Hi everyone, Can someone pm me aron's contact too? Thank you very much.

Hi apollo75, From what I know the first trip for activation is free. This is my situation on why I called them down. I tried to tune for the channel and could not get any. Therefore I called SCV up and they said that they my unit has not been activated yet and will need to send someone down to do it. Then they came down, they realise that the splitter and connectors outside are all stolen (not even connect to the rooftop antenna). Then they activate the point to my storeroom but not my mbr and hall as it has been modified. Hmm... u mentioned need a TV?? When the contractor activate my storeroom point, no TV was connected. He just use some meter thing to test.

Actually I did not intend to subscribe to their service too. Just that I am afraid later will the rooftop antenna be remove, if so how am I going to watch the normal TV channel? So then I will be paying TV license cuz I have TV at home but no channel to watch. Actually I called again yesterday and the SCV person told me that if at first I subscribe to the service when they came last friday, I would not have the problem. What they mean by that? Force me to subscribe to their services???? Then 1 problem of asking the contractor to come down again is that the same person might be here cuz the other time the person said that he is incharge of the area. Then the problem will presist. I really wonder why am I paying for the mistake when SCV is the one who told me that I can engage my own contractor to do it. If they will to tell me that I have to ask their own contractor to do it, I will cuz the price is the same.

Hi crrabb, I would assume that nobody stay in your unit before. Same as mine, my unit was built in 2001/2 and nobody stay there until I bought it end of last year. I called SCV and they said that the people will go to each unit and activate the point. If there are nobody in the unit, they will not activate the point. Since your point is already shift, why don't you try to tune your TV if you have one there? If you managed to get signal especially the SCV test page (the page with lots of color and there is a big circle in it), you are lucky, else might be like me. What I did was tried to tune to get the channel. I was not able to get any channel, that why I called SCV to check. Actually I called SCV before moving the point to check whether is the signal activated and told me is it activated. Good luck...

Hi, Thanks, will try.... hope it turns out good this time round.

Hi, Thanks for your advise. That what I wanted to tell them. As long as the signal is stronger enough, I dun find it a problem. Instead of causing so much problem. Now still waiting for SCV to call me back.

Hi zirhk3355, Do you have any advise on what I should do? Thanks in advance.

Hi Everyone, Does anyone have problem with SCV activating the TV points? Sorry for the long post. My scenario: I called SCV before and asked they whether is my area signal activated. They said it is. I asked them whether in order to add, move TV points must I asked SCV only to do it? They said we can find our own contractor to do it. After the TV points is shifted and additional points is installed, (reno almost done), I installed the TV and tried to tune the TV but I could not get any channel. Called SCV and SCV said that my unit is not activated yet. I was like huh?!?! I thought activate mean whole block activate? And they said they will need to send a guy to check and activate the points. They even told me that my unit was not activated as when SCV change the points for the block, no one is staying in the unit so the point was not activated. I was like huh?!?! the point was firstly done by SCV in the first place, u mean SCV do not trust their own skill of activating the points? Is activating the TV points so difficult? Last Friday (25/01/2008), took leave and waited for the SCV guy to come down. He came and told me that he cannot activate the points as the splitter and connector outside the house was stolen. Then told me I can either call HDB to come and do it and wait and then arrange another day for SCV to come down or can let him do it at a fees, splitter $20+, each connector $0.50. I was like huh?!?! U think I am really that free to keep taking leave? But I called HDB and HDB send their guy immediately. Next he checked on my points, and he said cannot, want to see the original points (which is inside the false wall). He said must knock the wall to see the points. I was like huh?!?!? knock the wall? then it would be very troublesome for me. My reno is already almost completed left the mirror. Then he said something about my splitter in the house. He said although HDB has approved it but SCV has not. I was like huh?!?!? HDB approve but not SCV??!?!? Wat is this? While HDB guy was fixing the connector, I heard the HDB guy asked the SCV guy, want to connect? The SCV guy said no cuz failed. Now I know that to activate the signal is just to connect the cable connector together. The SCV guy "activated" my points in store room cuz is not modified before and connect my hall and mbr points to MATV (old roof top antenna). I can tune to normal TV program now but a bit blur. I think I heard before they are going to remove the antenna, so how am I going to watch TV then? Then he told me I cannot use SCV services like internet or cable services then. Told me either I knock the wall to let him see the connect (which might also not be approved by him, then have to pay for his service to rewire again) or pull SCV cable line into the house using their service which of cuz cost $$$. I am stuck here. I called SCV today to complain about the situation and they told me my area is already activated!!! Waiting for that guy to call me back. I want to know whether if I got the new flat and first thing is to activate the point and then if I change the points, SCV will not know. So what is the different now???? They just want us to use their own people so that they can earn $$$???? And if I know that the SCV connector outside is missing, if I did not call SCV down to check and just called HDB to replace it, then the signal will still be activated. Why is SCV making life so difficult. Anyone experiencing all this crap from SCV? Want to share? And what happen in the end?

Came upon this thread and was surprised that this problem on "no stock" is still happening after 1 year. Are you taking HTX20? I have called for reservation in Nov and until now have not get it. Called a few times, went down once and all have the same reason: "Festive Season". When called for reservation, they said is reserved and I juz need to bring warranty card + receipt to collect anytime. But when I was there, they told me no stock and gave me another reservation number. And the person over there keep saying "Festive Season". I was wondering why would we need to call for reservation in the first place and why they are telling me I could collect anytime when there is no stock??? Did they give my reserve items to another customer? Called a few times and they keep telling me "Due to Festive Season there is no stock". I was like huh?!?!?! Festive Season no need to work??? Everytime I called them, the during of wait is longer. From 1 week, 2 weeks, 2.5 weeks,..... and now mid Feb... They have to give me a more satisfaction answer. There is always Festive Season around the year, dun tell me I am only getting it in Jun - Aug??? (lesser festive season) And the person at Morris still can ask me what I want him to do. I told him straight, I want him to call samsung, get the set and bring the theatre set to me can? If not dun ask me this kind of question and give me real reason, solution and not juz use "festive season" as an excuse. I still have to work during this period of time. If samsung do not, mayb I would understand. But he told me samsung is working too. So "festive season" or not does not matter rite? Sorry for the long post.... was really angry with them...

Hi Mr Chong, Thanks for your advice.

Hi, I was there last Sunday to get a 2 tier corner rack. I wanted to get from Poh Joo which was across the street but was closed on Sunday. When I was paying at the counter, the "old" man dun seems to be interested at all (mayb cuz I juz bought the rack and nothing else) and when "passing" the payment slip to me for signature, he was looking at another direction and was even whistling... Please note he was not really passing to me as he was passing to another direction and he expect me to find a pen on the counter on my own??!?? He seems to be the boss... Strange way of doing businesses.... I thought I was the only one experiencing tis prob as I only bought 1 item in the end.

Hi Mr Chong, Please kindly advise. Thanks
