Anyone realised that the resolution on the UB VOD app is not sharp even if I select Blu Ray quality?
Compared to the EVPad, seems like EVPad is much sharper.

Not sure if its my HDMI cable. Am streaming it to a Sony 65" 4K TV.

Bundled VOD is not the reason to buy these boxes.

60-80% of the money you paid goes to the bundled Live TV.

For VOD, there are plenty of free apps available, many of these free apps have better quality compared to the bundled vod apps from both evpad and ub.

UB have a good selection of live TV channels.
that is the only reason for buying.

one possible cause is the power adaptor failure.

use a multi-meter to check your power supply output to see whether 5v is present.

Thanks Gregory, think you save $268 for me. the default adaptor died as it is super hot.

Hope this explains why the Ubox keep shutdown or Reboot itself the last few weeks.

Sounds like overheating problem.

you can try to verify by opening the case, use a fan to blow the heat sink, to see whether it can solve the problem temporary.

if yes, then you can go for permanent solutions.

is it true that those on Singtel router can't use UBox, since can't change router dns?

NOT TRUE.

Don't need to change DNS for UBOX.

IF you want to change DNS, you can do it on TV Box, don't have to change on the router.

Ublive takes very long to load from the blue screen, sometimes can't even load. Even after loading, some channel will hang and need to switch channel. Anyone knows what can be the issue? Mostly watching tw channel

I am using ubox3, no problem running ublive v2.3.2. In fact all channels are very smooth.

I am using Starhub BB.

If you are not on starhub, you ublive might be blocked by your ISP.

Try setting DNS to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 to see whether can solve the problem.

hi bros/sis,

i'm new to this arena of tv box. why my interest is coming from stxxxxb's recent change of plans, this is for myself and my parents.

there are a few boxes I've shortlisted :
1. ifibre cloud
2. unblock
3. evpad
4. svi

I've made a trip to sim lim yesterday, and realized even more confused as there are so many models even under evpad and svi itself.

thus trying to get some help or advise from you guys, which model is recommended.
thanks.

my recommendation is mibox s.

but if you don't want to install app yourself, then boxes from unblock tech is the way to go. Don't pay extra for lastest model. If you can find gen 4, go for it.

many other brands are not too reliable, instead of spending money/effort to improve the product, they spend money on advertising and getting many agents to boost on internet forum / facebook group . so quite likely you will get distorted information if you surf forum/discussion group/fb group.
