Woah.... 👍👍👍👍
Great CNY gift to your relatives 😁😁

Hmm.. But as long you get a pretty high Strength and Quality readings, then it should be okay. 
Rain shouldn't affect the reception until it get pixelated or no signal at all...
Unless it's too low.. But based on your photos attached previously, it's unlikely to me la..

Just enjoy watching digital TV then...   

Who got problem when raining no signal? Especially channel 45 666mhz

yongtjunkitAnd, this photo of one of your TV, the LCD panel rosak and reached its end-of-life already, that's why it shows the permanently "cloudy stains".
It's commonly happen if flat screen TV is used for many many years (e.g. near 10 yrs or more).
If I would guess, this must be your "spare TV" or old TV set that was replaced when you bought new TV some time ago.

Why only when raining? If no rain no problem...

Have been a while did not on MYTV
just open non stop pop up

E024 - Short circuit

And video quality very bad, try unplug and plug in still same

What that error mean

Using indoor atenna, unplug it show no signal, plug back E024 again

Does this splitting the cable works?..and the quality of those two tv is same?..

Retune for channel 43. Channel 49 is not avaialbe anymore in klang valley i assumed

MYFREEVIEW DIGITAL TV BROADCAST TO UNDERGO FREQUENCY RESTACKING

Take note Klang Valley viewers...
You might experience sudden loss of signal from Mux 2 channels, which almost all are RTM channels like TV1, TV2, RTM Sports, etc.
Frequency restacking exercise shall commence on 11 Feb 2020 and 13 Feb 2020.


https://www.mytvbroadcasting.my/images/mytv...ualaLumpur).pdf

If you're using MYTV box, or IDTV (TV with built in DVB-T2 digital TV tuner) that supports auto channel update, it shouldn't be a thing to worry about, since it will auto update the frequency changes by itself, so u don't need to do anything.
Otherwise, just perform auto scan/search and you shall be able to retrieve the channels again, or manual search, enter the Channel 43 (650MHz).

As expected, the video bitrate still remain unchanged even after today's frequency restacking exercise.
Well, for a company like MYTV Broadcasting, I don't expect them to increase the video bitrate soon anyway.





I hope RTM would negotiate with MYTV to increase the video bitrate, cuz 2.5Mbps for a Full HD channel is seriously too low, and the compression artifacts will become obvious especially when there's a fast moving scenes. I guess because if see it from far, picture quality looks "sharp", but when there's a fast moving scenes, pixelation (lots of small boxes) appear on image due to compression artifacts of the use of video bitrate that is too low.

And if you think this is signal issue, that means you are not a technical person. 
Yes, I'm referring to those MYTV customer service agents.     

I already know EPG doesn't provide enough information guide but here I am asking whether I can get extra information guide beside relying on EPG.
Newspaper , website and etc.
Mostly wanted to know the episode listed.
Well aware of CJ programs which really too much allowing it to enter the slot.Why not just give 2-3 extra channe[U]l for them rather having it to slot into the main channel.I wonder how much CJ invest into mediaprime.Now even GO shop invade in.

I don't think build in lcd TV have HbbTV support.Maybe MYTV box may have this support. Right now , I am just looking for a episode tvguide on google search.
Until now , I don't see anyone know how to access those tvguide information.
Did you have support on HbbTV ? any extra information on certain series episodes number shows up ? rtm or mediaprime ?

I might try that tonight. Thought previously someone said need to use certain app to key in your house address and then find the pointer to gunung serapi.
How to differentiate between the advance decoder and the normal one? Mine have WiFi in settings, but never connect it to my home WiFi. Is that consider MYTV advance?

Btw just to give you a picture on what kind of works that needs to be done by the contractor.

See the "C49" sticker on that equipment? That is to indicate to the technician/contractor where that equipment is for Channel 49 - 698MHz; so that viewers can receive DTT signals for 698MHz CH49 which is Mux 2 channels that consists of RTM channels.
Because 698MHz no longer in use, so that entire particular equipment (the one with the C49 sticker on it) have to be change/replaced into another piece of same exact equipment, but has been preconfigured as 650MHz Channel 43, so that the viewers in that building (connected to centralised antenna) will be able to receive 650MHz signal from Mux 2. That equipment cannot be retuned/adjusted/reconfigure) or whatsoever (the most is just power output levels or something like that).

So after removing the equipment that is preconfigured to 698MHz, what can you do with that then?
Unless if MYTV uses back Channel 49 698MHz (which is impossible), then only you can use back. Otherwise, there's nothing you can do. Throw away, or send to recycling centre maybe?
Maybe can use it in hotel TVs where they can distribute their in-house or Astro channels through in-house DTT or cable TV to hotel room TVs. Not sure, just guess.

Now I know how nightmare it is for centralised antenna contractors where they have to go replace all of this same equipment again on every single buildings that uses centralised antenna around the region when there is a frequency retune exercise again in the future.
The above photo and information is provided by one of the centralised antenna installer that I got to know him through online.

If you are an centralised antenna contractor, and if I might provide inaccurate info, do correct me with right info. Cuz I'm still not fully familiar with centralise antenna yet, but still learning though...

"Interested to buy? Remember to choose the correct frequency channel before proceed to checkout, cuz the frequency is permanent and can't be changed."

€71.57 equals to RM328.63 as of today's currency rate. (That probably not the exact price that those centralised antenna installers/contractors get, but you roughly can get the estimate.)


Imagine if MYTV announces that Mux 1 and Mux 2 frequencies will be changed to another frequency for Klang Valley, just imagine how many apartments, condominiums, office and commercial buildings around Klang Valley area they need to go through and get the equipment replaced/changed?
Like what dannyw experiencing now, his condo management has no idea what's going on, and they give him the contractor's contact to deal with it, and eventually would get approval from building management.
Those building management persons would be like: "No one inform us about any frequency retune exercise also." Who knows they're busy with something else and don't feel like want to bother about this, since people nowadays would just watch Astro or stream shows online? 

Erm, I thought MYTV was supposed to handle those technical related stuff, DTT infrastructure and others? Or they too busy to keep advising people to buy digital TV boxes that comes with MCMC logo (cuz that would profit them more)? Why is this happening? What can they do to prevent such problem to reoccur in the future? From what I see, keep on advising the viewer to "perform Auto Search again and again until you get reception" is what they do best, and those who not familiar with DTT stuff would just follow that as what being told, or MYTV would assign an authorised installer to viewer's premise to get things done, with a fee of course, and who knows MYTV would earn some commission from there. 

If MYTV announces that they wanna retune to another frequency in the future, just imagine how much trouble experienced by the residents/viewers in the building, as well as the building management themselves, and even if "they don't mind", you got to think about the cost and time needed to get the contractor to change/replace the equipment too...

Imagine this, if 600MHz band for 4G/5G services becomes popular around Asian countries, and Malaysia wants to adopts it....
Hmmm, another nationwide frequency retune exercise + replace/retune all signal equipment used in buildings to the new frequencies? 

So what's the conclusion here? It seems to me that the best and cheapest way is to use your own indoor antenna, or a small sized outdoor antenna placed indoors/near to your TV, or just install an outdoor antenna at your balcony/window if the building management allows it. From what I see, that's the most immediate, straightforward and probably cheaper solution. But then, that is provided if the DTT signals are strong enough for the antenna to pickup within the building.

And then those who finds this complicated, they would just forget about it, and go for other platforms like Astro, or watch shows online instead.

The upcoming digital TV frequency restacking exercise will be done in selected Northern and Southern regions of Peninsular Malaysia as follows:

The only affected frequency are Mux 2, which mostly consists of RTM channels (TV1, TV2, RTM Sports,...).
Mux 1 channels (TV3, 8TV, Go Shop,...) are not affected, hence no change in frequency.

Date	Transmitter	Affected regions/states	Current Freq.	New Freq.
18 Feb 2020	Bukit Tinggi	Eastern Johor	722MHz CH52	562MHz CH32
18 Feb 2020	Gunung Jerai	Northern and Southern Perak & parts of Kedah	698MHz CH49	650MHz CH43
20 Feb 2020	Gunung Ledang	Central and Northern Johor, Melacca & Negeri Sembilan	722MHz CH52	562MHz CH32

27 Feb 2020	Gunung Kledang	Central, Eastern and Northern Perak	698MHz CH49	650MHz CH43

Time: 1.00 am - 6.00 am

The reason behind the nationwide frequency restacking exercise is to vacate frequencies that are adjacent to the 700MHz band, which will be used for 4G/5G mobile services soon (Band 28 / n28).

MYTV already made a video to inform viewers on how to perform Auto/Manual Search when you experience any interruption in viewing of channels.
Although that "PSA video" is being broadcast to all FTA channels now, I don't think every single viewers are paying much attention to that.
So the incident of "suddenly channels went no signal" will still happen to some viewers in affected regions.
But yea, those who uses MYTV box may be automatically auto update the channel frequency itself without any user intervention, but not every digital TV box or digital-ready TVs supports that.

Also, this video appears to be made only in Malay language, and only "photo posts" in Chinese and Tamil language are posted on MYTV/myFreeview social media page.
Language may be a barrier here, but don't feel like making another video in another language, at least they should consider providing English, Chinese and Tamil subtitles on the video.

For instance, this news here: https://www.nst.com.my/lifestyle/groove/202...ency-restacking
Do you think those non tech savvy persons especially those uncle and aunties would understand what does this news article even mean?
They'll probably be like: "Uh-huh, frequency restacking exercise for digital TV broadcast, uhhh, okay, so? What does it mean? Means no more digital TV can watch? Means need to pay money?"
Maybe, try show this similar news article to your family/parents/elderly, see if they understand what its trying to say.

At least they do something to inform the viewers, but in my opinion, it's just not enough attention for the mass audiences to know.

Maybe when they try to retune their decoder they would be  and probably say forget it or hire someone to do it for them or switch to NJOI, less confusion

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 

Least they announce it beforehand, unlike astroll.

Yes. Every satellites will be affected by sun outage (regardless of C band, Ku band, etc), but it usually isn't a major issue to many, since it happens for 2 seasons per year, and each time it happens for around 5-15 minutes or less, depend on various factors.

You can use the Sun Outage calculator from Asiasat website here, to get the rough estimate on when you shall expect to lose signal from Asiasat 9 satellite according to your location and other factors:
https://www.asiasat.com/technology/tools/sun-outage

Do note that the time zone shown are GMT+0, so you'll have to add 8 hours on your own, which makes it GMT+8 (Malaysia time).
For instance:

Year	Mon	Day	Time(Gmt)	Time(Gmt)	Duration(min)
2020	03	15	03:43	03:48	05

So just add 8 hours on the 03:43, so it becomes 11:43am Malaysia time. Means you shall lose satellite signal for a while as the sun outage process starts around 11:43am for that day, based on the GPS coordinates provided, and it shall ends on 11:48am, total duration of 5 minutes.
Different days may have slightly different duration, and it could last, like around 15 minutes as well.

Feel free to search it on Google if you're interested to know more about sun outage.
