Yes, you need to force it to mode 6, if you want to use it with ISDB-T. It works fine with ISDB-T, provided that you use a good antenna. Here, I need to use a "Sagna Baby" antenna, that gives me an additional gain of 18 dB, and put it on my window. Notice that sms1140 only works with 1seg/3seg. Abraços, Mauro
