Really Kek.
TM say they're triple internet, tv and telephony but won't give STB anymore as if all customers have tablets or prefer to watch on tablets.
Talk cock lah.
Just unbundle lah. Cakap X serupa bkin.

Am using the white Unifi tv box, is there a post talking about how to run amazon prime from the box?
New roadmap post fox channels shutdown is out.
Since i already have Amazon prime subbed, want to see if i can use the tiny white box to play it.

When I discuss and comment this issue at official D+H page and unofficial group been attack by some people. "Call me back to China.", "At Malaysia don't know Bahasa" "Last time tv1,tv2,tv3 only bahasa subtitles now why complaint?"  and alot unpleasant word.
I not rasict but here is Malaysia with different kind of people and language. We pay money for the service and have right to ask.

Like you said, we pay money we can ask for what we want.
Ignore those kataks.

Can - if yr TV isn't ATV, chromecast will do that for u - u buy/pay la...!
i wud think u can get it installed but doesn't work well, can't navigate properly.

becos it was built for ATV and yr white box isn't.

i say that becos my regular android boxes dun work well with unifitv, hard to navigate; only ATV devices incl ATV TVs work well, very well, in fact.
they will let u continue with what hv, no contract.

but u get no new STB, no new router, nothing... like me! biggrin.gif

in biz terms, that's called "harvest" mode. laugh.gif
...
Unifi is pushing us to go ATV, pay/free to use Lionsgate, iQiyi, etc...

Astro will punish u if u use ATV devices becos they dun allow them to work with Astrogo (only certain regular android boxes can work).

I think there is a war going on.. and in any war, civilians become casualties.

perhaps we r revisiting the 80-90s war between VHS and Betamax - one of them will die.

perhaps both will die, something new emerges! tongue.gif

That's why we don't get effective and constructive online discussions everywhere... especially in those fb groups like what you mentioned. That's why I am glad to get to know Lowyat Forum  biggrin.gif
Talking about Chinese subtitles, like for the recent channel launches on Astro, especially HBO Hits, HBO Family, BBC Lifestyle, Paramount...

Some netizens started to make noise on Astro fb page, complaining why those new channels:
- doesn't have Malay subtitles?
- why only Chinese subtitles is available?
- aren't you forget that Bahasa Malaysia is bahasa kebangsaan (national language)?
... and many more unpleasant provoking words.

If you guys still remember many years ago when Astro firstly launches Fox Family Movies channel, they actually offered both English audio and Mandarin audio dub.
Many Malay viewers were outraged on astro fb page, asking why there's Mandarin audio dub but don't have Malay audio dub? And whatever unpleasant provoking words you can think of, they've said it all.
Eventually, Astro removed the Mandarin audio dub on Fox Family Movies channel, therefore until today, Fox Family Movies channel on Astro is only available in English audio.

Back to Unifi TV, BBC Lifestyle channel doesn't offer any subtitle tracks at all.
Is it because they know that since there's only Chinese track available, so to avoid backlash from the Malay community, TM decides not to provide that Chinese subtitle track at all, hence making BBC Lifestyle channel on Unifi TV to have no subtitle track?
Does it means, as long that particular TV channel doesn't Malay subtitles, then they shall not provide Chinese subtitle track regardless, to prevent public backlash?

So what can we conclude here?  sweat.gif

OOT dy.
I am Damn pissed I need to upgrade to Unifi plus to watch Amazon Prime.

oh?

they r still dishing out the white one?

your silver box must be very old, how did u get replacement?
that one not free.

only Lionsgate + 1 from iQiyi, Viu, Simply South or ZEE5 will be free.

good summary:
*
Yup.
I got fed up and complained that the silverbox was laggy ever since the firmware update in 2019, in July 21, they came and i agreed to switch to the white box. I even wrote to MCMC to conplain and to my surprise MCMC got back to me a few days after i agreed to the new white box.
If i can do away with the tv package, i would, because I'm really just watching the tennis and F1 on it.
And just keep the 500mbps line.

"cancel" as in getting unifi price reduced?

current prices are high... unless u r paying very high now, i doubt u can get price reduction by giving up any tv pack.

Paying 169. For ultimate and 500mbps
Since contract is long over, wanna downgrade from ultimate pack.
Already have Netflix and Amazon prime accounts.

There is a reason why ultimate pack have less exclusive channel since most all new channel are belong to aneka/ruby. All I can say is there a plan in work to bring some exclusive movies / variety channel in. But no ETA.

F that shit.
I wanna quit Ultimate and keep my 500mbps.
I already have amazon prime and netlfix.
Ultimate without tennis and F1 isn't worth shit.

this unpleasant issue has a long history... lots of discussion in the main unifi thread going back 3-4 years.

basically, these lower prices came about from free upgrades for the oldest customers.

add on top little napoleon agents doing things on their own and maybe deliberate mistakes - u get a full spectrum of prices and speed and unifitv packs.

if i remember correctly, the champions are those 800mbps at rm149, 500 at 139 and 300 at 129 + all the usual frills.

joy for some, heartache for others - the ultimate TM unifi experience. tongue.gif

Ya lo
I Fing held out for so damned long to go from shitmyx 10 then vip10 then VIP 20 then after my repeated rejections for this and that baru upgrade to VIP 50+Ultimate.

Wanna downgrade the Ultimate package to something else.
The other way is buying a new smart tv with Amazon Prime app.

many have tried, i hv tried! biggrin.gif

they will tell u u can stop using it but they will not reduce net price.

becos net price contains a discount only valid if u have ultimate in it.

so, u can choose another package, no unifitv but u end up paying more on a net basis.

that's why i say they have "grandfathered" deals like yours and mine.
if u want amazon prime, yes, smart ATV TV will do, u need not buy another device.

i will save rm8.90pm next month since i no longer need to pay for iQiyi... i use on my 2 TVs - this app is very smooth, with subs, etc.

amazon prime... i will see... if price is good, maybe.
honestly, i m not unhappy about paying rm179 for 800 mbps as i do use the high speeds quite a bit. + free calls + unifitv... ok. wink.gif

Amazon prime subs price is rm25 ala carte, same as you sub directly.

With model? I prefer LG WebOs TV with magic remote.

Looking at AU and TU8000 series, the more I read about Tizen the more I like it, maybe later go and test drive.
But a new tv is not mission critical right now.
