[quote=\"starlight1968sg\"]Unsure where to park the following and too lazy to start a new thread:

All along i thought as long as the tv has built in digital setup, it will be ok. At Courts, i was told you still need to buy an antenna.
Dh fell in love with Sony android tv and wanted to buy a 49\". I strongly opposed and finally settled on a 43\" and an antenna :moneyflies:

Antenna? Where to put it?

I thought new home development are all smart tv ready?

We made this \"discovery\" about 3 weeks ago! Our TV isn't even \"smart\", so we had to buy a set-top box (we discontinued our Starhub subscription and returned their set-top box) which came with an antenna. The antenna can be placed anywhere, indoors. We didn't want to fix it to the wall so we just stand it up on the counter near the window.[/quote]
Does it mean as long as we subscribe to either StarHub or Singtel MioTV, we do not need an external antenna?

Watched Miss Peregrine's home for peculiar children.

I have not read the book. Based on the above link, the movie content differs from the book with regards to the adventure.

The movie has a rather disturbing scene in which the villains feast on a plate of eyeballs.

I also wonder why the movie has to \"force\" an element of romance between Jacob and Emma.

Don't know about Mio, but we only had to get the antenna after we stopped our Starhub subscription.

If you only want the free to air channels, you don't need a \"smart\" TV. You can buy a set-top box with antenna (sorry, my earlier post was not accurate, the antenna comes with the set-top box) and you can watch those channels without a Satrhub etc. subscription. I can't remember why Starhub doesn't need an antenna.

Now is digital tv and salesman said must buy an antenna even with a digital tv. And now there is android tv which can detect home wifi etc

Dh use the current room antenna connect to tv n the digital box for my bedrm tv ( no cable tv network for my bedrm) works well. My hall tv is Singtel mio so no issue .
If u buy Samsung or LG , I thought u no need the android box? It is built in web os that connect to home wifi

As long as you want to receive free-to-air channels and you don't have a Starhub/Mio subscription, you will have to get the antenna.

I think the android TV is also termed \"smart\"? Ours isn't, but the android TVs are very expensive. So my husband bought another gadget which plugs into our non-smart TV to enable it to connect to our home Wifi so we can stream from the internet. So since we discontinued Starhub, we have acquired 2 new gadgets.
