1 edit | I have MStar Internet (50/50Mbps) and IPTV As for pricing... I pay $95/mo for the combined service. No matter how you cut it, it is cheaper to go with Utopia. Even if all your getting is basic internet only ($39.95/mo.)
The TV Pricing is comparable to Satalite service. But once you bundle. Again you can't beat the price.
I am not in "Provo" but am on the Utopia network as well as having MStar for my provider.
I would agree with the customer service being and issue as no one ever seems to know what your talking about nor do they even reply to all your emails.
My biggest concern is still the IPTV freezing at least once every 10 min on the higher channels. It can get even worse than that. One night of Tin Man on SciFi was almost unwatchable.
I have two IPTV boxes and have the same issues with both.
I can't get a strait answer from anyone on the cause/solution to my problem... or that there even is a problem! (according to them) |

| Wearing my Turban..... I'm guessing your boxes were made...... by......
Scientific Atlanta?
Well, first of all, they have Atlanta in the name. Not a real strong show of self confidence.
Maybe Scientific Duluth was already taken.
Second, their equipment is designed by retired 419 social engineers from Nigeria.
I can't remember EVER seeing an in-place SA box, that didn't regularly lock up or reset.

Well it's usually either SA or Motorola. Motorola boxes aren't real prizes either. Every 641x box I've had seems to have its own unique set of quirks. Google for said quirks and they're always well documented. That leads you to think "ah, its just a minor problem surely they'll fix with a firmware update" ... but the update never comes.
With these two god awful STB companies having a stranglehold over cable and FIOS markets, it's no wonder the FCC's trying to force a more competitive environment by requiring cable cards. |

No they are dinky little "Amino" box's.

Cant remember the model but they look like the one linked above.
They randomly reboot and are pretty easy to crash. They don't hold more than a day or so worth of programing.
They also have an IR codeset that nothing seems to be able to control. I can't get my ReplayTV to change the channels on it. I have the same problem with my Media Center PC.
If anyone has any ideas how to get the codes for either let me know! |

Re: I have MStar Internet (50/50Mbps) and IPTV The cause of your problem is the Amino 120 HD STB. Have them replace the box with an Amino 500 or Amino 110 and you will see no freezes. These boxes are not HD. But the new HD boxes (not Amino 120) do not freeze at all, but UTOPIA has not purchased any yet!
The Amino 130 or the ADB 5810WX are HD, the ADB is HD/DVR and it does not freeze. The chip set in the Amino 120 is under powered and crap. |
