QUOTE(hsiengloong @ Aug 15 2013, 03:41 PM) How do you access cloudtv on your TV? You need a seperate decoder? In that case, isnt the RM290 +17 (monthly) cheaper? 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...Bro, you have the link for the RM550 gadget? Interested to see what channels they have. THanks! I don't wanna pay for chinese channels since everywhere can see for free... The link to the RM550 Android box+Service i already put the link up there mah.... This post has been edited by Matrix: Aug 15 2013, 03:58 PM |

QUOTE(hsiengloong @ Aug 15 2013, 04:15 PM) 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. Hmm...sure boh? Ok bro. You give a try and then share share with us ok?? Am afraid of those yearly subscription dy cos they arent reliable. Any shit happens, buyer's responsible. 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... |

QUOTE(chris11900 @ Aug 16 2013, 01:12 PM) Hello Bro...I have asked playhub before....see his FB page https://www.facebook.com/pages/TechHub-Asia/140731089311441 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.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. 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.

Yes...it looks complicated...dont understand how It worksthis is really interesting. theoretically...can repackage and install / resell to own gang members... |

QUOTE(hsiengloong @ Aug 16 2013, 03:26 PM) Thanks for the info. How much is it to get all the channels like what has been promoting? Meaning sports, TVB, HBO and etc. Yep. Chinese channels cost usd 5. You just pay online usingI went to the website and it says USD5/month for the chinese package, so i'm assuming its that? Thanks 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... |

QUOTE(strikeuk @ Aug 16 2013, 06:58 PM) 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. 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... sometimes it just stuck at connecting....i'm using Unifi 5mbps package btw This post has been edited by Matrix: Aug 16 2013, 09:37 PM |

QUOTE(vergas @ Aug 19 2013, 09:10 AM) 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 ( - 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.

QUOTE(chris11900 @ Aug 19 2013, 10:56 AM) 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. |
