Hmmm interesting, its been a while since I watched hypptv, mainly using it for kodi backup viewing.

Will try to check on my set.
Have you checked the available memory and storage on the device.

It's fully reseted by TM and setup by them . Didn't touch the storage and memory at all. I wait for them to solve it, then only I will fiddle with the box to side load app.

I noticed somewhat similar results. But it's more of a flicker.. Barely noticeable except when actively looking out for it.

Nah don't think it's the connection. I believe it either originates from the server end or the STB itself.. Perhaps the player.

Edit: Channel - Red By HBO.

I believe it's from the server. Even in my relative house, I notice the lag. It's getting widespread I think.

FYI guys, if you ever call TM for HyppTV box issue, please uninstall Kodi. Some of TM technician will immediately consider it void if they saw the Kodi app. Luckily the technician is nice and inform me about it.

Just wondering out loud, I am a unifi user since 5mb line.
All my devices working fine till now, 10mb

Any particular situation tht I can hv the hypptv box upgraded to the latest android version at no charge?
*
I would suggest you don't do anything and use what's given. If you're paying RM149 for that kind of speed and don't plan to pay more, why upgrade to 179 just to get new TV box. That extra RM30 per month can end up buying a better TV box after 10 months of paying. Just my 2 cents.

What I could suggest is to complain to TM about the lagginess issue like mine. Most likely the technician will troubleshoot the problem and their SOP is to change device, assume to solve to problem. But before they change, make sure you ask whether will you be charge for the new device or not. If being charge for the box, just refuse the service. Then proceed to call TM or they'll call you, and close the case due to charges imposed.

Then request for rebate when the case is close. Because it's what you're entitled.

Here's hoping a fix is implemented and soon. Thanks for the tip. Not to worry as I only use the STB for Hypptv purposes. Have another box as a dedicated media player..  smile.gif

I'm watching ip man 3 now on Channel 228. All the excited scenes become potong steam cause of the lag. Haha bangwall.gif

You need to have username@iptv and password and key in at the authentication part.

Make sure you safekeep the password. It has two sets of account. Make sure you request both.

Username@unifi and username@iptv, both account has different password. Probably you can save it in Google Drive as notes. Easy access.

For those facing the locked HyppTV device, has anyone tried to reset the HyppTV and then re-enter all crendentials to see if that could revert back to previous build ?

I tried mine last nite, everything still works. Can connect to playstore can do live tv streaming, youtube also no problem. I also tried downloading from 3rd party market apps (shafa and aptoide) also okay.
Not sure if they will block in the future.

If you remove the Update Address or change it, then the unit won't update to the latest firmware and enforce those restriction policy.

Using a wired LAN connection as per original design..
Silly questions.. Have you checked the batteries in the remote? Dropped the remote lately? Also, the remote uses Infrared and not Bluetooth, make sure it's pointed at the IR receiver on the STB.

Edit: Just found out, to display the onscreen keyboard... select the textbox and press the okay button. The onscreen keyboard will pop up from below, then press up or down to start selecting keys. To make the keyboard go away..press back on the remote.
Krypton is not compatible with this box.. Go to the Kodi Official Discussion Thread... Same question...Answer provided.

Looks like the lag i'm facing since quite some time ago has reduced slightly. Not as frequent as before.

The TM technician came and route the bandwidth from the Huawei Modem directly at Port 2. Port 1 is connected to my Huawei WS880 router.

Hopefully will get better overtime.

With the new update, you still can install APKs.

With the new update, you still can install APKs if you have any 3rd party file explorer installed prior to the update.

Nope, not really...
I have mine totally wiped off after the update and I still can gain  back everything by doing it all over again, but with slightly diff. approach.

Possible to share the solution for others to try out?

If you couldn't even enable developer mode and enable debugging mode, how to use adb at all?

You can't even get to the Android settings cause the HyppTV stock option doesn't let you select it.

Is this done with the latest update of TM? Where they've removed the Play Store? If yes, how did you enter this Setting?

Here is tutorial how to add back PLAY STORE

I'm not sure if this is reverting back to previous firmware or using existing firmware with Play Store apk added.
Cause from the YouTube video shared in the owner's blog, after update....he key-ed in 3008 as the maintenance code to remove the URL update.

*most likely previous firmware*
