Official news from TM :

Please be informed that both SyFY Universal and Universal Channel SD will be removed completely from our HyppTV platform with effective on 28/10/2011.

FYI, all existing customers of the channels will receive a letter to notify them all about this removal/ replacement to HD channels. We will start sending out the letter beginning today, 10/10/2011.

Hi, can anyone confirm this whether the international AAG cable thing is up?
I am still getting lousy DL speed (less than 1 MB/s) and latency (700 ms) when connecting to U.S server on a VIP 10. Hardly can play my RIFT properly. Very frustrating, but the most frustrating thing ever is when i called UNIFI and tell them about the issue especially the latency. They will ask me back, what is LATENCY !!! OMG.

the MAIN reason for me to sign up for unifi is for the syfy but now no more...how?

First you are given RM500 tax relief for internet; assuming your effective (after all reliefs and deductions) tax rate is 15%, then the tax savings works out to be RM75 per year.

Now if you have VIP5 at RM149/month = RMRM1788/year; 6% tax = RM107.30.

And why those prepaid mobile users don't have to pay 6% tax?

Why prepaid mobile user have to?

Afterall, we should ask, why do we pay 6%? I really doubt the need for us to pay 6%. Why don't they charge 6% from telco instead of end user? WHY?

No choice already...

so what do they offering now? I need my star trek fix!

yes. i agree to this..
the provider/kedai/shop/restaurant/what so ever, should pay the tax.. not 'given' to customer to pay for them..
right?

I got no comment on those restaurant but just telcos

They're making a large margin of profit from us and now want us to bear that 6%? But restaurant also la == Like mamak! Sugar rise few tenth cents, the rise the price of each Teh tarik 20 cents. Don't tell me you make 2~5 teh tarik with 1kg of sugar...

Should stop here. A bit related to politic.

The 6% is service tax, so it applies to all types of services such as phone, astro, restaurant, workshop, etc. Post paid mobile bill has 6% tax, but the govt is deferring the 6% tax on prepaid mobile services.

Telcos (like all business entity / individual) pay tax on earnings (income for individuals). The 6% is targeted at consumers. Similar to GST in Singapore (and other countries), you pay tax on goods and services purchased (with exemption on some items).

You are taxed (PCB) before you received your income, after that you are taxed when you spend your income.

this morning the IPTV seems working again, i saw the STB showing the channel number and the lan 4 port for IPTV is blinking again.

this morning unifi called me again, i think this time the technician and asked when they can come to my house to check, i told him no need and asked him to call me back again tonight for confirmation of the IPTV status when i get home.

i don't think the iptv issues linked to hardware problem, for my case lah because it went down and up again by itself.

currently universal and syfy channels have both SD and HD which is redundant really. same with fashion tv but fashion tv seems to have different program for SD and HD channels.

thx ! i tried to search for the email received from tm and all the passwords are in there.. thx bro

but mine is the old type CRT ...haiz time to change to to LED TV....darn!

you can still view the channels using CRT tv as long as you managed to connect the STB to your TV.

and yes better change to HD TV, the picture quality is crystal clear for HD channels especially luxe.tv, other HD channels have mixed sources, some shows in HD and some in SD.

If I can remember correctly, that member got BIZ at the office and VIP at home, So what he did is bring the STB unit to his office and key in his VIP user and password to get IPTV at the office. He was saying something about his home got ASTRO already.

That begs us the next conundrum. Can a VIP username and password be used in 2 different location?

i hope they will add more exciting channels.

planning to subscribe to iconcert & natgeo adventure when the free view period ended.

6% tax to tm customers is totally unfairrr!!
