How is Unifi IPTV yea? Planning to just combo with my Unifi internet when I go ask for SWU3.0 at TM point. Going to just drop Astro altogether. The only streaming services I have interest is Netflix, Disney Hotstar, HBO GO, iQIYI, and maybe WeTV. Others don't seem to have much use for me.

My mom likes to watch those chinese dramas and Netflix does not have much at all, which is why she watches the astro we have that is based on the chinese channels. Buta-buta paying RM85 per month just for those chinese channels, might as well get rid of it. iQiyi good enough? Not sure whether should think of getting WeTV together with it.

I don't think my astro has access to those streaming services, its some old chinese channel package. Seems the discussion is that UnifiTV is better as AstroGO is a pain in the ass?

Yeah its unfortunate, I was waiting for Fahmi to announce something to see whether there is any affect on Unifi. Maybe this week there will be some annoucement? lol

I'm only concerned with the top 4 you mentioned in your PQ list. In fact, I highly doubt I would even use any of the other channels that UnifiTV even offers. I suppose its going to be how they offer the broadband package and UnifiTV during walk-in visits. In the broadband thread, there is a SWU3.0 package at RM179/month that comes with 500mbps and the new ultimate pack (without netflix).

She predominantly watches mainland chinese dramas nowadays I think. Perhaps best I just get iQiyi first, then only add on WeTV or TVBanywhere if it is insufficient. RM9.90 for iQiyi/WeTV, and RM16.00 for TVBanywhere.

Damn I really miss the promo during September as there isn't any good ones now with UnifiTV. Probably have to subscribe streaming services individually as its cheaper compared to what UnifiTV has now.

I only really concern myself with streaming services since I will almost never use the TV channels. The streaming services where I compared prices of standalone to UnifiTV are Netflix, Disney+ Hotstar, HBO GO, iQiyi, and WeTV.

They actually still have the Old Ultimate Plus Pack (without HBO GO) on offer to bundle with SWU3.0 for RM69. However, if I plus the add-ons required it will balloon to RM138 (RM69 pack + RM27 Netflix Premium + RM9.90 iQiyi + RM9.90 WeTV + RM24.90 HBO GO). The 5 streaming services on it's own would be about RM115. But of course, UnifiTV also comes with other streams and TV channels included, but again, I will hardly or never even use.

TM point also tak nak kasi me already, maybe can try online chat and call haha LOL.

Yeah damn, yours is a good deal for all the stuff. I only started checking all this SWU and UnifiTV at the very end of September, not enough time to make decision. Sadgeee...

Its funny, in the chat options before joining live chat, Ultimate Max Pack is still RM89.90. But of course, on live chat itself with CS, it's RM134.90. Does anyone here know other options perhaps, other than UnifiTV?

Is HBO GO itself intentionally bad or is it UnifiTV's problem? 720p on a large screen TV is lol.

Should be minimum 1080p based on what I search online. I mean 720p in 2023 is lol. Did you ask Unifi if 720p is intentional or momentarily for HBO GO?

I'm waiting for UnifiTV team to call after raising inquiry regarding TV plans. If HBO GO is legit 720p on UnifiTV, I'm not gonna consider it lol.

Is it possible the implication is a new TV pack? Im still waiting for UnifiTV team to call back, not even sure what they can offer/nego with me as no interesting promos now.

You guys think its okay if I just get Ruby Plus Pack (also comes with MangoTV) + add on iQiyi for chinese related shows only? It'll cost about RM40 I think. For older parents wanting to watch chinese stuff only. This option is also cheaper than Astro.

It seems TVBanywhere+ got three types (channel, VOD, premium). Ruby Plus pack also provide the VOD version for the pack, on top of the MangoTV.

I thought even the Ruby Plus Pack gets the Unifi TV Box for free if I sign contract? CS mention I still have to add on Unifi TV Box for RM20 per month lmao.

Guys, just to clarify. TVB Anywhere+ Premium is the one that is basically a streaming app similar to Netflix right? Whereas VOD is the ability to record the channels and watch it in your own time, and of course Channel is just watching whatever is on at the time.

Premium will last till 29 Feb, which after that should default back to VOD.

Netflix standard for free for 300Mbps and above? Website I see the only one with Standard Netflix is the RM198 per month 500Mbps? Those below is basic.

Netflix Basic worth about RM28. So you're paying RM111 for 300Mbps internet (139-28). Hmm okay I guess? I'm on SWU3.0 which gave me 500Mbps for RM119, without Netflix of course.

Why VAR will increase to RM45? Any special reason since the other two seems to remain at RM30?

TM keeps on telling me that I can't add on UnifiTV because I'm on SWU3.0. Isn't the UnifiTV a separate service to the broadband? I remember when I was signing up for SWU3.0, even if I did add UnifiTV back then, the UnifiTV will not be part of the bill waiver or discounts lol. Aren't they separate contracts too?

Damn, I need to wait 2 years till the SWU3.0 contract expires just to get UnifiTV? LMAO
