Unifi TV is an IPTV service operated byTelekom Malaysia. It was launched in 2010 as part of TM's bundled Triple-play service offering of VoIP Telephone, Internet and IPTV called Unifi.
History
On 10 January 2018, as part of the true convergence initiative by TM, HyppTV and HyppTV Everywhere are relaunched as unifi TV and unifi playTV respectively. Since the unifi TV relaunch, everything remains the same for the service except its logo and its interactive apps. Besides the change in its logo, the rebranding exercise will be done in phases. One of the unifi TV Interactive apps, which is Flight Info and 2 Video Guides is not changing its logo. Beginning in January 2019, TM have stopped offering free unifi TV set-top boxes for new unifi Home and broadband customers and instead providing with unifi TV ID for unifi playTV due to changing consumer behaviour of watching television programs on the go and rising trends of OTT services. However, this may resulting new unifi TV users were unable to enjoy additional benefits that the unifi TV set-top box have such as improved visual quality, watching channels exclusive to STB.
Services
The service is being offered to residential and business customers in Malaysia over an optical fiber network via Fiber to the Home for landed properties and VDSL2 for high rise properties. This IPTV service was later offered to StreamyxADSL2+ customers. However, due to the technical limitations of ADSL on copper line, certain features like picture-in-picture and high-definition available to unifi customers are not available for Streamyx customers. The bandwidth is also shared for both Internet and IPTV for Streamyx customers. The IPTV service is also available to all mobile device subscribers with the unifi playTV app for Android and iOS. Each unifi TV subscriber is entitled to two free mobile devices for watching, and customers are free to sign up for extra packages on an à-la-carte basis. A specially-priced data plan may be purchased from several telcos to ensure watching shows doesn't drain the data quota of the phone.
