Anyone returned their mio tv box to singpost be4? I remembered i returned mine to singpost at killiney road but they keep insisting it can only be returned at their 3 designated locations but not singpost. When i wanted to renew my plan yest they claimed that they didnt received my set and demanded me to pay the penalty... 1.5 yrs ago how will i still be holding on to the receipt?

Any advice bros?

I returned at killiney singpost. They gave me a receipt and I also checked singtel myaccount a few days later that mio is no longer a service I have. Hope this helps.

i am using power extension sockets, will they work cos its not directly via power lines within the house...

Homeplugs are able to work on power extension sockets, as for my mioTV setup at home the homeplug to my mioTV is connected to the power extension sockets and it works well most of the time.

Yeah terminated but weird that they gave me free 3 months until aug, so i can still enjoy whatever **** i have as long as i return the equipment by that date then they'll terminate the MIO service from there and furthermore i think got bill rebate. Wah terminate got so many goodies lol Dunno i heard wrongly or not but most important is to terminate.

They offered me to keep it for 3 months free but no BPL only some family channels. Set top and subscription all free. I said no thanks cos I don't want to see mio tv anymore. Haha.

Wait...your mio tv is not directly connected wired to your modem? Well I have not known other methods to connect mio tv other than this.

From the info by chakuman at the DVB-T2 thread, he mentioned that Channel 5 (SD) has ceased transmission on its platform..,

Just a note that mioTV has ceased transmission of Channel 5 SD.

and after verifying with the SingTel mioTV GO app(CH9),..

So it appears that SingTel mioTV now only has the HD variant of Channel 5..

Asus router and miotv app

Hi,

Can someone provide information or links on how to get the miotv mobile app to detect the miotv box so that I can use the remote from the app. I am currently using rt-n66u and asus firmware.

Thanks in advance.

 

[chuppachop]

Just click the small remote control icon found on top right when u use the mio TV Go app.

 

[DougHann]

Thanks for the info but the problem I am facing is that app can't detect the box due to the vlan.

Just click the small remote control icon found on top right when u use the mio TV Go app.

Anyone noticed that episodes and movies on mioTV now have 4-figure likes? Think they just added 1 and 0 in front of the actual 2-digit numbers.

Well, 7 weeks have past since this post:
http://forums.hardwarezone.com.sg/85067045-post2116.html

Last week I called 1609 again, this time to order just the World Cup and pay $112.35. Did not want to re-contract 24-months and be stuck with set top box rental. Currently my existing plan come with the HD DVR set top box free rental until Oct, so instead of being tied by the 24-months contract and set top box rental, I want the flexibility to decide in October. I figure if I can re-contract for the next two Oct (it is during the window of one of the show/expo) with free HD DVR, the total cost to me is still cheaper if I just pay for the World Cup now (HD DVR rental is $9.90/mth after a $3 discount for 24 months = $237.60. If no discount is $12.90/month for 24 months = $309.60). If I cannot get a re-contract in Oct with free HD DVR, then I just cancel my Gold Pack. Go back to free Internet streaming, even though very troublesome to find good quality stream consistently, irritating, and low quality stuttering video.

To my surprise this time around, the guy at 1609 after asking me why don't re-contract 24-months and after listening to my explanation said he will check what he can do. Subsequently retention spoke to me and after verifying and listening to me, offered a 24-months re-contract of my existing Gold Pack subscription complete with the free HD DVR rental for the new entire 24-months and free World Cup 2014. This time it is really "everything the same" and I do mean "everything".

SingTel, this is the way to generate customer goodwill. This is a totally different experience compared to 7 weeks ago. Come to think of it, if you offer free rental of HD DVR set-top box to Gold Pack customers and revert to free rental of normal set-top box to Family+ customers, this is one way you can increase your customer base and also not loose your existing customers.

My biggest peeve with Pay-TV is set-top box rental. I hate this piece meal pricing tactics that throw a smoke screen trying to make subscriptions look cheap. Everything should be priced as a total package. If package pricing is reasonable to I take, if not then I leave it.

If I have to pay rental for bus train or taxi in addition to the fare, I won't be their customers. Similarly rental of utensils in the food establishment, rental of seats in cinema, rental of equipment in the barber, etc, etc. Luckily this never catch on.

By the way, World Cup channels on mioTV are 141 and 142. Since yesterday, 141 has started broadcasting past world cup and preview. I think mio Sport 133 also have these contents on demand, if I am not wrong. Did not have the time to check and compare.

Now, to enjoy the World Cup and family bonding time.

You may want to use homeplugs to connect your mioTV to your internet modem. This is my current setup too in my home and works pretty well.

Hi, I am facing buffering/flickering/black out issues whenever I'm watching the HD channels on mio-tv. I'm using the Aztech 500mbps homeplugs connected directly to the wall sockets. Very frustrating especially when watching the world cup channels. Any advice?

That's strange, I'm using Aztech 200Mbps homeplugs but don't experience the issues you are facing with HD channels.
It could be that there are powerline noise in your house wiring or your house wiring is quite old.

If it is indeed due to house wiring issue, what should I do? Subscribing to fibre won't solve the problem as I would still need to route through the homeplugs via the house wiring.

 

[kingcarlos]

somehow my mio tv doesnt have any sound even when max volume. any solution to this?

Home plugs has always been the bane of issues - if ST got pull of using the lower bandwidth Comtrend PLC adaptors - the aztech should be more tolerant.

PLC / Homeplugs has always been subjected to interference from equipment - aircon/refrigerators/pumps/motors - your line may be pretty noisy it seems.

LAN cable has always been best in this situation.

Crazier solution (done it before) 2 APs on bridge mode - linking the STB via wireless to the router - but this involves buying 2 APs and modifying to OpenWRT firmware - which some users might remember the ruckus mediaflex adaptor provided by ST a while back.
