Default mio tv setup box ? any alternatives

hi sifus,

can anyone advise on whether there is an alternative to the mio tv setup box supplied by singtel and can just get the foc channels 5,8,u,cna ?

I subscribed to singtel home bundle broadband , which was sold to be as a composition of internet, free landline and free tv channels , if I don't upsize.

My contract is till due in 2019, but singtel tells me I need to pay rental after may ends 2018 ( out of sync with my contract). Altho only 4 bucks but not sure why it is chargeable as my contract came with free router, modem, onr and of course the mio setup box to get tv, and my bill says my free 24 mths rental is up, altho my contract of 24 mths is due 2019?

called singtel few x but they insisted it is chargeable

thnnks

Can get an antenna for local channels if your TV can support digital signal.

The box is just like a mini processor... it's the apps inside.

There are some that requires subscription - eg Netflix and if the vendor had sold you a version that's a "cracked" copy - tat is illegal.

For local shows - can always dl the toggle app - that will allow you to watch local productions

Should be built in digital signal receiver. If your TV is digital ready, get an antenna will do. Then scan for the channels.
