Zxcvb Turbocharged June 22, 2017 Share June 22, 2017 For those with digital tv ready sets, do you all plug into any of the above and still works? I cannot imagine every individual units sticking their antennas out of the windows. Does HDB or town council enable the old rooftop antenna to receive those digital broadcast signals? ↡ Advertisement 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cannot imagine every individual units sticking their antennas out of the windows. Does HDB or town council enable the old rooftop antenna to receive those digital broadcast signals? Digital tv ready sets will need to plug into the Starhub tv point. It should work if the Starhub point are not connected to the rooftop antennas (at the service riser). The rooftop antennas are not able to receive digital signal. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airwaver 4th Gear July 20, 2017 Share July 20, 2017 How do I check if my current TV is digital ready? My understanding is that if it is digital ready, I just need to buy the antenna instead of buying both the DVB-T2 set-top box and antenna. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamesc Hypersonic July 20, 2017 Share July 20, 2017 Problem is whatever label/stickers if available was taken out after I bought the TV about 2 years ago. Bought 2 years ago? Then very high probability its T2. Unless its a 32" or brand like skyworth who gave free external T2 boxes. Anyway on the 1% chance its not T2 T2 box is only like $25 on Qoo10. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kb27 Supersonic July 20, 2017 Share July 20, 2017 It's a Samsung. Haven't check the online prices, saw it at Giant selling $100+. Thanks . According to Samsung, all tv bought after 2013 are digital tv ready http://www.samsung.com/sg/discover/television/are-you-digital-tv-ready/ So you just need an antenna. Most likely a UHF antenna. It's nothing special, you can even make a crude antenna with a wire of the right dimension to test your tv. Try the tuning menu setting to see if the "Digital Tv" setting is there. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
w7_lee 4th Gear August 28, 2017 Share August 28, 2017 I bought a Bravia and installed it yesterday (together with a USB booster antenna). I notice that the audio & visual seems to be not synchronize (less than 0.5s). It appears to me that the audio completes before the visual; like when I am watching the news, the sentence is complete but the reader's mouth is still moving. It is happening on all the FTA channels. I tried a second set of booster antenna (same brand) and moving the antenna to different location but it is still out of sync. With a DVD, it does not have this problem. Anyone had similar problem? Is it a TV, antenna or signal issue? TIA Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not test it on your relative's tv and see if the DVB-T2 tuner box has the same issue elsewhere? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Each digital stream consist of a video stream and (sometimes multiple) audio stream transmitted together. If audio stream lag or ahead of video stream, then you get lip synced problem.

w7_lee 4th Gear August 30, 2017 Share August 30, 2017 The tv is digital ready, so there is tuner box, just direct antenna into the TV. I have been monitoring the last 2 nights and the problem is gone now. So maybe it is signal problem... or could still be a problem with the TV. I am using the USB powered digital antenna. I think these are called active antenna. Apparently, even with the USB power disconnected, reception is still good. But if I disconnect the reception cable, then there is just static. So I will need at least a passive antenna. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't spend a single cent, my t.v.s just churned out all the local digital channels when I did digital channel search ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
