hmm.. i received my 2nd bill on the next month of first bill.  I though first month covered 2 months payment?

Anyone can confirmed?

Just registered Unifi This afternoon at Cyberjaya TMpoint... i thought i'm insane to arrange Installation date on 30th october 2010, but a person beside me arrange installation on his VIP10 on 4th January 2011...  it's a uncle... that says his house still under renovation.. only can "Siap" at that time... i was Sooo Shocked.. that he really do that.. >.<

now i have 1043ND... so any configurations needed to be done on the router on Unifi Settings?

tq~

Streamyx and Unifi is always paid a month in advance.

i'm thinking of unsubscribing my astro and using the money to upgrade to the vip 10 package from vip5 currently.

to my understanding i will still get the basic iptv channels right? i'll just need to shell out for vod or additional channels (like universal which i'm loving right now).

well i think you should keep Astro for now becoz there still not many interesting channel in IPTV..not even football/sports channel..

paid month in advanced as in the next month you don't have to pay right?  so if you paid 2 months bill, then you shouldn't be billed on the next month right?

My first bill is 2 months bill.

Joeaggas,

I am using Mikrotik RB750G with successful connection. You'll need to do this:

1) remove any bridge you have right now (so it won't interfere with what you are going to start with). Bridge will be needed later for IPTV setup, but get on with your PPPoE first.

2) Setup vlan with ID 500 (under interface->vlan) and attach it to Ethernet1 (assuming you are using Ethernet1 to connect to the BTU). So under winbox you'll see
    Ether1
        +-- vlan1.500

3) Create a PPPoE interface and have it attached to the vlan ID 500 that you've created above. Ensure that the Enable service tag is unchecked.
4) Immediately, you'll see it get connected.
5) ensure you create a NAT to masq the srcnat.

i am working out a longer set of instructions to get the pppoe + iptv setup for RB750G. Juggling between work and this...stay tuned.

For IPTV,

1) use ether5 (my choice)
2) setup ether5 to be neither master nor slave. That means bound to "none". So this will not enable the switching function under this physical port (cos we want to bridge it)
3) setup vlan ID 600 under ether1 (yes, that wan port to btu). You probably have a vlan ID 500 under this ehter1 as well for PPPoE.
4) Create a bridge, call it bridge.iptv.
5) Put the vlan ID 600 interface created above and ether5 under this bridge->port . That mean you are bridging vlan 600 (under ether1) + ether5 physical port itself. Traffic going out via port1 will have vlan ID 600 tagged.
6) still in the bridge window, you'll see a button "bridge setup" (i think), uncheck Bridge for firwall, vlan and pppoe (yes, all 3 unchecked)
7) hook up the STB to ether5 port and power up the box. Have fun.

* as for your DHCP bit, i don't think it is the dhcp server. Disconnection here could be other stuff, check if you have mis configure any other interface with bridge. Your management port (probably ether2) should only hold dhcp and an IP address. nothing else.

i pay RM 55 for Astro which i don't really have time to watch. I don't have HBO or sports (not really a sports fan). I come home around 7 every day, and by the time me and the family finish dinner and relax it's 8pm, so we watch the news and then most likely something i downloaded LOL.

I'm happy with Universal and SyFy, and if it's just 5 points for a month of each for now...it's likely i'll wave goodbye to astro really soon.

inexpensive/free channel is what keeping me from DLing from torrent. Low bandwidth usage. Compared to Astro, Unifi TV is far inferior, if they start charging right now, it is confirm I will hop back to torrent.

They need to think carefully b4 start charging, a lot of user can hop back to torrent which will increase international backbone bandwidth usage = end up more costly to them.

I thought you can get RB750G from Landasan in Kelana Jaya?

Mr. Oreomambo,

Talking about beefing  up the router firewall rules; I used some of these;

After applying these rules, the downloading of torrent files from famous sites were a little harder, only magnet linking works fine. Anything u might want recommend to filter?
