[torrent06]

more data mining and selling... wtf

It is for the purpose of the DTV starter kit so I doubt there will be selling involved.

This is a standard feature (DVR) found in most STB. Just take note that IMDA approved one have copy-protection, meaning recording cannot be play on PC only on the STB itself.

To provide technical support as well as main installer for end-user.

BTW, what's your firmware version?

out of the box

then flashed to latest

quite slack... doesn't even come with V2.0... as usual, so long it's pap runned things, expect there to be levels of incompetence.

and i applied for the box just before cut-off date of 31st July 2019... tsk tsk

 

[albertlee]

out of the box

Your is very new, mine is only v1.2 dated 20180313.

time to update, it's v2.1 now...

there is OTA updates as well, but i guess IMDA never spring for OTA enabled box

Hopefully the download from NMS site is the latest version, tried it before in the past but it turn out to be the same one as what I had!

Not IMDA job to update end-user equipment, even if they really want to implement OTA, it should be Mediacorp job.

This box has no OTA capabilities, it's just firmware options from other boxes running better hardware.

well, at least they did update the firmware when they make new batch order.

V2.1 is the latest one i downloaded from their website, and my box is >180818

you should check... if their >180818 is still V1.3 then something is wrong.

i wonder where all the singapore hackers are at and if there is a custom firmware for this box, that defeats the USB protection so shows can be watched on PC

Should have leh, refer to manual page 10, Firmware Upgrade (via USB or OTA). Maybe the newer one (> 180818) is removed.

In the past (last yr), there is only one firmware file available for download and no mention of serial number as well.

That's why I am still using cheap PRC made STB, less problem and no such protection crap. The NMS is just servicing as backup unit and since it's free.

 

[alvint86]

Anyone has the latest digital channel list? I'm staying at AMK, and can only receive the standard channels

Wanna try using manual tuning my luck

box no wifi/ethernet ports, how to OTA? unless they can push via same signals...

my box not working now... i stepped out, came back and nothing," no signal" on TV

That shouldnt be much of a problem, will be watching on the STB itself anyway

The living room was using the one provided but it just died on me so im looking for a better alternative for my mum.

warranty? exchange? this should not be an out of pocket expense

weird, now my box only works on an older 1-hdmi tv, now the 2-hdmi tv which i flashed the update on is "no signal" using HDMI cable out of box.

OTA = Over The Air, meaning STB scan the broadcast signal for new firmware upgrade.

Even my cheap K2/K3 STB has this feature.

 

[Durian Shell]

For sw version 1.2, the Firmware Upgrade (Via USB) and Safely remove USB device
is gray off. Who can upgrade FW via USB?

digital tv board casting data can support OTA?

 

[SkimMilk]

Just found out that the free STB deadline has been extended so I am eligible to get a box now.

Question: do I go for the NewMedia box or opt for the voucher and get the Draco instead?
What's the difference between the DSC250 and ANT900 antennas for the Draco?
