Hi Everyone,

Merry Christmas and advanced Happy New Year to all.

It's turning 2023 soon and I'm just wondering if there are any updated/latest TV Box and/or IPTV suggestions from sifus here.

I'm currently running a Xiaomi Mi-TV Stick, but am hoping to 'upgrade' to something better where I can watch Live Sports + Movies/Dramas-on-Demand (mostly US, UK, Korean) + Documentaries.

As with most of us, a one-time investment with free-for-life viewing would be preferred, but I am okay with paying an annual subscription of < RM 200 (if such subscription guarantees uninterrupted viewing).

Any recommendations from sifus here will be greatly appreciated.

Regarding the earlier discussions here about IPTV services that do not need TV boxes, they were actually available and running in the US, UK and EU for years already.

Asia is still kinda backward in terms of using 'IPTV'. Asians, til now, are still buying the TV Boxes to stream Live TV and VODs.

The fact is, for the western part of the world, IPTV users just have to download APPs on their SmartTVs, AndroidTVs, Android phones & devices, iOS phones & devices, TV sticks, MacOS laptops, tablets & desktops, and Windows OS laptops, tablets & desktops and the next thing to do is to find a reliable IPTV content provider.

For me, gone were the days where I keep buying TV boxes and only to have them unusable after a couple of months or a year, or unresponsive support teams.

I'd recommend PandoraTV which I've been using for 4 years and going!

However, if you're looking for mostly Asian content, then PandoraTV isn't the right fit for you.

But, if you're looking for live sports, news, documentaries, entertainment shows, and VODs from the US, UK, EU and other major paid-streaming giants, then PandoraTV may just be your perfect choice!

PM me for links as I'm unable to post links just yet ^^

Hi phoonCK,

I hope you're well.

Quick check with you; how is the "PandoraTV" IPTV serving you now (with 2023 just around the corner)?
Still going good?

What is the subscription structure like?
Monthly or Annual subscription payments?

Any viewing interruptions of note throughout your usage of 5 years (or more)?

Any reduction -OR- additions of new notable channels/contents offered by "PandoraTV" throughout the years of use?

I tried searching for the "PandoraTV" app using Aptoide via my Xiaomi Mi-TV Stick, but was not able to find it.
Perhaps it is not offered/searchable in the Aptoide platform.
Would you have any thoughts/experience on this?

I thank you in advance for your time and effort in answering/replying to my questions.

Thank you bro, I'm very well! LOL

Yep, still going strong and hardly any disruptions.
The subscription is paid annually.
There was only once, a major one, about 1-2 days in 2021, but that was only bcos they were migrating servers as they were expanding.

Yes, when there are new channels available from their suppliers, they'd add them on the servers after weeks of testing.

PandoraTV is a service provider, not an app.
Apps 3rd party developed and are easily downloadable on Content Store on SmartTVs (LG/Samsung etc), Google Play Store on Android devices (TVs, mobile phones, TV boxes & sticks), Appstore on Fire TV sticks & cubes, AppStore on iOS devices (iPhones, iPads, AppleTVs, laptops & desktops), Microsoft Store (laptops, tablets & desktops) and also via BlueStacks (an emulator that pro gamers use for pro gaming on laptops & desktops)

PM me for contacting PandoraTV

Sorry but I am still a little unclear.

So, is Pandora TV a service that is somewhat similar to Astro?
If it is, then how does the service launch/play on your Set-Top Box without prior installation of said app?

Unless you're saying that every new Pandora TV subscription will come with a pre-set Set-Top Box with the Pandora TV app already installed and ready to go.

Ah.. OK.. it's like your Netflix, Amazon Prime etc..
You pay for a subscription and install apps on your smart devices via content store/app store.
You then login to your account and from there you get your dose of endless entertainment!

Yes, but I can't seem to find the "PandoraTV" app in Google Play Store. I've also tried searching for the same via Aptoide - to no avail.

Appreciate if you could help point me at the right direction?

Thank you.
