None ATM. You could get good Android TV box and monthly fee subscription but might not have ALL Astro channel.

Also, not as "user friendly" as ASTRO.

So, it's something to consider.

I'm using HiMedia but it can't install Astro OTG coz it says rooted.

You might want to ask other PROs.

That's NO truth Astro replacement even you used the best of the best android TV box. The vid quality and stability from Astro transmission are much better.

Those Axxto IPTV service are illegal and go ON & Off frequently. If you are used to Astro. Don't waste your time to look for a replacement.

Getting a TV box is for others entertainment purposes. laugh.gif

btw! that's a dedicated thread related to TV box here. Spare sometime to read. https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/4200167

i tried it some time ago, dunno now.

that's the trouble with these addons or apps.

adrian, cypher, arena... so many...start, stop... come and go...

the standalone apps like mobdro, uktvnow... they stay longer but are in SD.

Is Kodi for android same like for Windows? Where you need to install repository and then install add in? I feel Kodi for Windows is quite confusing.

no...

same approach for all versions - install repos or plugins, install addons.

so, yes... kodi is not the easiest app to use... a lot of work to keep up.

read all that in kodi thread.

that's the way it is built; the app is one big complex platform.
developers will do their own thing and offer them as repos-plugins-addons for anyone to try.

yes, not easy for most users.
which is why some people incl me after some years tend to go for simple, faster, low maint standalone apps.
there is no perfect app for good n free stuff.
usually ending up using a mix of them.
