just want a tv box with all in one and no cheating yearly subscription

how much? what brand?

Or you do like my uncle's brother's kid's friend and find a cheap but solid ehem service that actually has staff and capable servers which are capable of serving out 4K content too. Install their Kodi addon with full EPG and stream away. All done via a capable box he chose himself with proper stable firmware and not just some shoddy hardware + software combo box they chose and slap their brand on it.. Calling it an IPTV/Kodi box..

There are always more than one way to get such. Either you work for it and enjoy how you want it or you pay someone else to do the work and hope he/she does the right work the way you want it. Always up to the consumer to choose which option. However with option 1, you determine your satisfaction levels. Option 2 sees someone else determining for you and you may or may not be missing out on a better device or service.

Okay.. I get your point. Mine involves acknowledging that there's is not one single box with 1 time payment that will actually last long. You either pay upfront the equivalent of months subscription in which the money you paid will be up used during those months to maintain the service or you were conned into paying for streams that are stolen and the "maintainer" can decide today to walk away from the app. Say you paid RM500 or more for such. The box they provide is probably worth RM150-RM200 max. The extra money is for this "one off payment". Where can such a business model succeed? What developer wants to be paid only once but work for a lifetime? Hahaha..End up, the service closes and you are stuck with an underperforming box.

i would like to buy those 1 time pay tvbox.. hassle free.. which one u recommend?

are you referring to androidrepublic? my fren also recommend them.. will approach them..

What I mean is if you consider paying other for those apps that you can install yourself, then u are better off buying those box that come with their livetv vod apps. It is hassle free with 1 off payment and the developer will maintain those apps for u. Unlike those that help u install kodi terrarium, once the apps is down the seller can do nothing for you anymore.
