  i see. actually naisip ko di yun kaso ako pa lang yata nag feedback ng ganitong issue dito sa thread so far.
  hoping others can chime in, especially sa mga hindi naka encounter ng similar experience. :)

  For TVplus users in Luzon na nakararanas ng pagkaantala sa panonood, mag-channel scan sa pamamagitan ng pagpindot ng SCAN or MAIL button sa TVplus remote.
  
  Para sa mga TVplus users na hindi nakita 'yung alert kanina. Hehe.

  @jildine:
  master yung youtube video guide ng stealth hawk sa website mo, iba po yata na variation yun ginawa sa video. pero yung sample pics at dimension (sept 10, 2010) tama naman.
  baka lang ma-confuse po yung ibang gagawa.
  ganyan gamit ko.
  
  @law_handyman
  RCA DV1603 din unit ko.
  Yung ETC & 2ND AVE, scrambled po talaga siya pero navi-view siya dahil hindi encrypted.
  hindi katulad sa abs-cbn na naka encrypt/lock
  
  mahina lang siguro signal strength mo kaya nawawala wala yung connection. kaya nag freeze or black screen siya. tapos may nalabas na text na scrambled.
  ganyan talaga digital tv.
  
  kung stock antenna gamit mo, turn ON mo yung antenna power sa settings page.
  then i-pwesto mo yung antenna sa labas ng bahay, higher position is better at dapat sa side ng bahay na na naka harap sa direction papuntang QC (nandun yata yung antenna nila).
  
  Kung hindi talaga makuha sa stock antenna, I recommend stealth hawk. yun gamit ko.
  no problem sa etc, 2nd ave at PTV kahit malayo ako sa QC/antipolo no problem parin.
  bacoor location ko.
  
  promote ko lang video ko sa youtube para dumami naman views ko. LOL!

  may video ako ng RCA items at demo

  biglang ayaw na mag boot ng TVPlus namin kanina mga 2PM, deads na kaya yun?
  
  guys pa-list naman ng pwede substitute kay TV+ na subok na, deads na yung TV+ namin, wala mapapanood mother ko
  
  RCA 1603 ang isang matunog dito.

• rhael on 17 May 17 @ 09:42 AM #

  ^ wala ng power? yun mga ibang nawalan ng channel re-scan lang po ninyo yung tv+ ninyo.
  
  Yung skyworth isdbt tv ko nag iba ang lahat ng channel ng abs. Tapos yung resolution niya yung screen to fit ang pangit tignan. Nagrescan ako ng tv tapos naging ok na uli, tapos bigla uli naging wide. Nagpalit na ako ng settings ng tv ganun pa rin. Pero sa ibang channel ok naman..

• law_handyman on 17 May 17 @ 09:48 AM #

  thanks ozi for the feedback. tanong ko lang regarding stealth hawk sa qc ba dapat naka harap yung flat plane ng antenna or kahit ano puwede yung orientation? will try to make one this weekend. thanks.

• ozi_zero on 17 May 17 @ 10:21 AM #

  @law_handyman
  
  Yes, yung flat plane yung ihaharap sa QC.
  Try mo din itapat medyo sa north-east direction, ok lang kahit hindi tutok directly sa QC
  Para in-between QC & Antipolo yung tutok mo. baka sakali makuha mo rin channels na located sa Antipolo gaya ng PTV.

  down ba mga exclusive channels ng ABS? black screen lang lumalabas sa cinemo, yey, dzmm, K-channel. all other channels naman sagap.

  I think someone mentioned this, but the cause of the recent problems we encountered with our TV+ units are the change of their LCN(Logical Channel Number) from the previous 11.16 to 11.31 to the current 01.01 to 01.31, seen from other receivers which utilizes this channel order than the simple program numbers used by the TV+. By the way, this LCN reassignment is actually in conflict with the INC TV UHF 49 DTV LCN which is also,(you've guessed it) 01.01 to 01.31. Don't worry though, it will not affect your reception of these two channels as their physical channel frequencies are still the same. Just rescan and you'll be back to your regular programming.
  
  Anyway, I came here to ask if you're receiving the elusive UHF 14(473.143 MHz/473143 kHz). I've been constantly receiving continous but extremely low signal reception in my location. This reading had been under my radar for the past 2 months but just too lazy to report because I feel people would simply disregard this issue when not everyone are even able to receive all the currently available channels. This came to my attention when someone on FB told that something was there. And yes, something was there.
  
  Under my direction analysis, the signal comes from(very likely) Antipolo City. It would be pretty interesting if you guys out there come out with your findings because I live in Quezon City and this anomaly can be received in my device on such far location.
  
  The test probably runs between 18-24 hours, signals are most felt during evening till early morning.
  
  I have certain theories about this test:
  
  1. Government's increased funding in its media arms and frequency sequestration. (The case of obtaining 87.5 MHz for the planned "FM1" radio station and the rename of 104.3 MHz station to "FM2" plus a secret low power FM station in Manila City.)
  
  2. There is a new network that have obtained congressional franchise to own a new frequency. (The case of failed MBC 10 during early 2010's, a similar instance, but now more viable due to the nature of DTV where channel spacing will no longer be an issue. And I heard one network had already obtained their license to operate, no frequency yet though.)
  
  3. Simply just a testing ground for networks to test the effectiveness of the recently alloted channel spectrum for television use. (Historically, UHF 14-20 are not much used because this spectrum is near the land trunked radio frequency as analog TV will suffer interference with the proximity with these bands. Fortunately digital broadcasts are immune to this interference because they don't need wide buffer channel gaps to operate. CNN Philippines uses UHF 19 for its DTV simulcast.)
  
  I just want to open the discussion ahead of news. Because I feel the developments are slow and the updates becomes so rare.
  
  Thank you guys for reading. Sorry for the overly long statement.

  the change of their LCN(Logical Channel Number) from the previous 11.16 to 11.31 to the current 01.01 to 01.31,

  
  
  Kaya pala yung channel ng skyworth isdbt ko nagbago. dati 11.2 to 11.7 ang channel ni abs sa tv ko, then naging 1.2 to 1.7. Tapos ang problema pa hindi makuha ng tv+ yung channel 5 since yung 2 tv+ sa amin nakakabit sa antenna ng skyworth isdbt ko.
  
  Iniisip tuloy ng biyenan ko na sinasabotahe ko yung reception ng tv+ nila kasi saken nasasagap ang channel 5.

  good pm mga sir, pwede bang ilagay ang digital tv box sa tv tuner for pc sana?

• awakeruze on 27 May 17 @ 07:05 PM #

  ^
  There are dedicated digital TV tuners for PCs, though I have no idea if they are sold locally.

• lliwoj on 27 May 17 @ 07:10 PM #

  ^so hindi po pwede gamitin halimbawa yung tv tuners na may rca connector para sa digital tv box?
