With good internet connection you can get hd channels and like I said some channels only got interruptions most channels works fine all the time.

In terms of channels being discontinued and replaced, it happens for astro too.

The only main differences are:

1. Cannot change language and subtitles
2. No program list and info/summary(can’t view what’s the shows that showing next or summary of the show)
3. Entirely dependent on your internet speed, if you use unifi 10mb then be prepared at night when line slow can’t connect.
4. For video on demand, all the movie title is listed in Chinese, although you can see the original English title from the movie poster, unless you remember the translation of the movie name in Chinese, you won’t be able to search for it and have to keep scrolling and looking for the movie you want based on the poster.

So yeah in terms of convenience, definitely not as convenient as astro but functionality wise it works just fine.
