Hi Sifu,

Anyone try before the CloudTV for Android? Is it good? Can it replace skybox which cost about rm50 per month now.

CloudTV is only USD 4.99, about RM15 per month only.

Any cheapest Android Media Player work well with this?

Mind sharing?

Try Himedia dongle Q4. I am using it. Smooth video playback.

Be noted it is single core though & many ppl may not b comfortable with it esp with so many newer duo or quad core dongle.

hi susa,

thanks to your posts, i spent the last couple of hours reading and discovering what this android tv, xbmc, etc. is all about.

very interesting, looks like a whole new world to explore!

i have been using a full media player and astro for some years now. just checking if it is time to dump astro and go android tv.

i have 10mb speed, wifi, can do direct lan cable to a new device.

can i check with you:

1.. i installed xbmc on pc windows form here:
http://xbmc.org/download/
is this different from the xbmc remote u mentioned?

2.. my pc is on wifi. tried a few video stations - some like foodnetwork got file errors, 1 station hanged, others like youtube and al jazeera ok but resolution is poor. one 720p aac site video ok. are more of the available stations of this quality? or if i use an android tv, can get a lot more hd ones? would audio be at best aac or ac3/dts possible?

3.. android tv - himedia models: for 10mb lan connection, which model is best? dun want 3d but would like highest grade video and decent audio.

4.. i forsee getting a model that's great for hollywood/chinese tv series, cartoons/animation for kids, youtube, i.e. forget astro. hd movies, etc. i am happy with my pc and media player method.

5. xbmc looks fine. is netflix and others similar, good for android tv like himedia? where does apple tv come in here?

thank you for your comments in advance.

thanks for the tip, impt. was wondering why chinese the titles dun come up!
somehow i was able to load a repositry and get the addons, can't remember how!

so far, maybe i am used to hd, i find the video not good enough - when it shows sd or 720p.
perhpas i am missing something... any tip to deal with this? will it be better with android tv and not pc?

susa's steps are good, just you follow step by step. since i found his posts very useful, u can this summary below. one thing... i dont know what min speed is reqd but think if <5mb, can't stream properly. 1-2mb, probably nothing...?

for testing xbmc on pc before you buy android tv box for tv:

1.. dwnld the right version for yr pc
http://xbmc.org/download/

2.. watch these videos, 2nd 3rd ones very impt for installation of "search engines" and addons. for testing, i think fusion and then navi-x will do.

3. if happy with the xbmc test on pc, decide which box u wan to get for yr tv:

1.. dwnld the right version for yr pc
http://xbmc.org/download/

2.. watch these videos, 2nd 3rd ones very impt for installation of "search engines" and addons. for testing, i think fusion and then navi-x will do.

3. if happy with the xbmc test on pc, decide which box u wan to get for yr tv:

NETFLIX of course way superior. It is a paid service. XBMC is a repository of pirated videos...you should be able to guess which one has better user experience and reliability.

CloudTV is ok, and is suitable for Chinese stuff. Personally, i find XBMC as a good complement to NETFLIX, for watching latest TV seasons. For everything else, NETFLIX is still the place i would go...nothing like just click the movie i want, read synopysis and play.

It's a single plan. USD 7.99/mth, pay by credit card monthly. No other fees except if you use a virtual credit card, there is a slight overhead charge, no big deal..but if you can buy some Netflix gift codes, you might be able to get cheaper. 10Mbs is more than enough. Netflix use 1-3 Mbps on average. Audio is normal stereo. To get 5.1 DD (and not all shows has them), currently i think only Netflix on Windows 8 can do that. Seriously, don't expect bluray quality here. The internet doesn't have the bandwidth to stream 30-40Mbps bitrate videos everywhere. For big blockbuster, i still download bluray rips with high quality sampling rates and dts/dd soundtrack to play over my 5.1 system.

Cloudtv, some channels are good, some quality are crap and some don't even work. But for that price, if you enjoy those chinese stuff, ok lar.

tq for comments, appreciate it.

given wat u described, probably no point getting an expensive android box, an average one will do. will check the shop and demo soon.

just thought it'll be good to have streaming for latest tv shows incl chinese/hk, some cartoons, news and sports... eventually dump astro.

yep, for blockbusters on 5.1/7.1, nothing less than br/dtshdma!

tq. u have been very helpful! thumbup.gif

i tried some chinese ones. 1channel is good.
think i now got the hang of xbmc. for a free app, it's very good, can't complain. but not good enough for the more demanding enthusiasts...
will have to see demo how good netflix and cloudtv are.

the technology now is still somewhat infant, imo. but good enough for short clips, small displays.
in 5 yrs time, likely most good files can be streamed nicely!
so, dwnlding the old fahsioned way to playback on media player is superior at this time, particularly the huge files.

i tried it, free trial 1 day...

.. cloudtv is very stable, much more so that the free ones incl xbmc.
.. lots of chinese stuff, possible all the tv stations of china are in there!
.. hd channels... some are quite good, i.e. 480p-720p, some are not hd as stated.
.. if u watch a lot of chinese stuff, well worth it.
.. there are some free channels but are limited, not much.

xbmc can be complicated for a new user.
essentially it is a free platform for u to install "add ons" or channels onto adroid tv boxes (or pc for testing).
not easy to explain as it takes a bit of hands-on time to get to know how to do it.
some posts made on it earlier in the thread.
best to search the posts, read google/utube to watch some videos.

I was told that Cloud TV is using P2P technology, meaning the more people watching the same channel using the same ISP network, the more smoother playback it will be.

I still haven't decided to upgrade to any fibre ISP provider yet, can any CloudTV users who are using Maxis, Unifi or Time share their watching experience during peak hour?

I was told that during peak hour 8:00pm - 10pm, Hong Kong TVB Jade may have a lot of buffering.

Can anyone confirm on this?

Thanks.

I might be wrong but I think it buffers when too many or too few people watching a particular channel. Not only TVB Jade but applies to all channels, e.g during the airing of Triumph in the Skies 2, it buffered a lot, sometimes the whole episode couldn't be watched. There is a CloudTv Forum "http://cloudtv.bz/forum/" where you can read what other users are saying about the apps.

One thing good about CloudTv is the interface is in English. So for Non Chinese educated users, it is friendly.

My advice just download and try out the Premium package at USD4.99 for one month...judge it for yourself.

Which part of mash up you feel is good bro?

I've install xfinity as below, not sure whether its still working. Anyway, I remove it few days after, I find xfinity too annoying, too much addon and seems to have like and advertisement screen.

QUOTE(y2k @ Oct 30 2013, 09:38 AM)
Concise guide:
1. Download official XBMC and install.
2. In XBMC, go to "File Manager" under the System tab.
3. Select "Add Source"
4. Input: "http:// xfinity.xbmctalk.com"
5. Add name: "xunity" or whatever you want.
6. In XBMC main screen, go to System, select Add-Ons, then select "Install from zip file"
7. Select the talk wizard zip file.
8. After it is installed, you should be able to see the TalkWizard add-on under the Video Add-ons.
9. Run it, it should ask if you want to install all goodies etc.
10. Press Yes and wait for it to complete.
11. After completion, you should be able to find the add-ons.

Happy viewing!

mash up... i checked a few of things inside and found them betetr than other addons:
live stream ->ilive
anime -> freakanime
hd movies

xfinity...

http:// xfinity.xbmctalk.com
or
http://xfinity.xbmctalk.com
? or same

i did all that, same procedure as with fusion but can't get it.
one utube video said need to remove fusion first, which i did, still can't.
so, re-installed fusion!

actually, u r right, it's no good to have too long an addon list, too many addons.
it just too cumbersome, slows down the machine.

just to share with you, i only frequent xbmc, gentv mal and youtube.
really don't need others.

glad to share, bro. i picked up many tips from yr posts, happy to share with others. biggrin.gif

i have spent a lot of money over the years on av, it and related. from cds to bds, from crt to htc, from ps2 to ipads, from astro to androidtv! tongue.gif

this androidtv is telling me the future of av-comms-media storage will change very fast.

i can see much of my old collection of dvds and lower grade media files getting junked since who needs them when they are easily and cheaply accessible online anytime anywhere?!

from now on, i can check online for a few minutes the new stuff. if good and i want them on like blurays, i can get elsewhere. if not worth it, just watch online streaming and be done with it. thumbup.gif

and bye-bye soon to cable-satellite tv for sure...

Yes. I'm referring to the premium package which is using P2P, the free channel is not P2P.

P2P technology should be the more people watching, the less buffering it will be.

Can anyone help to confirm whether it is smooth playing during night time?

cloudtv...

i only watch a couple of news channels on cloudtv, free stuff.

this morning, found some nice changes.

the free channels - quite a number of new ones appeared for english and chinese languages.

in addition, many of them are now better in video quality, almost 480p which is highly watchable. smooth too.

check them out! wink.gif

Sure its not full 1080P but its of very good HD quality. CloudTV recommends at least 4Mbps, I’m using Unifi's 5Mbps and it streams fantastic with no buffering and doesn’t disturb browsing/downloading/youtube streaming on my other 5 wifi connected devices. Should you choose to subscribe, better you sign up for the Chinese package rather than the English only package. This is cuz, the Chinese package is cheaper and also contains lots more English channels than the English only package.
I'd like CloudTV to improve by adding more English channels and improving to full HD smile.gif though that might call for upgrading to the 10Mbps package.

i had been using paid cloud tv chinese channel for almost 7 months.

my feedback as below:-
1) For hot channel like TVB it would give you some lag issue during peak hours like 7pm to 10pm but still watchable.. sometime need to switch to alternative channel to watch it.
2) Need to use software encoding as hardward encoding will makes audio to play on a single side
3) Some channels (especially movie channel) will appear error like (payment error, satellite not in coverage)
4) A lot source from HK are in Mandarin instead of cantonese

I am using 5mb unifi package

I've been watching CloudTV free version via MeLe M6 YunOS TV Box and Maxis 10Mbps fiber.

The free version has quite a few Malaysia channels like discovery HD, history, animal planet, HBO HD, BBC, etc etc in HD quality but the streaming speed sucks. I wonder if I upgrade to paid service, all these Malaysian channels will be included in the paid channels folders and no more buffering ??

i wont said without buffering, it will still need buffering but the source is more stable compare to the free version. the channel you list may work well as its not popular like tvb channel. you can give it a try as RM15 shdn;t the a stopper for you to try biggrin.gif

never noticed that! will check it.

however, i did not find much difference between software or hardware+ (the 3rd option on settings menu) as afar as smoothness of video for the channels.

yes try for 1month,rubbish apk really not suite for me.

not totally rubbish...

at least u can get some decent channels for free under free content.

i stick to the few consistent good channels incl channelnewsasia, bloomberg, natgeo people hd, discovery world hd. and watched a few live worldcup matches there recently too!

all that is live tv, not on-demand. for on demand, better look for something else....

No need, just download the apk from their website, install on ur device and you'll be given 24 hours free testing of all premium channels. If you are satisfied, simply subscribe and make payment thru card or PayPal. 1 mth subscription should be enough for further testing, if you remain undecided after the free trial.

once you subscribe then you can have a subscribe folder where u can access to all these channel. Its not astro channel.. they are capturing satellite data from all over the world. You will get discovery channel HD i think in 480p but some you will get the subtitle as vietnam character. BTW you cant compare this to astro... they doesnt allow you to change language or change subtitle.

If you want to subscribe it to watch football matches like Premier League, forget about it. Most of the channels are low bitrate and lag at most of the time. Worst, it's not working at some time.

I use my Macbook and connect to TV and watch HD on stream (Ronaldo7.net) in REAL TIME, which is totally sync/faster with LiveScore. Even Astro Supersport are 3 minutes slower than the actual time of the match.

Okay, just rechecked and the site is back up and was able to download the latest version available for android. Initial testing on my tablet seems okay, switching channels is fast, smooth and I love the swipe up and down as volume control. Seems though it caters to more non-English channels. Tested FYI, NBA HD, CNN, and History channel and got smooth playback with quality of around 480p. It does require a lot of unnecessary permissions.

Hey, I encountered the same issue as you did. Bet you weren't using Google Chrome browser on android to download the apk. Visiting the site from Chrome on android, allows you to download the apk file. Let me know if that still doesn't work & i'll put up a download link of the apk file.

it would be nice if it works on the android box.
it comes out good on the pc.

anyway, like i said, many of the channels are available on other apps and/or hyptv.
but will be nice if all that is in a small compact and easy to navigate app.

for news and sports, try this on android. it's reliable, easy to use.
movies/tv shows not so good since all channels are sd.

Hi guys, I need to know if CloudTV allow to have 2 decoders (in the same network) to be used with single account, meaning I only have to pay one Package and use for 2 different decoders, but within the same network.

I can see TVB channel in the free content...
One of the Andriod can watch it, another box cannot watch due to the hardware encoder issue
It's in HKTV logo instead

Yeah, the trial is for a day, after which you can either stick with the free content or purchase a subscription.

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. laugh.gif

chance coming for me to get a new one. tongue.gif

Hahaha, probably just used to more speed.. Besides 3 years is a long time compared to today's fast-paced technology. Technically, your box was obsolete in about a year after its release. tongue.gif See the average human is difficult to satisfy, we want it faster, better, stronger. Google's Android TV was supposed rule the living room, but mainly due to certain restrictions and it's incompatibility with the full fledged Android OS apps, it's not gaining traction as it should.

Hi Guys,

I had installed CloudTV in the HyppTV box. But when I running CloudTV now, the message swipe "down from the top to exit full screen" with "OK" button. But I'm unable to select "OK" button to remove this message using remote control. Can anyone advise on this?

Thanks in advance

Are you using a remote with trackpad or airmouse features which simulate touch? If not? You need one or an external mouse to click the "Ok" button.

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.

thanks for the feedback. Appreciate comment on VPN because I was considering purchasing one.

Yesterday wanted to watch Federer/Nadal match but damn tough keep buffering, then same scene repeating.

I think it's server problem, cause other channels are smooth.

I've tried both asian/europe server - no difference.

Server problem.. With such services, buffering is bound to happen occasionally depending on server strength. For server issues, it's usually because the servers and or their bandwidth is at or near full capacity handling connections to it.. hence the buffering.

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

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.

I had a chat with cloudtv Support, not bad around 10pm also got live support.

They asked to change decoder, I switched to S/W now it seems better.

Well the real test is when it is showing some popular match

Yup... How they handle congestion is the true test. Basically, if server & upload capacity is set at 20,000 connected.. If say 20100 tries to connect, sure 100 or so experience buffering issues or kick outs.. What good IPTV providers do is provide more servers to handle the load.. Of-course, they can be pricier or more exclusive to seek than CloudTV. CloudTV's major advantage is history, those guys have been around for at least 5 years.. So paying to them comes with some peace of mind versus some fresh, low popularity provider

laugh.gif That one's from the channel hosters.. What most of these folks do is capture and broadcast the streams, guess they've employed a way to inform that the channel is unavailable at that particular time.

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.

yeh getting bad lag for cloud tv.

using a wireless to connect router to himedia running the app.

but ironically netflix 4k hdr works very smoothly...... so it would seem to me that wireless is not the problem in my case isn't it? so the real issue is cloud tv service speed is the problem?
i'd be fine if i just get hypptv to work, but i cannot run ethernet to it.... any suggestions? homeplug or a wireless bridge setup?  hmm.gif 

a bit confusing getting the hypptv to work. Asus router already has a setup for lan port 4 for iptv use, so normally you would plug that into the hypptv box. but how to do that when physically it's not close for that setup?

so how  rclxub.gif

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.

thanks for headsup.

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

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.
