We have reached out to TM regarding this and the company confirmed that users are indeed able to utilize Google Play Store to download apps into its new TV box. This is quite a surprise given that such access were not provided to previous unifi TV boxes even though they are powered by Android albeit with customized users interface.
The company responded back by saying Netflix app is not compatible with the unifi Plus Box at the moment and was actually cooperative enough to provide us with a screenshot of the error:
This information is in line with what Netflix has stated in its Help Center. TM didn’t provide any comment on whether it going to fix the incompatibility anytime soon but has stated that it will announce to customers if there are any official changes to unifi Plux Box compatibility with Netflix or other apps and services.
Last not least, we were also informed that the RM 10 monthly fee will only be applicable throughout the duration of the 24-month contract. As per our report yesterday, this fee applies to existing unifi TV customers that want to obtain the new unifi Plus Box without moving to a new package.
