i may be a bit misleading in my requirements vs what i had in my skybox
the skybox only had some of the channels you see on astro, some bcos those that are HD cannot be decoded
I also had to pay around RM40 pm to be able to use the skybox and the cline account
now that is has expired and the skybox is just a wastebox i want an android tv that has everything in it, everything for me means = can watch movies and tv series. just english ones will do, no need chinese
anyone can help with this simple requirement?
i understand what u r looking for - mostly live tv but not on demand.
what u want is definitely not simple.
the way android boxes work:
.. need a good stable connection... 10mbps will be good, anything higher excellent for HD streams.
.. these boxes are just boxes, the good stuff comes from what u install, i.e. apps or apk's.
.. there is no such thing as "everything in it" - becos some apps will die, need new or the provider can't maintain well.
.. there hundreds of apps; some are totally free, DIY. this is the bulk of the discussion here, what boxes, what apps, what changes, where to get what.
.. some apps are legit - u pay, good streams - netflix, iflix, and i think amazon now.

https://forum.lowyat.net/HomeElectronics&WaresGarageSalesif u hv the time n patience and willing to get yr hands dirty, u can get a lot of stuff incl HD. a lot of us here are enjoying good free HD stuff everyday for several years now. but if u hv no time, then go to a shop or IT center, get a package but it is not guaranteed 100% service.
my experience, a few good apps is all u need. u dun hv the time watch so much anyway.
