Will the Fibre Broadband usage affect my TV viewing experience?
StarHub will manage the quality of service from our network to the customer’s home for both TV and broadband services. We will ensure a quality viewing experience is delivered to our customers.
Each set-top box has a dedicated bandwidth and will not be affected by the broadband usage.
Will the delivery of Fibre TV affect the bandwidth of StarHub Fibre Broadband?
Each set-top box on Fibre TV is allocated with sufficient and dedicated bandwidth to ensure quality of service. In our networks, the dedicated bandwidth is added on top of your existing StarHub Fibre Broadband and will not affect the typical surfing speed of StarHub Fibre Broadband.
However, there may be other equipment which you use, which may have bandwidth limitation and such equipment may affect your experience and use of Fibre TV and StarHub Fibre Broadband. If any of your equipment (e.g. router, ONT etc) has such a bandwidth limitation, Fibre TV will be given the priority in bandwidth and you may experience some difference in your use of the StarHub Fibre Broadband service (e.g. surfing of websites).
What is the maximum number of set-top boxes I can subscribe to for Fibre TV?
Each Fibre TV subscription will support a maximum of 4 set-top boxes.
I would like to sign up for more than 4 set-top boxes. How can I do so?
Due to the limitation of dedicated bandwidth per account, each subscription account can sign up to a maximum of 4 set-top boxes per fibre subscription. You may want to consider taking up an additional StarHub Fibre Broadband subscription and Fibre TV subscription if you require more than 4 set-top boxes.
What do I need to be eligible for Fibre TV?
In order to enjoy Fibre TV, subscription to StarHub Fibre Broadband and the relevant HomeHub plan and set-top box would be required.
Will I be able to record my favourite programmes?
Smart TV recording service will be available with a type-approved Digital Video Storage Device. Subscription to Smart TV service at $5.09/month is required.
You will be able to purchase external HDD models from selected StarHub shops. Please note that the external HDD used for recording will be paired to your subscription account, and recordings will not be lost when you swap boxes.

I am an existing Fibre Broadband subscriber from another Service Provider; can I sign up for Fibre TV service?
Yes, however, in order to enjoy Fibre TV, StarHub Fibre Broadband service is required as Fibre Broadband services from other operators are not supported. Hence, you will be required to sign up for StarHub Fibre Broadband service to enjoy Fibre TV.
If my StarHub Fibre Broadband service is suspended, will it affect my viewing of Fibre TV?
No, your Fibre TV service will not be disrupted as the suspension is tied to a particular service in your account.
