How come in this day and age still need antenna and have to pull it as far away as possible away from TV? It is like going backwards and I think is unsightly. On the mediacorp videos, they conveniently bring in a artificial wall to place beside the TV so as to stick the antenna onto the wall.

I think depends on the reception at your area. For mine I just bought those $5 antenna from aliexpress and placed it behind my wall mounted TV. Works fine, I stayed top floor though. Edited by Dafansu

Yep, it’s like going backwards.

Chop carrot mah, what else?  [laugh]

 

Actually, an even better antenna would be one that has a USB port for additional power boost. I bought 2 through EzBuy, now Qoo10 also have them, around $10 or so. Really boosts the signals and every channel can be received, even Malaysia and Indonesia ones. [:p] And I live at low floor unit.

Type B with USB powered amplifier. Similar to the one I bought from Ezbuy.

 

But I don't think it's the antenna that can receive Malaysia and Indonesia channels, it's probably the tuner. But the antenna makes the difference between having no image on TV, and having a clear image.

Just ordered the above for my uncle to try out... As his house got Wi-Fi, might as well make use of it and put webtv for him also.

 

Haven't come yet... So cannot review yet.

Using for more than a month already. It's good. Very small. 

 

Btw, I saw your thread on Carpal Tunnel Syndrome bro. No reply there. Did you go for operation in the end?

Thanks bro. So the wrist guard/brace help I guess? Wear it to sleep every night? Was it given by the doctor? 

 

 

 

Yes, get the webtv for him. Got movies to watch, many Stephen Chow movies and other old movies.

 

I watched Pacific Rim just the other day.
