Learn how to set up MYTV decoder Basic and Advance to access and enjoy myFreeview Digital Broadcast channels and services. You will need MYTV decoder (Type DVB-T2) Basic or Advance, a UHF aerial (indoor or outdoor), and an HDMI or AV cable.

Basically, there are two options to receive Digital Terrestrial Television (DTT) 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 or
• Using a new TV set: (with the DTTV label approved by SIRIM) with integrated Digital Television (iDTV) that comes with a digital TV tuner. Read how to set up MYTV with built-in DTTV.
