Spring Moderator September 17, 2013 Share September 17, 2013 I wanted to have another Mio TV set top box for my room but was told by Singtel that I have to subscribe a new line/subscription. This is unlike Starhub where you could pay like $8 to $10 for a slave box and you just need to plug and play in any room you want. Content will of course follow what was subscribed in the main box. Is this true? Have I been taken for a ride?? Someone said that it is because my line is a digital one???? ↡ Advertisement 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If have, then use the second box on the fiber-optic (OpenNet) line .... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dafansu Turbocharged September 17, 2013 Share September 17, 2013 mio tv still using the telephone line and starhub using the old tv line? possible for them to migrate to fibre line? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mllcg 3rd Gear September 17, 2013 Share September 17, 2013 quite a dumb system imo. im sure there is enough bandwidth for the 2nd box. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrianli Hypersonic September 17, 2013 Share September 17, 2013 mio tv still using the telephone line and starhub using the old tv line? possible for them to migrate to fibre line? Me converting my mio to fibre. Here is what the CSO told me the connection will be. My installation date is next month. Open Net -> Fibre -> Modem -> Singtel box -> digital line -> Mio Tv set top box -> Mio tv programs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auto_emocion 2nd Gear September 17, 2013 Share September 17, 2013 Mio HD is running at 12mbps, so a single ADSL line won't be sufficient. If using fibre, shouldnt be an issue. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spring Moderator September 17, 2013 Author Share September 17, 2013 Do you have "OpenNet" installed at home? If have, then use the second box on the fiber-optic (OpenNet) line .... Yes I am using fibre optic. That said, the fibre optic box is connected to the modem who in turn is connected to the set top box. You mean can connect straight to the fibre optic box for the 2nd box??? But then again I don't have a 2nd box to start with. Noob question but is it possible to link a 2nd TV to the same box but of course that would mean 2nd TV has to watch the same programme as the first TV?? 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jman888 Moderator September 17, 2013 Share September 17, 2013 if you are on fiber, you just need to subscribe 2nd mio box connect to the same modem. but you need to lay a lan point in the other room. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a lan point in the other room and as mentioned I'm on fibre but they still told me need a 2nd line but as you have mentioned, I don't think this is required cos the bandwidth for fibre should be enough in my opinion. The other reason they gave was the digital line excuse which I dont quite follow 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adrianli Hypersonic September 18, 2013 Share September 18, 2013 I checked with the CSO about 1 month back, was told still need the telephone line. Yes, the CSO also told me need the digital telephone line coming from the modem. One (digital/analog)telephone line = one Mio tv box If u need second box, u need to subscribe to 2nd telephone line for 2nd Mio tv box. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
