UniFi PLUS BOX

Unifi TV via Unifi
TV Box. What
should I do?
To enjoy the best streaming quality for 30Mbps VDSL, we
recommend you to connect your Unifi TV Box with a wired LAN
connection (port 1, 2 or 3). Kindly note that this wired connection
is still running on shared bandwidth with your internet browsing.
It is also advisable to keep the number of connected devices to
the minimum to ensure you have sufficient bandwidth for Unifi TV
streaming via Unifi TV Box.
If Unifi fibre service is already available at your area, we highly
recommend you to upgrade to the plan that suits your broadband
needs.
However, if you are using the older version of Unifi TV Box, simply
connect via IPTV using Ethernet Cable to Port 4-TM Router (if
applicable) to enjoy uninterrupted Unifi TV (Live TV, Catch Up and
U PICK) viewing experience.

I noticed that my
Unifi TV Box
picture quality is
lower as
compared to my
previous Android
box (V8 box).
Why is that so?
The latest Unifi TV Box is running as OTT (over-the-top) box.
Hence, the connectivity is via Wi-Fi.
In the case of wired connectivity via LAN cable, it is on the shared
bandwidth with your internet browsing activity. Thus, the quality
might be compromised. This is in contrast with the V8 Android box
whereby it is running on purely IPTV service with wired dedicated
bandwidth supporting the picture quality.
The comparison for the two boxes is as per table below:
