Friends i need some advice:

Here's my requirement based on the template from Bro AVFAN above:

I have 100mbps broadband. Just terminated Astro. (used to hv Dynasty & Sports)

Would like a box that would enable me to :
1. stream live sports (only EPL is a must, others dont have no problem),
2. hong kong & taiwan shows (drama & food shows),
3. English movies
4. English documentaries (Nat Geo, History Channel, Discovery, Life, Diva).
5. CNN & BBC news

English subtitles needed
Need HD, but no need 4k
Need hd audio (connected to soundbar + subwoofer)

legit iptv can : as long as monthly not more than RM50 la

.. ahem iptv.. this is last, last option.. because of obvious reason and also reported poor picture quality

.. knowledge level with androids : not much, but i learn quick ..wink.gif

.. budget - RM150 to RM450

Thanks for your time to help a stranger walking in the dark

good to know someone read my posts! biggrin.gif

i'll try to help...

.. yr speed is good.
.. free reliable live sports streams in HD is a challenge; u need to keep hunting them whether standalone apps or addons in kodi; if u dun mind sd streams, no-english streams, much easier; keep in mind live sports is big biz, they will protect their income; read kodi thread.
.. hongkong/taiwan/china/japan/korea - they are usually lumped together; comes in live tv and VOD (video-on-demand); live tv china is easy, plenty, others not so; VOD reasonably ok with standalone apps or Kodi ICDRAMA.
.. english movies - easy, plenty.
.. CNN, BBC, bloomberg, news... SD, plenty, easy; HD not so easy.
.. eng subtitles.. easy in KODI, but more difficult in other apps; e.g. china streams... nobody in china care about eng subs.
.. legit iptv = astro, hypptv, iflix, netflix... u know the prices; all others are illegit.
.. illegit/ahem iptv - i will not comment, will not encourage illegal biz; please check elsewhere.
.. it helps a lot if u already use android phone, android tablet becos same principles; android a little diff from windows or ipads; yes...  need some work and patience.
.. budget...rm450 will not get premium brand.. but get a minimum android5 (latest is android7), 2/16gb; buying from helpful seller can be beneficial for noobs; read:

Thanks for the reply.
I know that i should get an android box with at least android 5.1, 2/16GB. Is there any other feature i should look for to get the most out of my sound bar.. things like 5.1 passthrough ?! is OTA update also important?

1, 4 & 5 Project Cypher, NJM Soccer & MIC on Kodi
2 - icdrama or RSS icdrama on Kodi dramas or install XZHB, TV2.0 Plus & HDPFAN apk
3 - Specto, Exodus or Real Movies on Kodi

As for others, Himedia Q5 Pro for $460 from Lazada or from k/tard Nicety at Garage Sales

Then u are all set to sit back and enjoy

Good luck!

Nabeh.... Even ahem IPTV sports stream not as good as those I mentioned.... Coupled that with Q5 Pro and your sound bar  you'd be thinking you are watching Astro in TGV

I'll just let u explore then u come back answer your own question

Bro AVFAN, i understand much better now tx. Guess the next step is to take the plunge and learning hand-on.

Cheers
