Your in-house RG-6 cable wiring, do you terminate the cable properly? For me, I usually terminate it with F connector first, and then use PAL connector adapter.

Hmm, if you can get strong reception by connecting to a short cable, why not just watch digital TV by using that short cable?

Nothing is taller. Nobody here uses antenna anymore. Everyone else use astro satellite dish.

Maybe you can consider getting one
Njoi is good enough tho

Yes, I install outdoor since the signal is very poor in my urban area. Initially test with 7E antenna at indoor ground floor/porch direct plug into TV with the RG6 cable that comes with the new antenna. Totally no signal indoor. Porch has some signal if turn here and there, sometimes lost. Move to roof, intermittent signal lost few minutes every hour. Check in the new TV with built in digital tuner, signal not good.

So you get the 14e, but I got the 27E (150km) at that time. Same performance indoor ground floor or porch as the 7E. So I climb up the roof again, plug the RG6 cable that comes with it to join to the original house cable 3C-2V and route to ground floor through internal wall estimate 15m with original developer splicing (don't know where) into 1st floor master bedroom. Ground floor it is routed out to porch, then up to ceiling board and to the other side of the wall, down and indoor again, about additional 16-18 metres 3C-2V. Cause the TV is at the other end of the living room where the wall-antenna-from-developer.

Result ? Rarely signal lost. Can receive >90% signal with 60% strength probably due to the old 3C-2V cables and super long length >30m and also weak signal at my urban area.

My original booster that runs on power for the old analog antenna, will distort the digital signal. So I pull it out already. So, don't waste money on booster. Get a stronger antenna if your area has weak signal, e.g. 37E

Meanwhile, the 7E antenna, move to another house in another nearby urban area, install indoor just beside window, signal 100% no problem

Then think seriously about getting a lightning conductor installed.
I know a few people whose houses have been hit, everything electrical in the house destroyed and a rewire needed

And need proper earth-grounding.

Strange, my parent received a SMS from 63001 that they are eligible for a free decoder under B40 and requested them to fill in the B40 form at https://status.mytvbroadcasting.my/

But when I entered my parent IC number, it displayed "Maaf, anda tidak layak".........

Apa cerita ni?

Call MYTV and ask them apa cerita

That is the most expensive part of a well installed lightning protection system.
Don't waste money on the exotic air terminations aka lightning rods, they have no proven benefit over a simple rod

This one good ah?

No surge arrestor will protect your TV and decoder if the aerial gets directly struck. Your house might burn down too.

The solution is to put in a proper protection, rod, down conductor and earthing about 1m away from your antenna pole and reaching 1m higher
