While some unifi staff may thank you for exploring all these possibilities, I can assure you that the ones higher up most likely do NOT appreciate this. You may want to stop sharing details of what you are doing and keep it to yourself (and maybe people you know directly) since all this is most likely a breach of the ToS.
Showing security flaws to ISPs rarely results in anything good... unless you like threats of legal action and service cancellations *cough*TIME*cough* :] |

Hi Guys,
Got a question. I am a currently using Streamyx 1Mbps package (RM99 monthly) staying at Bangsar area. The place I am staying always get struck by lightning and my equipment always got hit by it (even with Surge protector also no use) and the speed is slow most of the time. In this kind of scenario, do you think I should upgrade it to Unifi? If I do upgrade, will there still be a high chance of the equipments getting hit by lightning? I know this is a luck question, but still I am wondering what would you do in this kind of scenario. Peace |

QUOTE(surreall @ Apr 13 2010, 10:43 AM) So if you hook up a wireless router/AP to it, you can then wire your STB to that AP while having your laptop connected to it via wifi card at the same time. Your laptops wifi card will be assigned an IP address in the IPTV subnet and you will be able to just open VLC and stream the channels regardless of what the STB is doing QUOTE(biatch0 @ Apr 13 2010, 11:25 AM) While some unifi staff may thank you for exploring all these possibilities, I can assure you that the ones higher up most likely do NOT appreciate this. You may want to stop sharing details of what you are doing and keep it to yourself (and maybe people you know directly) since all this is most likely a breach of the ToS. I've discovered a lot of exploits on their network in the past and reported it to them to fix. A few threads back I mentioned a DoS attack method on their Cyberjaya 5 datacenter routers which I found last year; a bug which let me take down the RHB bank and McDonalds m'sia websites with a single click of a button or perform a MITM attack. It's better I find these bugs and report it to them than leave it open for some *other* malicious users to find and exploit. If they want to kick me off their network just because I find their bugs and report it, they're going to have an insecure network.Showing security flaws to ISPs rarely results in anything good... unless you like threats of legal action and service cancellations *cough*TIME*cough* :] QUOTE(dongster @ Apr 13 2010, 12:22 PM) Rizvanrp, the reason for the DRM is usually due to copyright protection and is normally part and parcel of the ToS a company might have with the broadcasters. Without agreeing to this, usually you would not be able to obtain the feed to broadcast. I suppose this is the reason why you think TM is 'forcing' all of us to use the STB. Then you know there are three kinds of DRM being employed.. that I know of anyway. The first is this video stream encryption. Its what prevents me from just tapping directly into the video feed. The second is Macrovision. That prevents analog devices such as a VCR from hooking up and recording streams. The third is HDCP or High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection, this prevents 'HD enabled' certified devices from copying video data using the HDMI output. I just want the first to be disabled like it was before so we have the option to use our own STBs.I'm in the IPTV sector (not for TM) so that was why I commented about the lack of DRM on the channel in the first place. This is also true for hotels that deploy IPTV VOD systems (requiring DRM). Anyway I think we're getting a bit off topic here If you've ever been online, you know that DRM does not work at all and prevents legit consumers from actually getting the most out of their service. I understand the red tape and all with applying for a channel broadcast, but seriously.. look around, literally every TV show out there is available as a SD or 720/1080p HD mkv file out there. If they can't remove this DRM, at least give us the option of having a better STB with DVR features. Regardless, at the end of the day a determined person with more time on his hands is going to take a logic analyzer to the flash memory chips and break the system open |

QUOTE(loongchai @ Mar 25 2010, 11:43 PM) TM is supposed to provide HSBB internet, but they wasted 8mbps on HyppTV. can i subscribe internet without the useless channels (and reduce monthly charges)? The 5, 10 20 Mbps is purely internet speed. IPTV is 8Mg ON TOP of the internet speed. So when you sign for VIP5, you're actually getting 5+8 Mbps pumped to your house. Furthermore, the "streams" for internet and IPTV are separate, meaning your internet surfing speed is not affected by your IPTV. I asked TM on whether we can unbundle the services and their answer is no. Their reason is UniFi is suppose to give a total digital lifestyle experience. Plus, for now (I think up to September), the IPTV services are free!! Actually their channels are not bad la, got a kids channel (important for my kids..hahaha)...I saw at my friend's house. Plus I like the VOD concept...no need to pay for channels I don't watch. Can watch whenever I like. But I think they need a sports channel. Then more people can just cancel A**ro and take up UniFi. I think the IPTV can be improved...content is important but like we know, a lot of the major channels already exclusive belong to A**ro. So maybe TM should concentrate on getting more VOD and getting it for cheap, and HD quality. |
