Perlis has only 1 transmitter site currently, it is located in Padang Pauh, the tower is owned by Radio Televisyen Malaysia (RTM) where RTM broadcasts Perlis FM 102.9MHz, TV1 and TV2 currently. Padang Pauh is located beside Klinik Kesihatan Padang Pauh, the tower location is also the broadcasting office of RTM Perlis where also Perlis FM studio.
Another new transmitting site in Perlis is TM Kangar, located beside Masjid Tuanku Syed Putra Jamalullail.
Here are the coverage between Padang Pauh and TM Kangar (testing based on FM radio)
Based on coverage between Padang Pauh and TM Kangar, both of them are almost same, just different of tower owner. So, of course the transmission fees between both towers are different. Hmmm.. It makes me hard to make judgement.
At the same time, I perform my personal research of MYTV DVB-T2 in Perlis. The frequency UHF 546MHz is just only my tested parameter (subject to be changed).
Over October 2018, few MYTV DVB-T2 transmission sites were taken down due to a payment dispute between MYTV and Telekom Malaysia (TM), but this controversy was highly concerned by Malaysia Communications Multimedia Commission (MCMC). In my opinion, for Perlis site, because of this dispute with TM over transmission fees, this issue can affect MYTV to expand in Perlis by putting transmitter in TM Kangar if MYTV does not choose Padang Pauh as transmission location for Perlis.
I do hope the payment dispute between MYTV and TM issue will be solved immediately, they shall put digital terrestrial television viewers at the first priority.
Talk back about the transmission sites in Perlis that I mention for MYTV, between Padang Pauh and TM Kangar, due to same transmission coverage of these two towers, I cannot judge both of them that which tower has better and wider coverage, so MYTV needs to make decision to use which transmitter site to cover Perlis for DTTV services.
