I just got UNIFI installed. The modem, router and HyppTV decoder is in the hall. I am thinking of installing the HyppTV in my room. Instead of using a really long ethernet cable, is there a wireless solution?

buy another access point and link those two up
example

modem --- DIR615 ---- DIR615 --- HYPPTV

if u mean a wireless router, i have a belkin which was used for streamyx. how do i do the setting?

do i connect the belkin router to the hypptv? what then?

powerline plug..

If i am about to install the HyppTv in the hall, so the router must be there in the hall right? then i have to use LAN cable to connect to the pc in my room? cuz i dun wanna use wi-fi, prefer to use LAN cable..

sorry im new to this unifi..still waiting for installation.

yeah, aztech has that powerline plug. i saw it when i went and complain about the DIR-615 device.

hmm ? sorry tumpang...
my modem are placed and line will do at second floor...
does it means i have to drag the network cable from second to ground floor?
the tv thing cannot use wireless?


thanks

do i need two powerline plugs? one for the iptv the other for the BTU?

may i "tumpang" here as well

My modem and routers are all on the 1st floor and my TV is on the living room ground floor is there a cheaper way to connect the HyppTV set to the first floor?

will it be cheaper to get:

a) a very long ethernet cable or
b) buy a router and link it up to my other routher (as per sekinnie's recommendation)
c) buy power line plug (i'll need 2 right? 1 each for upstairs and downstairs)

please

can you explain further how to do this? i have a spare dir-600 that i am not using. is it possible to set it up as an AP? thanks.

Wireless router bridging isn't a good option for IPTV because :

1) It's hard to debug issues with the bridge unless you really know what you're doing (what if your bridge is intermittently going up/down, doesn't forward IGMP requests/replies, doesn't forward multicast streams, etc.)

2) You need a separate pair of wifi routers to do it (one connected to the VLAN600 port on your RG or BTU and another connected to the IPTV STB)

3) IPTV is very sensitive to jitter and there's a high chance it will screw up your video quality

Would recommend homeplugs or a long ethernet cable as a suitable option

i think in this case, option c is better.
very long ethernet cable is ok, but u need nice cable management to hide those.
wireless also ok but im thinking about the line quality, since its wireless, mybe got interence and it need to handle big bandwidth.
power line plug should be good in handling high bandwidth without using wire in this case.

just my 2 cent

I have tried using wireless repeater bridge to link up HyppTV but found that such a set up is unable to handle the required bandwidth (got only ~6 Mbps throughput). So I set up a pair of Aztech homeplugs instead. Works great!

so meaning buying 2 powerline plugs (those from Aztech) is the safest way but yet is quite costly (RM100+ each)

may I know anyone who uses HyppTV instead of Astro? Im planning to cut my subscription with Astro and use HyppTV only as my family and I rarely have time for Astro

any feedback on HyppTV?

anyone tried on TP-LINK POWER LINE TL-PA211KIT? can i use it to connect to iptv to watch hd programs?
or should i go for 500Mbps?

I'm also looking for hypptv wireless solution. I want to:

1. Transmit AV/HDMI signals wirelessly from my hypptv STB to a second TV in another room.

2. Remote control the STB from the other room.

MSB Tech had solutions, but unfortunately they are way beyond my budget:(

http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1926968/+140

Anyone have any better and cheaper alternatives?

I'm currently using a pair of homeplugs (Aztech TPLA 211) in 2 different rooms. I have to manually unplug and carry the set top box + remote to and fro between either one room, which is getting pretty tiring soon

Homplug 200Mbps is enough but you need to plug in directly to wall plug. Unifi HyppTV HD is only ~ 10Mbps.

hi i got a question about the home plug.
like most of you all, im placing my modem and router in the living hall while i wanted to watch hypptv in my upstair room. so i amlooking for aztech homeplug to use it. my question is:

1. will the home plug work if i plug it on the extension plug?
2. does the 3 phase electrical system which is common is most household now will cause a problem? or must i conenct them within the same phase of electrical system?

please enlighten me!

Yes,and I think it will depend on the model of the wireless repeater,my wireless repeater will hang after long hour of use therefore using home plug or long LAN cable is more feasible.


If your house is using 3 phase electrical system,should be any problem.

Router end: -- H X X X
TV end: -- H X X X

i was using aztech home plug with ac pass through...

Power Outlet -->Homeplug-->extension-->modem+router
Power Outlet -->Homeplug-->extension-->hypptv, tv etc

This post has been edited by console: Mar 7 2013, 11:25 AM

at the source there, which port of the router u plug your home plug to?

hypptv port ...the red one..

have u tried to run 2 hypptv at a same time?
by extension u mean is those extension electrical cable or switch to extend the ethernet?

nope...1 hypptv...dont now how to split hyptv...
xtension plug...

hi guys, about this powerline thingy... we connect 1 side to via lan.. how about the receiving side? any connection to the tv?

FYI, the latest Hypptv STB already have a build in WIFI...

Wow..so issit confirm that with this new hypptv box,I can use hypptv without using broadand cable?How to change to the New box..my contract has expired..

you can split hpptv in case you have more than one STB as long the source port is VLAN ID 600.

Example DIR-615 port no. 4 <---> 4 ports switch <----> STB 1@port 1 and STB 2@port 2.you can watch simultaneously.but if you subscribed for premium channels,only your default STB can watch that channels.

This post has been edited by Xefron: Jul 4 2013, 09:18 AM

in that case i assume the 4-port switch will not be able to share internet connection?

Meaning STB1 you can watch channel 101 and STB2 you can watch channel 102 at the same time?

correct,that 4 ports switch will not be able to share the internet,coz all are tagged with VLAN600

you can watch all the free channels simultaneously except paid channels.

Sorry, this might be a noob question, but what is a 4 port switch and where can we buy it? or can I use my default d-link as a 4 port switch? I'm using Asus RT-N13 as my main router now.

4 port switch is just a normal network switches,yup u can use your dlink as normal switch.just disable the dhcp function on your dlink.

but you only can use port 1 to 3 only if you're using factory firmware.

new hypptv stb has build in wireless adaptor.

Hi, are you confirm that now new Happytv stb come in build in wireless adaptor? because I just apply unifi last week but seem the stb are didn't have wireless.

Hi,I just call to customer service center to confirm, they said they is no wifi built in for STB right now.
are you confirm?

I am the 1st batch of trial run on streamyx 8MB with STB. YES. WIFI included.

Your STB got wifi antenna?

Can you send me your model number and photo of ur STB? I am gonna to complain them, as I just install unifi last weekend and my STB doens't have Wifi feature. Thanks a lot.

Hi Bro, do you have any feedback from TM? i planning to install unifi end of this month...wondering if able to get the wireless STB...
Many Thanks.

Please check on this post

https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...&#entry62638918

I also emailed to them to complain.. waiting for them to feedback.

amanz.my/2013/05/tm-memulakan-ujian-siaran-hypptv-melalui-streamyx/

(new model EC6106v5)

and our existing unifi old model (EC2108E)

This post has been edited by yeah016: Aug 21 2013, 05:03 PM

Guys, is it possible to have 1 Unifi line but with 2 hypptv stb, one in each room?

This already being discuss last page which is page 2 and your answer is already there
https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...post&p=61495744

Sorry... can someone show the standard setup for Unifi Modem to HyppTV and which port to connect to? cuz i mess up mine and the HyppTV is not working now...

Unifi modem (port?) --- Unifi Router DIR615 (port?) --- HYPPTV or
Unifi modem (port?) --- HYPPTV

I'm looking to replace my Unifi Router first then will check whether HyppTV STB is working or not. and then wanna set up HyppTV in my room upstairs using homeplug.

another question.. once i set up HyppTV in my room, how to connect to my PC?

thanks.

If your are using DIR 615, connect it to red port for your STB
Other replacement will be either port 1 or 4 depends on brand

if use Mikrotik RB951G-2HnD ?? any idea?

yes u can but it depends on how u wanna place the MikroTik and HyppTV.

mayb u draw a simple diagram on how u want it to be so we can advise.

Sorry guys out of topic but seeking for quick help here. Recently i've upgraded my Streamyx to 8Mbps (sorry Unifi unsupported area) together alongside with Hypptv bundled. I have taken a quick glimpse of the channel in Hyyptv but to my surprise the qualities are aweful, its like watching a clip in Youtube at 144p. Am seeking help here, is this normal or am i missed out on something? I thought these are HD? No?

Been using Hypptv for streamyx for a while and yes, the quality is awfull ! I dont think it have separate bandwith for IPTV n Internet... thats why they have to reduce the image quality...

Hi All

Can we use 2 different homeplug at the same time? 1 for Data 1 for HypTV

do we need use homeplug. cant use the wireless extender that have ethernet?

It's best to use Homeplug. The wireless signals may not be stable enough for the high bandwidth IPTV streams, especially HD channels.

Due to Internet (Data) and IPTV on 2 different VLANs, you will need 2 pairs of Homeplugs,

1) 1 pair for Internet
2) 1 pair for IPTV

Best is to get the HomePlug with AC passthrough so as not to waste an electrical socket.

i try using the wireless extender it cant even connect, or we really need to use the red lan port?

Does this mean we are able to 2 different pair the homeplug?

Red LAN is the only port set for output IPTV signal, you have to connect it.

You plug the plugs into a same extension cord to pair by pressing the button.
Do the same procedure for the next pair but make sure you remove the previous pair

If it never works then you have to use the utility to set different network name manually for you IPTV and Internet homeplug.

Thanks guys

thanks. looks like it have to use homeplug afterall

if i want to try this method how do i set it up.

thanks

can we have 2 homeplug network on the same house?

It can be configured to do so.

Yes, but make sure you do a separate pairing for the other network

how to create separate pairing i thought its just plug and play

Let's say you have the homeplug A, B, C and D.

Press pair button on A and B to let them create a network of their own.

Then press pair button on C and D for it to have a network on its own as well.

thanks a lot.
currently my homeplug is for the hypptv. so basically i can add another pair of homeplug for the internet correct?

This post has been edited by 1zR4eL: Nov 22 2013, 08:37 PM

Yes, homeplugs for the Internet and IPTV should be different pairs.

As I remember, last time TM tied the box MAC address into its HyppTV logon system. Thus even has 2 box, only one of them is entitled to logon at a time.

Does the policy now changed? And they no longer check MAC address upon the box authenication phase?

Hmm... but if I got 2 box, one from a friend that does not need it, and that friend's account is still active, hence his MAC address will still get the channel (at least the free one)?

HomePlug... cheapest and fastest way... if using single phase wiring at home. Three phase also can but slower.

Been using powerline plug for my hypptv for quite some time now..quite efficient I must say..the cheaper 200Mbps should do just fine even for HD channel..but..powerline plug are easily spoilt due to lightning in my experience.

guys, need advise here.. i bought TP-link PA215 kit.. according to inifi technician, i have to plug in the cable with port 4.. but when i plug with port 4, the utilities can't detect any homeplug at all.. anyone of you have this experience?

How about the LED indicator?
Does the home plug paired properly?

Need help here
Recently I installed Unifi at home. The installer told me that this is the first set of new hypptv box that come with wireless connection to Wifi router that he ever installed.

My STB is a distance from my TV, so my STB and Hypptv box are separated at some distance with the house.

The hypptv box works if it is LAN connected to STB. However, it does not work if just using Wireless connection to STB. The installer called back their support that the wireless connection to STB is not working still.

Anyone experience this? Could your hypptv works if it is connected to STB using wireless without LAN cable?

I bought tplink homeplug 500mbps, so far unifi hypptv HD also no lag. sound and video quality similar to physical LAN cable.

I did think bout using 200mbps but there is a fren having problem with hypptv HD channel with 200mbps homeplug, so i decide to fork out some extra money just buy the 500mbps one. rather than wasting my money.
Who knows we might got even better than HD channel later on.


Below is a photo i connect from my computer room to living room (my house single phase)

ngkf, can share photos & models of the new devices wireless hypptv box.

hi there. i have my unifi modem and router beside my pc in my room. while tv is in living room.
i want to connect router to hypptv wirelessly. for single phase house, how many homeplugs needed? is it two?

1st homeplug : connect router to 1st homeplug, then connect 1st homeplug to wall socket
2nd homeplug : connect hypptv to 2nd homeplug, then connect 2nd homeplug to wall socket

is it like this?

This post has been edited by jakuraz: Mar 27 2014, 07:31 PM

HomePlug use the "electric wiring" to transfer data.
not thru wireless one.

i see. is my setting for homeplug correct?

1st homeplug : connect router to 1st homeplug, then connect 1st homeplug to wall socket
2nd homeplug : connect hypptv to 2nd homeplug, then connect 2nd homeplug to wall socket

Oh ya, need to click the button to pair both.

Hi Bro, as you mentioned can use others 3 port to run hypptv, how does it work from the DIR-615?

guys, im just installed unifi at my home. i got those silver cube box, hyyptv huawei model,
it running with modified version of android 4.0.3 with wifi included. i tried to use wifi but failed, mybe because of the wifi not support vlan600.

i want put my hyyptv downstairs, unifi modem is at upstairs. so i think my only choice is the cable or homeplug. any1 can give me some opinion? thanks

hi all,
I am having a little bit similar situation here. But I can't use homeplug due to I have different main switch for up stairs and down stairs. my modem is at 2nd floor and my TV is at ground floor...

what option I have?

i tried using TP LINK 200mbps but sometimes laggy, just bought an Aztech 500mbps so far so good

yes it has wifi feature. But not for TV streaming... it is only for Software Update and internet browsing.

Hi all,
I just got call from Aztech ("surprise!!!!"). He refer me to this Homeplug... http://www.aztech.com/index.php/component/...w/29/1?Itemid=0

This unit is the only one able to solve 3 phase and in diffferent fus box problem.

so far this one is good and stable

tp-link wpa4230P kit

RM 255 ( u can get it cheaper in lelong )

http://www.tp-link.com/no/products/details...A4230P-KIT.html

I'm using Aztech 500mbps Homeplugs for my HyppTV and they work very well. Basically just plug n play. No probs for 4yrs plus. My house is single phase electricity.

Also tried Homeplugs at my uncle's house which is 3-phase. It didn't work there. The Homeplugs connected but throughput was too slow. I guess the socket were on different phases.

For his house, we're now testing a couple of Mikrotik routers configured as a wifi bridge. Just did it today and it's working but will need to test it for a bit for reliability. The STB is on a different floor about 40-50ft away from the router. It's a much more expensive solution than Homeplugs.

Hi all. I need advice on how to configure wireless connection for my HpyyTV IPTV. On my STB, I can turn on wifi but it can only surf the net and play store. IPTV will not work. Can anyone advice me on how to configure it to be able to stream wirelessly? My router model is RG-DLINK-WBR2300 from TM and the STB is the latest white one.
My current setup is as below:
Modem and router is upstairs where as STB is downstairs. So I have to pull a very long ethernet cable from the red color LAN port on the TM router to STB. I do not wish to use any Homeplugs.
Any advice on how to configure it is much appreciated.

If the configurations has been discuss, kindly point me to the site as i can't seem to find it.

Thank you.

can the white hypptv box that comes with unifi works with wifi connection? without using Ethernet cable to the wifi router?

I just installed unifi 30mbps. But seems like the router give bad speed for wifi connection. LAN cable comnection is no problem. Anyone have the same problem too? How to fix it?

What router TM gave you?

One black cylinder router (d-link) and a white router.

I am also using the DLink DIR850 router.
Maybe I am on Unifi Lite, my wifi speed is same as the LAN port speed.
