I just confirmed my order for hubstation, the guy is passing me tomorrow MioTV and Hubstation are targeting at different market. MioTV is more towards the HD side. The speed will depend on your telephone line quality. I went to Taka and saw the demo, **** jialat i tell you. All the HD channels lag until siao......furthermore, you need to get a normal fixed line before you can subscribe to MioTV. If they can resolve the lagging issue, i think it's a good option for HD contents.Hubstation has free 1Mbps internet access. You can actually save quite a lot with this. The downside is, it cost $600 upfront. Unless you sign up 24 months SCV packages, (which only save you $300), you really have to consider if you want to fork up so much for it. I got it at a very good price so to me it's worth it coz there are 16 months free internet access now. SCV has much better programmes compared to MioTV, but starhub really lack of HD contents as of now.And for the rest who are planning to get LCD TV, please consider again, i know the price are very attractive, but all the current channels looks like sai to me......Plasma should be the way to go. However, if you dun mind the poor quality from LCD TV, just go for it bah. If not, get a CRT. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It is connected to a modem supplying 25Mbps to it. the Mio broadband is another thing, but you can share the same modem with the MioTV.3.depending on the numbers of gamers at the same time at your place, if just 1 person, 1Mbps should be more than enough. I didn't play online games for a long long time so my figure may not be accurate 4.I got the hubstation from somebody else, it's 2nd hand but unused.5.check out www.hubstation.com.sg 24 months SCV for 2 years, you need to pay $300+ for it. I think the guy who sold me the box signed up both SCV and Maxonline so he got it for free.6.Starhub states that the free surflite1000 will be free until Dec 2008. So 16 months from next months I am not sure if they would extend it. But it's always good to stay out of contract. I have no contract for everything now Hubstation is mainly a DVR, the internet modem is actually a bonus item....okay, sorry for OT so far too. I didn't have chance to check out LG, I think their graphic processor is quite good too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tingshen 0 Report post Posted August 21, 2007 aiyo, hubstation is running on cable, which is so much faster compared to a telephone line, although dedicated. Yes, the internet and cable are sharing the same green fat pipe, but i doubt it would interfere each other. Unlike MioTV, if you're running the TV, you may not be able to share the modem for internet if you're "heavy" user.yes, call 1630 if you need further explanation I have very limited knowledge compared to those people whose full time job is there to answer queries hehe...

l_club23 0 Report post Posted August 24, 2007 (edited) 1Mbps is insuffucient to play online games. Even more so if the game server isn't located locally.Check the upload speed as well to get an idea. Edited August 24, 2007 by l_club23 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
