so i need to pay $3 per mth just to enjoy the unlimited call ?
kinda odd why starhub able to offer free to their own cable tv user for their digitalvoice
while singtel need to pay extra for it too
plus we still ned to pay for our singtel land line haven count in yet too.
so i need to pay extra in the end

suppose to be free actually
in their old mio plan too

so about the miohome voice if i dont opt in for the free unlimited mio voice i just pay for my land line subscriptions.

and if i want the free unlimited voice call i need to pay $3 montly to enjoy it

but odd why mio dont give free unlike starhub digitalvoice
?

for mio home, miotv no need rental fee, it's included.
if you don't opt for unlimited, also no need quarterly fee, it's included in the package.

[pker88]

Btw the mio tv box must u on it to view normal free to air channel
As i know sometimes if u connect a dvd rec or vcr to a tv the recepetion quality suffers too
Will mio tv box suffer?

Mio tv box for tv connect to recevie the tv signal is via our scv coaxial pt or purely from the phone line?

Any issue with mio tv like lag or problem as i want get a lcd tv to pair with mio.

The mei ai drama the pic quality good or like macham vcd quality when view on lcd tv?

[chunxi]

miotv minimum quality is dvd standard
it use your modem, not the tv antenna, thus, the signal is better.
it can connect to your lcd tv via hdmi/component/composite, just like a dvd player.

if you watch ch5/8 on miotv and antenna, there is about 3 seconds lag.

[danzodanzo]

You can start watching 10/15 mins later, so that you can fast forward "live" tv and skip the commercials...
