Hmmm, strange. I have the old box, and consensus is that the PQ is better than assteruk beyond. On the other hand, many of HyppTV's HD channels have the bad habit of just showing upscaled SD shows (ie RTL CBS * HD and SyFy HD are regular offenders) because many shows in their library were made before there was HD standard. I noticed that Walker Texas Ranger PQ on RTL CBS is no different than SD, because the show is SD upscaled (made in the 80s). Try a confirmed HD channel like [V]HD?

As for the promos, I agree. We should be grandfathered into the new packages. The marketing people are not doing their job to retain old customers well.

What if you try to downgrade to 5Mbps, wait a few days, then upgrade back to 10Mbps using the promo?

May I ask any existing hypp TV subscribers, are the sd channels in widescreen or are they all 4:3?

Most channels are 4:3. But iirc there are some channels in Widescreen.

do the HD channels in hypptv contain dolby digital plus or ac3 audio? or is it only stereo? iinm astro has ac3 for their HD channels

Not sure. I didn't connect my HyppTV decoder to a HT set. But I suspect it's only stereo especially with the newer Android-based boxes.

hmm yeah, since android is only able to decode stereo...im connecting my tv optical to my HT system rather than the hypptv to the HT system due to space and cable length issue, or else i could have tried myself

just to update, some good news...

for 3 yrs, i paid rm199 for vip10 pm but got nothing else other than the foc channels on hypptv box.

after a month and 5 calls/reports, today... they finally granted me foc the megapack with hypptv everywhere. took them a while to understand a customer like me is annoyed when others get same vip10 with goodies foc paying only rm169 or rm179.

just tested it... hypptv box gives better video than hypptv everywhere, understandably; hypptv everywhere has many less channels incl hd ones. hypptv everywhere on androidtv is very similar to astro-on-the-go in terms of video quality and navigation - meant for handphones and tablets, ok.

after a bit more viewing on the megapack i now have, tweaking the tv, and new router, i will now say the video quality of some of the hd channels are fine. about the same as astro beyond, 1080i.

and yes, some are not really hd at source, so can't expect it to be.


btw, is there a need to change/upgrade firmware for an old box from 2011? seems all is good still...

Usually firmware upgrades for the old boxes are delivered when the box boots up. So if you have connected your box lately, the firmware would've already updated the last time it started up.

TBH tho I don't think I've seen the upgrade screen for almost a year. I suspect that they've given up on the old box now that they have a new Android-based one.

thanks, that's reassuring enough!

it's working very well, no problem. only thing i now notice it stays a lot warmer than my other devices on standby mode. probably old devices have higher standby power....?

If possible I want them op out the TV and just charge me the 5mbps line. Rm149 is just too expensive with TV I don't even switch on since 2011

Can anyone who subscribed to hypp tv pack two years ago ask to change to new hypptv box?
Does it clearly give better video results on hd programs?

Some posted this in FB and the free trial will be a month started from 1st September. HyppTV website does not give any hints yet about these new 8 channels.

Finally got Comedy Central. Been asking for that channel like, what, two years ago?

Not happy that they're wasting money on Assteruk inhouse channels tho.

The same image I am posted into HyppTV FB page been removed or hidden, must be they want do some surprise. Now if they will giving that 8 for a month free view, I wonder those will belong to which pack?

Definitely Mega Pack..

yeer, I believe so, look like what ever new products to be offer, it will be either for Mega or Hypp Flick+. TM try to push their customers to go for higher subscription.

ram, just wanna check with u...

with the old box/remote, is there a special way to change the aspect ratio when viewing some channels? tv channels are fine but some of the movie channels are stretched way too much almost like 3:1 rather than 16:9.

i tried the setup 4:3 and 16:9 options, no difference.



after a few days, i quite like some of the channels on megapack, will continue to watch.

very good to have hypptv+xbmc+other android apps. surely no need asste...

Like MTV Asia on Astro, it seems like Comedy Central Asia will be delayed by 1 hour in Malaysia.

Probably an compression fail. Which channels are these happening on? Should report it to HyppTV. Maybe request for a method to override display aspect ratio as well (I don't mind picture stretching to full screen - in fact, I prefer it to LCD persistence forming lines on my TV), but some people apparently do).

I looked into the setup aspect ratio settings. I think that only affects the menu UI, the show will always stretch to meet screen aspect ratio.

Not surprised. What you get when you vote for conservative gomen like BN >.>

Our CC will also have South Park blocked from transmission like on Assteruk IPTV and ABN... The only thing watchable on the channel is Colbert which is already going to end.
