u mean connect direct cable from 2wire to mio box? (paiseh i haven't explored the mio box yet... duno if got the ethernet port to do so)

Can try first..i am using a 5m cable to mio box. Don't have any issues with HD5 and any channel switching or hang.

Make sure you power on the 2wire, then power on the mio.

btw, so assuming if connect direct cable is ok, means it's the comtrend liao la?

my internet seems to be ok. did a speedtest and it's quite zhun at my subscribed speed. ping is abt 50ms. duno if these indicate anything?

u must be slping when installation.

i tink tat comtrend cannot transfer the amount of bandwidth needed for hd5.

but than 1000Mbps aztech homeplug shldnt be a problem liao..

I just got my miotv installed. It is connected using HDMI but I notice slight but obvious flickering especially when looking at words in the substiles and ticker news. When I connect using the 3-colour avi cables, there is hardly any flicker.

Anyone experience the same thing? Isn't HDMI supposed to give better picture quality? Any ways to resolve this? Thanks.

same thing here, flickering is quite obvious when connected with HDMI cable. called singtel technical support, their suggestion is not to use HDMI

Thanks for sharing. I am playing around before I call them. Just tried the component cable (red blue green) and I get the same problem. Only when I use the av cable (red yellow white) I don't get the flickering. But this means I cannot watch HD?

 

[komatineni]

Quite strange.. I've been using with HDMI for some time and no flickering. Also I doubt the SingTel cust care feedback on non using the HDMI..

 

[shioamn]

anyone knows what is the cordless plug provided by singtel?
they say its for wireless connection between mio-box & modem and oso can be used on pc...
is it useful?
i dun wanna pay extra charge for it if it is not optimised....

ONe Very urgent question

when i about to sign up for the MioHome package...the sales person say canot have 2 modems working together.

my house layout is such that the MioTV will be in the living room together with the 2Wire modem that they provide...

I intend to use a normal modem for my broadband in my room. The sales say canot...
how come ah ?

I dun intend to use homeplugs btw...

My room have a phone wall jack just beside my CPU...

because of a single telephone line, you cannot have 2 modems on a single DSL... your modem won't sync.... if you intend to have 2 modems, need 2 tel line... homeplugs are sucky, unless you get the wireless ones called Ruckus... get a dedicated line for your miotv... then your internet 1 line... this way, both wont affect each other...

the home plug is for transfer of data CORDLESSLY through either your power supply or air interface wireless.... mainly meant for MioTv... your internet will lag quite a little if you connect by lan to the other side of the home plug... best is direct ethernet cable from modem to miotv box or pc...

update...

tried again with comtrend this afternoon. modem side swapped 2 sockets, both totally cmi. picture not appearing at all. forever stuck at the mio tv splash screen.

connect via cable direct, flawless. HD5 no problem.

heck, went to sls to find the aztech one. my friend was telling me his aztech 110E and EW is working very well compared to the singtel one (duno his is which one. probably comtrend also).

everywhere only got 110E and EW, dun have the 109EP. i need the a/c bypass cos not enough sockets. in the end managed to find at mediapro. bought 2 x 109EP. came back and tested. perfect! no hiccup at all so far. and HD5 is perfect too!

stupid comtrend. gonna call singtel tomw see whether they can take back and stop charging me $5/mth or not.

 

[liangtam]

can't find 1080i under options. mine has normal, stretch, zoom1, etc. It is set to stretch which fits the screen nicely but if i choose normal, the screen is smaller.

 

[cochran]

Am i able to add in a 2nd tv box? And wats the price will be?

Thanks.
