SCV users..feedback required

[Foofam77]

If i install the SCV box at my living room's TV point but not in my bedroom's, would my bedroom's TV reception of free-to-air channels, in particular channel U and channelnewsasia, be blurrish?

 

anyone has such experience?

 

thanks

sud not be.. the scv box is just a code scrambler. signal clarity is based on the amplification fr the ground of ur building. if bedroom not good, can comprain, they hv to up the amplifier for u, after checking if the cable is ok.

[Friedpiggy]

so it is purely passive? By that i meant does the box respond to any interogation signals or does it send any signals out?

 

You probably already know why i asked [lipsrsealed]

Will not affect any other rooms or TV points....

 

The SCV digital box is to de-code the signal to pick up those TV channels you paid for......

[Apollo]

it's just generally a receiver lah... but the amt of signal u r taking in can b monitored fr the remote position downstation, so they do know if u hv 1 or more code scrambler

 

if u hv subscribed to their service it may b "ok" in saf rule but if u hv not, the fine i think is abt $10K

That's provided the cable point in the room is built by Starhub. I know cos i have a similar problem - my Starhub broadband can't connect. When i call them, 1st question they asked was whether the cable point is built by them...i said no, they said they can't do anything.

 

But it's fair la...not built by them cannot expect them to troubleshoot.

i have 2 scv at home....no problem for me.....

[Apollo]

as long as it is HDB, it will definitely built by SCV contractors. as long as the new condo has SCV outlet when u move-in, most likely it is also built to approved by SCV. cannot dispute one.

[Qpik]

from yr statement, ultraMega must be staying in Jiak Hong Choo

 

then he can buy a satelite dish liao & intercept simi bey gi

[Wish1719]

me using HD box in the room and Digital in the hall, no such problem.

anyway the question you asking, should not be affected.

[Apollo]

new Jiak Hong Choo also subject to AssSeeBee approval. as long as subjected means they hv responsibilities to make good signal becos they charge $$ for test & commission. it is their baby. only those olden flats like mine, no commercial bare lew, they refused to upgrade then no AssSeeBee box.

 

for some previous HDB upgrade, AssSeeBee only do 1 point. so he mebbe righto. can try to slingbox the signal though. or get the other IPTV lor. shop in middle road, dunno wat name. they also got both england and china channel. uses fone point also can.

[Ultramega]

i am referring to those extra outlets. like my place, there's only 1 built free by SCV. the other outlets in the bedrooms, some are built by SCV (not free), some are built by renovation contractor.

If you have tv point in your room then it will be okay. My room do not have tv point, even the antenna I bought does not work.

[Sony]

use those telescopic type... but try not to stick it out your window.. unless u wanted to see lightning..

 

in one of my room, i still use the free-to-air frequency.. still can get Tv3 and NTV7 from M'sia...

[Apollo]

actually is beri easy one. u just open out the outlet can see is the screened cable type Belden RG6 coaxial

 

 

or old model 2 wire type.

 

 

belden one means no problem.

[Sparks]

Hi, may I know what is the telescopic type? Any pictures?

[Apollo]

You can create as many points you like by splitting ( with SCV filter) into other points.

 

Cables you can buy at Sim Lim Sq ( 3rd lvl) shop which sells all such accessories.

 

You can connect and extend the cable used by SCV to more than 20 m, by simply fixing an adaptor to one end of the cable and attaching the other end to it.

 

Simple lah...why pay SCV so much for another point(s)?....cable cheep cheep only....and you only have to expend some labour of your own nia!
