Same problem all my apps on mibox blocked.

You giving advice or actual confirmation?

My father only uses the box to watch Chinese tv serials, are they available in the 'legitimate international version'?

Unfortunately, what I see for legit sub-based content is either:

1. American content, or
2. Newer 'mainstream' Asian content.

Don't get me wrong, they are nice, but not really what my older folk want to be watching. I'm talking about those dreary daytime soap opera type shows in China produced for their local tv audience that have agricultural or historical settings (eg, the Japanese occupation). I guess it's like those Hokkien dramas on Astro channels that nobody really watches...
