Hey, im a tech noob, hope can get some help from you guys, been reading around, end still confused. My installation appointment is on 12 March 2011. Hope to get a clearer picture before they come.
1) I would like to know, does the installation provide wifi adapter? (My desktop don't have one atm)
- If yes, its free or how much they charge?
- If no, can anyone recommend me which brand/model/type to buy?
No it's not included, you'll have to purchase your own. Honestly there's not much difference between brands for such small products. Go google around.
2) If the box thing (wifi router??) is located just 4m away from my desktop, but between a wall (same floor, room behind my living), would the signal be much of a difference if using wireless?
4m is not such a big distance, even behind a wall. I'm using my PS3 and laptop in another room and still getting good signal. Chances are you'll be able to get a good signal too. However there are no guarantees as there are many different factors to take into consideration such as: Other wireless interference? Cordless/mobile phones, wireless AV adapters, other computers, your own wireless adapter, etc....
3) Referring to Q2, i read about homeplugs, would it make any significant difference if i used that for my desktop which is located in the room next to the living?
Once again this is very hard to say. Homeplugs will depend on your wiring within your house. You'll have to try in order to know. There are only 2 advantages of using a homeplug:
1. Your device is unable to detect the wireless signal due to distance/wall.
2. You transfer files between 2 computers very often. Homeplug(most) has a rated speed of 200mbps whereas wireless 802.11n has a rated speed of 300mbps. However knowing wireless, most of the time you'll only get 130mbps for wireless-n technology. b/g will be slower of course.
4) My place is new so i haven't buy my tv, any particular things i need to make sure they provide me so i can install myself when i buy one? Or its just a plug in thing.
The IPTV device has 3 main outputs (that i can remember so far). S-video, AV component, HDMI. So go figure which one works best for you.
Thanks in advance~ Replies appreciated =)

shud i? or any1 had experiences wit this?
Should you report to the police if I slap you? Haha I'm kidding but it's the same case. If you're not getting what you paid for all the sudden after doing sufficient troubleshooting such as checking for background downloads etc, go ahead and lodge a complain!This post has been edited by BlueHeng: Mar 1 2011, 02:57 PM
