HELLO !

[sAxman_Returns]

HELLO !
SOMEONE REPLY ??

please call starhub yourself :s22:

[enriqueyang]

starhub recorded advice on the phone would be: "if u experience any connection please disconnect ur router and plug straight to the modem (in this case hubstation)

but u can try it urself again though, it should work like a charm without any problem, unless u have done some tuning or adjusting ur router setting before...

[YorYor]

HELLO !
SOMEONE REPLY ??
That's a really polite way of asking for help.

[Queenstownguy]

Has anyone experienced problem with the remote control? Certain buttons when pressed multiple times will make channel jump. Usually jump to 4 or 5. Damn annoying.

Happens in the Guide mode and when watching current show (after rewinding first).

Ask the service centre in hougang and they say this kind of thing happen one. Software problem. Cannot help it ... Is this a common remote control problem? Any fixes?

[sAxman_Returns]

control got no warranty one lor.... :s22:

[liangtam]

so how? any outcome? I just back from overseas. going to kpkb to Starhub liao.

called them yet?
Actually, I do realise its not just ch55 n 56.
Other channels that I got no signal include: Animal Planet, Discovery, AXN, Hallmark and .......

[Queenstownguy]

control got no warranty one lor.... :s22:
Yeah lor. Damn frustrating. Too cheap to buy new one, but everytime jump channel means real-time recording gone. Wonder if this is common problem or just mine.

[liangtam]

The gd thing is, remote cost $32.10 no matter buy the normal sized digital stb remote or the fat one with qwerty keyboard.

[Queenstownguy]

[liangtam]

keep the remote away for a day lor, if no problem riao buy new remote.

screw tight riao.

[sAxman_Returns]

so now can receive everything already?

[enriqueyang]

starhub finally change my family tier to the new add on channel at last.. but did anyone experience that nat geo wild channel not working?

[liangtam]

so now can receive everything already?

nope. cant

I notice mosaic mode Animax is listed wrongly.

[sAxman_Returns]

think you better call starhub to find out how to resolve it.

[richneo]

nope. cant

I notice mosaic mode Animax is listed wrongly.
i got some channels that suddenly say i did not subscribe but sometimes it have..

[Remember]

Hi guys, got a question.
On my hub station I'm getting 5500+kb/s whereas for my maxonline express 8mbps I'm only getting 10500+kb/s on speedtest.net
Is my express way below speed?
Tried it day and night and I still only manage 10k+kb/s.
It's plug direct to the modem and without router.

[liangtam]

Express ish 8000 reh.
U sure u no see wrong not?

[sailasoh]

Has any one tried using the HubStation in another location, meaning another address? Assuming I leave the smart card inside, will I still get to watch/record stuff like I do in my original location?
(Will be renovating flat for 2 months, thinking of moving the HubStation to my in-laws' place so that we can still watch cable TV while staying there.)

[FireHobbit]

as long the subcription is go where the cable box and card goes...

[Escobar]

i have a question guys

currently i am a subscriber of starhub cable tele and one of the chic from starhub contacted me saying that they will come over to fix the hubstation on friday.

if let say i want to swap from the current one to hub ststion, how much do i have to pay? are there any cost i need to come up with?

[sAxman_Returns]

i think it's still free, coz it's like an additional thing they connect for you for free. The content mapping is done at the SIM card, so as long as the SIM card is not under your name, and within that 1 month, you're fine :D

[liangtam]

There will not be content mapping for trial. the hubstn will seperate n get ultimate pack for a month then nid return liao

Can choose to pay 88 if hubber n wan tie 24mth, 197 if no existing service n wan tie 24mth, OR 600 with a change of 80cent for no contract.

Tried and tested, it works with digital STB, so I presume it will work with hubstation as well.

[sAxman_Returns]

aiya, just buy 2nd hand lar.......

[sAxman_Returns]

well, that's only the results for pinging SG only. The max BT I can hit is only about 256KB/s which translate to 2Mbps......for recent activities.

Seems all hubstn users get diff cap?

[eddy2099sg]

Seems all hubstn users get diff cap?

Well, I don't think that different hubstation has different caps but rather different areas have different number of users which share the big green pipe. The more people tapping on the pipe or the heavier the usage of the users, the lower the speed for each residual user.

I stay in an old housing estate where most of my neighbours are oldies and probably use the internet for emails and very basic stuffs. I doubt my 60 to 80 year old neighbours would do BT or something like that.

[liangtam]

Not really, because the cap in speed is maintained throughout the whole time, which is more of a case where a value is tagged to the particular cpe.
My area is old housing estate also

[FireHobbit]

let see what i get later when I get my hubstation

[FireHobbit]

they just installed... i am going to try it out..

[kennyboy]

no special price after 1 month...still need to pay 100+ with 2 yrs contract.

think use one month and return liao....must not be seduced. :D

[raylimkk]

Hi, I intend to get a new HS @ the promotional price $197 w 2 yrs contract, but understand that we need to pay mthly $8 for mapping but I dun need mapping cause I only 1 2 use the free internet at another rm.. Unless I get the retail price @600 then dun need pay. Why SH so inflexible. Can't they just disable the mapping? Anyway wat the price for 2nd hand set and where can get? Thks :s22:

[faruk55]

so saxman.. can we get the trial again or is it only once u can apply ?
sat will be my last day..

[YorYor]

What mapping? That's strange, I don't have to pay that... traded my analog box in when I bought this. Or is it for a second/Xth digital box because you have existing set-top boxes already?
As for second hand, try checking the garage section, though not many are selling. I for one am a perfectly happy user of the free broadband.

[sAxman_Returns]

raylimkk, I think you can tell starhub not to map anything to it, then you can have it for internet use, remember to remove the HDD (sell it if you want) to save you some electricity.

faruk55, dun get what you mean deneh.....can sexplain a bit?

[luv_boa]

i got it today for the trial. Functions good, tempted me lol but too bad i just sign a 2yr contract a few mths ago. starhub won't let me get it at 200 dollars. so 1 mth later, bb to HS :)

[sAxman_Returns]

1 month later use another family member's name to sign up again lor. then keep on rotating...you will have free SCV forever!!! :s22:

now lesson learnt right? never ever sign up for any contract! I happily jump ship l ike nobody business......

[YorYor]

Would they track by NRIC/residential address? I don't think SH so stupid... ;p

[sAxman_Returns]

let them track lor............... :s22:

[liangtam]

I tried that on rd show last Sunday but they said must pay cause I am using the same hse cable point therefore automatically can watch same SCV prog as current box. Dun understand why can't disable or unmap it, just as u suggested. At present already hav 2 boxes and plus this HS then too costly leh : $4 + $12 + $8mapping = $24 dun mind paying for the 2 boxes cause I watch SCV but HS mainly for surfing in other rm not watching also must pay then I will not consider to buy n sign 2 yrs contract . sianzz think better sw to MIOTV liao.
They told me to pay at retail price $600 just to get free surfing ... must be SEOW!!!!

they let me sign up for the hubstation 2 year contract concurrently

im still considering whether to get it at $19X or not

aiya, there is no such thing. When I bought my hubstation last time, I can choose to map content to it or not. As this is my first box, I opt to map, but I dun need to pay.

If you have a wireless router at home, why not just replace one of your STB and save yourself one of the content mapping fee?

You dun ask those roadshow ginna lar, they are only keen to sign people up with contracts. I still remember first time I called in, they told me get new mobile line and port number from M1 must sign 2 years contract, in the end I kbkp in their CS through email, the corporate sales called in and apologize....

faruk55, dun get what you mean deneh.....can sexplain a bit?

what i am saying is that.. i used your code to get the trial HS for a month right.. now this sat will be the last day..

so can I use your code if that is available to have the trial version again? will that be possible? or they limit one per one house address ?

[faruk55]

at least i can use my HD STB to be used for my parents room when I can re-trial again.. hehe :P

[YorYor]

Yeah, like saxman said, return one of your STBs then. Use the hubstation, and connect a wireless router to it or pull one long cable to your room. Settled!
The good thing about hubstation is the recording... really. Sometimes really not free to watch a watch/serial, just record and watch it during weekends when all other programs are crap.

please report the procedures to return back, if you dun return properly i think they will whack you deep deep onez deneh....

[luv_boa]

im also under contract leh.

[nonpartisannationalist]

I connect RCA cables to a TV tuner and then via USB to my laptop. I can transfer out the stuff I recorded on my HS that way. But still limited to real time.

How I wish the USB port at the back of the HS allowed us to just connect the HS to our PC like an external HDD...

[CrUeL]

any termination fee for this?

so after 1 month can just terminate without any charges?

[sAxman_Returns]

by being a hubber, you're already losing so much to them...$88 is too ex nia.....:s22:

anyway, the remote sometimes not very responsive or over responsive...dunno is it due to the weak batteries :(

[faruk55]

yes.. experience that too.. but they gave a new set of batteries...

[liangtam]

got over responsive meh? that would be good.
The battery cover felt easily broken tho.

[sAxman_Returns]

good ? i dun want to ch 2 become ch 222 leh.....

[liangtam]

so far no have leh.. just nice.
The only thing is hubstn lagging and not responsive, u keep press then really 222, lol.

Still prefer the normal digital stb remote.

Tmr ish must return riao, they still haben call in.

[faruk55]

really? the CSR told me they will call 3 days before the expiry date... well.. so you wanna wait for them or you call them.. as in being pro-active abt it..?

yes.. it does happen on the channel 2 becomes 222 (e.g)

[sAxman_Returns]

i think i played with the normal digital STB remote b4, yah, much better built, but without recording function nia....

Look thru terms and conditions, looks like the referrer also get to benefit with one month free subscription too.

win win for both. ;)

If only they charge lower price for trial users after trial over, then it will be so much better.

they just came today to fix up the hub station.. 1 month free sport channel.. can watch EPL. LOL

[FireHobbit]

shoik right... is a good trial

[faruk55]

so my re-trial rejected eh? it's ok...

But the problem is, SH didn't call me up yet.. as my date due was on Sat 16th... I think I will call them up today to confirm for the collection... I don't want being a fool paying for the channels..

[WaYne900]

so if they nv call up to collect it back, we need to pay for the charges??

[eddy2099sg]

I think they are hoping that with the trial that those who took it would continue using and thus start paying for the fees and thus they would probably expect to come to your door to pick it up. Of course if you no longer want to use the hubstation, you can carry the hubstation back to the Customer service office and stop the trial. It be easier that way.

[sAxman_Returns]

i didn't know they are supposed to collect back. all the while I thought you need to send it back yourself? collection is chargable deneh....

[faruk55]

What I was informed by the CSR was that the SH dude will come down to collect the HS and it is free of charge when my trial was activated.

So I will make a call later to confirm when they will come down to collect. I do not want to pay extra for the channels which I didn't subscribe.

Will update here later after calling them at lunch time..

[faruk55]

called them... they informed me that the relevant party will call me... :P

[faruk55]

the SH CSR called... they will be collecting this wed...

I think you have to call them.. or else no one will call you to arrange to pick it up..

And I am gonna miss the HS dearly... been a good servant in recording good programs..

hi, how can i check the hdd size for the HS?

i was told i can record up to 60hrs.

[tobiko]

it is not size right??

i was told i can record up to 60hrs.

they told me 80hrs. :o

[WaYne900]

as usual.

all the different information

[sAxman_Returns]

all new machines (since 1 yr ago) comes with 160GB. that's enough to house > 80hr 576i recordings :)

older machines (smartTV only comes with 120GB HDD)

[faruk55]

it's 80hrs of recording.. not 60hrs..

[richneo]

the SH CSR called... they will be collecting this wed...

I think you have to call them.. or else no one will call you to arrange to pick it up..

And I am gonna miss the HS dearly... been a good servant in recording good programs..
they called me automatically yesterdae.

the person on the phone ask me not to sign up for it citing that new promo will be out this thur

BUT HS will be on rental basis liaoz

[sAxman_Returns]

must see how much first......that's bad......i doubt the response will be good even if it's on rental basis.....unless they pump the internet speed to the next level :s22:

[go5]

mm...any one hve any problem with the hubstation they install so far??

[liangtam]

Generally, you should not be facing any problems.

Maybe except reboots if you got a refurb sets

can copy out from HS????

[enriqueyang]

u mean the video file? so far as i know cannot.. =(

[sAxman_Returns]

can copy out from HS????

that one ish surflite....

can copy out if you're on ext2 FS if i'm not wrong :D

[enriqueyang]

ext2 fs? what's that?

[richneo]

a form of linux file system

[enriqueyang]

u know how to do that? teach me how to install linux? and go ard extracting file? =p

[faruk55]

installing linux is very very straightforward...
you could try to install Linux Ubuntu 8.0.4 into your windows as a program file and you will be running linux in no time..

perhaps try n connect the HDD into ur PC and see whether you can see that recorded programs

[amazone]

Hi anybody tred using the broadband connection from the hubstation? I find it wierd while downloadin from the same source the rest of the hardware using the same. My connection from the hubstation is much better then my MaxOnline Premium. Anybody tried?

[chinnian]

some of you mentioned that using the HubStation to surf net (even when it's in standby mode) draws too much power?

is there any figures of the diff between using it to surf compared to using the MOL motorola modem?

i'm thinking of terminating my MOL Express and switct to using Hubstaion for surfing.

[sAxman_Returns]

hubstation itself is not drawing much power lar, it's the HDD that's drawing more power than the unit itself. :s22:

[chinnian]

hubstation itself is not drawing much power lar, it's the HDD that's drawing more power than the unit itself. :s22:


thanks, does it mean that if i'm not recording or when it's in standby, it'll draw less power?

[sAxman_Returns]

the HDD is always on recording mode whenever you turn it on, That's how you get the smarTV features. when you turn it off and let it run on standby, it will take a little time to shut down the HDD.

if I dun remember wrongly, it draws below 40W max, and 17W min.

[kawaiiboi]

They SH never call me but when i call them they return to say need to pay 32.10 for collection WTF!

[richneo]

they bill me the ultimate package even after i returned them the hubstation last month

and they charge me for additional set top box too!!!

[kawaiiboi]

they also charged me but i call back KBKB dunno what tricks they are up next.. seems like now adays they got lots of hidden terms and conditions!

[faruk55]

they are supposed to offset the bill on the next billnig cycle. I am currently waiting for my bill. Let's see what's the bill like.

[kawaiiboi]

they are supposed to offset the bill on the next billnig cycle. I am currently waiting for my bill. Let's see what's the bill like.

BTW your hubstation collected FOC or u return yourself?

[trigoz]

they are supposed to offset the bill on the next billnig cycle. I am currently waiting for my bill. Let's see what's the bill like.

Well i faced the same problem as well. After going through the bills with all the off-set figures, i noticed that i will be charged more than what i used to pay.

Called the Customer Service and was advised they will do the necessary changes the next billing and was told to hold the payment. See how its goes.

Guess after the Free Trail is NOT FREE!:s8:

[richneo]

same scenario as u

in fact i was billed 100 over dollars twice

last month and this month they also asked me to hold my payments

[Desmond_]

cannot buy hubstation set only?

[confused]

Cannot at this present time. Maybe later if have promo again.

[win_man]

i just continued my hubstation rental after the trial since it was a brand new set. i was told those rental/used sets have the label and a hole behind the remote control?

[FireHobbit]

[richneo]

same as ur nick

impossible

[liangtam]

Aiyo, mentioned few times le, usb port do nothing. Only can supply power for your laptop cooler

[imp0ssibled]

ok thx......

[eddy2099sg]

Actually if you read the manual, the USB Port is actually the interface to the USB based interface of the cable modem. Most of us would have built-in LAN on our computer now so the USB port is redundant.

[aliensg]

[Lucky123]

Go to Smart TV settings and select Optimize Hardisk.

[outer92]

[phuque99]

if hubstaton hdd spoil, can change hdd by myself?

Have you checked with 1633 yet?

[gilaboyfjs]

if hubstaton hdd spoil, can change hdd by myself?

i think most likely they'll ask u bring back to them for repair or exchange.

[win_man]

Does the starhub bill reflect your hubstation subscription and monthly fee details of $8? Cos mine shows $4 digital STB and its free waiver for many months liao. :s13:

[sAxman_Returns]

[liangtam]

for those who bought the hubstn earlier on

[wlng81]

Has anyone tried connecting a cable modem (its MAC ID has been removed from the Starhub system) to the digital set-top box to watch Demand TV?
Wanted to use this method to subscribe to the Hokkien channel for my dad yesterday but the CSO told me that the subscription would not go through...
Any advise, bros?

[liangtam]

Flexisurf free think no access to vod materials, u can always try connect, no harm doing so.

[wlng81]

Thanks Liangtam for your kind advice! ^_^
But $6.42 per month... Kind of heartache if we do not get to watch the channel eventually.... Haha.

I've got a hubstation to sell.

A german friend of mine purchased it somewhere in Januray 2008 when he was here.
He has went back to Germany and Im stuck with his hubstation to sell.

If anyone interested in buying, PM me.

[cygnus1977]

previously i remember seeing the free 1mbps is ongoing with no expiry, so i thot e hubstation is a gd investment.
now tat i bought, they say free 1mbps is until end of 2009.
hopefully can extend....the free 1mbps

[kun1he2]

They always have an expiry date which had been extended each year. So it is actually a good investment if you don't need high bandwidth, my hubstation literally paid for itself - except that it came with a long contract period.

Same for free calls for Digital Voice, and probably also free incoming for their mobile plans.
... likewise for Singtel, mobile plans with free incoming is now stated as till 31 Dec 2010.

In general, when anyone offers anything for free, there's usually a caveat to remove it.

[WhiteFox]

if i can't record and retrieve the show from HDD

then how do I record and save the show into my com ?

external recorder ? what brand should I be looking at ?

[eddy2099sg]

Well, any brand would do. I am using a Panasonic DVD Recorder and it works great. This is my set up

Hubstation --> DVD Recorder --> TV

This way, you can record any shows from the hubstation to your dvd disk which you can play on the computer.

If you want to bypass the DVD stage, I believe Bizgram does sell external harddisk box which allows you to record directly to harddisk in a format which you can view directly on the pc but as I have not tried them before, I do not know the quality.

The only thing is if you are using the RCA or any higher end connections, you cannot record the Video on Demand shows.

u mean hubstn? u still nid a video capture or tv card with input function

[Innocast]

[Innocast]

can meh? i didnt know leh... how u configure and all one? O.o and ur tv and dvd player is what brand?

u dun know? wols..........no need to configure at all... the controller has button to switch between tv, hubstation and dvd player.........and it can be on any brand...........:s22::s22::s22::s22::s22:

[enriqueyang]

[liangtam]

[GetFuzzy]

Hmmmmm.. Did you guys get a new or old hubstation remote controller? Mine is an old one. lol

[enriqueyang]

i must be having the old one.. sorry innocast.. abit too excited when hearing that the remote can control tv...

[eddy2099sg]

I think for the remote controller to work, the tv must be compatible and probably not all tv brands are compatible to the thomson hubstation.

[Innocast]

I think for the remote controller to work, the tv must be compatible and probably not all tv brands are compatible to the thomson hubstation.
nah.... it is between the controller and the tv and dvd player only.......nothing to do with the box....

it works for all brand......the controller, just like the universal controller u bought outside...........;);););)

[eddy2099sg]

Did not know they supply universal controllers. In any case, it did not work with my Samsung tv or dvd player, just worked with my hubstation.

Incidentally, now SH is doing the beta testing for the 7 days tv guide on the hubstation up from the 3 days.

[fullerms]

First time even I am hearing this. I got my hubstation last year, and the remote is the thick fat one which flips open to reveal a qwerty keyboard. Is this the same?

Bro, can you get a picture of your remote and highlight the button in question?

[leinad]

The newer remote is much smaller and easier to handle. I didn't really like the big fat one.. It's clunky and really uncomfortable.

It's this remote:
http://i40.tinypic.com/2vcztdh.jpg

And yes, I have a Hubstation, not a Hubstation HD.

EDIT: You might be able to see the 3 buttons on top. TV, Starhub and DVD... They are white in colour, and the Starhub button is the SH logo. You will have to program the TV button to your TV, and the DVD button to your DVD Player/recorder. But once programmed, it generally works, with some functions only available on the normal TV remote (eg, Teletext).

yup, this is exactly the one i have..... very nice to use... now i save on two remotes.... for both my dvd and tv......cool........

[win_man]

the new remote still have the qwerty keyboard?

[leinad]

the new remote still have the qwerty keyboard?
Nope.. But I personally don't like the Qwerty on the SH remote... It's not very nice to type with, though it is faster than using the on-screen keyboard.

Then again, I don't really use the keyboard that often.

/Dan

[Innocast]

the new remote still have the qwerty keyboard?

dun have.........

[sAxman_Returns]

qwerty keyboard is kinda useless unless you're using it to send SMS......

today the whole interface become so green....from blue....

[eddy2099sg]

The green interface allows you to record up to 7 days of the program guide instead of 3 days.

[chinnian]

you mean non-HD HubStation now also comes with the universal remote?
i'm gonna check if they allow for exchange using the old chunky one, if not i'm gonna go buy it.

WTF! Why did they give me an old remote control? It's so big and ugly, and comes with dents and scratches. WTF! The new one looks so much better. wtf wtf wtf

[enriqueyang]

i have the big fat ugly remote... when u get the hubstation, they ought to give u brand new remote what.. how can they give u an old one..

[liangtam]

the new remotes only come slightly after the free 1mth hubstn trial

[leinad]

Shall we feedback? My dad's complaining he cannot read the text on green... and I tend to agree - it makes text really difficult to read.

/Dan

[enriqueyang]

they should give up option to "customise and choose color of our interface"...

[Innocast]

You can bring it to StarHub Customer Service Ctr to exchange for the new universal remote. No charge.
You can ask them to give you a copy of the remote manual too. I just changed mine.

[burnout]

After the change to green interface, i sometimes cannot pause or rewind what's showing, the so-called "Live TV". i have to switch to another channel, but that means losing what's buffered.

anyone experience this on their HubStation?
