Woo! Hoo! After much hard work i have found the holy grail!!!

Now i am watching Netflix on my PC and el-cheapo Android Box....

To hell with CloudTV....Netflix is Nirvana!!!! (and i get a free 1 month for Netflix... ).

No need Apple TV. I have the Secret Recipe.....hahahahahaha.

Ciao...later i post videos maybe...

I am using Unotelly for Global DNS. Then register Netflix online with malaysian credit card.
Cheaper way is buy the coupon....I have yet to buy it.

What cheapo Android box are you using, can share here?

Actually, it's not that cheap...LOL....RM299 + RM99 for the airmouse. (But airmouse you can use for other boxes as well).

Pros:
- More RAM than most competition (2GB RAM vs 512MB/1GB RAM)
- More storage than most competition (8GB vs 4GB)...but take note the app partition still stuck as 2GB.
- Mini and cute ( )
- quiet stable (last two days watch Netflix marathon, didn't crash on me once....easily exceed 7 hours usage per run).
- Decent performance

Cons:
- No built in LAN port due to mini size.
- Maybe can be cheaper for a China product???

I think most Android boxes should work. But at least, this one confirmed can work...

But the streaming still loses out to the PC in terms of quality, sometimes video quality downgrade can ocur (it doesn't stop to buffer, you will see blocky video instead) due to maybe wifi problem or what i dunno and frames can jump a little bit once in a while. BUt it is not a frequent occasion. Not enough to disturb your viewing experience. Overall still very satisfied with the experience.

Btw, share a tip. Netflix for Windows 8 (from the Appstore) suppors Dolby Digital 5.1!!! So if you are audio maniac and want 5.1 sound, you can hook up a windows 8 pc to your TV and route the audio to an AVR (though i haven't try it), or just just the PC speaker sets.

Units get hot when operate within 1~2 hours of heavy streaming? the performance of chip might be compromised if this happened

Yes. Definitely hot. But like I said earlier, performance is generally satisfactory except for a few minor occassion.
what I understand is this box use a 28nm chip, hence less heat and can pack into small form factor. Most standard
bigger android box still use 40nm chip. So you can use
this as a criteria when hunting an android box.

Thanks for the advice dude.

I suppose....you did not go for the playhub thing with thier own box... :-)

No need already...what for ...Chinese tv can get free easily.
NETFLIX have more movies than I have tine to watch...somemore quality way better!!! But I will probably still miss some NatGeo channels...although Netflix does have documentaries as well.
btw, the cloud tv runs pretty unstable on my android box,
as it is not officially supported can crash aand restart the android tv quiey frequenty when selecting certain channels.

Cloud tv is totally sucks buffering, poor video, pixel etc not recommended to subscribe their package. I stick to xbmc.

English channels quiet ok. Not much buffering issues.
naybe its your internet?? Xbmc ..all I find is rubbish..I tried
all the what icefilm, navi x etc, like searching needle in haystack...just pay a bit of money for netflix or hulu..all problem solved.

Cloud tV android app one or the playhub guy one?

What you need is basically very simple:
1. Fast internet (5Mbps and above recommended)
2. Android Box (most box should be able to do)
3. Pay for a DNS service (about USD 5/month) If you search hard enough, probably can get free.
4. Pay for Netflix and/or Hulu (USD 8/month each). If you feel rich, subscribe both lor...LOL.
5. (Maybe optional for Netflix) A virtual US credit card or US PayPal account.
6. The Netflix apk (cannot download from Play Store, must get it elsewhere from internet).

one problem with netflix is you will be overwhelmed by the amount of movies/shows to watch. and the movies/shows suggestion by netflix is not usually what i like watching

Just wonder, I can watch 翡翠台高清 using 风云直播， then why need to paying cloudtv every month?

English channels in English audio dude. Those free stuff are also largely unstable. And a lot of people don't understand chinese with all those complicated wordings...where to press also problem.

cool thk for review. yes We selling Rk 802 IV 2GB Quadcore..

Pls PM me price for 808IV ..also you have tronsmart brand quadcore MK908?

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH. +1

When you say unstable do you mean it is different when watching 翡翠台 using 风云直播 and cloudtv? CloudTv is more stable without lagging? I know watching 翡翠台 using 风云直播 is very lag....
