I was interested in utilizing Mobtv as i'm a steady mediacorp channel 8 viewer and loved to watch the series archived within Mobtv Channel 8 archive section as well as Mobtv Singapore Idol archives. in the begining i was actually hesitant whether to subscribe to the service as it costed $15 (at that time) but there was a Mobtv promo code available and i decided to take up the offer and experienced a free Mobtv trial period of some time to consider judgment.
To be fair, i truly relished the service during the test period and i decided to sign to them for one month package. In the time of first month, i watched Mediacorp shows and series that i had neglected due to lessons. My subscription was finished soon after 30 days and i choose no to continuing the service as i had saved many Mobtv shows for watching and could not finish them yet. Then i attempted to play the videos of a Mobtv series i had downloaded and recognize i could not play it, on that point went a DRM message. For anyone that is unaware of DRM, it is identified as Digital Rights Management.
Basically Mobtv was using DRM to operate whether you could catch the Mobtv shows. In the end i actually lost time storing all the content which was some Gigs in data that i could not watch, i too had to regenerate my subscription just to watch them. if i was aware of this already, i should be more ready and accepting of this unwelcome change. and knocked over.
I browse the forums of Mobtv and seen this was a popular complain by new users of Mobtv. It appears that Mobtv doesn't genuinely send word about the DRM effect and the problems made by it to us until it has became a dilemma and we are left to trip up upon it ourselves. Still i resolved to sign to another three months of subscription due to an promotion offer by Mobtv. Essentially i payed up $30 for the terms of 3 month service since i reckoned i could complete up much of the old Mobtv series and Mobtv shows in the other departments.
In Particular i was caught up in Mobtv Gold as there were early Mobtv Channel 8 Mediacorp shows in there. At this point i realizes two problems, first of all, the series had been deleted away due to what got knew as licensing outcomes. excuse me, but Mediacorp has licensing issues with Mediacorp? I thought it was ridiculous, and i interpreted the regular response of a admin on the board and he or she said something about Mobtv being a separate unit from Mediacorp (BS) and so problems with licensing. I didn't really give care, i realized the mahority didn't as well and actually were full unbelieving with regards to these answers
The bottom line was that I was awaiting refreshing shows and more such shows in the Mobtv Gold department. Apparently due to Mediacorp having troubles receiving licence from itself, me and every other users of Mobtv also fail to see the content called for so frequently. As Well referable to the licencing issues some Mobtv dramas were expiring, This means over again that i gone viewing a series halfway (15 episodes) and could not complete the closing five because it was shot down because of license gone. Any lame stories they are seeking to sell, i am not buying it anymore.
The supporting is bad as well. A competent company which gives care about customer service should have actual human supporting via phone at the Minimal. All i can find is an anonymous moderator on a forum telling me about licencing topics and i also realized that this Mobtv admin on intention avoid the enquirers about licensing issues when individuals actually are suspicious and users point out the flaws in his theories. Users questions to the moderator can also be ignored at times and feel unprofessional impression that the "support forum" is plainly quite an futile.
In sum-up, Mobtv has misplaced my faith in them as i realize recognize if i am not getting any special benefit out of it, i am not gonna drop $15 every monthi prefer to pass it on Cable Box such as Starhub or Miotv. Perhaps i should just invest in a television capturing machine to record shows and watch at my personal pleasing time.. Maybe if i can receive Mobtv free i wouldn't mind utilizing it for fun but they don't even hand Mobtv Promo code anymore so never mind. I'm certain Mobtv Singapore have adequate subscribers who still trust keep on using and choosing them monthly. Not me.
