QUOTE(WaCKy-Angel @ Oct 2 2015, 05:09 PM) Depends ur definition of "illegal". If u say one can only watch movies by paying for ticket at cinema, then using android box is illegal. Buf if u say watching movies at TV1, TV2, TV3, etc etc are free and legal, then using android box i legal. Anyway, RM388 for mibox is way way too expensive. Im selling RM270 with postage And also Astro subscription RM480/year also expensive...i see other ppl selling RM3XX only u are seller, so u are outta this discussion, cause u will never be neutral.

Anybody has any links to forum that discuss about things like this, i want to know how difficult if i want to do it manually, like setting up a linux or android machine myself, install software and apply for subscriptions, wanna dig it up myself.

QUOTE(neoFluidic @ Oct 2 2015, 09:16 PM) I tot use internet stream watch y need to pay If legal means astro has another team to convert their own content into digital and broadcast to those paid online user, illegal means somebody subscribe to astro(many subscription, so they have many streams) then convert to digital and do their own broadcast, illegal due to astro didnt allow 3rd party to use their content beside home viewing. So even 3rd party need to make profit, paying for internet upload bandwidth, servers for streaming, manpower for recording or converting the content before broadcast. its a risky subscription due to its pretty easy to ban it. since its all ip based, once u know where all ppl are connecting to, just ban the ip will do.

QUOTE(WaCKy-Angel @ Oct 2 2015, 11:05 PM) no annual fees canot watch astro lah. anyway what does "watch astro" means? HBO? ANIMAX? etc etc? FYI Kodi aka XBMC app, VST, CloudTV, etc etc are all VOD so u just look for what movie u want. ALL FREE Watch astro means change the default desktop wallpaper to "Astro".

QUOTE(skeith @ Oct 3 2015, 10:04 AM) I currently in hometown, so i cannot let u know what is the total no of channel. But it do includes astro. It may not have all astro channel, but it has wat i need for eg, HBO HD Astro on Demand HD Astro Super Sport 1234 Wah Lai Toi Hua Hee Dai HD Quan Jia HD (papa go where liao ) FOX action premium HD Tian ying HD Discovery channel National Geographic channel + geo wild N etc etc Other than that astro, HBO hits HBO signature HBO family HBO action FOX sport Those above mentioned r my favourites. I compare to paid Astro before. The delay is about 1~2 mins The quality is good, but not great compare to the paid astro. from who u buy your unit from and how much u are paying yearly ?
