Two questions: wifi hotspot inside car and Astro

[SueLee]

Do you recommend getting the dongle which you plug in inside your car so you can surf the net while inside the car? Is it worth it?

One more: I am planning to "Ubah" my Astro to Unifi TV. I am beginning to hate Astro. Can someone give me feedback such as quality of programmes, cost and service? I like watching comedies, drama and animal shows.

Get Skybox.

Forget Unifi TV. Variety wise Astro is better. There are only two channels in Unifi TV that I'd subscribe, the Syfy channel and the channel that's very similar to AFC but not quite. These two are worth the subscription with maybe BBC.

basically, it just run through with a LAN cable, then the decoder, hence named SkyBox, gets transmission via Astro dish, getting all the channels for free. Monthly fee is only RM60 below i think. Get a stable internet though. ;)

Its not illegal and also is not legal like Forex. :p

Thanks. A friend swears by Unifi. Said it's fast but I never had a chance to watch the TV programmes on her home. Syfy is science fiction, right?

But i still get the issues when it's raining, because its from the dish also.

Unifi TV good during the rain but no channels, and during thunderstorm, i plug out the fibre also.

Oh I think I know what that is. It's not exactly legal because Skybox uses a modified BTU unit from Unifi themselves. You have to be careful because once Astro updates their software it'll render Skybox useless I think.

Yup. Syfy has all the scifi stuff. Supernatural, Arrow, etc.. all the good shows are there.
I swear by Unifi too. I just stream my stuff online, I don't bother with the Unifi TV. They occasionally give you all the channels for free for a month and having browsed through everything, it's seriously lacking in variety compared to Astro. I mean, who the hell has ever heard of NatGeo MTV? No.. there are no animals dancing and singing, it's MTVs like Channel-V. Just weird la.

As for Unifi, if you opt for the 10Mbps line like I have, it's bloody marvelous. Speed is great for my area and downloading has never been this fast. Fastest torrent speed I've ever gotten was 1128kbps which is freaking awesomeeee

I wonder too actually. But, I have been using it for about 2 years now.

Oh, but i turn off the modem just to be safe anyways.

Bro. Izso, TM called to ask me to upgrade to 10Mbps, but no free channels, same as the 5Mbps that I am having now, so I turn them down.
As for Unifi TV that day they gave 1 week free viewing but many channels will have reruns....
I now use Utorrent search and watch all shows online streaming....

Lightning will not go thru' fiber. As for your sets, get UPS and those lightning block/arrestor stuffs.
My PC, modem, phones, LCD all have protection....Not 100%, but so far so good....

For your info, turning it off is not 100% too. When switch is off, the circuit for live is disconnected, but the neutral is still connected. Lightning can strike thru live, neutral and/or earth, so the best is to unplug from the mains...:rolleyes:

Can u pm me how to subscribe to SkyBox ?

Are u sure with internet some more?

For only RM60 ?

 

[p3jal]

unifi channel box i already taken out. means no plug to tv.hehe.channel almost same with astro. =(

 

[quicksilver7]

skybox sounds like it's hacking Astro's network by using the dish (i.e. reception), and C Line (i.e. valid Astro subscription).

when Astro changes that C Line bit, all this will become invalid..

Yes it's hacking.
SkyBox community is quite huge.
I'm not sure where is it from.
But they always update.
Like i said, it's not legal and its not illegal.

It's been around for many many years.
I'm sure there are many lawsuits against them.
