By the end of 2017 existing analogue TV signals will stop broadcasting. For more information, check out [MediaCorp is going fully digital](http://mediacorp.sg/digitaltv). This means that you will not be able to receive any TV channel via the traditional SCV Coaxial Point. If you are a StarHub TV or SingTel mio TV subscriber, there is nothing much to do. If you are a regular user with an older television that doesn’t support DVB-T2, you need buy an UHF indoor antenna and a DVB-T2 digital set-top box and connect them to your existing TV set to watch digital TV over-the-air. If you are a regular user with a newer television that supports DVB-T2, you just need the UHF indoor antenna. As I just bought my [Samsung Series 5 55″ SUHD Smart LED TV](https://lesterchan.net/blog/2016/02/29/samsung-series-5-55-suhd-smart-led-tv-ua55js7200/), it supports DVB-T2 and I just need to buy an UHF indoor antenna. In Singapore, UHF indoor antennas are often out of stock and it is slightly more expensive than some models on Amazon. I chose the [AmazonBasics Ultra Thin Indoor TV Antenna (35 Mile Range)](http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00X4RA74A) from Amazon which is retailing for US$17.98 (S$25). It also ships to Singapore for free via the [AmazonGlobal Saver Shipping](https://lesterchan.net/blog/2013/06/10/amazon-now-ships-to-singapore-for-free-for-orders-above-usd125/) if your qualified orders are above US$125. Not forgetting, it is also made in USA. You will need a [F Jack](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F_connector) to TV adapter in order to plug it into your television RF In port.
