Fyi, this may not be android box but this solution may suit you. I found this seller selling the tv box with contents from hong kong movies and dramas available in cantonese language. Unlike some of the android tv which were mostly in mandarin dubbed.

They have hbo, axn , food channel etc. the contents will also updated. No local tv channel . Many english channels and tv dramas. Its a no brainer kind of stuff. Just plug and play for those who are illiterate in mandarin.
The seller is probably in overseas right now, still expecting him to reply my question. Thats the only doubt.

If any of you were using this or similar , can u pls advise or share your experience , no brainer stuff like installing apk, xbmc programming etc, this will be an option .

Recently I just purchased an Android TV box with Karaoke functions. Besides normal general functions of Android TV box, it comes with two high quality microphones and built in 500K songs / MTV apps. For karaoke lovers like me, this is definitely a good box. For new Android buyer, this give you another option to choose...

Who do you buy from, what brand is this? Sometime , it feel good, it looks good but it cost more money to owned one box . Android box these days can range in many prices.

thanks for the head up !

Beware:
Update on 1OTT.
the guys who sold the player is not in his thread for some times now. The company office is in Penang and Sri Hartamas. They were called Cloudmedia. Check their website . Their product is from hong kong. Their customers not seem to be a lot but their content i saw like AXN have Thai subtitles. It may just another pull links from same source by cloudtv etc.
If u r searching for HK drama in cantonese, browser base is the only one that runs smoothly but so far i have only found azdrama that works well.

potential buyers of androids and similar primarily accessing china sites be warned:

.. unifi residential is having trouble since 12 sep 2014 - can't access or very slow
.. no info when it will be restored
.. all related china sites incl cloudtv dead or dead slow
.. xbmc not affected
.. others like unifi biz, streamyx, maxis fiber, time fiber, vpn's no problem, it seems
.. not the first time, it happened in june 2013

Even Azdrama site had been cloned and shifted to new links.
I watched Astro On Go and it's smooth like hell. Obviously , the china streaming problem. I putting on hold on my next purchase of media player at the moment. I have sold my himedia player . Probably thinking of getting chromecast , minix or roku but not sure if it works well with Astro on Go. I heard Astro on GO only works for Samsung and Ipad, not all devices will work. hmm.gif

your price is too expensive. u have to let us know what is so different from your competitor? 1OTT also claims so many channels and no subscription . i saw your sample, some of the movies were in malay sub, must be from indonesia.

QUOTE(AVFAN @ Sep 17 2014, 06:06 PM)
i would think aotg works on most if not all newer androids and tablets. they r indeed stable.
hypptv everywhere works the same as aotg, also very smooth.
however, the video quality is surely no as good as via the decoders.
after worldcup, i ignored aotg altogether, never use hypptv everywhere alto both r on my android and ipad. tongue.gif

it is obvious that without restrictions, it is not difficult to stream video and audio, incl hd as demonstrated by many apps incl xbmc.
but.... as we know it, there r vested parties wanting control - the power to restrict, the power to set rules, the power to make money.

yeah, quality not so great but lucky me , my new sony TV bravia has the technology to make the quality clearer and better too. my previous tv able to see more pixel. Sony helps a bit.

Whats the different compares to himedia player ? show us your flex.gif . I c u have quite a lot of channels too and pretty complete . The plus point probably your T vB channels and HD channels. For english, xbmc could do the trick for free too . Maybe you can share the videos here . Thanks notworthy.gif

Ya, the brand is Mele K8. According to the seller, this model just being introduced to market in less than 2 months. I bought it from local online store... Can i actually share the website details in this forum? I am new in this forum... wink.gif
*
Yeah pls share out. Too many sellers with very poor services to diagnose some of the problems. Even good samaritan like avfan is busy responding to sellers customersr. A lot of minions need help especially when many of the players were made in china.

Many sellers from different brands claimed its good but lack of testimonials, some using dupe account to respond as customers. Sometimes its like the movie internal affairs business . What they forget to tell u, get a good router and take mandarin tuition, laugh.gif .

hi,hardware is not the main point,you can use any android device to subscribe our service too. dont think xbmc can provide u stable and smooth hd channels.  smile.gif

i did read about inconsistency of xbmc and a lot of problems in the forum but there's one device with xbmc hardware decoding call Minix should be quite stable because they incorporated in the media player. i don't owned minix but it claimed so . how much does it cost for just subscription?

hi,i means the channels sources in xbmc not stable,not hardware.
pm u

Thanks justin, the xbmc video sourced in certain media player were decode using software thus stability is an issue . Well , it seems that some sellers has high regards for the latest minix x8h for their hardware decoding which provides better output due to faster processor now. So my guess is that the old issues on poor performance or stability might be just a history.

We just have to wait for someone neutral to lavish out the truth , if its true than its a big leap here because so far i hardly read any testimonial of it yet.

i think it is true that some devices, be it android or other based, are built with xbmc in mind, chipsets supported by xbmc, so should be smoother n less troublesome. xbmc is a non profit org, free for all to use, add, build, modify, whatever.

but justinlo i think is talking about his iptv package via some vpn for any android, nothing to do with xbmc.
paid iptv packages r expected to be via vpn for stability n smooth streaming, if not why pay?
the only thing besides cost is whether it will stay that way over time, how legit issues will affect performance, etc.
*
Yes i do know the difference but i did saw a few live tv channels like nikelodeon, fox, disney channels in xbmc thus i brought this into such comparison between these two but i cant remember if they were HD. Justin iptv channels have HD channels mostly .

The market scenario here divides into few categories, english and cantonese /english, cantonese and mandarin / english , taiwan , cantonese, mandarin. Im the 1st category. The other channels in mandarin not bother bcos i dont even understand.

I got to pick the right one .

www has involved into such a monster that sometimes, nobody knows what is where, where it comes from, etc...!
nicko, disney, cnn, discovery, bbc, etc. - each one has a hundred or a thousand versions, peculiar to each country or langauge or resolution or paid/free.
what "xyz" iptv like cloudtv do is to somehow tap into whatever is available and workable, then package them for sale via vpn. stability or legit over time, who can guarantee? then again, given how fast tech change and the price u pay, they may be worth it for the individual - for as long as it works well.

you surely need to find the right box that can do the right things that u want. if mandarin is not wanted, a lot is eliminated. if canto stuff is wanted, i suppose there r only these options or a combination:

.. astro wahlaitoi - pay or foc with aotg
.. hypptv scm, red - ruby pack foc with unifi10
.. azdrama browser - foc
.. azdrama via xbmc - foc
.. csplayer - asian domains incl azdrama, koreandrama, japanesedrama, chinesedrama, drama.se, other vod, p2ptv - foc (?)
.. paid iptv packages - how good, how big library, how good for live and vod...

the canto-eng subs combo is in demand in malaysia and malaysia only, i think. elsewhere, mandarin/jap/kor-eng subs are far more popular.

Is red ruby foc now? Have unplugged hyptv device for a long time now. Nice write up. Tq

can be a long story....
u can read my story at the hypptv thread.
in short, ruby and platinum pack = megapack, rm50 pm.
new vip10 users get megapack or sports pack foc.
old vip10 users like me paying same price need to call, yell n scold for 2 months, then get it.

but... ruby stuff is kinda old. if ur looking for new young pretty boys n girls in canto, it's not there.
jackie chan, maggie cheung, chow yun fatt, et al are there.

okay, will write in and ask for it . damn, new user can get it , loyal customer were dumped. When begging us to upgrade, we gave in. damn.

write in, they'll bury it in the drawer. u need to call, 5 times in my case. and they will taichi with all kinds of funny stories like "we called twice, nobody picked up" or "approved but...".

like i said in that thread, the norm for local biz is spend zero for loyal customers, spend more n more to get new disloyal ones. banks behave same way for credit cards and fd rates.

they have become either very clever or very stupid... becos i was trained to remember "it cost 5 times to get new customer than keep existing one".!

Its unethical and plain stupid or should i said pure greed. They were too long in monopoly until short circuit their brain now. Life too easy for them, no longer reward loyal customers or do we have a choice? They knew we dont have other better choices too.
