white box is still the best thts ehy I hope mine can last longer

maybe he never compared with good PQ, once compared, can nvr go back

now anything lesser than 1080p looks like SD for me sigh I am spoilt

So after upgraded to free unifi plus box, you got the Netflix basic access for free ? Your plan is still Ultimate or change to Ultimate plus ? Do you receive your first bill after upgraded to UPB ?

Im from ultimate pack (rm60) try to upgrade to ultimate plus pack (rm69.90) but they bundled it together with 'free' UPB and slap me with 24months contract renew 😑 I just wanna get that netflix basic deal without renewing contract but i guess that's the only option I have now😑

After the upgrade, can you still use the white box to watch the movies?

so means if upgrade to ultimate plus, you must select both ultimate plus + free unifi plus box ?

I am still thinking whether want to get the free unifi plus box or not, because the white box is kind of slow. or we can get other box to replace the white box ? (the unifi tv app is not HD)

what is the app/sw use on unifi plus box to watch tv channels? is that same as white box?

If u take the packs they give u a free box. So far no issues for me using the box

The thing is that it's very weird to get an extra box and another round of 24 months contract every time a subscriber wants to switch over the newly-introduced packs.

I recently realize that I watch a lot of the linear channels, VOD titles and OTT apps like Disney+ Hotstar on my mobile devices because the UPB is usually being placed in the living room all the time, and it's very inconvenient for people who don't stay there all the time.

Honestly, if someone wants flexibility when it comes to OTT apps like Netflix, they should wait for the ala-carte option instead of choosing Ultimate Plus and Ultimate MAX because the only difference between these two packs and Ultimate Pack is Netflix. If you really want the "around" RM 20 discount for Netflix and you won't change your mind staying with the new pack, then it's the best way for you to go. Otherwise, I won't recommend it considering the economy and the pandemic could still be a threat if you do that (24 months are quite long you know).

But, everything aside, I'm waiting for the upcoming wave of new channels like HBO, etc. Netflix is still considered as special interest for me.

That's just my opinion.

I plan to put the new box in my upstairs hall. New channels still coming?

Won't you feel weird that they didn't launch any "so-called movie channel(s)" for the channel number 401++ (except HITS Movies, but it's a retro movie channel, so it doesn't count as contemporary movie channel)? They also ceased Techstorm (CH 505) probably due to low viewership or sudden realisation that it didn't suit to be grouped as learning channels (or probably because of the channel numbering - giving ways to Discovery channels). Also, they're heavily monitoring Warner Bros. Discovery channels - Warner TV, Boomerang and Travel Channel during ads break (even at 2 AM). Usually, it means that they will bring in their sister channels, and it's just a matter of time. As I said, as long as they keep carrying those channels, and how their team keeps mentioning HBO MAX and Cinemax in a few of their "interviews", I think they're probably have them in mind all the time. Also, Warner Bros. Discovery APAC probably provides their linear channels to the TV providers if they want to carry their upcoming streaming services. You know the recent incident, right? HBO linear channels are exclusive to TV providers, who also carry HBO GO.

Here's a quote to back my previous statement.

"The transformation of home entertainment consumption has led to streaming giants such as Netflix, Disney+, Hulu, HBO Max, and Amazon Prime dominating much of the world’s audiences. Large-scale vernacular players like iQiyi from China and Simply South from India have also captured the bulk of localised content delivery to regional audiences." From The Ever-changing Landscape of Home Entertainment by Anand Vijayan

PS: All Disney/FOX distributed Hulu titles will be made available on Disney+ Hotstar. As you can see the next big name coming to Unifi TV could probably be HBO.

Maybe they add for free for the new packs.

I can see maybe that's the reason of why they provide Netflix (Basic) for Ultimate Plus and Netflix (Standard) for Ultimate MAX. I think they're doing the budget thing to squeeze everything upcoming in their packs. That's just my opinion. But based on how they're able to put Disney+ Hotstar and beIN Sports (both linear and app) into Ultimate Pack, I believe they will do it again.

Unifi Plus Box Gen 3, remote with Netflix button.

Damn it looks stunning!

Got my package just now but how to login in to Netflix? Use own existing Netflix login/account?

Yes. Existing account login

Does the box have a different spec compared to UPB gen 2 (hybrid)? Also, is it also a hybrid?

1 year 1 version??
