Hi bros, disney is now supposed to be available for unifi subscribers

Can we get it through the old hypptv box (black in colour) but not the hypptv plus box
*
There are 4 or 5 types of boxes....new ones running on androidtv can do, others cannot.

Can be confusing.

Unifi should phase out the older ones, replace them free or low cost without contract but they dont.

In my case, i will not pay so much for new box+contract.

Easy enough to use direct on 2 AndroidTV tvs... junked old silver box, dont need anymore.

For disney+, PQ good, up to 4k hdr, audio dd/dd+ 5.1.

Quality is better than lionsgate, iqiyi, wetv.

Very stable, easy to use, convenient.

Happy. thumbup.gif

TLDR: either Disney hotstar OR lionsgate play + 1 extra OTT

Disney hotstar cost overall (rm18+/month) is close to lionsgate and another OTT combined (14.90 for LGP, some service like iQiyi/viu can be got for cheap at around rm5-8), but the content value along can worth some trade off

note that once you convert LGP+OTT to Disney hotstar, it is NON-REVERSIBLE. Think wisely whether the trade off is worth for you
*
After using iqiyi+lionsgate for some months, n one day of Disney+, I think it's good to go Disney. Better library, great PQ, AQ.

When I want iqiyi again, I will pay rm5.90pm, not too bad.

Curious if anyone has tried...

Unifi Disney hotstar... can it work on a regular android box?

It works on a regular android phone, right?

Will be good if that is possible as some boxes can deliver better PQ, AQ thru avr compared to smart androidtv.

I know the unifiplaytv apk works on regular android box, just need a mouse to navigate.

Does these Android Box has DRM support? All Android TV devices has to have Widevine/Clearkey/PlayReady L1, which allows 4K or L2, which max at 1080p decryption.

IIRC those android box don't bother to pay for DRM licensing, and so are limited to Widevine L3 (480p) max. What's the use of better PQ and AQ if they don't bother to have a proper DRM support or proper TV OS

QUOTE(keithyan @ May 18 2022, 02:29 PM)
no point also if those china box having good hardware if they dont have Widevine license.

mostly tv box have Android TV OS will able to play the app depending their limitation (HDR , DV)

most smartphone will have widevine license thus the app works on it.

nowdays most streaming app will have hd video encryption , u will only able play 480p to 720p in non widevine license box.
*
Of course, of course.... i have been using smart tv for so long that i forgot about the widevine thingy. biggrin.gif

Still, i tried a couple of things....

Mobile phone, regular android app works fine, navigation fine. Login with just phone no.

Regular android box, the app isnt optimized for it.... poor navigation on top of pq, aq limits.

It seems to me this disney subscription allows at least 4 devices registration but limited to use of 3.

hey guys....

i m pleased to report that after asking my fren with a Sony A80J on 800mbps to check...

confirm Unifi's Disney+hotstar, new titles come in Dolby Vision or DV.

however his audio setup is suboptimal, i think... cannot ascertain if it can receive Dolby Atmos or not.

my own 2 setups, limited to 4kUHD/HDR10, DD/DD+ which is expected.

can anyone test and confirm if u can get Dolby Atmos with the right equipment? TQ.

From the beginning of D+H , I believe there are no Dolby atmos support . That is 1 of the downside having D+H than original D+

ok then...

just live with DD/DD+! biggrin.gif

but i m happy there is 4kUHD/HDR10 - this is impt.

Disney definitely no DA but with DV, compare Disney with Netfllix, Disney streaming around 45mbps compare Netfllix only 15.5mbps but Netfllix is having DV and DA
*
i quite like the D+H PQ, even the older titles come out nice, incl TV series.

have not used netflix for a few years now, no idea if it's just as good or better.

QUOTE(linkinstreet @ May 22 2022, 08:08 AM)
The choice is by design IMO. Hotstar realises that many people in this region can't actually afford DV setup, so why bother.
Ironically my Singaporean friend is jealous with us because Hotstar in this region contains shows that the original Disney+ does not carry, such as some Japanese dramas which Hotstar takes from Disney+ Japan.
*
i agree with the DA bit. DA is excellent with full BDMV's DDtrueHD+DA but for DD+ +DA, the oomph is missing, not so good.

so, for online streams, AVR upmixing DD/DD+ to PLII or DSurround is good enough.

Unifi email me today by offering me the new unifi plus box for free but not sure any tie down or contract. Anyone here received the offer please enlighten. Tq
*
i never had any offer like that.

but that mesh router offer at RMxx per month, rec'd like 10 times. biggrin.gif


if free box + sign 2 yr contract, i may consider.

i m assuming the box on LAN4, for unfiitv live channels, will give me better PQ than the app on ATV tv.

can anyone confirm this? TQ.


standalone apps like D+H, iqiyi, etc. will probably be the same, i think.

hotstar should works on below platforms guaranteed

Android TV
Amazon fire TV

since shield runs on android TV, 100% can download from google play and run it
the problem with hotstar is some key features (eg 4K and dolby) unavailable on some smart tv platforms like samsung tizen, LG webos, pana my home screen (firefox os fork)
*
This is the first time i read this.

I m surprised.... these lg, samsung, pana tvs aren't google widevine L4 certified?

What about the newest qled, oled ones?

For unifit D+H, Sharp, sony hdr tvs can get 4khdr dd5.1.

Sony oled can get 4k DV too.

tbf actually hotstar MY versions does support only SOME contents playable in 4K on Tizen or webos (forget about some special dolby, local hotstar not available atmos or vision, only up to ac3 digital)

hotstar MY does officially support webos 4.0 but is take some months after the launch. officially for tizen tv can only switch region to india then can only install

yeah they take many many months for astro ultra box version and is only after astro commission them as the ultra box use another special linux based OS

QUOTE(devilmaysmile @ May 29 2022, 10:22 AM)
First you device must be support hdr, dv..etc
Exp..Netflix drama with DV and DA.  but you TV without DV. The video will only play in hdr (if you TV support hdr) format.
*
U mean the LG webos that u using?


i brought this up to understand more about the dev in new TVs other than Sony and Sharp which I know enuf.

in the TV discussions, i see people talk mainly about nits, brightness, hertz; nobdoy talks about what they get for netflix, D+H, Amazaon prime, etc.

Y'know, I'm rather surprised at how popular UnifiTV is, now. Back then, people would go, 'meh, alot of things can be streamed freeee, what is this for?'

I don't really watch it myself these days, even, aside from occasional news watching.
*
Times are a changing.

Now, faster speeds, cheaper packages, good quality.

While ahem streams more blockages, less reliable.

For daily use, pay a bit to get the ease n convenience makes sense.

Still, certain good things r still free.

Dun believe it when they tell u u can get more for paying less or same.

Price of everything is rising. Only a minority during gobind time got something nice.

Worse, unifi may raise price all round, claiming cut in subsidy by putrajaya!

indian version of CNN then. anything news related always someone will call them biased toward something
hope we will see unifi introduce their own news channel complete with awani but will be tough luck for them to ever introduce in first place

the diff countries in world blocs are now are using their media power to the full, TV or websites.

if u want pro west media - CNN, bloomberg, BBC, ABC, DW, france 24, aljazeera, CNA - all available on unifi/astro.

if u want pro china - CGTN

if u want pro india - Wion

nothing pro russia available here.

if u want pro bn/putrajaya - any local TV channel.

media is now 101% political serving their masters, spewing propaganda to the hilt, like it or not.

if u dunno it by now, u hv no idea what your brain has been fed!

Me too bro. I recently got unifi Plus Box 1st gen, it’s been worsening by the minute. Then it crashes. The bugs kills the app, and the Plus Box itself entirely. It’s lagging as heck I can’t even describe how pissed I am.
*
sad to hear sticks and plus box problems... wonder if it's due to hardware..?

i have long junked hypp box, no need.

AndroidTV tv (sharp, sony, etc.) is excellent - very stable, HDR, Dolby, no issues at all.

unifi is either deliberately confusing or playing games as usual.

my monthly bill shows rm60 charged for ultimate.

according to their last campaign in apr-may, ultimate gets playtv+hotstar+bein+bbc.

if u want lionsgate, u CANNOT have hotstar or viu or iqiyi.

so, what now? more variations, more discrimination, more polarization?

and what about mangotv - another spanner thrown in to confuse everyone?!

help somebody... i want it all! tongue.gif


Ultimate Pack RM59.90/month
- Unifi PlayTV (All Channels)
- Disney+ Hotstar
- beIN Sports Connect
- SpoTV Now
- BBC Player
- Lionsgate Play
- Viu
- iQIYI

From what I can tell from their FAQ, if you want all of the streaming apps, you have to re-start your 2-year contract. And that to me is not necessary because the apps that's new are not something I would spend time watching.

I mean, have Lionsgate Play updated their content to stream 5.1 audio yet?
*
i like hotstar - 4khdr, dolby.

wud like to have mangotv or iqiyi.

dun care about lionsgate as all the stuff there is old.

if it means new contract, no deal.
