Based on HW specs, I estimate these to be RM110-150 boxes.

The box with foc lifetime 1000++ channels will cost RM5xx~RM6xx.


Actually worth to get it ?

As long as their business running ...the service will continue..

IMHO...really not worth. I haven't run out of things to watch yet...plus I don't want to support illegal business.

Temptation is strong smile.gif  I know...don't succumb to the dark side...

What is good is not cheap; what is cheap is no good; what is free is best.

Those free apps always buffering, not loading.. very frustrated when watching movie...
Paid apps have people take care the server.. anything down.. they will service..

that box w/ahem iptv is sold in pasar malam and coffeeshops.

we should not discuss illegal stuff here.

Ok...

I can stream 3 YouTube channels & 1 TV/movie at 720p without buffering on Unifi vip5...

I guess you need to find better sources...

May I know what APK you using for movie ?

Buffering I referring to APK server... not that ISP..
Each APK have their own server right ?

Simple and user friendly only suitable for parents...

Use Kodi to stream movies and tv shows.

Kodi troublesome... always need add add on...sources not active always.. need more steps to open movie , TV show..

Think not suitable for senior citizen..

take yr time, read the first pages in this new thread, all the links given.

there are plenty of ways to get good stable free stuff if u have the good speed and right box.

and becos they are foc, they need maintenance, care and attention.

and that means they are not suitable for people who just press buttons.

for older people, my honest suggestion is u pay astro or hypptv.

if not, u will get non stop scolding. tongue.gif

My parents like to watch Taiwan channels...
Astro no have the channels...

Brought my box all the way to India. Two problems now. cry.gif

1) Bad Internet connection, I doubt I can stream any content. doh.gif

2) Plugged in HDMI cable which I brought from Malaysia, I doubt it's spoilt as I was still using it before I put in my luggage. 4 ports on the TV but none detects my box. doh.gif Tried with my laptop, also cannot detect. doh.gif

FML. Gotta talk to hotel fellows tomorrow.

If it's too slow and I cannot load content, I have to accept the fate but if HDMI ports cannot use really I can bangwall.gif here... One month plus here. cry.gif

Is there any chance that HDMI ports can be disabled on a TV?
*
Buy new HDMI cable and try ?maybe wire broken when pack in luggage?

Or one more possibility is the box faulty ?

install...all plug n play...even the seller include an additional adaptor to convert 2 pin plug into 3pin plug...

rear port consist:
hdmi
lan
power plug
av out (3.5mm)

side port (on the left hand side when looking from front of the device)
2 usb port
1 microsd slot
front: power status LED and power button...
the size is quite minimal and clean... no external antenna....

powering on...quite fast....
tested media:
-4k (uhd mp4 video clip from my 4k drone recording) works great no stutter or lag...it just play immediately
-mp3 with 320kbps also works good
kodi came preinstalled but all of the installed link not working...
so i've uninstall the kodi...and reinstall latest version from playstore....all working great...

game not yet tested...(not really interested on gaming purpose)

air mouse/keyboard not yet bought... so kiv on that....
only complain is i felt the device was a bit warm...

and remote recieving angle wasnt that great on the device...had to point a bit more towards the device......
thats all....

on audio is quite decent...i didnt expect high end sound...since i hook my logitech 5.1 pc speaker to the tv and live with that....so sound transferred thru hdmi...so it should be fine....

while watching from kodi and/or playing mp3 all speakers sending appropriate sound true to 5.1 speaker output...
*edit due to typo on mp3 bitrate  sweat.gif

How much ?
