How do you access cloudtv on your TV? You need a seperate decoder? In that case, isnt the RM290 +17 (monthly) cheaper?

Bro, you have the link for the RM550 gadget? Interested to see what channels they have.

THanks!

I use the RikoMagic 802IV RK3188 Android TV stick. Any Android Box with decent enough processing power can do. No need decoder lar...it's not a satalitte receiver. That RM290 + RM17...i am not sure the details...i suspect only covers the chines channels....the cloudtv charges USD 4.99 for the chinese channels...which works to about rm 16.50...

I don't wanna pay for chinese channels since everywhere can see for free...tongue.gif

The link to the RM550 Android box+Service i already put the link up there mah....

No bro, the RM290 + 17 covers quite a lot of channels, plus VOD as well, thats why i'm keen. Kind of like no need buy dvd.. You might want to check it out tho.

Am afraid of those yearly subscription dy cos they arent reliable. Any shit happens, buyer's responsible.
*
Hmm...sure boh? Ok bro. You give a try and then share share with us ok?? biggrin.gif

Those VOD i have tested..(based on the link provided by the playhub seller)...quality quiet crap one....no point, just make sure the channels got good quality video streaming...

Hello Bro...I have asked playhub before....see his FB page https://www.facebook.com/pages/TechHub-Asia/140731089311441

The RM17 is the premium channels. 290 is free channels plus ...I think an android TV box. I am not even sure what spec is the box.

For me....it's now either cloudTv or this playhub. For now....I am still with netflix.
*
I called the seller, confirmed it's CloudTV they are using. But now no stock. But the pricing is different as the RM 17 covers all the premium channel...maybe they are hardware distributor thus can get special price.

Yes, Android box, what spec dun care, as long as can watch without problems. You don't really need high end specs for streaming those videos.

I think if you register in cloudtv.bz and be a member, can customize package and resell them. thing is...not sure how do you deploy them in via a build in app in a box or just repackage with a customized apk.

this is really interesting. theoretically...can repackage and install / resell to own gang members...

Yes...it looks complicated...dont understand how It works

Thanks for the info. How much is it to get all the channels like what has been promoting? Meaning sports, TVB, HBO and etc.

I went to the website and it says USD5/month for the chinese package, so i'm assuming its that?

Thanks
*
Yep. Chinese channels cost usd 5. You just pay online using
the cloudtv app.

If want all=chinese+english..=usd 7 + usd5=usd 12.

btw, i think I read somewhere you can use 2 devices per license..
if got 2 Android boxes, means can use on 2 tvs...hehe...you
checkb it out...maybe I read wrongly. Means can also watch from
tablet or phone for the 2nd device...

i've used this cloudtv.bz before and bought the all channel subscription, honestly i didn't even bother using it after 2 days. the channels most of the time unwatchable, keep buffering and they are using p2p technology.
sometimes it just stuck at connecting....i'm using Unifi 5mbps package btw
*
Yes, i think the free channels sucks and some can't open at all...but the paid English channels so far are pretty good....Maybe Unifi throttle you...i use TIMES 8Mbps... tongue.gif

For English contents the best is usd8/month Netflix or Hulu plus. All HD quality unless classic titles. Watch on TV over ATV3 1080 playback. Downloading and storing 1080 BR titles is history liao.

Bro, how to do this?? Netflix/Hulu can't be access outside US, you use VPN? Can give more details? How to pay them?? They accept credit card payment from Overseas also?
what is this atv3 thing??? Android box?

Head over to Apple TV thread and you will find loads of info on how to watch netflix or hulu with Apple TV 3.
These are some of the streaming devices that you can use to watch netflix on TV.
ATV3 1080 playback
ATV2 720 playback
Roku3
Playstaton
Wii
Google Chromecast
Some smart TVs.

The cheapest is Google Chromecast @ USD35. But I prefer using ATV3 (RM345) because it mirror my ipad screen, very good 1080 HD quality and I can use ipad as remote control and keyboard.

No need VPN, just change DNS and it's free.

Nah..not interested in AppeTV (i refuse to buy from a company who patent rounded rectangle!!!)...just done some read up...Android also can do. In fact for PC is very easy, just download an extension called Media hints from here

https://mediahint.com/

Install the extension to your Chrome browser...voila can Access Netflix and Hulu liao...no need VPN or what...

@hsiengloong you can check it out the contents. Hulu even allow you to watch some for free...hehe.

Now problem is how to pay...discovered that you can buy Netflix 3 months subscription from amazon...quiet cheap...

http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_i_0_1...ix+subscription

Usd 8....but need shipping dunno how much....stupid ah...just the code only...should just let people download digitally...

Any other ways to easily buy subscriptions??

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).

Rikomagic MK 802 IV

http://www.rikomagic.com/en/product/showpr..._39_pid_19.html

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 ( tongue.gif )
- 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...smile.gif

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.

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.
