ASKARA – Based on Law Number 11 of 2022 concerning Job Creation and Government Regulation Number 46 of 2021, analog TV broadcasts have been gradually discontinued and then converted into digital broadcasts completely.In November 2022, the government plans to carry out Analog Switch Off (ASO) to streamline Digital TV shows throughout Indonesia.The Indonesian government through the Ministry of Communication and Information (Kemenkominfo) continues to socialize the Transition of Analog Television Broadcasts to Digital Television Broadcasts and Gradually migration to Digital TV.On April 30, 2022, the first phase of analog broadcasting was stopped in several areas, such as the Riau-4 broadcast area, West Papua-1 in Sorong City, and other areas.This condition will certainly force people to start preparing to switch to digital broadcasting, for example by using additional tools 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.Special Staff of the Minister of Communication and Information for Information and Public Communication (IKP), Dr.Rosarita Niken Widiastuti said that the public will get many benefits from the transition from analog TV broadcasts to digital TV, namely providing cleaner picture quality, clearer sound and advanced technology.For people who want to immediately enjoy digital television broadcasting, they can still use the television units and antennas that they already have, they just need to add or connect a frequency converter called STB with DVB T2 digital video broadcasting second-generation terrestrial."People don't really need to worry, analog tube-shaped TV can still be used, only adding STB, and the government will provide free STB to poor households who meet the requirements of the Ministry of Social Affairs," said Rosarita Niken Widiastuti, quoted by broadcastdigital.kominfo.go.id.The discontinued Analog Broadcast brings hope of its own.The reason is, people are bored with blurry shows full of noise.Through Digital TV, the experience of watching is more exciting with super clear picture quality.In addition, the number of channels is more and more diverse, further confirming the existence of digital formats.People are starting to switch to Digital TV independently without waiting for Analog Switch Off.However, some people have difficulty dealing with signal problems due to lack of information.This is certainly very disturbing, because you can't watch TV shows smoothly and even the TV channels are lost.As a result, viewing activities with all family members will automatically be disrupted.Digital TV no signal.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 the set top box.This is because digital TV networks must deliver clear images and sound up to a certain point on condition that they have these devices.The set top box is a broadcast signal capture device.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," he said.Quoted by indonesiabaik.id, if Digital TV has no signal, this condition is caused by several things, namely:How to Check Digital TV SignalDigital television broadcasting is carried out in stages towards the end of analog television broadcasts on November 2, 2022. Later, each region has a different schedule.In fact, the 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.This is the digital tv channel application, which can be downloaded from the Google Play Store, as a way to check the tv antenna signal at each location.TV signals and digital tv signals have different qualities in different locations.With this application, you can determine whether your location has a weak digital tv signal, poor tv signal or even lost tv signal.By installing the Digital TV Signal application, you also get detailed features about tv signals and check digital tv channels in this one application.Equipped with a map of the distribution of digital tv signal transmitters throughout Indonesia, people can check whether digital tv channels in our city are available or not from this application.This application is very suitable to use before deciding to buy a DVB-T2 or STB DVB-T2 TV.Suppose 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.You can avoid the risk of no signal on digital TV by understanding the determining factors.This is because this knowledge has a direct impact on the number of channels and viewing comfort.Here are some factors that determine the signal strength of Digital TV, quoted by sabiru.com:The most important aspect that greatly influences the strength of digital signal reception is the antenna.There are two choices of products on the market in the form of outdoor and indoor types, with various prices.Outdoor antennas certainly have the ability to capture digital signals that are more leverage.Always make sure to choose that type of antenna, even if the transmitter is close to where you live.In addition to the type, the size of the antenna also determines the intensity of the Digital TV signal you receive.The longer and more 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.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.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.It is no secret that transmitter distance has a large effect on signal strength.People who live close to the tower can simply use the indoor antenna.Here's how to solve Digital TV no signal:Bad weather such as rain and strong winds sometimes result in lost digital signals.Maybe the position of the UHF antenna shifted so that the frequency reception process failed.First, pay attention to the UHF Antenna, which may experience a fairly significant shift.If so, slowly turn the support post to return to its original position.Check the condition of the antenna cables thoroughly, they may be peeling and damaged.If that happens, just replace it with the latest component and don't forget to check the connector.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.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.Different directions are also different signal capture.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.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.In contrast to TVs that already support digital broadcasting, those of you who use STB may have to understand their use 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 have very good quality so that the reception of the Digital TV signal is good.What if Digital TV broadcasts are not detected properly even though there is already a list of digital TV broadcast channels.Here's how to deal with Digital TV that doesn't have a signal.This is a common cause, often TV broadcasts seem not clearer, aka known by many ants, this is because the position of the antenna changes due to wind, bad weather and also because there are birds perched on the antenna.Not infrequently this problem occurs because the antenna cable is damaged or broken and this is what causes signal and broadcast loss.Also use a special quality antenna cable.It is no less important to check the jack connecting the antenna cable to the TV tuner, because this is one of the steps that has an important role, so that the jack is damaged, usually it has rusted which causes it to not be able to connect properly with the TV tuner.Antenna boosters can also increase television signals so that they can capture digital broadcasts.Quoted from Instagram @humas_jabar, here's how to deal with lost digital TV signals.However, before that, it is necessary to know the causes of digital TV signal loss or no signal as follows:1. It's possible that your TV antenna is not digital-only and has changed its position causing the digital TV signal to be lost2. The antenna cable is damaged, peeled or cut off due to being bitten by an animal such as a rat or it could be crushed by a tile3. The jack or connector has a problem, it may be rusted or the plug is loose4. The Set Top Box (STB) you are using may not support DVB-T2 (Digital Video Broadcasting - Second Generation Terrestrial)5. Finally, there is a malfunction in the TV tuner IC program or even the STBIf you already know the cause of your digital TV signal is lost or there is no signal, you can do the tips below.Here's how to fix a digital TV signal that's lost or no signal:1. The first tip, point or change the position of the antenna, before making sure you have used a special digital antenna, then rearrange the position of the antenna2. Check the antenna cable, if the cable is damaged you should immediately repair or replace the antenna cable connected to the STB3. Check the condition of the jack or connector, clean it immediately if the rust can still be cleaned.After that, make sure it is installed properly (not loose)4. The fourth tip, make sure the STB meets the standards, it has a DVB-T2 label and a "Digital Ready" sticker and MODI as a digital TV mascot5. Finally, replace the damaged components.Replacement components depending on the level, severity.However, if the STB is damaged, it is recommended to replace it in order to get better broadcast quality.
