I just wanted clarification as I stated before, as when I came out to Sydney from the UK we were also told that the Tv's would work, well yes they worked but only through the AV channel. That was the clarification I needed which wasn't asked in the original question.sundaymorningstaple wrote:hookedtothenet, once more, read our lips, or at least what we wrote.
Yes. Australian TV's will work in Singapore.![]()
If you don't believe us, why ask us?
Thanks for your reply, I will check out with Singtel and starhub!sierra2469alpha wrote:Hooked - notice you said digital plasma - so that means it will have either one or two digital tuners, as well as the usual FTA (Free to AIr) analgue). I suggest you check with Starhub and Singtel (their sites are easily found by the judicious use of Google or your search engine of choice!) and ask them what the digital tuning range is.
However, you'll more than likely end up with cable TV here - most of us do. That being the case, I will buy you 6 beers if your new TV doesn't work!

Thanks alot for your advice. Good to hear that starhub has HD channels, Foxtel have only just brought out HD IQ here and it is very expensive.sierra2469alpha wrote:Hooked - not sure on that - one of our many other peeps here should be able to answer that one. However, bear in mind, that the FTA channels here are loosley designed along the lines of one channel per main ethnic group, so as you're an English speaker, you'll really only get two channels. That's why many people, locals and expats alike, have cableTV, which is pretty affordable.
Personally, we use Stahub and have the Hubstation (HDD Recorder and decoder combined). Channel packages are very reasonable compared to Foxtel IQ, and heaps better channels also. With StarHub you can also get an HD decoder if you want (current channel selections include most of the Nat Geo programmes etc.).
On a side note that you may be interested in - the operators up here are BIG on bundling. StarHub, for example, if you bundle internet, CATV, and mobiles, we get something like an overall 17% off. Other operators offer similar packages.
Given your nickname, be prepared - internet speeds to overseas sites are not great, even on a 100mbps package that I have. That issue has been discussed at length here in these forums. Just forewarning you!
HTH, Mr.P
