A bit off topic. Just like to share where I just notice Astro GO quality is improve a lot! Omg! Now not pixelate, very smooth in good quality. smile.gif They is a mouse pointer in second photo because I am using Gamepad as mouse to navigate the Astro GO app in Mi Box. Really wish Astro consider do Astro GO for Android TV.

I try yesterday also. You need install two plug-in for PC chrome. It is working after install two plug-in. One is chrome extension, another is a standalone plugin.

Below is some screenshot of Astro GO v/s unifi playTV - Streaming Video Quality from Mi Box.

unifi playTV streaming video quality is still far behind than Astro GO. Both apps is not Android TV apps and required mouse for navigation.

They might've win streaming quality, but on TV one still far behind unifi TV. whistling.gif

I don't own unifi TV box, can't comment the video quality. As I know the unifi TV box is also a streaming services.

From here mentioned BBC Player - https://unifi.com.my/tv/packages/jumbo.html
Is it better than Unifi playTV apps that everyone can use and even subscribe for DiGi and unifi user?

I would like to see some photos or screenshot, whether it is better than Astro broadcast.
Astro GO even though is good but Astro broadcast itself is still better than it.

unifi tv with stb is as good as astro with decoder - for HD channels.
both are in 1080i 50hz.

astrogo used to be crap but has improved now, better than unifi playtv.
of course, neither is as good as the stb or decoder streams.

Oh I see. Thanks for the information. smile.gif

It all depends on ur device.
playUnifi is actually as good as Astro Go in terms of streaming quality.
maybe u need to compare some of the devices.

for example, my phone can get until 4k but my tablet (an entry level Lenovo) can only get max 2k.

If before Feb, 2018 then yes but not after because Astro had update the streaming quality where it is like watching Astro broadcast quality now.

If 10 out of how many star for streaming video quality, I will give
  • Astro GO - 9 Star
  • unifi playTV - 6 Star
Tested both on Mi Box and LG G6.

The HD quality is using SD version to convert to HD.
Now planning for UHD?  shakehead.gif

Guessing again will force us upgrade to decoder UVR (Not PVR)..
And then will tell you just add on UHD version additional RM26.50..
Then will become HD RM26.50 + UHD RM26.50..

IF in the future got 3D version, then might be another RM26.50..
Really smart.... thumbup.gif
Where you get this? From official website?

Ooh..
So now latest is 4K right 😊
While most home have basic FHD 🙏

Latest is 4K and HDR. That 3D thing when appear I already know sure dead because as long required glasses then it won't success.
Now even 3D movie in theater also start reducing.

Actually FHD is enough for most, but if want to enjoy HDR, need 4K TV as seems only 4K TV have HDR support.

agreed..
3D is slowly forgotten..

FHD is the standard basic for most home.. enough for normal viewing...

But if want to buy new TV. No point to get FHD anymore since 4K is dirt cheap now.
