tq dude.. awesome..

Yes.

hi all sifus,

it's interesting to read this post, i'm interested to cut my asstro. it seems the best way to replace it is through Android boxes with a fast internet. I have in mind the MK808 currently, but i have one question: can I use a cheap China tablet to stream video from internet to my tv thru HDMI cable? seems ok right because they all are running Android anyway.

also, one good benefit is a tablet need not use an air mouse, using finger to operate is easier for old and computer-illiterate people isn't it?

would love to hear for advice.........

It's possible if your tablet have an HDMI output. Buy an HDMI cable for specific port (type A,C,D or E), connect to your TV, done!

I think, resolution/picture quality depends on your tablet.

If you don't mind a long cable with delicate connection to your tablet while you lounge on your sofa.

Instead of air mouse, why not try a Bluetooth PC mouse?

yeah the tablet should have a hdmi or mini hdmi port.

yeah it'd be a bit more troublesome. the main issue here is that old people like my parents are computer-illiterate and never know how to use a mouse, so i'm trying to see if my new solution can totally avoid using mouse or not.

another issue is whether it is practical or not to run the tablet for more that 4 hours with an active connection to wifi and TV. Has anyone done it before? Any advice?

for parents..the most better channel is hua hee tai 333...

this thread is about how to avoid asstro la....

4 hours?
Add a power cord too.
Now you have two tethered cables altogether

How about remote control apps to control your Android/HTPC/TV Media Centre?
Check out some of these:-

Remote control apps

I'm using Himedia Q5, and control it using my android phone. If you want to avoid mouse, you can check it out. However, with android box and xbmc, I don't think controlling using a wireless mouse is difficult, even for old people, you just have to set it up so it automatically open the application you want, set some favorite channel and apps and after that its just point and click.

My parent interest in this channel..Zhejiang TV from China. Any idea how to watch it?

Easier way is install sopcast its in cloud channel. Fast and clear video.

You can also watch atv hk, jiangshu , beijing, dongfang etc China satelite tv

try this bro.. the remote seems easy to operate.. not fully android though.. but you can still stream netflix etc..

Roku 1

himedia Q5II better or MK808??

Roku? from your link it seems best to watch us content like NetFlix from it, but how about HK and China TV channels? How easy is it for us to add them?
