QUOTE(plumberly @ Jan 9 2016, 04:14 PM) Ya, I kind of agree with you. Have been using Netflix for the past few days. Not really that impressed that I will be paying for it. Only good thing is you will get the streaming without any problem with the unavailable/broken link one gets in Genesis, 1Channel etc. By the way, watch Rise Of the Hackers in Netflix. Interesting and scary too. They managed to get into Iranian's nuclear station and played with their compressors! Netflix, Hulu, Amazon, etc.. 100% Legal.. Genesis, 1 Channel, etc.. NOT!! As for documentary "Rise of the Hackers", bro, if that worries you then you really don't want to know what can be done & very easily today. See that smartphone on the table across you or in your pocket.. That my friend is the ultimate spying device.. It has cameras, mics, fingerprint scanners, GPS, phone metadata, etc.. And they don't even have to force people to buy/use it.. While we are at it, have you seen Edward Snowden's documentary, "Citizenfour"? This post has been edited by voncrane: Jan 10 2016, 12:14 AM

out of curiosity, i just tried netflix on my box.
.. easy to register and get working .. easy to use .. smooth, no buffering .. eng and other subs
.. limited selection .. not all tv episodes are as up-to-date as u like .. at best 720p (for ultra hd option), close to hypptv's 1080i
1st month free, try it!

Yes, aware of the spying via cameras in mobile, laptop etc. Will try to find Citizenfour later toady to watch it.

Saw an article in The Star on Netflix in Spore. Movies are classified for general, parents etc. Do we have that in Msia Netflix? Don't think so from what I have observed over the past few days.
Do we need to pay GST for Netflix subscription? Payment is directly to the US company. Hope Ah Jib is not reading this!

You can create multiple profiles including a Kids only profile. The kids only profile, once created, automatically restricts access to only kids content. Switch or choose at startup. As for GST? Just pay the Netflix monthly charges as on the website & let them worry about that. This post has been edited by voncrane: Jan 10 2016, 08:23 PM

Hey AVFAN & others interested in 4K content.. Check UltraFlix out. Seems like they are pushing to be the Netflix of 4K content.

Yeah... It's going to be awhile more for wider support and content. At least they've been remastering some older blockbusters. I'm thinking more like 3 - 5 years for things to gradually normalize... Especially since TM will need years to improve current speeds, stability and pricing. Can't blame them & the likes for limiting support to just proven devices, as it's ensures their customers are provided with optimum performance.. Less complaints..

Hope that some expert here can help me.
Using ARES build (on my PC), I like the shows in Rock Concerts. I do not want to install ARES on my TV Box as I do not want to re-do some of the configurations I have done in my TV Box. But want to watch the concerts on my TV, instead of my PC.
How can I find out the link addresses for the concerts in ARES?
Thanks.
P/S Found this path plugin://plugin.video.phstreams
Will explore further and see if I can set this up in my TV Box.

I just got the Minix X8-H Plus and the iflix app plays movies with a black screen (sound is perfectly fine and UI is still responding so the iflix app is not hanging). Anybody have the same problem and solved it?

Anybody have the same problem and solved it? Try clearing the app data & logging back in.. If the problem remains, contact iflix support.. They might be able to fix it with an update.
