Using one of the latest prepaid packs from Digi – Digi Prepaid LiVE and Best? If you are, here’s a piece of good news for you. The telco recently upgraded its prepaid packs offering even more than before. The telco is now offering 10GB streaming data on Prepaid Live and unlimited social on Prepaid Best.
When Digi first launched its Prepaid LiVE in August last year, it offered only 8GB of monthly quota for video and music streaming. The telco has just upgraded that offer, giving you 10GB of streaming data; that’s 2.5GB internet weekly to enjoy on your favourite video and music streaming apps including YouTube, iflix, Spotify, Joox and many others. Check out Digi to find out the eligible video and music apps.
It looks like Digi has also removed the limited to individual streaming services as well. Before this, the telco offered 1GB of data each for video and music streaming every week. Now, you get a total of 2.5GB each week to use for video and music streaming.
That’s not all, Digi Prepaid LiVE also offers unlimited calls and SMS to 6 Buddyz (increased from 3 Buddyz before this upgrade), free basic internet (limited to 500MB only), free 100GB of storage on Capture cloud storage service, and Digi LiVE Rewards. Additional terms and conditions apply.
As for Digi Prepaid Best, free unlimited social on Facebook and Twitter. This is available every day and anytime. Other benefits remains the same such as free basic internet, best call and SMS rates to 20 Kawan, and best IDD rates through Telenor friends.
Do note that Digi’s free unlimited social is limited to Facebook and Twitter only. There is a one time activation – just dial *888*1# to activate it. Free basic internet is also limited to 500MB only, and is available for “light version of internet activities such as social text messaging”. Free basic internet is not applicable for tethering or internet calls.
While these are only minor upgrades, it’s good to see Digi moving on with the trend to offer even more to its subscribers without any additional charges. This makes Digi Prepaid one of the most comprehensive prepaid plans available. For example: For RM38/month (InternetPlus plan) with Digi Prepaid LiVE, you get unlimited Facebook, unlimited calls to all networks, and 14GB of data monthly.. Additionally, Digi is currently offering free 3GB data in conjunction with the launch of its new MyDigi app. Find out how to get the free data in our previous post.
Malaysia mobile service provider, U Mobile has partnered WeChat, the communications platform from mainland China that offers messaging, social, games and also payments, to launch two Mini Programs within the WeChat ecosystem.
The two Mini Programs are the WeChat GO Malaysia Mini Program and the Pavilion KL Mini Program.
These two Mini Programs enable a digital travel experience in Malaysia that is curated based on the lifestyle preferences and needs of visitors from mainland China. Another important feature of the Mini Programs is that visitors from mainland China can even pay for services found in the Mini Programs in their home currency, Renminbi (RMB), using the payment function found in the WeChat ecosystem.
The WeChat GO Malaysia Mini Program aims to be a complete travel companion for visitors from mainland China as they are able to search for information on Malaysian attractions, food, culture and shopping venues via an interactive Chinese guide within the Mini Program.
POS Malaysia: Visitors from mainland China can select from a list of postcard designs featuring popular holiday destinations in Malaysia. They can personalise their message and POS Malaysia will print and deliver it to any address in mainland China. These postcards come with track and trace features, as well as unique, destination-specific cancellation marks.
KLIA Express: Book and pay for tickets ahead of the airport transfer train ride. The QR ticket is saved in the Mini Program itself. U Mobile and KLIA Express are also exploring extending the latter’s suite of services to cater better to visitors from mainland China.
TripCarte: Book and pay for tickets to tourist attractions in Malaysia. The QR ticket, which is all that is required to access the attractions, is saved in the Mini Program.
CatchThatBus: Book and pay for bus tickets ahead of the ride. Customers may even select their desired seats on the Mini Program. They will need to show the details of the booking to the staff before boarding.
U Mobile said the WeChat GO Malaysia Mini Program will serve as a key platform to attract inbound visitors from mainland China through a partnership with Tourism Malaysia for ‘Visit Malaysia 2020’. The partnership will see Tourism Malaysia promote the Mini Program to visitors from mainland China as part of its wider ‘Visit Malaysia 2020’ campaign.
The Pavilion KL Mini Program aims to enhance the dining and shopping experience of visitors from mainland China who are visiting Pavilion KL shopping mall. To ensure communication between these visitors and Pavilion KL store merchants is smooth, the Pavilion KL Mini Program is available in two languages – Chinese and English. Below are some key benefits:
Visitors from mainland China may make reservations, order and pay for their meal via the Mini Program at over 30 participating F&B merchants such as The Loaf, DOME, Michelangelo’s, Laduree, Kakiyuki and more.
For retail and fashion stores, visitors from mainland China will be able to order and pay for their choice of merchandise via the Mini Program, and simply collect their purchases from the stores when they are ready, saving the visitors valuable time.
For example, Mercato Supermarket at Pavilion KL even has its own Mini Program within the Pavilion KL Mini Program. The Mercato Mini Program enables visitors from mainland China to purchase popular local products such as instant coffee and durian chocolates and collect them from Mercato Supermarket at Pavilion KL at their convenience.
During the launch event, Wong Heang Tuck, CEO of U Mobile, highlighted the significance of these two Mini Programs. “U Mobile is delighted to be able to strengthen our partnership with WeChat to launch not one, but two Mini Programs. WeChat GO Malaysia Mini Program will become an essential interactive guide for visitors from mainland China for all things Malaysia, whilst the Pavilion KL Mini Program will enhance the dining and shopping experience of these visitors in the mall.”
He added that the benefits are not just for visitors from mainland China. “U Mobile believes that the WeChat GO Malaysia Mini Program, as well as, Pavilion KL Mini Program will be excellent avenues for Malaysian merchants and businesses to reach and engage with visitors from mainland China. Both Mini Programs will help raise their visibility with these visitors and as a result, increase their revenue potential. The Mini Programs also serve as key drivers of tourism growth as they promote Malaysia to be an accessible and attractive tourist destination. We really see the benefits being all round for both visitors as well as locals. Finally, we believe our partnership with WeChat is very in line with the country’s goal of becoming a developed digital economy by encouraging digital entrepreneurship and connectivity.”
The two Mini Programs signify the deepening partnership between U Mobile and WeChat; the first was the launch of the U Mobile WeChat GO Sim in 2017.

Television has changed remarkably over the past few years. It might be time for your viewing habits to change as well. Unless you enjoy paying more than $100 a month for a cable or satellite subscription you only half use, you’re probably considering joining the growing ranks of consumers who have “cut the cord” and are now getting their favorite TV shows, movies and even live sports through the internet and streaming services. Making this change requires some preparation, though. Here’s a step-by-step guide to the cord-cutting process. And once you're set up, hop on over to The New York Times's site Watching for personalized TV and movie recommendations.
What Kind of a Watcher Are You?
Here's our quick take on the streaming services you will need to keep you entertained and whether eliminating cable is right for you.
Here's our quick take on the streaming services you will need to keep you entertained and whether eliminating cable is right for you.
Here’s where it all begins: You’re sick of paying an exorbitant cable or satellite bill, and you have a strong sense that if you just limited your spending to a few streaming subscription services, you would be much more satisfied with your home entertainment experience. So let’s say that you already have a good TV, a speedy internet connection and a set-top box. (If you don’t, we’ll get to that later.) Who gets your money?
The answer to that will depend on what you’re specifically looking for from television. If your answer is “I want it all,” then honestly, you may be better off sticking with cable or satellite, because getting it “all” piecemeal will likely be prohibitively expensive. But if you have particular areas of interest, cord-cutting is definitely feasible and probably cheaper. (More advice on how to cut your bill without fully cutting the cord can be found in this guide from Wirecutter.)
Fill in this blank: “I’m most interested in watching _____.”
Prestige TV - Recent Hit Movies - Arty Movies - British TV - Sports - Reality TV -Classic TV - Classic Movies - News and Politics - Family Entertainment
Made your pick? Now scroll down to find the best services for you:
Prestige TV
Start with Netflix and Amazon Prime Video, tack on an HBO subscription to the latter, and consider paying for the Brit-centric streaming service Acorn as well. You’ll have plenty to watch, all commercial-free, and if you hear a lot of buzz about a show that isn’t available through any of those platforms, you can always pay for them on an episode-by-episode basis from Amazon (or iTunes, Vudu, or whichever digital retailer you prefer).
Once You’re Set Up, You Might Try: “The Crown” (Netflix); “Big Little Lies” (HBO); “Janet King” (Acorn); “Transparent” (Amazon Prime Video)
Recent Hit Movies
Although HBO and Showtime are perhaps better-known these days for original programming, they still show recent theatrical releases, and they make them available through their subscription services. Starz is also excellent for anyone seeking current blockbusters. Consider tacking on a subscription to one, two or all three of these to an Amazon Prime Video account. Video-on-demand rentals are also an option, facilitated by multiple retailers. And if you’re interested in owning digital copies of your movies, the service Movies Anywhere is a helpful way to manage and view your library.
Arty Movies
This one’s easy: Get FilmStruck for sure, and then consider Mubi, Fandor and SundanceNow if you never want to run out of challenging foreign films, indie films and documentaries. And while cinephiles who decry Netflix’s paucity of older movies may be shocked to hear this, that service’s teeming library of recent art films from around the world (in July 2018 they included “Aquarius,” “Nocturama” and “Staying Vertical”) is maybe its best-kept secret.
Foreign TV
In terms of subscriptions, Acorn is an absolute must for anyone who wants to spend hours every day touring around quaint villages and gritty British city streets, enjoying gentle comedy and hard-hitting crime stories alike. But Netflix is also well-stocked with great BBC, ITV and Channel 4 productions, and Sundance Now has been expanding its overseas catalog. Get those three and stay diligent with your PBS app, which makes a lot of its “Masterpiece” productions available for free for a limited time after they air. You could also try BritBox, a streaming service from the BBC and ITV.
Those who want to see non-British foreign television have ample options, too. In addition to the aforementioned Acorn (which also features programs from Canada and Australia, among other countries), both MHz Choice and Walter Presents have well-curated collections of European series, with a particular emphasis on the many great Scandinavian crime dramas. And the increasingly popular TV coming out of South Korea is available on DramaFever, Viki, and Kocowa.
Once You’re Set Up, You Might Try: “Line of Duty” (Acorn); “Prime Suspect” (BritBox); “Call the Midwife,” (Netflix); “Chewing Gum” (Netflix)
Sports
If you’re a baseball fan, get MLB.TV. If you love basketball, get N.B.A. League Pass. If the N.F.L.’s your thing refer to the “A la carte sports” section below, because that one’s complicated. But no matter what sport you love, you’re probably going to need to pony up for a live TV subscription to see everything you want.
The good news is that nearly all of these services offer the ESPN family of networks as standard, at the lowest tier. Many then offer regional Fox Sports channels, and even an array of overseas sports broadcasts. Soccer fanatics should also look into FuboTV, which emphasizes the major sports leagues in general but is particularly generous with international football. Again, be sure to check with the various live TV providers to see what you’re allowed to see in your region and for what price. (If you can afford it, consider Playstation Vue, which offers easy access to the many games streaming every day on ESPN’s website.) ESPN also now offers ESPN+, which features a selection of live games from professional and college sports, along with access to the network's documentary films and some studio content exclusive to the subscription service.
Reality TV
You really don’t need any more than the lowest tier of any of the live TV services (Philo in particular), most of which offer an array of basic cable channels ideal for people who like to watch house-hunting, cooking competitions, travelogues, World War II documentaries and celebrities hanging out at home.
Classic TV
Hulu and CBS All Access are the best places to start here, with Netflix as a potential add-on. You also may want to invest in an antenna to see if you can pick up a local channel that carries MeTV or a similar retro television service. Also, since the Philo live TV service has Nickelodeon and TV Land (and is super-cheap, starting at a bare-bones package for $16 a month), it might be worth subscribing to that as well.
Classic Movies
Some of the live TV services offer Turner Classic Movies as part of the standard package; some put it in one of the pricier tiers. Check the channel packages available in your area, and if you can get one that offers TCM without charging too much, start there, then add Amazon Prime Video and add FilmStruck, which is also strong on foreign classics.
News and Politics
You might think that local news and cable news would be easy to find via your set-top box, but even if you get a live TV subscription, it may be missing your local channels, and it may not have your preferred cable pundits. (Fox News, for example, isn’t available on every service.) Hulu With Live TV will get you a lot of what you need with minimal hassle, but do check out your local line-up on the Hulu website first.
Family Entertainment
Here’s a good place to experiment. Don’t look for a live TV option with Nickelodeon or Disney; instead, make use of the PBS app and YouTube’s kid-friendly channels, which are free. Get a subscription to Boomerang for some classic cartoons, and supplement that with some combination of Netflix, Hulu and Amazon, all of which have some excellent children’s shows.
You just created a video and you’re ready to share it on your website.
So you create a new post in your WordPress dashboard and upload your video to the Media Library.
“Hmm… that’s taking a while to upload,” you think to yourself. But that makes sense. The video is nearly ten minutes in length, and weighs in at more than 100 MB. When the file’s finally finished uploading, you click ‘Publish’ and…
That’s when it starts to go wrong.
Before long, feedback begins to trickle in…
“I tried to watch your video, but it stopped playing after a few seconds.”
“Hey, I see where your video should be, but all I see is a black box.”
“I can’t play your video on my mobile device.”
That’s odd. It worked for you earlier. You visit your site to pull up the video for yourself. This time, the page takes forever to load. Why is your site suddenly so slow? You’ve watched videos on other web sites and never encountered these issues.
We’re Talking About Embedding vs. Self-Hosted Video
Embedding a video is essentially a two-step process.
First, you upload your video file to a third-party video hosting service like YouTube, Vimeo, or Wistia.
Then, you copy the URL to the video and paste it into a post or page on your own WordPress site. The video will appear on your site, wherever you pasted the URL. But the video itself is actually being streamed from the video host’s servers, instead of the web server where your WordPress site is hosted.
Self-hosting means that you upload the video file to the same web server where your WordPress site is hosted, using the built-in file uploader in WordPress… the same way you might upload a photo or image to your site.
With that as background, here are ten reasons you should never upload video files to your own web server — particularly if your site is hosted on a shared server.
1.Server Bandwidth
Video files can be quite large in size. Unlike images—which are typically measured in kilobytes—an HD video file can easily weigh in at more than 100 MB. Now, imagine what will happen to your shared hosting server when dozens of folks attempt to watch the same video at the same time.
Your web hosting provider allocates a certain amount of bandwidth and other resources for each server on their network, based on average traffic rates that do not include serving large media files to hundreds of individuals (or more) at the same time. Too many requests for a single large file will quickly exceed the limits of the web server on which your site is hosted, and bring your site—and any other sites that also “live” on the same server—to its knees.
But you may never even get that far, because of…
2.File Size Limits and Storage Space
Most web hosting providers limit the maximum size of uploaded files to 50 MB or less, prohibiting you from uploading video files that are longer than a few minutes or so in duration. Additionally, large media files may violate the terms of the Acceptable Use Policy with your hosting provider and result in your hosting account being shut down.
If you’re able to upload large video files to your server on a frequent basis, you could eventually exceed the amount of storage space provided by your hosting account, especially if you regularly back up your site. In addition to the amount of disk space your video files will occupy, backups will begin to take significantly longer to execute. More data requires more disk space, and takes more time to backup.
3.Slow-Loading or Freezing Video
If your video file resides on a single server with a limited amount of bandwidth, your audience may experience unexpected pauses while watching your video. It’s annoying. That’s because their computer is waiting for the file to download or stream to their computer. And it gets even worse if they have a slow Internet connection.
4.No Single File Format Standard for Web Video
The current HTML5 draft specification does not specify which video formats browsers should support. As a result, the major web browsers have diverged, each one supporting a different format. Safari will play H.264 (MP4) videos, but not WebM or Ogg. Firefox will play Ogg or WebM videos, but not H.264. Thankfully, Chrome will play all the major video formats, but if you want to ensure your video will play back on all the major web browsers, you’ll have to convert your video into multiple formats: .mp4, .ogv, and .webm
Now you’ve got three different video files to upload, each one potentially hundreds of megabytes in size.
(By the way, just how much bandwidth does your Internet provider allow you to use before imposing bandwidth caps? You may soon find out after you’ve uploaded several gigabytes of video files.)
5.Hope you like converting videos. A lot.
Most of your audience will likely watch your videos from their desktop or laptop with the benefit of a high-speed Internet connection. For those people, you’ll want to stream a large, HD-quality file so they can watch it full-screen if they choose. Generally, this means a 1080p or 720p file at a high streaming bitrate (5000-8000 kbps).
But, you’ll also need to create a smaller, lower-resolution version for mobile devices like phones and tablets, as well as delivery to viewers with slower Internet connections.
Now you’ve got half a dozen or more individual video files to ensure your video can be viewed on all the major web browsers and devices. But how does your site know which of those files to serve to each person?
6.Video Players
A video player is a small piece of web software you install on your site that will automatically detect which device is requesting your video, along with its connection speed, and then deliver the appropriate version to that person.
There are dozens of excellent video players that will handle this task (like Video.js), but WordPress also includes a built-in video player that will eliminate the need for a third-party video plugin. That’s great news! But it gets a bit tricky…
7.Cumbersome Code [or Shortcodes]
Whether you use a third-party plugin or WordPress’ built-in video capabilities, you’ll need to create a bit of code to tell the video player which formats you’ve created, as well as their location on the server. It looks something like this…
Even with the built-in support for video in WordPress, you’ll still need to construct a shortcode like this…
[video width="960" height="540" mp4="movie.mp4" ogv="movie.ogv" webm="movie.webm"]
So now you’ve correctly assembled your shortcode, uploaded all the video files to your server, and you’ve installed a video player to handle all the “behind the scenes” detection and such.
So after all this effort, why does your video look better in some browsers/devices than others?
8.Varying Quality Across Browsers
Remember earlier, when I said you’ll need to convert your videos into nearly half a dozen different formats and sizes? You’ll need a separate application to convert your files into all those formats. There are dozens of video conversion applications to choose from. And you may find that you need more than one to handle conversion into all the various formats.
Unfortunately, every app handles the conversion process in a slightly different way. And that results in varying quality between your video files. Your video may look great as an MP4, but when you view the OGG file in Firefox, your video may look grainy or bitmapped.
Making matters worse, each web browser handles video playback differently. So, the exact same video file may look fantastic in one browser, but horrible in another. I spent countless hours experimenting with the settings in my conversion software, and I never got this dialed in 100%.
9.Loss of Visibility and Traffic
YouTube is the most popular video hosting platform in the world. More importantly, they’re also one of the first places many folks turn when they’re searching for a topic. When you host your video on a third-party site like YouTube or Vimeo, you also benefit from their popularity, and people could find your video—and subsequently, your own site—who otherwise wouldn’t have known your site existed.
Plus, the social sharing features on those services encourage other folks to share your video with their friends and family, increasing your reach.
10.Piracy
If you’re running a membership site with protected video content (like this site), you’ll also need to ensure your video files can’t be downloaded by some nefarious individual and then redistributed illegally on file sharing sites.
One of the many reasons I now use and recommend Vimeo PRO is that you can hide your videos from the public, and then specify a particular domain on which the video may be embedded. This ensures your videos can only be embedded on your own site.
So what’s the best way to add a video to your site?
First, upload your video to a video hosting service, then embed your video into your WordPress post or page.
When people view your page, the video will appear in the location where you pasted the URL. But the video file itself will be streamed from the video host’s servers, as opposed to your own server, where your WordPress site is hosted.
The embedded video player will automatically detect the user’s device, browser, and Internet connection speed, and then serve the appropriate version of the video file to them. Nothing to install on your site. No plugins to keep up to date. No tricky code.
Video hosts also employ massive networks of redundant web servers all around the world. When you upload a video, it is automatically replicated on every server on their content delivery network (CDN), which means when a visitor to your site requests a video, it will be served from the node that is nearest to their location, ensuring smooth playback and an enjoyable viewing experience.
Your viewers will love you.
And your video will be enjoyed the way you intended… no matter which device or browser your viewer chooses.
Why do we recommend Vimeo PRO?
If your videos are of a commercial nature, or if you want to protect your videos, making them available only to a select audience (like a membership site) you’ll want to check out Vimeo PRO.
Vimeo PRO is a completely different service than their standard, free offering. It includes priority uploads and conversion, unlimited bandwidth, advanced statistics on your videos, and more. Best of all, you can specify the domain(s) on which your video may be embedded. This ensures your video only appears on your own website.
Today, I upload my final video file to Vimeo PRO, paste the URL into my WordPress post, and hit publish. Easy.
Vimeo converts my video into all the formats necessary, and their HTML5 embedded player works great across all devices. Their CDN serves streaming video faster than Amazon S3. And my videos look and sound precisely like I intended across all devices.
If you run a membership site, you can hide your videos from the public
Chihiro and her parents are moving to a small Japanese town in the countryside, much to Chihiro's dismay. On the way to their new home, Chihiro's father makes a wrong turn and drives down a lonely one-lane road which dead-ends in front of a tunnel. Her parents decide to stop the car and explore the area. They go through the tunnel and find an abandoned amusement park on the other side, with its own little town. When her parents see a restaurant with great-smelling food but no staff, they decide to eat and pay later. However, Chihiro refuses to eat and decides to explore the theme park a bit more. She meets a boy named Haku who tells her that Chihiro and her parents are in danger, and they must leave immediately. She runs to the restaurant and finds that her parents have turned into pigs. In addition, the theme park turns out to be a town inhabited by demons, spirits, and evil gods. At the center of the town is a bathhouse where these creatures go to relax. The owner of the bathhouse ...Play Videos.
