I think I'm still getting the free printed copy of TV guide or is it they forgot to bill me or it could be I didn't notice it was billed to me as I pay by auto debit on yearly basis..

Actually, Singtel was poking fun at Starhub, where one needs to pay S$8.5o access HD channels. (Other than Mediacorp 5 which is free to view.

If u are interested, here are the pricing plans of Starhub. Still expensive compared to Astro though. Cheers.

Do remind that both Starhub & Singtel are both in Cable TV stuff, while Astro is a Satellite TV operator. Cable TV had the advantage of being weather-proof.

One shouldn't take the exchange rate into consideration when comparing the prices and cost of living between this two countries. So, Starhub is still actually cheaper compared to Astro

@ MilesAndMore & Qash-M: True.

Do post Disney XD Pixs when it's launched next week for me to gawk....

It would've been better if one got it recorded on the DVR...

Are you using your own cable or Assteruk's provided cable?
Try using a different cable (preferably also shorter cable) and see if the problem persists. If yes then try a different HDMI port on the TV and/or a different TV. If still got the problem then confirm decoder defective.But if the problem goes away on different HDMI port on the TV or on different TV, then the TV has damaged HDMI ports and you need to contact the company that made the TV for service.

If assteruk had chosen to use S-Band instead, they would've been mostly weatherproof too.

I say mostly because cable TV not necessary 100% weather proof either. If heavy monsoon rain fall at the "dish farm" (the place where the provider put up dishes to convert satellite signal into CATV/IPTV signal), the service is also cut off if the channel owner is using Ku Band to beam signal to the provider. I've actually seen HyppTV glitch up with some international channels during some heavy monsoon rain days as well.

Quick Fridge Horror realization for you Assteruk IPTV subscribers on Time BB out there. What happens to Assteruk IPTV on Time BB when Maxis launch their IPTV with Assteruk?

Singtel and Starhub got Malay subtitle or not?

The "Wi-fi" option one is good, considering it's easier to set it up. (For me)

but the question is does the pvr has a built in wifi adapter or need external wifi adapter to work?

I dont think WifI works,they hv to provide the wifi adapter or maybe sold separately later,cos nothing works now

The argument they gave is most Singaporeans understand English hence nil.

Only Sony One has a dedicated Malay feed on Starhub, obviously targettin at housewives.

Malaysia has the biggest problem on the issue of subtitles simply bcos of silly goverment education policy.

Thank you for your suggestion! I will try to use a different HDMI cable and yes, I'm using Assteruk's cable.

I would hazard a guess that my TV's HDMI ports are ok. I have 4 HDMI ports on my TV. 3 of them are connected. 1 to the Assteruk's decoder, 1 to my Bluray player and 1 to a digital media player. No other ports have displayed any problems and I have tried switching the HDMI ports for Assteruk and the issue is still there. I have also used the last HDMI port to connect to my laptop for gaming sessions and still no issues.

Anyway, I will try using another HDMI cable tonight. Luckily I have one spare one lying about. If that does not solve the issue, Assteruk's customer service is going to get a call from me.

What's the "silly goverment education policy" about ?

Is the cable shorter? I've actually seen cases where a combination of devices just cannot support long cables (more than 2 meters). The cable is okay because other devices can connect to the display with the cable, but one particular device (Mac Mini) has intermittent blackout like the problem you experienced. Swapping the cable out for a shorted one causes the problem to go away.

That's another thing. Singapore signals are fed as is (in fact, since the transmission facilities for most Asia region channels are in Singapore anyway, I'm guessing many channels on Starhub and Singtel are tapped from the source before the signal even get transmitted to satellites for distribution to the rest of Asia!). Malaysia, well, because of stupid gomen conservative policy, signal is received, decompressed, delayed and most of the time censored (depending on source), recompressed into an inferior codec at lower bitrate (a big no-no) and then retransmitted onto satellite again for assteruk, retransmitted over Internet for DETV, or relayed to Fiber for TM IPTV.
