I have a 4mb streamyx and it keeps buffering (using wireless) should i go for wired or wireless? Is there a significant difference?

IPStar satellite internet

Slow because of satellite lag, but should be workable for IPTV.

Hi guys,

It seems difficult for me to set up the android tv box for streaming.
Been following the thread but not easy.

As for me, i bought HiMedia Q5 a year back. Didn't use it much because i was confused.

Now i heard there is Cloud TV. Good feedback...
How do i install it and subscribe?

Or any alternative? Tried XBMC but all the versions are not compatible after i install and open it.


Thanks in advance.

Torrents, YouTube, Showbox, Flixtor, Netflix, Hulu, USTV, American Live TV, Popcorn Time, CloudTV, DNS & VPN Services, Heavily tweaked XBMC setup which includes Navi-X, Icefilms, 1Channel, Mash-Up, SportsDevil, PseudoTV Live, Vevo, Vimeo, Ted, Yify, iStreams, etc and an m3u Playlist of Live TV channels pvr function (NTV 1 - 9, other local and international channels. Using my setup for over a year now & have forgotten about ASTRO or Hypptv services. Rather use the money to buy faster unifi download speeds. Rooted Android ftw!!

agree..! i dun even utilize my androids half the way u use it. just xbmc, cloudtv, in-house movies/tv apps and browser - that's enough to forget astro, put hypptvbox in the drawer!

the box u have is a little old but can still do much. u just need to spend some time reading the tips in some other threads to fix it.
cloudtv - you can find the apk and other info here:

this 3 are more than enough 4 me 2 abandoned censored FOX/HBO movies 4 good

haha you forgot 2 add in anoXmous there are some other movies YIFY never cover

What about your hardwares ?

Mine are ATV3, Roku3, Chromecast, MeLE M6 running YunOS, iPad Air (airplay), Redmi 1s (airplay/casting), PC airplay/casting.
After having ocean of contents flooding in, looking back at Astro contents is like looking back at black and white RTM 1 and 2 when I first installed Astro.

One disadvantage of having too much contents though, keep switching channels.

haha so true astro only useful 4 the HD sports which our crappy suxmyx cant stream online at all if not,,,i would have cut astro entirely 4 good

Haha, my hypptv and astro box has been gathering dust too in the drawer. I even took out the batteries in their remote controls. My setup is such that I'm able to instantly stream/download whatever media I need as long as it's available online.

I agree, I've got other add-ons I left out.. Notice the etc & please don't get me started on my radio & music addons Been a fan of yify since inception.

Rooted Minix Neo X7 hooked up to the TV.. Nexus 10 for screen mirroring, search, view ratings & review b4 playing on the big screen. Thought of getting the X8-H, but holding out for the next one or something much more powerful, besides my current setup runs perfectly and as they say "If it ain't broken? Don't fix it". Yeah, I also experience the same disadvantage of having too much content to choose from, but I always settle on 1 within a few minutes.

As HSBB penetration increases, the only reason to keep Astro is because of old folks at home or that person is super tech dummy.

Exactly, but that's where apps like CloudTV comes in, super easy to launch & select channel/media to watch. Now, if only unifi gets faster and more importantly cheaper speeds. I have a dream, a dream where VIP100 (no quota) costs RM150 per mth, I have a dream!

why only 100? it should be 1000 ma @ 1gbps.

singapore already started 1gbps since january.

1gbps for less than RM200 in Malaysia anytime soon? An elusive dream bro. How can we the customers make that happen.

I have Unify 5Mb package, is it enough to stream HD moive while recording at the same time.
I have other device use up the bandwidth at the same time, they include cctv, cloud NAS, Astro beyond TV box, play station, 1 desktop, 1 laptop and sometimes with tablets

haha so true

Actually i forgot to mention one concern. The unlimited internet data by Unifi, Streamyx, Maxis Home Fiber etc is still subject to FUP until further notice. If every one start streaming online contents, I'm sure the ISPs will surely start enforcing the FUP. My Singapore relative, he has got a very high speed internet but FUP @ 60GB per month. Can't really stream.

So, for those who already in it, enjoy it and save Astro money while you still can.

Dont give a flying FUC/P about Singapork

if all devices r in use at same time, i think there will be congestion.

no idea about cctv but one tvbox + 2 laptops/tablets shud still be ok for 5mbps.

well, try it to know. if no good, upgrade to 10mbps for another rm30 or so?very true... the roadblocks will come, in one form or another.

save while u can!!

Will it affect the ping of online game like Dota2?

this, need someone else to help you.

i am not into online games...
