How to get HD5?


The Beijing Olympics' just around the corner. With 2 more days to go, wouldn't you want to catch all the action in full HD? Mediacorp's HD 5's airing the olympic games in FULL HD! Don't miss out the action. Get HD 5 today!

How to get HD5?
HD5 is broadcasted over the air, however, you need a
  • TV antenna to pick up the signal
  • HD DVB-T MPEG-4 AVC set-top box (STB) to decode the HD signals and
  • HD-ready TV or integrated HDTV set, i.e DVB-T MPEG-4 AVC STB is built-in the HDTV set) to display HD5
Also, you can get Singtel's Mio TV plan and watch HD5 for free. I had my Mio TV trial the previous time. HD5 just worked better with clearer pictures and audio quality even on a normal non-hd tv set.(With Mio Set-top box connected by component video cables)Of course, it will work even better with a HD-enabled TV.

Just like Singtel's Mio TV, the Starhub cable TV includes HD5 too. Starhub started providing HD services just recently on 28th July just ready for the Olympic games. Sign up for Starhub cable TV and you will get HD5 right on your TV.

MediaCorp’s HD5 is provided free to all who owns an HD DVB-T MPEG-4 AVC digital receiver. No fee is required.
