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.

In this tutorial, I will focus on using an old TV set to access myFreeview and watch all the available channels. As of writing this article, myFreeview offers access to TV1, TV2, TV3, NTV7, 8TV, TV9, TV AlHijrah, TVi, and Bernama News Channel.

Here are the initial steps to install MYTV decoder.

  1. Install the (indoor or outdoor) UHF aerial at a proper location.
  2. Connect the UHF aerial cable to ANT IN port at the back of the decoder.
  3. Plug in the HDMI/RCA cable to the port at the back of the decoder and connect to the television.

        port usb dekat mytv tu tak boleh guna untuk sambungan usb. btw semalam pihak mytv ada reply email saya;

        “Terima kasih diatas kiriman e-mail tuan / puan.

        Adalah dimaklumkan bahawa port USB berkenaan hanya boleh digunakan untuk tujuan bantuan teknikal sahaja.

        Ia tidak boleh digunakan untuk memainkan video, music atau membuka file atau sebarang perisian.

        Sila hubungi kami di talian 1 300 80 MYTV (6988) untuk maklumat lanjut.

    How to check if you antenna is pointing in the right direction?
    Is there a signal strength checker function?

    1. Barzrul Avatar

      You can use manual searching for the channel and see the Strength and Quality meter.
