So TM will not provide the STB Box, what is the best way to watch Unifi TV on your TV? You can only install on phone and desktop (only on IE), and not on android box.

Get a tablet or smartphone that has a HDMI port.

unifitv is the resident app in the box, bound to that box mac no.

u can't extract n use it on another device unless u get unifi to bind it to that other device.

for other devices, u use unifi playtv app; it's not the same thing.
unifi playtv app can be used on certain android boxes but not all.

it can also be used on smart tv's running on androidtv os.

They mention in their official website that it will not support android box, means that they didn't allow Unifi Play TV to play on TV. I have try using Airplay to push the video from my iPhone to Apple TV but they block it. It can only using mirror mode which it is not full screen on the TV.

Sure this is possible but not practical. You normally sit on couch which is quite far from your TV. Cable is messy and difficult for you to change channel without remote.
I hope TM can explain why they stop provide STB box cause most people still use TV to watch live channel. Mobile apps is good but as an alternative for people watch live tv on the move.

I remember that one user mentioned if want to use new STB, have to buy it from TM or renew the contract. So it all depends on TM.

it is their official stand that the app does not work on boxes.
so that they need not answer any question about boxes.
it is true the mirroring does not get u full screen.

above is exactly the same when it comes to astrogo app.
however, there are boxes can do both of them nicely.
this has something to do with the firmware of the box.
some can install direct from playstore, auto update too.
some need to sideload, update manually new versions.
some need work on the box itself to hide root, etc.

such issues have been discussed in other threads, incl this one:
https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/4405774/+200

specific models from himedia, minix, shieldtv, mibox are reported to be capable but there may be others.

Lol. That was one alternative way to watch on the tv.
Do you mean that even when you subscribe to Ultimate pack, they also don’t supply the STB anymore?
Unifi PlayTv doesn’t get to watch all the channels as the STB.

not sure if my eyes are playing tricks or if unifi has actually improved their stream quality due to new customers now not getting STB's.

i seem to see better quality streams on playtv app.

those "HD" streams now appear more like 576/720 to me when they were more like 360/480 previously.

so, good for new users using the app.

Yes, increased bitrate from 3-4 mbps to 5-6 mbps, almost as good as Itunes movies. STB still ahead (8-9 mbps) but not far behind.

Fox channels also removed from PlayTV app. Probably expired license (to broadcast on app), STB still got Fox channels.

My box and tablet app installed from playstore, auto update, both now showing 7.9.5.

Apad version, not Aphone.

But incompatible devices or devices on androidtv do not auto update, u need to do manually.

And yes, quality better now, many hd in 720.
