Hi all, I miss the moment that we can use ppmate or ppstream to watch china TV channels and different countries channels for free long time ago... currently all of us MCO at home and I think is the best time to watch these free channels again.

Is there any recommended free alternative works similar to ppmate or ppstream?

Thanks in advance for any recommendation

Nowadays still using this kind of software? If your home has Unifi/Time/Maxis Fiber, I don't suggest you to use these kind of software again because these kind of software makes your home broadband lags.

ppstream only works for broadband with 20 years ago because last time we are still using streamyx 1mbps/2mbps/4mbps/8mbps. The upload speed for streamyx is very slow. However, due to optical fiber is now common in all city and town areas. We should stop using that kind of streaming software.

You should now using XFPlay, link here http://www.xfplay.com/
Just download and install the software on your Windows 10, the download speed will be very slow please be patient. The file size just 18.4MB only.

Make sure you have to install Google Chrome and set as your default web browser because this software is only support Google Chrome. So for those who are using Mozilla Firefox or other web browser, please switch to Google Chrome.

Use your Google Chrome and visit to this website "http://www.ixftv.com".
So everytime when you want to watch a drama or movie, the web browser will pop up a message like below.


Just open it and wait to let xfplay stream for the video.

Sometimes the video may stream with errors, such like no sound, fast forward, stream failure and etc. Try to exit xfplay then go back to the episode page, then press F5 to refresh the webpage to bring out the pop up message to ask for play with xfplay again.

Loading speed is depends on the hottest and latest dramas, some old drama may stream a bit slower. New drama may stream higher speed.
