My box refused to boot pass the "Starting" page yesterday night. Had to hard reset and install everything again. Anybody experienced the same issue before and do we have to properly turn off the box (ie shutting it down properly) before turning off the plug?

Did you disable some default apps to clear up space for Kodi?

lately some kodi addons are the culprit of conflicts. It doesn't close properly.

But I have not experience couldn't boot. More like kodi doesn't close properly that I have to used force stop (might be due to auto updates issue). After I removed some repo that might be the cause. it works find now.

Just got the white box after so long. While I use Raspberry Pi for my general Kodi consumption, suddenly need a kodi box for one TV room.

Thoughts on Kodi + huawei ec6108v8:

Thanks for your write up. Just curious, does SPMC supports the new HTTPS links? Like what's supported on Krypton?

I think I did.. But it was running fine prior to this. So I wouldnt suspect it to be the reason. Should I disable playstore auto update? I suspect that would be the cause.

Can we change the STB ethernet port to become Internet port?

Cuz right now it's only for IPTV port.

Yes! you can do that by going to the router setting. http://192.168.0.1 the password should be at your STB. the installer normally put a sticker on the router. the name & password are written on the sticker.

But once you changed the vlan bridge. you can no longer watch hypptv channels if you don't configure another dedicated wifi port for these purposed.

A lot of people didn't aware after you have installed more apps and kodi into the hypptv STB. it left only 2-3++mb memory space available.

You have to free up the memory during the initial stage. Low memory can be one of the factor if playstore start to auto updates the apps in the system.

To free up the space you can do that with Kodi. Disable all useless apps & google related stuff. Since we normally installed/side load apk. ES explorer can do the job.

The only downside after removing google account manager are you can no longer able to synchronize youtube account. But the standalone youtube TV app works (search function and playback).

Anyway! the main objective to free up the memory is to let the other apps to run smoothly which is the most important. Right! smile.gif

Out of warranty or working while under warranty... For free? No. You will to pay? Yes.

Else, if out of contract period. Terminate and reapply a new subscription.. Contract calendar gets reset. IMO, the box ain't worth it.

Understood.. If within one year of sign up, then it's still under warranty.

This box is not cheap to buy outside though. Some sellers asking for Rm150 to Rm200 for a used one. Not worth the money if you ask me.

this box is not cheap becos it is built to play HYPPTV, 1080i, good video quality, worth something.

non-TM box can't do that, can only do hyppeverywhere.

i, for one, like HYPPTV quite a bit.

if my old STB fail, i will have to get a replacement.

but many want to use it as a normal android box for all kinds of streaming.

just for that, rm200 is definitely not worth it.

Just sharing!

When I called TM to report my TM Silver box faulty. The service center told me if the box damaged by lightning. It's not under warranty and it will cost me RM150.00 only.

SO my guess if you called service center and report your box are now faulty by any means. It will cost you RM150.00 if you are not covered by the warranty.

I got lucky to replaced for free after I told them my unit LCD was not working and not damaged by lightning because I can see the display on my TV. Only the LCD are faulty. After a few days the technician came and changed both the STB & Router for me without even check the old system. I got a free replacement upgrade to the white STB. smile.gif

True to that. But even watching Hypp TV everywhere, this box performs flawlessly. But to compare it with the newer of generation of boxes, then it would not fair as this box has limited hardware and software capabilities. For me it is ok as this box sits in my bedroom only and it can play hypp tv, some free iptvs channels, youtube and astro on the go which is good enough.

Damn.. my box failed to boot for the second time. Do you guys turn off your box properly by exiting all apps and then putting in on standby using remote or you guys just turn off using remote?
