Hi, I have recently gone through the challenge/maze of signing up for tv and internet service here in Singapore. I had heard that Starhub was best overall for TV and Singnet was best for internet, but you should probably just pick one and use it for all. I was all set to get Starhub for everything, when I was told that my apartment was only able to have One-Way cable communications, meaning no internet, no on demand TV, and no digital phone. Frustrated, but kindof understanding the technology I went and signed up for Singnet for internet and got TV and phone thrown in the package. BUT, I still wanted Starhub TV for a better channel selection and still hearing it was better quality. The MIO-TV was free, so whatever. After going through the whole process of signing up for Starhub, at the very end I am told I can't use the DVR box because DVR requires two-way communication. I understand no internet, I understand no on demand. I do not understand no DVR. The shows are recorded locally, what is the two-way part of this. DVR pause button is a marriage saver.
I'm really pretty technical and still can't figure this one out. Is there anyone who can explain this to me or tell me that it can work and how I can convince them to give me a DVR and make it work?
