Good day,

Anyone here still using good old silver set top box watching Unifi TV? Here's what happenned. Dunno if you guys have same problem.

TM annouce they upgrade STB's OS. Once upgraded, i found that the system lag when changing & manuvering between channel. Like you put in channel number, it take almost 5 second to change. Also, because of this I'm unable to turn off using remote. I have to switch off power. Wifu loves all current channel. Mine is jumbo pack.

If i were you, what do you do?

1. Throw, buy new unifi box from shopee (but not all channel in HD & afraid it will interupt internet speed. Old one use dedicated speed and mostly HD)
2. Throw, buy android box from shopee (lost all wifu favourite channel, not a fan of Netflix Iflix Kodi Spotify)
3. Change plan (totally not like it. Expensive than my current one. RM159 full channel 100mbps)
4. Let it be (which is laggy)

Thanks

yes, what u have is normal... like mine! biggrin.gif

they r trying to force u to pay to get new STB.

i will not... i will just use it as it is until it fails.

the new app is usable on smart ATV... i like this one, use w/o STB... quality is acceptable.

You mean PlayTV? Oh. Can i know :
- any Android TV box can install it? Cause i heard some box didn't get along with Unifi apps
- if I use, does it have all channel as my current package? Mine is full pack
- does it require ID and password? Well you know silver STB don't have such thing

Thanks

TX6 is Android TV box right? Why are you installing playtv@unifi app. Install unifi tv app from playstore instead.

Finally PlayTV can use.

Before this, i unroot but half way. At last I've fully unroot the devices. PlayTV won't work with rooted box so for anyone that want to use Unifi TV on TX6, must unroot first. Go Google it and it will show how to do it.

Yesterday test on monitor. Tonight will plug into TV. Can't wait too for wireless keyboard ordered yesterday smile.gif

Hi all,

Just now i discover that STB silver box O/S now has been switched back to previous version. Now no lag at all and can switch off using remote like normal. I guess TM hear the countless complain about it.

Anyone here that using silver or white STB please try. See if you guys got or not

Hello,
Since yesterday my STB silver did not play any channel. Only can go browse mode. I've restart everything but same. Looks like my STB dying.

Time to switch to android box.

Anyone experience this lately?

Check if your ethernet cable is plugged in securely to the box and router. Did you change any settings on your router? Did TM upgrade your user interface? Try turning off the switch at the back of the box and turning it back on.

All else fails, time to upgrade. Recommend not getting unifi white box because of lack of apps, or unifi Plus Box because no Netflix. Better to get an Android TV like Xiaomi Mi stick/box, and download the unifi TV app there.

Oh. I've switch to android box just now. Had play.tv inside already. Now watching news. I miss my STB. Picture quality are superb than play.tv apps

Now, how do i change channel between channel? Each time i wanna change, need to exit 1st, scrolling up or down then select other channel; which is quite annoying

I would say the silver and white box have better picture quality than Ultra box and play tv bcoz of the dedicated streaming bandwidth (dedicated iptv lan port)

Just curious. Can android tv use that dedicated port?

Sorry, is it Android or Android TV?

If Android (unifi playTV app), when on a channel, click on the three dot menu in the top-right corner and then choose your channel.

If Android TV (unifi TV app), press the right or left button to toggle between channels.

I mentioned there. Android box. Must install playtv 1st

Thanks man.

And I'm always get message "failed to play content". Forced me to exit and go in back into channel.

Some say updated version causing this problem while previous version better.

I google up this problem. Most user posted this problem into Unifi community forum and it seems TM didn't fix it. Like they do not want to help or answer

Fuk this unifi. Now eyeing Astro OTG
