Dear All,

I saw the advertisement of this 4k Somershade Online receiver TV98 on Facebook and Lazada, just wondering is there any 1 outside is using this TV box and their services.

Mentioned that the price is RM480 One off fees, free for whole life, no monthly rental or annual with HK, Indonesia, China, Taiwan, Singapore, Japan, Korea, North America, Thailand and Malaysia AXt@o.

Is it reliable and can be trust?

I did read through some posts here, however, hardly find some comments on this "Somershade".

The price they offer is much expensive than normal TV Box, so wondering what make them so much different from other with that kind of price.

It really pained me reading things like this.
When people bought this kind of product which sounds so magical one time pay for a life time service...
Where got one?

You found out that the tv channel lagging although already using high speed internet?
Not your internet fault. Just purely the apps fault.

Free apps in the internet are all like that.
For live TV such as Redbox, Mobdro, Livenettv
For Movies and TV series even better, got a few of nice FREE apps for those. No lagging with quality 1080p or even 4k if you have those 100mbps speed.

Paid Ehems apps i can say has improved a lot. There's a few of them locally.
Minimal lagging if not none at all.

You already using the Internet. If only people google around a bit more...

I guess where there's demand, there will always be a supply...

100mbps is more than enough for anything; even netflix 4k needs only 30mbps.

the buffering is due to poor servers, geoblocks, getting cut off by authorities becos they are illegal hacks.

there are 3 types of streams:

1. payable, legal, legit, reliable ones like netflix, astrogo, unifi playtv.
2. payable, illegal, illegit ones - u should know who and what they r... u get what u get until u dun, no recourse.
3. free illegit ones - they come and go, die n live, like phoenixes... u spend time to deal with it, some better than others, some very reliable.

those who have been using boxes for a few years typically go for 1 and/or 3.

buy a good box, u can get a lot from it... but need work.

if no time, no interest, go for 2 only to be disappointed later.

Snagged one of these yesterday, after some favourable reviews from a friend. I'm quite n00b to Android TV boxes, but my parents have a Xiaomi something TV box with Kodi, and it's troublesome for them to use, so I figured I'd try this.

So far so good if you ask me, the interface is simple enough, live TV channels are good. Many sports channels (Astro supersport 1-4, SkySports, and some others).

The VOD movies aren't that fancy, but the TVB channels VOD are good.

They also supply a Netflix account, so that's good.

Seller is also very responsive.

Fingers crossed.

That is January 2019 post. Already 1 year.

I have been using this tv box since December 2018. They keep improving their apps over time. Their customer service is awesome. Very responsive.
