Official MIO TV Thread.......

Cos now the cable is directly hooked from the comtrend to my mioTV, so I'm thinking if I were to add a switch in between, will it affect the connection?

 

[alanchia67]

what other devices you want to put behind this switch together with miotv?

 

[bryant_16]

Oh... another cable to my xbox 360, another one to my laptop which is bittorrent as well as web surfing.

 

[alanchia67]

your laptop is currently on wireless? not sure how heavy the torrent bandwidth requires.

 

[bryant_16]

Yeah, currently my laptop is on wireless and wants it to be stable for torrent that's why want to hook a cable to it.

Hook idling xbox is ok, but laptop is not.

 

[bryant_16]

why laptop is not? can share about it? thnx!

 

[alanchia67]

your laptop with torrent client will consume most of the bandwidth, depending on situation.

no hate or anything... but why isit so hard for some people's minds to process the fact that with torrent, your internet slows or wont even load(if you're using the mio modem only) due to the fact that bw is taken by torrent? i've known friends who are so persistent and blame isps for their slow internet whilst they are downloading media on mega fast speeds.. how to get it to their heads? anyone got any idea?

 

[bryant_16]

I see. if thats the case, if without torrent, just normal surfing, is it oki?

Shld be ok
But Active/Streaming Xbox is not okay either...

There is a very high chance not enough b/w, since nobody knows how you connect it and conditions present.
It will be good for gaming tho.

 

[alanchia67]

normal surfing - stick to wifi on your laptop. more comfortable right?

yes please... dont bt and say you're lacking bandwidth... i noted the difference when bt-ing and not bt-ing when streaming youtube... the page won't even load half... but my HD movie downloaded quite fast though.. LOL.... so just bear this in mind... BT = slow/no loading of webpages... for those using MIO modem ONLY...

What do u guys think about the below ?

house A subscribed to ( MIO Plan ie: MIO voice + internet )

house B subscribed to ( MIO Home ie: MIO TV + internet )

If i bring House A MIO 2 Wire modem to house B without tweaking and Config or change user IDs , will the MIO voice work at house B ?


If i bring House B MIO 2 Wire modem to house A without tweaking and Config or change user IDs , will the MIO TV work at house A ?

 

[alanchia67]

you can move about the 2wire modems. bear in mind the line speeds may be different for the 2 houses (let say one is 3Mbps, one is 25Mbps). by bringing the modem which had higher speed plan to a house which didnt enable for the high speed will get what ever physical line speed which is limited.

i cant remember regarding miotv, the provisioning is at MAC level i think. but then miotv uses a different pvc, thus if the other line hasnt been enabled for miotv (using the different pvc) i doubt it will work. this one, really not sure. anyone else can comment?

likewise for miovoice, i belief it uses yet another pvc.

yes.... the internet will be workable...

but your landline DSL already has a profiling set... if the dsl has miov, then only miov for that house... if miotv enabled, then only miotv for the house... it's like changing a modem when it's faulty, changing to a better modem doesn't mean you get more bandwidth right? same thing.

it's the dsl which is controlled by exhcnages. The route of advancement for your dsl travels from the mdf to the dp to in your house... so despite changing the modem with same config, you will not be getting miov on house b or miotv on house a... internet ONLY will work... and your internet will be based on the dsl subscribed:10mbps etc..

tested and proven first hand...

one more thing, if you note down the link tree on MDC of the 2wire, if a house has miov, it will have ipnet4 up... a house without miovoice will not have ipnet4 up... it will say down instead...

 

[bryant_16]

so you are saying that, bting will affect my miotv streaming right?

Version 6 Firmware of 2WIRE hard to go inside of mdc...... how to see IPNET4....... Think about it...... Even if it show IPNET 4 UP, sometimes Voice also not up......
