Today I finally go collect this free HyppTV STB on Streamyx 8MB package.
I use Ethernet LAN to connect to my existing Streamyx router, key in username and password, and everything goes fine.
Here are some interesting test:
1. There are 2 mode for the HyppTV streaming, Streamyx and UNIFI.
Don't know if forummer here did compare the streaming quality between the 2, the streaming for Streamyx mode seems max at 4MB, which for me is pretty low quality.
2. Manage to sign in Google Playstore on the Android part and able install BubbleUPnP DLNA, VLC Player, Kodi, Candy Crush game, and Sector Strike game. The DLNA apps cannot detect my DLNA server. I play those game with mouse plug in to the STB, a mouse cursor appear on screen. Many apps are incompatible, but no plan to explore further. Maybe some one can recommend some totally free streaming service.
(After all these year watching offline content, I already get used to high quality HD viewing, streaming simply already cut a lot quality to be able to be streamed through TMNet lousy connection speed)
3. This STB actually has DLNA feature by default, can access via My Media. It can read pendrive, external HDD (1TB), and also DLNA shared video file on my PC. Quality playback on H264 MKV/MP4 file are great, able to decode AAC audio, able to play .tp, .m2ts, .ts Bluray format file. However, it cannot decode DTS audio (no problem on Dolby Digital 5.1 as surround sound can output to my Home Theater HDMI). Not sure if it can decode Dolby TrueHD, but confirm no luck on DTS. On DLNA mode, it list fewer subfolder than the folder that I shared, maybe there is a limit on number of folder it can show.
4. I plug in a USB hub, then now this STB can connect pendrive, mouse, keyboard, and HDD at the same time.
5. No problem on internet access and HyppTV watching via LAN. Maybe this limitation is only on UNIFI router.
6. At the end, I only use this STB to watch Malaysia free to air channel only, since the shared antenna on my flat is broken for 1 year, I get very bad reception to watch TV (I don't have Astro or NJOI btw). I have to get used to it's streaming quality as well, real Astro SD and HD satellite programming actually is much better quality than streaming. Of course, best quality source is still from Bluray Disc, DVD (yes, DVD is still superior) or those Bluray ripped H264 AVC video file, but those have to be downloaded for offline watching.
