The playTV app should be updated with some existing features the IPTV box already has—channel mosaic, PIP, original quality of the stream, etc.

2. Regarding the Netflix issue in UPB. TM needs to work with Netflix to offer a Netflix license in UPB as UPB has not yet received a certificate from Netflix.

"At the moment, Netflix is very slow, and perhaps even reluctant, to test and authorize new devices.

This is in part because manufacturers need to sell a minimum number  of devices in a particular region (i.e. United States) in order to get certified by Netflix. Without that certification, Netflix has no reason to treat them as anything other than tablets.

It’s a classic “chicken and the egg” story. Without selling these units, they won’t be able to get Netflix 4K, but without Netflix 4K, it will be very difficult to sell that many units."

That explains why Unifi is pushing their subscribers to get the UPB box, so they can get the Netflix certificate as soon as they meet their required amount of active box users.

I hope ‘customised OS’ means they will use Android TV with operator tier—integrate the Android TV user interface with their existing IPTV interface somehow, or creating a new one, or like what Astro says they’ll do by the end of this year, use a Linux interface and somehow allow installation of Android apps.
So hybrid meaning both IPTV and OTT streaming.
But honestly, the quality should stay the same if they’re using this hybrid box. All they need to do is use the same stream as the white box and you should get the same quality. And there’s that added benefit of being able to install Android TV apps on hopefully a nice-looking user interface.

The image looks more like HP43A. Hope the hybrid means VLAN600 + Wi-Fi. That way the dedicated multicast IPTV network can still be used and the image quality will be 'broadcast grade' like with previous STBs as well as uninterrupted by network congestion while having the possibility of running streaming apps.

Kinda disappointed with Spotv2... doesn't fit with Msian sports...Spotv its ok ,it caters racing...but nobody in Msia really into Korean baseball and Volleyball...

For those using the Unifi TV Android TV App, does it crash after a while for you? I usually like to just put something on the TV when I sleep, and I tried with Unifi TV the past few days. But usually when I woke up it's crashed back on the home screen for me, and sometimes it will say "Session has ended".

I don't have any issues with other app like Youtube/Twitch

That is weird. Maybe my mibox is not up to task anymore

kaypoh sikit,
which +1 app that most of you chose?

Can use phone or tablet but i use the upb. Quite convenient but if dont have upb is not good. Unifi should give upb at least to all ultimate pack for free. Now they sell and too expensive. No good

Anyone take Iqiyi ? for this Unifi plan get Iqiyi Standard plan  or Premium Plan ?

only difference is 2 devices (std) vs 4 devices (premium)

so far no issues on unifi tv. but meh ..SPO TV..lousy stuff..one showing mainly korean sports..

got expiry for the Standard subscription of iqiyi. so what would happen after the date? no more access?

sure or not? coz if this is the way they do things, kinda troublesome.
btw, we all only get Standard and not Premium?

Hi guys, I chose Lionsgate + IQIYI as an ultimate pack user. After installing the IQIYI app on the tv, I went to see the display settings and 4k is listed as premium. After choosing that, it gives me 3 options. There is standard monthly subscription at RM1.90, premium yearly subscription at RM239.90 and a limited time offer for premium monthly subscription for free. If I choose the free option, I still need to give my credit card information. My question is if I choose this option, will it forever be free until I am no longer an ultimate pack user?

I wonder for how many months this "RM15" will you have to pay

24months for sure

Price reduction for upb maybe in anticipation of launching unifi new tv box?

I installed unifi TV app into Philip android tv but i can't select the channel. App keeps want me to refresh. Does anyone encounter this situation?

Nope. Just a Samsung FHD TV but unigitv picture quality is among the worst. Astro picture quality much better...

If I'm not mistaken, the Unifi TV app (not to be confused with unifi playTV app) can be download right from the Google Play Store and install in devices running Android TV OS. Correct me if I'm wrong.

I think he is comparing Unifi TV app with Astro Go, which he is correct, since Unifi TV App streams at 1080p, while Astro Go only streams at highly compressed 720p.
