Fibre TV not working

[Alvingoh09]

My fibre TV is not working. It shows "IP address not assigned. Unable to obtain IP address". Reboot many times also same error. Reboot ONT also same problem. Wifi is working fine. Call 1633 but wait forever for customer service to pick up. Really unacceptable! Please follow. Up ASAP!

RESETTING doesn't work , pull downwards fibre cable [yellow] from Terminal Point and take out.

Put back slowly and push it in ,it should work.

Do this if after you off and on ONT and Set-Top and that don't work.

GOOD LUCK

hhow long did it take for SH to solved your problem ? how many times did they replaced the tv box for you ?

[SCY]

i even had the tech come down to my place 3 times and yet still have not solved the problem !! on the third visit, they said will send a SENIOR TECH to resolve the problem ... but all he did was just replaced the box also !!??

everytime they come down , they just replace the tv box and off they go.

when they plug in the new tv box, it works ... but after about 15 to 30 mins later, its back to "no ip address assigned".

my subscription has been down for a week and after 3 visits and 3 box changes, still not solved !!

just an update, my tv problem finally solved after 7 days.

tv came up at night about 9pm +.

SH said it was some issues with their system at their end.

however, it appears that my tv problems are my fault - as depicted by the bill i just received.

I am being charged for service transport and also a full month of Tv subscription although i was only watching a special channel with a black screen with rotating words like " no signal" and "no ip address assigned" for a whole week.

i also found out my VOD channels are also showing "no signal found" when my family members tried to catch up on the missing week of tv programmes.

I guess this is all my fault so i have to accept it ?

@SCY

Able to share publicly what happened since then and whether this issue has been resolved?

I am at my aunties house right now and encountered this issue. They mentioned technician came down once and was able to watch, and today this happened again.

Did a quick Google and saw so many cases of "unable to obtain an IP address", since 2018. Can't believe Starhub didn't clean this up by now...

[SCY]

after 5 days and 3 tv box changes, the last technician finally said that
the problem was with their back-end.

so i was told to wait another 2 days before they resolved the issue at
their end and then my tv was back up again.

but initially after coming back on, it still hung a couple of times which i
still had to reboot the system again.

the thing is that SH does not diagnose what the problem is .... just go for
the simple fix of replacing the box ... which obviously did not solve the
problem.

waste everybody's time.
