As mentioned in the thread, this is not IPTV or replace Astro but new home media center to serve different purpose :

1). Play media files MP4, MKV, RMVB and etc with full HD resolution and high quality audio codec, 5.1 or 7.1 channel.

2). Transform your TV became Smart TV to browse Internet or email.

3). Works similarly as Android phone, down load and play Android Apps or Android Games.

4). Airplay the music from iPhone or iPad to your sound system(Hifi/AV receiver)

5). Share files with PC or vice versa.

6). Online streaming movies and dramas such as QVOD & PPTV.

If your purpose none of the above but purely watch online TV then you need to subscribe to cloudtv to watch TV channels. Pls do not get me wrong, we always tell the truth to customer to ensure the right expectation.
