars, tablets), with some trade-offs in coverage robustness and efficiency.

- Both have pros and cons respectively. They’re complementary, not direct replacements.

- Your phone/tablets must have 5G Broadcast reception hardware/software support, or else you won't be able to receive the service.
So in other words, none of all our devices support 5G Broadcast today.
