If you experience any disturbance in your TV reception, the problem may be due to a minor
oversight. Here's an important checklist that may help you locate the source of the problem
quickly:
Always ensure that all devices (TV, digital set-top box, VCR and DVD-R) are plugged into
your power outlet and the power is turned on.
Ensure that all cable connections are intact and tight.
Inspect all cords for wear and tear.
Check that the selected channel on your TV unit is tuned to UHF Channel 67
(838Mhz to 846Mhz).

It is very important that you do not tamper with the cable wiring in your home once StarHub's
signals are connected to your TV points. This is because you could cause signal leakage.
Signal leakage is the unwanted radiation of cable signals into the atmosphere from a
component in the cable network which is faulty or improperly installed. As some of the cable
signals carried in our cable network are on the same frequencies as those used in the air for
other communication services like those used by the police, military and other essential
services, leakage will be disruptive and is a very serious problem. If you intend to renovate
and have your home upgraded to cable ready status, or need to relocate or rewire your TV
points, please approach a COPIF approved cable contractor who is trained to do this work. If
you need help regarding signal leakage or the cabling in your home, call StarHub's Public
Hotline at 6873 2828.
IMPORTANT
Causing signal leakage is a very serious offence as it disrupts the communication services of
legitimate users. Infocomm Development Authority of Singapore (IDA) manages and polices
the airwaves. When the need arises, StarHub may have to enter your home to test for signal
leakage. The penalties for creating communication interference are severe, so be sure to
contact a qualified cable contractor.
