Got the TViX tuner added to my 4100 yesterday finally. However only managed to get the non-HD channels. RTM-HD channel (9) is there but no program
. Is it because my received signal is too weak (at around 77%)? |

zdan, do you get the RTM-HD channel listed? I didn't count the number of chan my TViX managed to scan but clrearly RTM-HD is captured to channel 9. When I swticthed to channel 9, RTM-HD is shown as chnnale name but with no picture. However I did get intermittent pop/click sound now and then. That's why I thought it could be my received signal is not strong enough. Does anyone else managed to watch the RTM-HD channel?? Kiding mentioned this RTM-HD channel is showing Olympics in the 1st message of this thread.

Yes, after doing some hardwork on the roof top, managed to bump up the signal to 98%-100% for RTM-HD channel (other channels always at 100%)
 . And yes, the Olympics broadcast is on RTM-HD in HD  . I believe it must be 1080i as well because seems like my TViX 4100 is having a hard time to keep up (having rather frequent stuttering/jerking/pixelation blocks). However playback on the recorded stream was much smoother with hardly any stuttering (will bring this issue over to TViX thread for help).BTW, I only managed to get 16channels (half of them are radio and only 1 HD).

Yeah, but those are all standard RTM radio channels that I hardly listen to normally. I usually listen to radio while driving (90% of time is 988).
Hah, don't talk about audio on RTM-HD. It's only MPEG1 2 chan lah, so pathetic. Anyway, I am so excited to be able to get HD video now, and will likely whine about the audio later, especially once they starting to show HD movies. BTW, did you record the opening ceremony of the Olympics? I regret like hell that I didn't get the HD tuner during the AV show last month. Didn't expect RTM to show in HD lah...  I managed to download the 720p version of the opening ceremony, but it;s the US NBC version (edited and not live version). Still trying to look for real live HD version. How is the quality broadcasted from Singapore? This post has been edited by Jack28HT: Aug 14 2008, 11:35 AM |

Olympics opening ceremony is more like an epic movie, scale wse. So I think you don't need to be a sports fan to enjoy it lor..
I will likely get the a cantonese version (in HD) next week, apparently with better commentary (more detailed explanation, history or background related).. I am currently trying to dowload another version, but in German, Spanish, French, or stadium sound only (how come they left out english!!) Hope the video quality will be excellent... otherwise will be a big waste for 26GB. |

QUOTE(levinx @ Aug 14 2008, 04:33 PM) There is only 6 SD channels from RTM currently, namely RTM1, RTM2, Muzik Aktif, Arena, Bes Aktif and RTMi plus 7 RTM radio, namely KlassicFM, MusicFM, KLFM, AiFM, TraxxFM, KlassicFM and MinnalFM. I was able to watch Olympics for the past 2 days whenever I switched on to RTM-HD channel. I found out that you need a high signal level (close to 90%) in order to get a stable RTM-HD video image, compared to only 70+% is needed for the STD channels. So for those with HD tuner, do adjust your anttena to get better reception if you can't see the RTM-HD video image. I guess this is because of the much higher bit rate for the HD stream (13-15Mb/s).All the above are on frequency 658MHz UHF channel 44. The RTM HD channel is on 674MHz UHF channel 46. my USB TV Stick can only receive SD and not HD which use H.264 coding. I can ehar stereo Olympic sound but no video. However there is not audio at all these few days. Maybe in trial only. If like the thread above said can receive 30 channels, there mean u r receiving U Mobile DVB-H also which transmitted on frequency 599MHz UHF. DVB-H and DVB-T SD both use MPEG2 coding but normal DVB-T receiver cant decode it as U Mobile signal is for handheld mobile like Nokia N77 and need authetication on U Mobile 3G network. All transmitted from KL Tower. Boosters have not be installed yet. SG DVB-T has several boosters around the island beside Bkt Timah main UHF transmission site. So there is why can easily receive Mediacorp DVB-T around island.  |

Looks like all SD channels, including Radio channls are off
. Only RTM-HD is active now. BTW my signal strenght for RTM-HD chn now drops to 80% and sometimes lower, but the rest of the channels (eventhough not active) are still at 100%. Strange.. |

All SD and Radio chan are back now. The Beijing Olympic Games closing ceremony is scheduled on RTM-HD tomorrow at 8pm. Looks like this channel is relaying the feeds meant for South Africa and Singapore because its Medal Table showed these 2 countries in addition to the top ten.

Thanks for the link but aiyah, I missed the opening ceremony again as I wanted to record it so badly. Only saw the last few minutes of fireworks when I switched on this morning.

QUOTE(confused-freaker @ Aug 25 2008, 02:39 PM) no more lu...no more hd...now change back to muzik aktif -__-.... does anyone with you have problems on their digital channel, i dunno why now it seems more difficult to get stable picture from them, suka suka get stutter anytime, unlike the hd content, very stable....so odd... Not even muzik aktif since few days back (0% signal level). The RTM-HD is no longer transmitting?? Other channels also no pics but 100% signal level. Did RTM change chan freq or taking a break? |
