World Cup: Focus on a clear signal from Malaysian channel
<!-- by line --><!-- end by line -->

I REFER to last Saturday's report, 'HDB dwellers can try RTM1 for World Cup'. I wonder why we even need to try. HDB residents have all along been able to receive the RTM1 channel either via the StarHub cable socket or the master antennae on rooftops.
The only way those of us who rely on the cable socket can be prevented from getting RTM1 clearly is when the channel's signal is tampered with, as during the last World Cup.
The explanation then was that we could not receive it clearly because of technical and contractual problems between RTM and Fifa. Well, at that time, few of us believed this was true.
I hope this time around - whether or not StarHub has the broadcast rights - the same excuse is not used to prevent those of us who are not cable subscribers from watching the game on RTM1. After all, as before, RTM1 will not show all games live.
More than 50 per cent of Johor receives Singapore TV channels and the authorities there do nothing to prevent citizens from tuning in.
Those of us who were lucky enough to receive Indonesian TV signals enjoyed the full World Cup coverage last time by SCTV (Surya Citra Televisi). I am glad that this time around, RCTI (Rajawali Citra Televisi) will show the games.
Both channels are in UHF and it should not be difficult for anyone to buy a UHF indoor antenna.
