Jeevindra — Tue, 18 Aug 2020 00:39:38 +0800

Hi I am planning to purchase some elctronic appliaces from USA.
Specifically from this site https://www.bhphotovideo.com/

I know there must be some rules and regulation for electronics purchase from USA but i am not sure where to get the details.

I would like if someone can share their experience on purchasing any electronics goods from USA online and if any import/tax fee needed to be paid.
The products that i would like to buy usually cost about rm300 to rm500. Also if its the same of Amazon/Ebay purchases?

regards,

Change DiGi Wifi Router

Jeevindra — Sat, 11 Apr 2020 05:19:27 +0800

Hi, I am subscribed to DiGi home fiber and I recently bought a new TP-link Deco M4

I want to replace the existing Wifi router (ZTE ZXHN H198A) with the tp-link.

using default settings I was able to set up the wifi but I am not getting internet access.

I believe there is a communication issue between the Modem(ZTE ZXHN F600) and the tp-link using the default settings (dynamic IP and VLANs)

Can someone help me with this issue? Is there something that I need to change manually during the setup?

Thanks in advance

IPTV box recommendation

Jeevindra — Mon, 13 Jan 2020 03:53:31 +0800

I just recently bought a Panasonic smart tv and it has a Panasonic own OS which I find really crap and I'm not even able to download any apps. Only a few downloadable apps.

I am a Malaysian Indian so getting some good reliable steaming services like Hyyptv, Netflix, amazon prime doesn't have proper Indian content as well.

then I heard about this IPTV boxes like the TX6 Smart Android TV Box and many similar like boxes.

They say it comes with 10000 channels and seems like its free which is very odd. How are they getting this free?
And there are so many variants and some require to top up(i don't understand this part) so it made things even difficult.

Basically all I want is a box that streams all Indian channels and English channels. anything more, it's even better. I don't mind paying monthly subscriptions as well but kalau boleh free lah (so Malaysian)

So what are the options available out there? please educate me on how this box works, is there any tweaking that needs to be done? I prefer plug and play. Also nothing app-based like yuptv (i can't download this in my Panasonic tv)

Which Smart TV?

Jeevindra — Fri, 13 Dec 2019 16:23:38 +0800

So I am thinking of getting my very first smart tv (55"). From my budget(around rm3-4k) I narrowed down to 2 tv's

The Panasonic GX800 and Sony XG85/X8500G

feature and spec wise they all look almost the same but that is just in papers. I want to know which is better in terms of display and feature? and if it was you which one you will go for?
I am open to any other brands/models for suggestions as well.

Here is their info from their official site:

Panasonic GX800
