here's the link of the seller

this one, i think is heavily geoblocked on hk side.

will probably need hk vpn to run it.

u mean the box will have a workable viu tv in it?

from yr description, i gather it is the seller's preferred package.

i do not know this box, but from googling, ubox is just one of a hundred brands of such boxes.

however, for future purposes, i suggest u check if the box is 1/4, 2/8 or 2/16gb and if android version is 4.2, 4.4, 5.0, 5.1 or 6.0.

larger memory and newer android version is always better.

if you can confirm it works (i.e. with vpn to access viu tv) and that is what u want, then it's all about whether u accept the price or not.

then u should think about what are the risks of the vpn not working or terminated or viu decides to go paid iptv, no more free for anyone.

lastly, what about other uses with other apps - are they preinstalled, what u want, can get support later...

if it has everything u want and price is acceptable, u can surely consider.

They install an app called Cloud TV for you. You need to subscribe to it. I think USD 40 for 6 months etc, different pricing. It contains Astro. I sub to the 6 months package before, works ok. But picture quality and audio is so so only, so i no longer sub to it. Just using Kodi and Netflix

For your info, i still sub to Astro because that is the only way for me to enjoy quality sports content.

Without Cloud TV I won't be able to access Astro channels. For Netflix you can download the app from playstore and it serves western movies and series. But you need to pay a monthly subscription. Anyway I am not the type who likes to watch Live TV, i prefer on demand. I maintain my sub to astro for watching sports.

Yeah. You need to install Kodi first, then learn to install the relevant addons. I've seen HK drama available on Drama24H addon. I don't really watch HK drama so I can't vouch whether it is stable or not.

It's quite complicated for me bro:

1) I use my Ps3 to watch Netflix and Dramafever (it has lots of Korean dramas but have not really started, but based on test very good quality and smooth). My Himedia can be used for Netflix but it serves up to 480p only. Ps3 displays in HD

2) Astro for watching sports.

3) Himedia android box - for anything not available on Netflix and movies. I use Kodi and Cartoon HD app.

4) Google Chromecast - For netflix and iflix (for my bedroom tv)

So the above sums up my entertainment set-up lol  . But bear in mind if you wanna access dramafever, you need to subscribe to a VPN service or DNS since it is only available for US only.  But yet I still itch to buy a MiniX or Roku 3 don't know why, just my impulse

Nope.. Not the only way.. Seek and you shall find.
Depends on you.. Astro free user here for at least 5 years.. Saved thousands over the years.
Yup... For moi, it's Hypptv box (Mega Pack), Minix Neo U1 for Kodi, iFlix, local playback, ehem apps, etc....and a Smart TV for 1080p Netflix with DD & YouTube..
