yes, 1-2 days free trial only.

really, that is the key!

it's ok to muck around with existing equipment - smart androidtv, cheap sticks, hypp stb, old pc, handphones, tablets, etc. to try all kinds of things first - as a learning process. and that can be a very short period.

after that, it's certainly very rewarding to a good androidbox - get all the apps, more stable, more reliable, more versatile.

most impt of all - for continuous learning to keep up.

i see androids advancing at an even quicker pace, will be found in almost anything "electronic smart" soon.



talking of which, my oldest android, almost 3 yrs, is showing signs of fatigue. or maybe i am now used to faster speeds, find it way too slow.

chance coming for me to get a new one.

buffering... happens to ALL channels or just some?

paid one should be good, not much buffering.

free ones - some are fine, some are not.

i used mainly free but get free premium days quite often (becos i sign in all the time).

my experience with this app in the last year has been quite good, incl HD ones, whether free channels or not:

.. ethernet better than wifi.
.. own VPN deos NOT make it better (think it already is on own VPN)
.. new chipsets like android7 better than android5 better than android 4.4.
.. selection of player may make a diff - best to use the native player of the box and not ext like mx.
.. try the other server - u hv choice of 2.

it is indeed frustrating when u can't get to watch something u really want!

afaik, live sports in hd is the most difficult.

which is why i hv multiple sources for the ones i go for - a bit of badminton and soccer.

when all hd means fail, i fall back to the the last resort - astrogo in 480p.

Dunno paid channels.

Free ones, mostly ok.

But yes, lately, some free channels been changing, some dead.

The best player to use is the built in player of cloudtv app.

Go to settings, tick native player.

Also, use ethernet... surely better than wifi.

Lastly, try switching between europe and asia servers.

it is server issue.. Free stuff not always reliable.
Paid subscription will be fine, I believe.
Still some free apps work better than others.
Question is long they work.

Hypp or unifitv, if no cable connection, can use unifi playtv app but quality lower.

Astrogo hd channels are quite good.

U appear v new to android apps.

What device do u hv?

thanks for headsup.

been looking for an updated apk... i was still using 2017!

seems more are now in HD but still laggy for some free channels.

well, it's free... i m not complaining... just use what is good, forget the bad ones.

there are always some other apps that in total give enough to watch.

Moogle Stiltzkin try this new cloudtv apk on yr old box.

as for your other issues with apps not compatible, etc, u should get a new box.

the new boxes are far more capable - i already explained some of that to u in himedia thread.

in addition, yr sharp androidtv can also do some of these newer apps nicely.

just that androidtv may need a bit more work for some apps, video+audio quality may not be as good as a box... depends what box.
