Outside Batam, Karimun and Bintan Islands, Singapore digital terrestrial TV (DVB-T2) received in Riau province, Indonesia (Kepulauan Meranti)

In Indonesia territories, Singapore TV channels are usually available in Batam, Karimun and Bintan where are located in Riau Islands Province as they are not far from Singapore.


Surprisingly, I spotted there was an Indonesia, named Andak Harizal received Singapore TV channels in Selat Panjang, Kepulauan Meranti Regency, Riau Province, Indonesia via a Facebook community group related to Indonesia UHF DVB-T2 topics.


He received Mediacorp Channel 5 in Selat Panjang via UHF 538MHz (CH29) with longer antenna.

Singapore TV channels signal are transmitted from Bukit Batok with 120kW ERP, distance to Selat Panjang is approximately 125km.

In Selat Panjang, TVRI is the only available Indonesia local television channel. For people who watch Indonesia free-to-air commercial TV channels (example: RCTI) in that location, they have to install higher outdoor antenna by receiving signal from either Batam or Pekanbaru.

 

Alongside the TV, several Singapore radio stations are also likely available in Selat Panjang, Riau Province, Indonesia, subject no interference with local radio stations.
