Due to the news services occupying the slot, FTA viewers have pretty much no choice other than news service on every main channel. From what I see, they tried to provide an alternative to viewers.

If they do really want to provide a news service in the future, make sure it isn't aired during 8pm-9pm. Providing a news service needs a lot of resources, which Awesome TV don't have, unlike Media Prima.

This coming TV Osem better put a lot of youth oriented English and Chinese, Korean and Japanese shows.

Maybe they can have Korean content like K-Pop and English shows like do you guys remember that TV show "The Marvellous Hour" from the 90s?

now Awesome TV is 112 channel and now coming soon TV Osem is 113 channel

I got the info that the purpose of the 3 muxes from Singapore are actually T2-MI.
For those who don't know, one of the main purpose of T2-MI is for "easier" deploying Single Frequency Network (SFN) where it makes sure the digital TV signals along with main and repeater transmitters are in sync and transmits the exact identical DTT TV signals at the same time.

Avoid open this spoiler. You might get headache 
That picture you attached is outdated... Here's the latest and updated one:

See the ones highlighted in red? That's signal interference with 2 Indonesia's analogue TV channels, RCTI and SCTV.

About the lower CH 21, 23, 25 frequencies can be used for Malaysia DTT, it is unknown to the public as in why MYTV and/or MCMC don't want to allocate it onto those frequencies. As what i know, those frequencies are vacant now.
Btw, the allocation for radio astronomy on Channel 37 is mainly applies in the United States, Canada and Mexico.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Channel_37 

I think Asian countries didn't reserve/allocate that frequency for radio astronomy also...

Well, it is greyed out....
Most of the analogue TV broadcasts in Batam area is still up and running. Although 700MHz for mobile use is already part of their plan, but their analogue switchover process will still take years from now to complete due to many reasons and "chaos" going on in implementing DTT nationwide.

So until then, 700MHz will still be used for analogue TV, but definitely not digital TV.

According to Digital News Asia https://www.digitalnewsasia.com/deep-dive/t...nally-hits-road
Bandwidth per SD channel is 2.5Mbps while per HD channel is 4Mbps.
Hmmmm 

Then, from the date where Mux 2 is up on air, plus 3 years period... That's when the "direct nego" deal between gov and MYTV ends...

Even before the migration to MUX 2, RTM will still probably need to pay transmission fees to MYTV in order to broadcast on MUX 1.

MYTV still owns the frequency and multiplexes and are responsible for technical and transmission part. MYTV's configuration are 3 main + 1 standby multiplexes on each transmitter.

However due to cost issues and small amount of channels, only 2 of 3 multiplexes are in use. And the existing multiplexes are not full at all according to MYTV's recommended bitrate.
Both multiplexes would just barely full if MYTV is using full VBR/variable bitrate (MYTV is using VBR but the fluctuation of bitrate is so little that it is CBR/constant bitrate in practice) + recommended bitrate of 6Mbps per HD channel and 2Mbps per SD channel.

If the government doesn't lease 1 multiplex from MYTV for their own requirements, we probably won't have MUX 2 at all/MUX 2 activated well after DSO.

Malaysia Digital TV Bitrate Check
28 Aug 2020

MUX 1: 666MHz (Channel 45)


MUX 2: 650MHz (Channel 43)


Indeed, the audio bitrate for the new 4 radio channels is in Stereo 32kbps HE-AAC v2.

I suspect that the issue come from the source itself, either Media Prima side or before MYTV distribute the radio channels to viewers nationwide...
The overall audio quality of Stereo HE-AAC v2 32kbps sampling rate 48KHz that I know, the difference is like day and night compared to what you guys heard on the 4 new radio channels.
So I am very sure that something wrong somewhere with their audio settings before distributing the radio channel to viewers. 

Dear MYTV/Media Prima engineers, kindly go and check all the audio settings properly from A to Z
Honestly, MYTV just don't care.
You want more bitrate, you pay us more money, then we provide you more bitrate.
To them, bitrate = money

As you can see on the bottom right corner of the screenshots attached, bandwidth used is now about 26Mbps.
Each MYTV mux (256QAM) has a maximum bandwidth of 34Mbps. You can imagine how many HD or SD channels or radio channels remaining that they could still add, before putting MUX 3 on air.

And your area is so near to Brunei. Sure can receive Brunei digital TV channels too...

thanks a lot! Reached out to samsung, apparently they are not using the general red button, but a standalone hbbtv app instead, too bad my tv is not supported.

Speaking of TV and radio, why hasn' t the NTV7 English News page hasn' t been updated on youtube?

Want to see the previous day's 8:00PM news the next day, but there seems to be no latest news footage.

What kind of canggih?

Really frustating to contact MYTV for help regarding technical issues, feeling like not on the same page. This can be described using Cantonese slang "Chicken and Duck Talk".

The whole customer service team/technical team can be fired/sacked for incompetence as they seems to be very clueless for technical issues and don't really care. Even Lowyat forumers knows better than the technical team.

Guess what? All of the channels suddenly have EPG data as of today! Haha. Maybe someone saw the posts here and realised that their incompetence has been exposed!

Some channels like Drama Sangat doesn't have EPG... Maybe because Media Prima didn't provide the data to MYTV?  Anyhow, doesn't matter to me la.

It seems to me like, those very top management people in MYTV, they just listen it from TV speaker, they hear it like "It sounds okay to me. Where got poor audio quality? "
Not until when you ask an audiophile to come and use headphones to listen to the audio quality, then he/she will puke or vomit blood in front of MYTV top management people 

Apparently, Sarawak will publicly launch its own state TV channel, and made available to watch on Astro platform, channel 122.
https://www.theborneopost.com/2020/10/02/bu...thday-on-oct-9/
https://www.astroawani.com/berita-malaysia/...ber-2020-261903
Content are likely expected to be dedicatedly cater for local Sarawak audiences, so not everyone (especially Malaysians in Peninsular Malaysia) would enjoy watching the content in the channel.

So, only Astro? How about MYTV digital TV platform? I wonder is it because it has been forgotten, or they don't want to offer it on digital TV platform on purpose? 🤣
