DVB-T in Singapore

August 1st, 2008 peter Leave a comment Go to comments

Spent a little time getting DVB-T to working in Singapore and while I managed to pick up the FTA channels, I don’t know if any of the pay channels would work.

You can put the following snippers into $HOME/.tzap/channels.conf and symlink to it from the relevant program directories.

The following free channels work(ed) for me as of 2008-08-01 in Tiong Bahru.

Digital 5:538000000:INVERSION_AUTO:BANDWIDTH_8_MHZ:FEC_2_3:FEC_1_2:QAM_16:TRANSMISSION_MODE_8K:GUARD_INTERVAL_1_4:HIERARCHY_NONE:0:0:4
Digital 8:538000000:INVERSION_AUTO:BANDWIDTH_8_MHZ:FEC_2_3:FEC_1_2:QAM_16:TRANSMISSION_MODE_8K:GUARD_INTERVAL_1_4:HIERARCHY_NONE:0:0:2

And these are the pay channels I picked up:

    Hi u managed to get Chanels 5 and 8 on DVB-T, Does that still work now?

    I can’t seem to receive those channels. Only managed to get TV Mobile.

    Please send me a mail with the tuner that you are using also ?

    Thanks !

    hi, what hardware did you use?
    i don’t get any signal with the small mobile
    antenna with my usb dvb-t stick.
    did you have to use a roof top antenna?

    @Stephen:

    I DID use to have 5 and 8 although where I currently live, I cannot get a signal.

    @Yeesoong:

    A WinTV HVR-1200 and a “Daiyo HDTV Digital Antenna model EU1701″. As I remember it, the antenna was picked up in Sim Lim Square.
