To be honest . new unifi plus is superior compared to old white stb.. more stable, (due to better processor, more ram and rom) capable playing 4k video without any problems (maybe my unifi connection 300mbps)..  no need to set up vlan on router to stream videos .. so the new unifi box virtually can be played anywhere (wired or wireless)as long as using sufficient internet speed on any internet providers (tested using Digi 150). So when we balik kampung we can use the unifi plus box with digi for example. 

But some minor drawbacks that might be concerned to some:
1. Remote.. so simple ... no number buttons ..everything relies on on-screen keyboard even if you want to type just the numbers.. but this problem can be solved if you using normal keyboard or even better using wireless 2.4g mini keyboard.
2. For the time being we can't play netflix video even already been installed
3. Interface is quite different compared to old stb.. no mozek interface for channels like old stb.. so you have to push the down button whilst video channel on play .. so it will show channel list at the bottom of the screen based on categories.

BUT (at least for me) the major drawback on the new unifi box .. it unable to handle INTERLACED video sources properly. Most TV stations broadcast their TV channels in interlace mode for example  1080i, 576i/480i  The reasons.. due original source from TV cameras / video cameras are in interlaced. Why interlaced??? Interlaced is technique  to mimic original framerate (25fps / 29.97 fps) to twice the number.. for example 25fps for pal it will look likes as 50fps. An Interlace video comprises 2 video fields in a frame .. so when it plays tv will scan alternately these 2 fields so it will look like the video  shot or play 50fps.. so the video looks fluidly as "real life" especially on moving scenes. This technique was invented a long ago when the tv was introduced.. whty???.. to save bandwidth and crt tube on time time (especially consumer level) unable to play 50 / 60 fps . It still using until now..btw TVs or video cameras nowadays can record or play more than 25fps/30fps e.g 50fps/60fps or as progressive mode that normally refers to 50p or 60p / . So what's the problems.. video is not smooth or fluid as it should be. This due to player just showing or play as progressive mode (remove 1 field out of 2 fields from interlaced video). I have tried to set the video to 108Oi as my TV only normal FHD.. but it does not change. So if the video in interlace mode... video looks blurry and some interlace line artifacts..  BUT the good news is old stb can handle this interleced format as it should be. I've made AB comparison (both using HDMI to 1080.. ) the pld stb plays video more fluidly as at it should be and looks sharp. I've came across 1 member here complaint about the quality of sove channels / video on new unifi box is not good as the old stb.. Yap.. it might be the reason.. FYI if the videos originally shot as progressive like from movies (24fps/25fps) the image quality not much affected.. but If the source is interlaced like live broadcast (e.g sport, football) or even drama series .. you will notice the different  I'm not complaning about overalll quality of the new unfi box.. for me.. this is only my main concern... or may be I've overlooked on the settings for this device. But it should be set as dafault as the old STB. I strongly hope unifi will fix the problem by updating the firmware..etc .. or maybe as mentioned earlier .. I miss somethings on setting..?? smile.gif

Guys, my BTU just decided to die last night. And I am stucked without internet and TV. Anything that I can do? I thought of buying used BTU same model but I have read mixed comment regarding it.

Some said can plug and use the BTU same model since the authentication is via router. While the others said need to configure the BTU and ONU password is required.

I dont know. Anyone experienced before? I can do simple networking setup no problem. MCO is way too long ( expect to extend ) and I need the hyppTV at least.

Unifi Livechat refused to open case for me and told me to wait till MCO ends.

TM has sent me the wifi router, now they provide the Netis DL4480V1.
The internet is little bit smoother now because the Dlink DIR842 already got problem previously.

But this Netis wifi signal really crap... the signal strength detected stronger (3bars, sometimes 4bars) at upstairs than my Asus RT-N14UHP, but actually cannot load the internet at all. My Asus RT-N14UHP still can have around 10Mbps speed although just have 2 bars signal.

Really got to save money to have a better router. Asus AC66U compare to new AC59U, which 1 better?

Cant you just pull a LAN cable from the new netis to upstairs?
then connect back to your old RT-N14UHP and use it as Access Point.
Then you will have awesome connection downstairs and upstairs

why everyone thinks that the Unifi TV is forced on to them?
i think of it as free service.
Buy internet at 179, free TV channels.
OK ma.
the RM 30 is just accounting purpose.

Nobody says my internet is RM 149 top up with RM 30 for TV

Accounting purpose? I wonder what shit is that. It clearly stated for example, RM99 for internet and RM30 for ruby pack. If I can throw that accounting shit then RM99 for internet only why not.

So you prefer it to be RM 129 for internet and RM 0 for Unify TV?

Accounting purpose means inside Unifi have 2 teams
Team 1 internet : have budget of RM 99 to implement new product range, pay staff, maintenance etc.
Team 2 TV : have budget of RM 30 to implement new product range, pay staff, maintenance etc.

that is where they allocate the budget, spending etc.
