Why all blaming HyppTV when it's SKMM fault for giving Assteruk power for monopoly.

In fact, not only HyppTV kena. I bet you other providers like ABN also block. Heck, even RTM themselves blocking world cup from their own online streaming, announcing that they will shut off streaming services during the matches (see their website).

Want someone to belasah, belasah the SKMM for allowing this mess.

No choice. SKMM run by corrupt people.

I think he has the old version HyppTV box. The one that has a VFD panel on the front.

They also bottled the online streaming feeds so even those using XBMC or hand phones and tablets cannot watch. Not sure if eTV and ABN also temporary lost their RTM feed...

Also, why satellite signal when Singaporeans could just use a boosted antenna to get RTM from JB?

Yeah, it is confirmed block. And so is the online streaming from RTM website.

Hmmm... funny. My uncle used to be able to get TV3 and RTM1 in SG. Lives in Eunos/Bedok area. But then I've not visited him since Suria and Okto came up.

The real loser here is the rakyat. Because of corrupt SKMM this happened.

Either that or SKMM + Assteruk forced them to, no exceptions...

The main problem is that Assteruk has a monopoly card granted by SKMM which will only expire in 2016. They can monopoly any channel they like as long as upstream agrees to their contract.

Or, you know, just install a outdoor antenna and get 1 & 2 off either RTM Digital or Analog.

I don't care about World Cup tbh. What I'm angry about right now is how assteruk's unfair practices is hurting other providers and by extension, the rakyat.

it's very sad that everyone blaming TM when the problem is in fact the corrupt SKMM and the monopoly rights that they gave assteruk...

Maybe that is indeed cheaper? For all we know assteruk could've asked for 200% what they paid for the "exclusive rights" from TM just to suck them dry. In other words, put TM in a "damn you if you do, damn you if you don't" situation.

I'm not saying that this is indeed the case, but from the looks of it, assteruk has made some very unreasonable demands to TM.

IMO, SKMM is the one who should be sued. Irresponsible for allowing monopoly tactics that can kill competition.

Free channel that I can just get on my iPad using the free NHK World app from NHK themselves >.>

I don't see the point in TM taking channels that can be gotten free elsewhere, especially since TM's feed will be delayed due to stupid SKMM censorship laws :/

They should focus on bringing in Cartoonito and Toonami to replace KidsCo instead, especially since their latest addition is made available so freely over the Internet by NHK themselves, and the Internet version turns out to be the better version. Even if they insisted on a NHK channel, they should've tried for NHK World Premium HD instead >.>

True, and IPTV has no bandwidth limitations so this actually means nothing much to TM's capabilities for other channels. My only issue is the delay caused by censorship.

Since you just got your subscription, I think everything is open for one month trial right now. So you have one month to explore, then decide whether to add platinum package or get channels ala-carte if there's shows on the channels that you like.

TM's strong point is not sports. Their strong points are [V]HD, BBC channels, SyFy, WarnerTV, and the CBS-RTL channels.

I don't use APKs because they need an Android TV box and they consume regular Internet bandwidth. HyppTV use VLAN to get it's own 20mbps so it doesn't interfere with my Internet connection.

If that's the case, why not throw out assteruk as well? Cannot watch as soon as clouds appear in the sky because they use a system that even the ITU says should not be used in tropical countries. That, and pompous and arrogant customer support. Might as well just do everything through the internet...

Oh, wait, cannot. Because too many people streaming, all internet in Malaysia become congested because of the stupid MIX (Malaysia Internet Exchange) idea coupled with censorship server. Seriously, you know it took me 5 hours to update iMovie and XCode (total 4.2GB) on my Mac Mini yesterday because of congestion? And I AM using UniFi 20. My XBMC box is off and no one else was using the internet. Average speed less than 512kbps, until 2AM when everything suddenly shot up to 20mbps proper (which I assume is because everyone stopped streaming and went to bed). Normally I don't mind. But when I have this kind of downloads... I have to lash out.

I think you can try to root the second gen decoder then Install? Iirc only second gen HyppTV decoder is based on Android, the first gen decoder is discrete decoder and doesn't use Android. No guarantees tho.

Tbh tho, I recommend building a Mini-ITX PC (ie a Steam Machine) or getting a higher end Android TV box if you want to use XBMC. Actually it's easier to use a mini PC to run XBMC compared to android box. Much more extensible (for example, combine XBMC with MythTV backend and USB tuners and use as a real PVR) and you're in full control. Don't even need to root.

There are reports saying that second generation decoder is based on Android and can be rooted. However i don't know if the decoder is supported by XBMC or if the CPU is powerful enough.

Well, HyppTV has a different set of channels. WLT is an assteruk in house channel anyway. As for HyppTV's on demand system, they also have Chinese shows and films, but it works differently from Assteruk's. Tbh most of HyppTV's Chinese content is from Taiwan instead of HK (though they have TVB8, which Assteruk threw away a long time ago).

The problem now is that assteruk has a monopoly on certain channels and shows thanks to SKMM-backed monopoly rights that will only expire in 2017.

Hmmm, odd. Should be possible. Because Maxis fiber is on NBN like UniFi and P1. Same fiber line, only different VLAN. VLAN is determined by device itself. Unless the Maxis-provided router is actively blocking access to other VLANs, I don't see why cannot.

This post has been edited by RAMChYLD: Jul 25 2014, 04:47 PM

Yes, but the thing is Maxis is just another VLAN on the same network. Ie TM is VLAN 500, Maxis iirc is VLAN 510.

I did an experiment yesterday- connected the IPTV box straight to GPON. Cannot work, but if go through TM router then can work. Meaning either that the router is doing the VLAN tagging for the port and the IPTV box has no concept of VLAN, or the service requires you to authenticate on VLAN 500 before it will work.

If it's the former then it's likely possible to fix using CFW router eg DD-WRT. If it's the latter then no way to fix.
