How is the quality compared to astro HD channels incl its audio quality? What bandwidth eg Unifi 5mb which you are using? rclxms.gif

Sure its not full 1080P but its of very good HD quality. CloudTV recommends at least 4Mbps, I’m using Unifi's 5Mbps and it streams fantastic with no buffering and doesn’t disturb browsing/downloading/youtube streaming on my other 5 wifi connected devices. Should you choose to subscribe, better you sign up for the Chinese package rather than the English only package. This is cuz, the Chinese package is cheaper and also contains lots more English channels than the English only package.
I'd like CloudTV to improve by adding more English channels and improving to full HD smile.gif though that might call for upgrading to the 10Mbps package.

Can pm me your service provider? For cloud tv,
*
No need, just download the apk from their website, install on ur device and you'll be given 24 hours free testing of all premium channels. If you are satisfied, simply subscribe and make payment thru card or PayPal. 1 mth subscription should be enough for further testing, if you remain undecided after the free trial.

Ya it's down now. I installed yesterday when it was okay.

You can refer to this link too.

Okay, just rechecked and the site is back up and was able to download the latest version available for android. Initial testing on my tablet seems okay, switching channels is fast, smooth and I love the swipe up and down as volume control. Seems though it caters to more non-English channels. Tested FYI, NBA HD, CNN, and History channel and got smooth playback with quality of around 480p. It does require a lot of unnecessary permissions.

maybe site down again. will check again tmrw.
that miui link... asks for login, register...?

on the pc, looks good enough, pretty stable.

thanks!

Hey, I encountered the same issue as you did. Bet you weren't using Google Chrome browser on android to download the apk. Visiting the site from Chrome on android, allows you to download the apk file. Let me know if that still doesn't work & i'll put up a download link of the apk file.

yep, that's what i found out after several tries with diff links and direct dl on android browser.

doesn't work with android boxes.

looks like it works with phones and tablets only.

which is interesting... how does it differentiate?

reminds me of hypptv evreywhere that once used to work on android boxes but no longer.

someone got clever! biggrin.gif

Hmmm.... Works as expected on my tablet. How about editing the build.prop temporarily on an android box to match a nexus device? Changing the android version, model and product brand?

Hi guys, I need to know if CloudTV allow to have 2 decoders (in the same network) to be used with single account, meaning I only have to pay one Package and use for 2 different decoders, but within the same network.

Pay attention to clause 4.

There was showing in menu during the time i installed it. Any clue?

Yeah, the trial is for a day, after which you can either stick with the free content or purchase a subscription.

really, that is the key!

it's ok to muck around with existing equipment - smart androidtv, cheap sticks, hypp stb, old pc, handphones, tablets, etc. to try all kinds of things first - as a learning process. and that can be a very short period.

after that, it's certainly very rewarding to a good androidbox - get all the apps, more stable, more reliable, more versatile.

most impt of all - for continuous learning to keep up.

i see androids advancing at an even quicker pace, will be found in almost anything "electronic smart" soon.
talking of which, my oldest android, almost 3 yrs, is showing signs of fatigue. or maybe i am now used to faster speeds, find it way too slow. laugh.gif

chance coming for me to get a new one. tongue.gif
*
Hahaha, probably just used to more speed.. Besides 3 years is a long time compared to today's fast-paced technology. Technically, your box was obsolete in about a year after its release. tongue.gif See the average human is difficult to satisfy, we want it faster, better, stronger. Google's Android TV was supposed rule the living room, but mainly due to certain restrictions and it's incompatibility with the full fledged Android OS apps, it's not gaining traction as it should.

Hi Guys,

I had installed CloudTV in the HyppTV box. But when I running CloudTV now, the message swipe "down from the top to exit full screen" with "OK" button. But I'm unable to select "OK" button to remove this message using remote control. Can anyone advise on this?

Thanks in advance

Are you using a remote with trackpad or airmouse features which simulate touch? If not? You need one or an external mouse to click the "Ok" button.

I keep suffering buffering.

Anybody has any idea how to stop buffering for cloudtv?

Device? Paid or free account? Internet speed? Decoding mode? Using default or external player?

thanks for the feedback. Appreciate comment on VPN because I was considering purchasing one.

Yesterday wanted to watch Federer/Nadal match but damn tough keep buffering, then same scene repeating.

I think it's server problem, cause other channels are smooth.

I've tried both asian/europe server - no difference.
*
Server problem.. With such services, buffering is bound to happen occasionally depending on server strength. For server issues, it's usually because the servers and or their bandwidth is at or near full capacity handling connections to it.. hence the buffering.

I had a chat with cloudtv Support, not bad around 10pm also got live support.

They asked to change decoder, I switched to S/W now it seems better.

Well the real test is when it is showing some popular match
*
Yup... How they handle congestion is the true test. Basically, if server & upload capacity is set at 20,000 connected.. If say 20100 tries to connect, sure 100 or so experience buffering issues or kick outs.. What good IPTV providers do is provide more servers to handle the load.. Of-course, they can be pricier or more exclusive to seek than CloudTV. CloudTV's major advantage is history, those guys have been around for at least 5 years.. So paying to them comes with some peace of mind versus some fresh, low popularity provider

I'm testing cloudTv  premium channels on hypptv box, i watch MTV HGTV NG with my 50mbps unifi. It got stuck sometimes or displaying very loud prerecorded presentation in chinese notifying user that the channel is unavailable. Very annoying
*
laugh.gif That one's from the channel hosters.. What most of these folks do is capture and broadcast the streams, guess they've employed a way to inform that the channel is unavailable at that particular time.
