You'll need antenna RTM1
Fri, Jun 11, 2010
The Straits Times


BAD news for fans in Singapore trying to tune in to World Cup telecasts from Malaysia - the signal will be scrambled.

Yesterday, StarHub said that Radio Television Malaysia's (RTM) channel TV1, (which is Channel 118 on StarHub TV) has received instructions from the World Cup's broadcast rights holder Fifa to encrypt its satellite signal source so that only viewers in Malaysia are able to receive access to the matches on TV1.

But viewers in Singapore will still be able to tune in to TV1 or signals from Indonesian channel RCTI, which will show all 64 matches free to air, by buying a 'rabbit ear' antenna from electronics shops. These antennas cost between $18 and $30.

The suck time is trying to confuse you by saying it is encrpyted.

No such thing, otherwise the m&d Citizen living in the kampung under the attap houses won't be able to watch it.

What is fact, is that star hub will scramble the signal it received from TV1 and feed into it's own cable network.

Essentially, the free to air signal is not affected. Period. And don't be a sucker.

What a arrogant cock this StarHub is .

They will rather poison the well than letting people have free water .

Just like they will rather spend resource to encrypt it than
let others have it for free or make less money in the name of making more money .

I wonder if people remember that HDB estates used to have communal antennas, you could get free Malaysian channels. When the cable monopoly StarHub was started they took down these aerials forcing people to rely only on StarHub.

The only M'sian channel they offer is TV1. It's got alot of community programming, boring malay talk shows, Koran reading,,.... Stuff that no one in Spore would be interested in. Thats why its one of the free channels offered by StarHub.

You don't understand.

With radio waves, there is nothing FIFA can do once it licences to RTM. But when RTM licences Starhub to carry its signal over Starhub's cables, RTM is forced to prevent Starhub from broadcasting it. I am sure it's also going to happen to Indonesian channel.

That is why Starhub had to stop carrying TV2 and TV3 (which it used to charge money for) - because the people granting the rights ordered TV2 and TV3 to stop letting Starhub carry it.

You speak with your foot in your mouth and have no understanding about broadcasting rights.

Go and check why TV3 stopped licensing to Starhub even though both TV3 and Starhub were making money.

If I am a living in HDB. And did not subscribe with StarHub and am happy with the normal TV point. Why don't StarHub leave the free to air antenna alone instead of taking it down and tell me about Jesus.

Should I give a hoot to what is between StarHub and RTM?

They or starhub cannot sramble the signal if you use your own antenna/receiver. Don't use the HDB/Starhub socket will be fine. Those live near south or facing Batam should get good signal from Indon. And those live in North facing Johor should get good signal from Malaysia.
Don't use HDB/Starhub socket use own private antenna cost only few $ to $30 with booster. Those antenna can get it in neighbourhood hardware shop/electric shop. If don't know how to use, the saleman will be happy to show you.
After install just need to tune the TV/frequency. Just like when you buy new TV set. I have been using it for few year without any problem.

Starhub didn't take those points down. Your town council just stopped installing/repairing them because they cost a lot to maintain and Starhub is offering the Singapore free-to-air channels for free.
