Hmm, so at least VHF antenna is not totally useless, isn't it? For those that live very close to transmitter can just reuse back the antenna.

I use mine for FM radio.

Use back the big bulky VHF antenna to receive FM radio?  shocking.gif You connect that to your AV system or something?
Why..? Why not use some simple whip antenna or something? Just 1 long stick to get the job done?
Or you do that for the sake of reusing the antenna?

whip antenna is useless in my house. i don't live near the town or radio/tv tower. even phone cellular strength is crappy in my house.
nothing beats outdoor antenna tongue.gif

Okay... So what FM radio device did you use to connect your VHF antenna? Some audio amps or something?
Can take pic, of the antenna, cable, and the audio amp...
I'm kinda curious though...
Cuz I hardly see, or even never seen those who use TV antenna (VHF) to connect to a FM radio instead of TV.  blink.gif

Connected to my Denon AVR.
How is connecting outdoor antenna to a FM radio be a weird sight? In my grandma's house in rural area, even outdoor uhf/vhf antenna is useless. Need to use satellite.

When watching tv broadcast example like tv2, the picture received on my tv is in hd, but it gets freeze while watching, occurring from time to time...

I'm using the outdoor antenna installed near the roof, the signal received on my tv shows 100%, does it likely consider normal on the picture freezing?

Any rule of thumb how high it should be. My distance from the transmission tower is 80km. What kind of booster work?

This one really effective and powerful? Looks like this booster not so strong, and meant for indoor antenna only...
Can use for outdoor antenna too?

Yes. Effective for my outdoor antenna.

If connect this amplifier to the antenna, and if you don't connect the USB to a powered USB port, the reception/signal strength reading will become 0%?
Or it will be the same reading as before connecting amplifier?  hmm.gif
*
0% as if there's an internal relay

normal when the antenna is wet and you don't have the best signal reception

https://www.mytvbroadcasting.my/pdf/lists-of-frequency.pdf

KL bukit besi (20 dec 2019) > 1st signal = UHF45 666MHz , 2nd signal = UHF43 650MHz
KL tower (27 dec 2019) > 1st signal = UHF45 666MHz , 2nd signal = UHF43 650MHz

DTT service retuning is not yet done in any transmitters. 698MHz will still work as usual until the announced retune date. An announcement will be done by MYTV in the future regarding the DTT retune process.

What do you mean not yet done?

Is there anyone here who install outdoor antenna at the top of the roof of a 2/3 story building and have the in-wall RG6 cable pulled all the way to the ground floor tv? Is there a need for amplifier to boost the signal?
I've tried it on a new 2-story house and I find there is much loss of signal.
An electrical installer told me it is common and a booster is a must. Is this true?

That RG-6 cable, is it newly installed? Do you use any cable splitter in between the cable connection from rooftop to the ground floor?
As long the cable is not too long (around 20 metres maybe), it's unlikely you would notice any signal loss. From rooftop to ground floor, around 20 metres, it depends on how you wire your cable.
Show us a pic of your outdoor antenna.

You said, new 2-story house.... How certain are you that the concealed cabling are RG-6 type, and not the 3C-2V or 5C-2V or others?  hmm.gif

*
New house, therefore new wiring. It is RG6.
Splitter no, splice yes. And also the triplexer (TV,FM,SAT) point at ground floor.
I think the length reaches 20m. 15m at least.

Which area and state you're in?
And how's the signal reception first?
*
Kanowit, Sibu area.
If I use a short cable (5m), signal is ok, approx 70%. If I use in-house wiring, signal drop to nothing.

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