Hardware specs-wise? It's looks okay and will serve a simple user just fine.. Durability and reliability? That one you have to roll the dice la.. But at that price point, you can't really expect much in that department for such devices from "no-name manufacturers".

However, I'm not fond of sellers or product listings carrying terms such as "free for life, guaranteed, no monthly fees", watch all you want etc.. Those sellers are the ones giving boxes a bad name and getting the government & Big Media worked up.. Basically those are stuffs that you can find on your own and are repackaged and sold to you.. So you are paying some sort of premium there too for the assistance.

Best to clarify what your concerns are before you pull the trigger... Else, worst case? You lose cash spent only.. Buy another..  biggrin.gif

yes. not necessarily go for the premium u paid for those apps which we can find by our own.

just go ahead with bare unit and save up to RM100. alternative is Mecool KM9. there are alot seller selling bare unit got 220++ with Voice command remote control.

Yes brother exactly ,
He offer H96 max 4gb 64gb + leoprotv for rm680..
In lazada the same box cost about 240..
So they adding 440 just Live tv subscribtion ?
Other alternate he told me if get other box still can get those livetv for rm300..
Wow good profit making... rm140..?
Or else they taking upfront for 3 years.. saying giving 3 years warranty ?
Probably per annum rm100..
Not sure how this works, i installed in mobile tried to use livetv but required activation code.
So cannot use free la..
They register device details with their dealer..
Sounds cool...

And also very messy. Where are you putting the PC ? If you put PC next to TV, short cable, but when you want to change apk and click on PC, how ? If you put PC next to you, you will have long cable running from TV to PC.

perhaps he put with a docking station beside TV and control laptop with air mouse or wireless keyboard+mouse.

Prosecuting the sellers. Do they have a case on buyers ? Is it an offence ?

supposedly when we buy from Aliexpress or Gearbest, we need apply Sirim also. just that they run down those seller who promote heavily on non-Sirim items.

I read through the first few pages regarding different TVbox but I am still confused on what to get... There are just too many... I am confused mainly on the contents available for each different tvbox. My understanding is that, if it is running android OS, shouldnt they all can install the same apps and watch the same contents? Does it mean some seller are selling ahem version which is rooted with extra free subscription contents? Hope someone can enlighten me on this.

Currently planning to get a tvbox and these are my requirements:
1. can watch a lot of chinese/hk/taiwan drama/movies. These are mainly for my mother/mother in law , who prefer simple interface, Astro-style easy to navigate. Can leave them with the controller and they can just watch whatever they want.
2. I dont want something buggy , that may run out of service after running fine for a while... maybe this has more to do with the apps, than the device. Again, a buggy OS or system will just confuse the aunties in the house. And personally cant handle interface that will lags.
3. My budget can goes higher, if it worth it. I dont have 4k Tv though, n dont have crazy high speed internet. Just Full HD will do.
4. Personally I am more interested in Nvidia Shield. Because I like the gaming idea. That way the device can be use for dual purpose. But my question is , can Nvidia Shield do everything that other TV boxes can do? or it gotta be root illegally to have access to all the unlimited china/chinese contents?

Sorry for being so noob in this topic.. I know im way too slow to the game. btw my only experience with tv box is apple Tv which i only use to play youtube and netflix and occasionally rent movie from apple services.

if u check from Lazada, alot seller with ahem service. ahem means it might be MIA after some time. their ahem apps normally are their exclusive apps (sendiri cari link for stream and throw into their own ahem apps)

if u don't check from Lazada, check from Gearbest, at there, all are bare unit which u have to research all the ahem apps that are available to public. u must understand streaming from these ahem apps are not always smooth due to it is free.

Gearbest any top selling model is alright with budget around $50-60 (i gotten mine Mecool KM9 which is enuf for me)

if u uses netflix, get a netflix certified model like Xiaomi Mi Box S (cheapest model with Netflix certified, downside is the storage size which is very limited with 8gb, but u din really run Kodi/ahem apps, 8gb is more than enuf with Netflix).

nvidia shield seem like going to a facelit soon, u may hold it for now.
