JAKARTA – The first phase of the cessation of analog television broadcasts or Analog Switch Off (ASO) has begun in several areas such as the Riau-4 broadcast area, and West Papua-1 in Sorong City.This condition will certainly force the public to start preparing to switch to digital broadcasting.For example, by using an additional tool in the form of a Set-Top-Box (STB) for TVs that do not yet support digital broadcasting.For people who previously only used UHF/VHF antennas and still had analog TV, now they are required to have an STB device or can use a television that has DVB-T2 embedded."People don't really need to worry, tube-shaped analog TV can still be used, only adding STB, and the government will provide free STB to poor households that meet the requirements of the Ministry of Social Affairs," said the Special Staff of the Minister of Communication and Information for Public Information and Communication (IKP), Rosarita Niken Widiastuti, quoted from broadcastdigital.kominfo.go.id.Through digital TV, the viewing experience is even more exciting because the picture quality is super clear.In addition, the number of channels is more and more diverse, further confirming the existence of digital formats.Even so, some people who have migrated to digital TV have difficulty dealing with signal problems due to lack of information.Of course this is very disturbing, because you can't watch TV shows smoothly, even the channels are lost.Secretary General of the Indonesian Private Television Association (ATVSI) Gilang Iskandar also said technical problems during digital TV migration could occur.This is because digital TV broadcasts are transmitted through frequencies."So, there is an influence from the weather, temperature to the contours of the area. From the tools and transmit power, the repeater distribution also has an effect," he said.Previously, Minister of Communications and Informatics Johnny G Plate said that the quality of digital TV shows was also influenced by STB.This is because digital TV networks must deliver clear images and sound up to a certain point on condition that they have these devices.STB is a broadcast signal capture tool.There are several types, namely DVB-T2, DVB-C, DVB-S, and DVB-IPTV.While in Indonesia using DVB-T2 to capture digital TV broadcasts."So, we work in good coordination, if there are problems in the field, they are immediately addressed. This includes monitoring the set top box, so that ASO can be carried out properly," explained the Minister of Communication and Information.Quoted from Indonesiabaik.id, if digital TV has no signal then what needs to be done: 1. Check Digital TV SignalThe public can check broadcast status per service area via [https://siarandigital.kominfo.go.id/] and check broadcast coverage on Android and IOS applications on Digital TV Signal.Digital TV signals have different qualities in each service area.With this application, you can determine if your location has a weak, bad or even missing digital TV signal.Equipped with a map of the distribution of digital TV signal transmitters throughout Indonesia, people can check whether or not digital TV channels are available in your city via the SignalTVDigital application before deciding to buy a DVB-T2 or STB DVB-T2 TV.2. Change Tuner If all methods have been done but the UHF signal is still not back to normal.Please try to replace the DVB-T2 tuner which may be damaged.The risk of no signal on digital TV can be avoided by understanding the determinants.This is because this knowledge has a direct impact on the number of channels and viewing comfort.There are several factors that affect digital TV signal strength, including the type of outdoor or indoor antenna, the size of the antenna if it is longer and a lot of aluminum certainly increases the potential gain of the UHF spectrum.Be sure to choose an outdoor antenna with a minimum size of 30 cm even if the transmitter is close.At least, choose a mini dimension for ease and practicality in the installation process.Next is the cable quality factor.Cables function to transmit signals from the UHF antenna to the television unit or set top box.Well, the quality of the antenna cable affects the smooth transmission while watching.Therefore, be sure to choose a satellite dish type or a well-known brand that has been proven.Don't let the number of channels be incomplete as a result of buying this component incorrectly.Fourth, the antenna booster factor.You need to know that digital TV signals can be sent well even from a distance.Users do not need to use additional tools in the form of a booster as long as the UHF antenna is adequate.Booster is a digital UHF signal amplifier tool for users who are out of range.This is optional and results are maximized if you use an outdoor type antenna.Fifth is the transmitter distance factor. It's no secret that the transmitter distance has a big effect on signal strength.People who live close to the tower can simply use the indoor antenna.Here's how to deal with lost digital TV signal:1. Adjust the antenna position Bad weather such as rain and strong winds sometimes cause digital signal to be lost.Maybe the position of the UHF antenna shifted so that the frequency reception process failed.Note The UHF antenna may have experienced a fairly significant shift.If so, slowly turn the support post to return to its original position.2. Check the Wiring Check the condition of the antenna cables thoroughly, maybe they are peeled and damaged.If that happens, just replace it with the latest component and don't forget to check the connector.3. Re-Scan Channels Sometimes, the provider updates the frequency so that the old signal cannot be detected.Please run the process of re-scanning Digital TV channels either through automatic or manual methods.4. Antenna Quality The first thing you should pay attention to is the quality of the antenna you are using.If you are in a location with a lot of terraced houses around you, it's a good idea to avoid using a small antenna because the signal pick-up capability is weaker.We recommend using a regular antenna that already supports digital signals because it has a greater capture power.5. Antenna Position Different directions also capture the signal.Try to rotate the antenna position to find out which direction the antenna best picks up signal.In fact, even if you spin it just a little bit the effect can be huge.Also, avoid installing the antenna near other digital antennas.Because one of the antennas may fail to catch the signal because it loses to the other antenna.6. Problem with the Jack Try checking the jack or the connector between the antenna and the STB/digital TV.If the components of this jack are damaged, whether dirty, rusted, or dented, it will cause the jack to not stick properly.As a result, the signal sent to the STB/Digital TV will not be optimal.In addition to the condition of the jack, also make sure that the antenna cable used is still in good condition without damage.7. Setting STB Unlike TVs that already support digital broadcasting, those of you who use STB may have to understand how to use it first.Refer to the manual provided for the settings to be made.Because, each brand of STB may have different settings.The antenna used must also be of very good quality so that digital TV signal reception is good.#ASO #AnalogSwitchOff #TVDigital #SiaranDigitalIndonesia #ASO2022INDONESIAN INFO.JAKARTA - The Ministry of Tourism, Arts and Culture (MOTAC) of Malaysia is targeting 900 thousand tourists to visit...INDONESIAN INFO.JAKARTA - President Jokowi is scheduled to visit Kiev and Moscow in an effort to bring about a ceasefire...INDONESIAN INFO.JAKARTA - The General Elections Commission (KPU) reminded all political parties (parpol), before getting...INDONESIAN INFO.JAKARTA - Holywings nightclub, located in the Kemang area, South Jakarta, is completely closed...INDONESIAN INFO.JAKARTA - The Gerindra Party and the Democratic Party have agreed to continue communication, after the two ...
