Can anyone tell me ATV3 still worth to buy? I heard ATV4 is coming on September with apps store.. At the same time can you guys share how you watch extra channels with changing the DNS? I saw many solutions from China website. But i don't think it works here... http://bbs.feng.com/thread-htm-fid-351.html

U buy now, then u can use it now. If u wait till ATV4, then u will have to wait for few months then only can use. And apps store? what u wanted to buy there that u can't use it on ur iPhone or iPad? Personally, I'm not into apps on tv.. unless u can play high quality games on it. hehe.. then can save money buying ps4 or xbox.. but dont think that will come with ATV at this point of time..

Try getting a atv 2 so u can jailbreak it and install xbmc. Otherwise, use airplay then. For xiaomi mibox, u will need to subscribe to china VPN or DNS for consistent quality viewing. Those free DNS can only use for a while then u need to start looking for a new one again. We wrote an article on using DNS but it was deleted by blogspot due to legal matters. Seems like using fake DNS is a illegal things to do..

bought AppleTV last week. Set up the dns & viola ! ... now watching all the series in HD using Netflix. As free dns is not sustainable, gonna flash a dd-wrt router and set my VPN in the long tun.

In Malaysia, it's speed, at least 15mbbs is require for streaming in HD

best way to test (if it's netflix in question) is to search for "Example Short 23.976" and monitor the figures :)
