possible to watch netflix via unifi stp box?

Malaysia uses 50Hz system, so both Unifi TV and Astro are on 50Hz video refresh rate.

both got confused

fps is frame rate, Hz is refresh rate

for tv, it's using interlace(i) scan instead of progressive(p)

i have no idea what is the frame rate for unifitv

Yup. Malaysian broadcasting standard is 25FPS/50Hz interlaced for 576 and 1080 resolutions. Unifi TV, astro and MYTV STBs all output at 1080i50 by default. I don't know what framerate they use to encode the international channels but all local channels are 25FPS/50Hz.

No, I'm not confused.

In TV broadcasting standards worldwide, doesn't matter SD, HD or UHD, there is 50Hz (known as PAL) and 60Hz (known as NTSC) for the time being. Malaysia's uses following the PAL 50Hz standard (commonly known as Europe/UK standards). And it uses interlace instead of progressive, which are either 1080i50 or 1080i60. But for Malaysia, it is always 1080i50.

So all channels on Astro and Unifi TV are in 50i Interlaced (equivalent to 25fps in Progressive), regardless of SD or HD (576i or 1080i).

If the TV channels they get from the channel provider (such as via C band satellite) is in 1080i50, pay TVs will encode it as 1080i50 as it is.
However, if the channel is originally in 1080i60 (example SETi channel on Unifi TV, or CTI Asia, KBS World on Astro), pay TVs will force encode it as 1080i50, so you will see inconsistent motion on those channels.

Once I also noticed some of the channels were not in full HD.
No matter what settings I used, still cannot get full HD.
Then I noticed the STB was not connected in 1080p when it boot up.
It was booted up with 576i only.


Have to report to TM on the issue.
Don't know what they did, the STB booted up with 1080p.

Press home button to exit Unifi TV app, then go Settings.
There, go to Display and change the resolution settings.

Indeed, not all channels are in HD on unifi TV. But channels like Fox Movies should be in HD...

Also, on the menus of Unifi TV app (as shown as your photo attached), go to settings (gear icon), then change the "Aspect ratio" setting to 16:9.

Tried all the settings on the resolution part. Nothing works.
It was TM side. They changed something on their side.

In addition, to further complicate things and cause more framerate mismatch, there are movies and dramas filmed in 24FPS. This is probably why some movies on 201 and some dramas on 211 look even more jerky. Probably undergone double conversion, 24p -> 60i -> 50i, so messed up already.

Mine is not STB issue, the STB is outputting 1080i50 all the time for sure and only those several channels are in SD. Other HD channels are in good HD quality. So the problem is in TM's encoding of the channel. The channels have problem in the playTV app as well and you can notice that even the LPF logo is in wrong aspect ratio proving that TM is handling those HD channels as SD 4:3 channels instead of HD 16:9.

Long ago when I complained to TM, they asked me restart STB and check HDMI cable etc and want send people to come check but no one ever came so I gave up and posted here.

Can you list down the HD channels that went to SD?

The list is in this thread but I haven't check recently so I don't know if there are any more changes. Someone mentioned some movie channels became SD recently in the other thread too.

Edit: post 527 has links to the lists in red colour.
Edit2: additional channels that might be facing same issue: https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...post&p=94344433
