Introducing Yoonic, a broadband based TV service. Users can now watch a wide range of channels for free including FashionTV, RTM1 and RTM2, also programmes like Korean serials such as One Fine Day, Sweet Spy and Sad Love Story, and local shows such as Islam Nusantara and Kota Warisan.

Other contents like CNN, Bloomberg and CNBC are currently being negotiated to make it available on Yoonic.

Currently, there are over 1,000 subscribers and growing. Yoonic is free for now.

PC Requirements:

• .Net Framework 2.0 or above

• Windows Media Player 9 or above

• Latest Adobe Flash Player

• Internet Explorer 6.0 and above

I believe that the channels are being broadcasted from Yoonic’s server in Glenmarie, Shah Alam. I have tested the streaming with Streamyx 384Kbps and some channels works fine while most of it don’t. Yoonic’s recommended streaming speed is at 1Mbps and I do not recommend streaming Yoonic using wireless 3G since this application requires smooth streaming.

In future, Yoonic plans to charge a small access fee to users who wish the use service however there will not be any charges to view the contents. In other words, you pay a small fee and get to access all the channels.

Yoonic is a product of SyQic Capital Sdn Bhd. Based in Malaysia, one of its owner include Jamal Hassim who is the founder, managing director of Channel 9.
