Starhub Free viewing

[Adrianli]

As I mentioned previously, I’m more into sports n so from sports perspective, Mio channels have gone backwards for sure. They used to show La Liga games n now no more for 1-2 yrs already. Celtic v Rangers n Championship games have also been removed progressively, this is on top of the previously mentioned Eurosports n Setanta.

 

For me, all the sports i wana watch still available. BPL, F1, Formula E, Powerboat and UFC. Also the occasional Asian Festival of speed, watching those small cc motorcycle race around asian circuits.

plugged the set in for 2 two weeks sparingly ... after that just unplugged it and wait for the next 23.5 months to pass by before returning it.

Was a StarHub TV customer for many many years. Just switched to singtel TV only a month back. Been enjoying free channels since then.

I am not into this air transmission and digit TV thing. I know tax payers pay for the running of SCV cables for the entire island some years back. Signal are being transmitted via cable to homes.

 

Why now got this digital thing that we must change TV leh? Once upon a time we received from this SCV cable why cannot use leh?

My home has SH cable TV.

Internet using Singnet.  Phone line using Singtel.

The option of phone line separating from internet was given when installing the Singnet fiber plan few years ago.

Told Singtel staff that the home phone need to work even if internet not working.

Phone charges would only incur if make/receive calls. No quarterly line charges.

Didn't study how they install the wiring.

Now I have a better understanding of the set-up. Thanks for the diagram.

Wah lau so if I have 3 set top boxes in different rooms, need to pull 3 network cables to each room?

[Adrianli]

I think Starhub is doing away cable because lots of abuse, thus they losing a lot of business.

 

1. Chiong cable box that able to illegally decode.

2. 1 person subscribe with multiple boxes and share with relatives.

 

 

With fibre, they eradicate above both scenarios.

My experience with the cable box was good and it was very smooth and fast to use.

 

The fiber box that I now have is like shit. Laggy and got to wait for a few seconds after pressing the remote button then the TV program moves.

my colleague uses option 2 ... not illegal, but ....

 

he sub 3 set-tops at with all the channels @ 1 price + pay the fees for the 3 boxes and then share with his relatives !!

i am guessing SH might come up with wifi-transmission and decoding soon to eliminate the cabling issue.
