Seriously you are wasting your money with redbean box. Totally lousy.
They got 2 shops in SLS, if that bad how they survive?

I think as long as you don't improve, you will be gone one day. My mum in her 70s just learnt how to use an ipad, smart TV. She realised that it is a new way to watch TV like tvb, toggle, singtel cast. Of course have to put in effort to teach her and answer her questions. Again, we find it happy she is keen to learn. My dad in his late 70s already learn how to use a tablet couple of months back. I think elderly don't mind learning new technology as long as it is not difficult.
To be honest, I don't mind Starhub and Singtel fiber TV. Only issue is a lot of limitation/ restrictions and additional charges
1. Why need their proprietary modem?
2. Why need to charge signup fees?
3. Why cannot design a system more user friendly? Can support multiple devices, rooms (no need long cables and additional devices)
We keep talking about smart nation but which part is smart? China has moved to tv apps (youku, iqiyi, tengxun etc..). I agree they have their limitation but these tech companies are moving in the right direction. I think live TV app (subscription) will come. Someone will eventually disrupt the pay TV. Just like what grab did to the taxi companies.
I always believe if you refuse to change, you will lose all ur clients. But it doesn't matter to those sitting at the top.

all about money.
Haha, you are having issues with StarHub lately, I think you have both StarHub TV and StarHub Go Streaming Box.

I believe HBO Go, Fox+, TVBAnywhere etc are the step in the right direction where the content owner comes out with their respective streaming services. There is more to be done to improve things. For example, I'm still not sure what the contents are in Fox+. And I wish there were separate options just to sign up for National Geographic instead of the entire suite.
So I'm waiting for companies like BBC and Discovery to launch their own VOD services in Spore but frankly, I won't hold my breath.
I agree with much of what you said and really glad that my comments on tech-savvy elderly folks were spot on (too much stereotyping)
I do not really agree that a Grab-like company will come in to disrupt the pay TV industry. ST and SH have a natural barrier to entry from paying all the IP fees.
Is there any companies willing to pay all the IP fees for such a small market like Singapore?
Some companies like Eleven Sports tried to offer an alternative but has not succeed. If they cannot succeed with a relatively attractive content like sports, then what chance is there for the other genre like kids, education, drama etc.

Who cares whether they suffer? Middlemen not needed. Also not efficient.
That should be the main US FOX+ right?
You missed the most important point: Shows may vary from country to country.
So I'm still not sure what show is available on FOX+ Spore.
Anyway, I agree the price is too ex. So not even going to consider.
I agree it is not very clear. The SingTel Cast Fox+ site list the six live TV channels, 3 for sports, 3 for movies. But it is not clear what VOD contents are offered.

Price is high. The supported device list is not bad with both Apple TV and Android TV listed.

News last time when they started to support Android TV in Singapore. The article did mention some of the contents offered.

Probably Disney+ will be good once it is available here. Not so soon though since the first launch will be Nov 2019 for US.
Do we need vpn to watch?
