Instock AGAIN!!!
Brand new. Enhance the digital / analogue signal strength.
Some voiced out that they are interested in a longer cable. 3m version with a bigger antenna now available here. Tried it at my friend's place at Punggol Drive which was not digital indoor reception ready at the time of testing and it worked. Recommended for ppl living lower than level 7 as reception might not be good. Physics.

When to pick the Advanced version over the Basic version? When u stay below 7th storey and your place is surrounded by buildings or your TV is surrounded by funiture.
Its is high gain amplifier and ideal for DVB-T2 digital terrestrial TV receiver, TV with built-in tuner or for DVB-T2 USB stick to provide extra clear view from your PC / laptop. (Make sure your area u are using it in is indoor reception ready)
NOTE that DVB-T is NOT DVB-T2. If DVB-T, good chance u only getting HD5 as only HD5 is broadcast in DVB-T signal.
Personally using it with my Philips 55PFT5509/98 LED TV with built-in tuner(only philips model above 5000series have built in digtial tuner) as shown in the pic and another LG 32LF520D in the kitchen. Just plug in(no other adapters needed) and start searching for the new digital channels and old analogue ones. Most areas are already in-door reception ready as shown in the picture below so is time to go digital. So small but effective that u can hide it from view as long it is receiving the signal. No point buying expensive digital antenna if u ask me. Easily found ch5HD, ch8HD, suriaHD, VasHD, CnaHD, chU, Test, oktoHD and Channel UHD
Specifications:
Color: Black
Gain : 5 dBi
Impedance : 50¦¸
Base Diameter : 3cm
Height : 15cm
Frequency: 170-230MHz(VHF)/470-862MHz(UHF)
Package includes:
1 * DVB-T2 Antenna
Cable is 1.2m long as u really dun have to go too far to get good signal. I just hide it behind my TV as shown in the picture below but if u are have troubles...
Do still exercise basic Antenna positioning(do it once. do it right)
-
put it in the direction of a window(as the signal comes from there. Got a feeling sticking it onto a metal surface which is magnetic like your TV or TV brackets will enhance the signal as well.)
-
higher position(for example on top of your tv to catch signal wave so that nothing can block the signal)
-
away from other electronic equipment that may introduce interference. Humans are also pretty good interference so dun stand in the direction the signal is coming from.
-
After u found all the channels, u can then try to reposition it to some hidden place which can still receive the signal for aesthetic reasons
Pls make sure your TV is DVB-T2 ready(will not work with old LCD TV or DVB-T TV of course)
Mediacorp conduct retune exercise once in awhile so u have to reinstall the channels if they do so. Not so common nowadays. Looks like that settled most of the problems.

Hi. If u have issues setting up the antenna, do let me know. I am very friendly. When u state something like "bad video quality" in the review section, I straight away know u are doing something wrong but there is no way I can help u unless u approach me due to the way the review section is structured.
If the TV logo dun show HD8 means u are doing it wrong by the way or your TV is wrong.
Just provide me with a pic of your TV model(the black label at the back of your TV and your area postal code) when u msg me and I will provide u with a favourable solution. :)
Here is a good read http://blog.rfvenue.com/active-v-passive-anntennas/ on y u dun need an active antenna. Bascially it is telling u that u just need a passive antenna with a decent length cable to catch the signal unless u need 15 metres to 30 metres worth of cable to get a signal.
PS: Pls select Smartpac mail option if u are worried about lost mails. I will not be held responsible for lost mails from now on. Address are printed with the info Qoo10 provided so no human error from my side is possible.
