How to set up MYTV with built-in DTTV

Here’s how to set up MYTV with built-in DTTV. Some people may call it Digital Television (DTV) or some may call it Digital Terrestrial Television (DTTV). Both are actually the same thing and have the same function.

If you’ve recently bought a new TV set, it is most likely the TV set has an integrated Digital Television (iDTV) that comes with a digital TV tuner. Usually, this TV set will have the DTTV label approved by SIRIM.

This means you don’t have to buy the decoder to watch myFreeview or MYTV. Basically, there are two options to receive Digital Terrestrial Television (DTTV) on your television:

• Using an old TV set: as long as it has an HDMI/AV input that can be connected to the MYTV decoder with Type DVB-T2 receiver. Read how to set up MYTV decoder Basic and Advance or
