Android TV Box Thread

[GLANIMAL]

Advice to everyone buying these boxes...please dont let anybody sell you dreams...ymodified toboxes are good..but u need to know how to operate the them amd the apps within them..these apps are forever updating and amd you would have to knownhow to do it as well..these boxes only cost btw 60us to 100us and men throwing a couple apps in there and selling for 1400tt..craziness..plzz do some research..everything is on youtube...

Personally i bought the nvidia tv and it works seamless...android tv os is alil different to normal android os as well

1400$ for a box with apps is crazy, I agree. On the other hand, 1400$ for a box, an air mouse and a modified platform is worth it.

\\

nope those modified platform always updating...and if sum1 is new to the system..he would always have to call the seller..and get a run around..especially since apps works and sometimes goes down and stays down and there are newer apps...the buyer dont have an idea of newer apps and when apps goes down ..he is out of service.its a big hassle..yes it works...but it is not seamless..you need to know what is going on...and for that you all still selling a dream...


1400 nuh bad..at least educate your customers properly..cuz i had friends who buy them and say is a big hassle when apps go down and they dont know what to do

I agree, chaps who selling these boxes must have no problem getting headache call all hour of the day

I've said it before. I rather get a Roku or AppleTV and pay for services that I'm sure are working all the time than go for free thing and half the streams not playing, not up right now, get taken down, needs to update or server slow.

Duane 3NE 2NR you can also pay for services on an android box
Also you can customize addons such as Genesis to select the server you know works 99% of the time automatically play videos and then also eliminate the servers that dont work.
Once the user is patient and willing to learn how this media system works he will have no complaints.

A nice free app for android is Pluto TV check it out folks think it can be used via a browser and on the roku also

[pugboy]

^that is easy for a semi tech person to say
but how do you explain that to a nontech tanty ?

[gastly369]

Tanty hadda get on board..

My parents using it normal now...

Or " ah to old for this mentality "

Roku and AppleTV don't need that patience and learning process.

it don't matter what platform though,
all free streaming kodi pulling from same sources, genesis, icefilms etc
let's not try to pretend any kodi/android device any better than any other in
terms of the content being streamed(for free)

lol..tell them


the man operating like he have a box with apps that everthing works flawlessly and all streams works flawlessly...i Have a 500gig nvidia shield tv..really bought for sitcoms and cartoon..thaz about...movies..i get on bluray and watch via my hd projector with surround...movie quality on any system aint all that ..nothing to compare to bluray and master hd7 surround

[pugboy]

Not trying to diss anybody but i have spent last few days reading up on this android box kodi thing whilst playing with my install on a fire stick.

The reality is the boxes and fire stick etc are little computers which have kodi(formerly called xbmc) video software installed on them which has the main feature of being able to pull the video from other places on the internet(illegally?)

The places supplying these sources are no different than torrent networks
Sure there are different cosmetic makeups of how the kodi interface looks but under the hood it is the same concept no matter if a gbox or fire stick

So as usual ymmv

[sharkman121]

i installing too much builds on top of builds, gotta do a clean wipe and fresh install later. Might try iconsultech.

Nope not using any those services

[simplec]

who is paying for the iptv service plus that service it unreliable, my suggestion increase your price to 1000 and get a better iptv service ... there is http://www.ntv.mx/index.php?c=2&a=0&p=10 ,https://www.wsswebhost.com/cart.php?gid=3 , http://livego.tv/cms/channels need more quality

[R-H-D]

THE FREE IPTV SERVICES AND THE ONES PEOPLE HAVE BEEN LEECHING ARE UNRELIABLE,
4 Months now we have been using an IPTV service no problems at all works good over 900Chs now PPV movies on demand also.
What IPTV service you are paying for SIMPLEC?
