    I am also in the market for a new tv since my current one has got problems with the display.

    What size tv are you guys watching Maige TV on? And what is the quality like?

    I am thinking of buying around 55-60 inches.
    Won't be a problem. I have my Maige hooked up to a new 60" Samsung, streaming quality is excellent. I don't think it is full 1080 but its at least 720. It will vary depending on whether the channel is HD or SD but across the board the quality is pretty high.

    Basic as in what speed line do you have?? Maige recommends you have minimum 5M internet speed.

    @wtbhotia , 7 Mbps adsl pppoe dialup connection. I thought it's the slowest internet they can offer here in HK unless they are still providing that 56k dialup.


    @ daddycool, which server to do speedtest? If doing the test externally out of HK, it's bad. Let me test going out to china unicom servers if i can find it later when i get home.

    Thanks!

    My internet was 6Mbps before as that is the max you can get in villages, my speed test was just hitting the near 5mbps mark for download and I could use maige tv, wasnt always smooth sailing (some channels didnt load or took a little while longer to load), video on demand for the 1st few seconds would stutter but after that it was fine. Now our village has had an upgrade its 30mbps, doesnt seem to be such a big improvement. some channels still dont load Ha Ha

    maybe marketing thing and they just mention it's of 30mb.

    Is it still 5mb recommended with HD3 box?
    I'm thinking of HD3 consuming more bandwidth than the HD2.

    If it stutter just at the beginning when switched channels i can probably live with it but if it stutter every often while watching a single channel then i might just give up and wait until i get better connection.

    Nah I did the download speed test, I get close to 28-29mbps (great for downloading porn), from what I heard the HD2S and the HD3 are very similar, nothing special to want it consume more mbps.
