I think for Streamyx the case is YMMV. Since Streamyx is based on ADSL2+/VDSL technology, the line speed is best effort instead of guaranteed. So depending on your line quality, HyppTV may look worse compared to UniFi. Also, HD channels may not be as clear because again, it's up to your line quality.

It might be depending on the decoder. I'm using the old decoder and entering 833 on the control automatically redirects to the VOD page.

Btw, HyppTV now has a iOS and Android app for watching live channels on the go. They're getting serious in competing with Assteruk!

New or old decoder? You using wireless bridge? I suspect maybe your wireless in your area not stable? Try using cable and see if got problems.

Hmmm... So streamyx users will not have shared bandwidth like Unifi. Makes sense, given that it's not possible to implement VLAN over DSL- Never heard of people stacking VLAN on top of DSL before. Still, better than needing to wait two years for the goddamn service to reach your area... If I had the option, I'd have gotten HyppTV over Streamyx first while waiting for UniFi.

Channel [V] is now available in English in Malaysia again. One of the most requested channels to bring back since assteruk dumped it Take that, Assteruk!

Although, home shopping channel... waste of channel number

Also, still no Boomerang or Toonami

Afaik, free channels will always be available, at least on UniFi. If you don't take platinum pack or paid channels, you still can access the free channels.

For that, I blame the "eat football, sleep football" mentality of most Malaysians. Seems like other sports like F1, Basketball and even boxing no longer popular.

Personally, I prefer basketball. Never liked football, especially since I suffer from the condition known as kaki bangku kronik.

Also, I blame the monopoly rights gomen give Assteruk.

Of course laa Anak tiri treatment. Assteruk can choose to block HyppTV viewers out because it's their channel and the gomen monopoly policy give them the power to, just like how gomen monopoly policy blocks other company who want to do Satellite DTV from launching. Assteruk still want to protect their business as much as they can.

Only way out of this is if TM drop assteruk and go straight for the real Supersport (Notice how Starhub's Supersport doesn't have the assteruk branding. I think that's the real Supersport). But for some reason they don't want to.

I have used the app on iPad.

My complaint is that not all channels are available, and it has a requirement of at least 512kbps to work (meaning that if I get only EDGE connection speed because the area has no 3G, I'm hosed). Aside from that, it's quite good. Hopefully TM will make other channels available.

They're owned by TM.

Which is kinda weird I think, since nothing about this on ABN's front (ABN also have KidsCo). But it seems that MioTV in Singapore already drop the channel?

You've got to be kidding me.
Warner TV = Big Bang Theory
BBC Entertainment = Doctor Who

Also:
Travel HD = Win!

Four ways to settle this:
- Long ethernet cable. Can also use an unmanaged switch plugged into the IPTV LAN port on the router if you feel adventurous (I tried it, it works). So you can split the IPTV LAN port all over the house with some additional cabling using a cheapo 5-port 10/100 switch. If you're feeling even more adventurous, spend one weekend with an AP plugged into the IPTV port and the IPTV box plugged into a WiFi bridge (theoretically, for both AP and bridge, set static IP in a different netmask range than the IPTV box should work. This is to ensure that both AP and WiFi bridge won't interfere with TM's DHCP server, and theoretically the IPTV box will connect to TM network normally and the bridge and AP will just blindly bridge the connection allowing the IPTV box to connect to DHCP server at TM and get set up).
- Homeplug
- ye olde HDMI Extender
- HyppTV Anywhere for Android + Android IPTV box.

Homeplug speed is largely due to house electricity wiring and stability of the power in your area. If the wiring is old or not properly done or the electricity in your area not stable, then quality will be degraded. This is why I don't trust homeplug (aside from the side risk of lightning strike destroying the LAN port as well) and rather haphazardly run a long ethernet cable.

Well, as I said earlier, there is a theory I am working on using a WiFi AP and Bridge, but I need to perform experiment on it first before I can confirm that it works. I already have all the necessary devices tho- just need to get around doing the experiment and will give you feedback once I have an idea of whether it works or not.

+1. Assteruk is just that bad that they don't know how to move with the times. You can deny people from accessing HD channels, but HDMI is now a required connection and should be made usable from the start even if the subscriber only wants SD channels.

TM accountants are real clowns. One wonders if they even passed SPM, since they don't know how to bill people. Although I don't have billing problem so much as problem with autopay. One time they didn't charge me for two months then one shot hentam me RM750++ on the third month. Hence I have cancelled autopay and chosen to pay manually each month.

Well, according to the list, most good HD channels cost RM6 to RM9 per month (yes, it's ala-carte like what people always wished for - you pay per channel). Or you could just take advantage of the platinum pack and pay RM30 per month which covers most good channels, including HD ones.

Of course, Travel HD is a good channel, and its free... So TM gives subscribers one good channel out of the box already

Anyone has access to a Slingbox? Wondering if you pass the HyppTV box to SlingBox without HDCP stripper, will the HDCP block the SlingBox from relaying the channel?

I think it's still available. And the HD channels if I'm not mistaken are downscaled to SD on Streamyx HyppTV. But best to confirm with TM.

Well, as I said, a possibility could be that the HD channel is there, just that Screamyx users get a version that is resampled to ED (SD resolution but widescreen). Or it could be using adaptive bitrate and the resolution is based on network speed.

Well, as I said before, TM accountants are clowns. Once you pay, you must call them to make sure payment get through. Most likely your payment got rejected (or worse, got pocket by those clowns). Time to call them up and belasah...

Sounds like he subscribe either Sports pack or Mega Pack.

TVB8 Has no HK drama?

This post has been edited by RAMChYLD: Feb 25 2014, 11:22 AM

Mandarin dubbed is very strange since this is a HK channel. Have you tried the audio select button? Those actually work on some channels.

As the FAQ said, you can, but only for the channels listed. Those channels will allow you to rewind two hours max, and only those channels allow you to pause. Other channels like CBeebies and BBCE has no timeshift function.

RTL-CBS, not sure, not subscribed to it. My main reason for HyppTV is the BBC channels.

You must activate HyppTV Everywhere from OCC then wait 24 hours.
