  1. I recently paid for Wizz TV and I can say it works very well in Pattaya using AIS (50Mbs) internet. Watching the football last night and did not buffer even a single time.

  2. NHS study showed no significant difference between the two of them. For same reduction in cholesterol would need 40mg of Simvastin for same effects as 20mg Atorvastatin. My doctor at BPH says that Atorvastatin has a slightly better survival rate in patients who have had a heart problem in the past.

  3. I use the AIS app from the google Play store on a minix android box without any problems. You have to use your AIS internet no to register it or can use a thai phone number and they will send a sms code to you that you enter on the boxes app. 

  4. I had exactly the same experience on Friday afternoon also. O Visa ext not O-A, 800k baht in bank not monthly payments. Not asked about insurance or maps/photos. Sign was still there about the appointment letter but was not given any letter. Picked up my passport on Monday afternoon and still no letter. I had timed my renewal at the same time as the 90 day report so i will have to go back in 90 days anyway so will update bank book just before so i have proof of balance should it be requested then.

  5. That is all she should need to claim the US accounts, I did this all by mail a few years ago for the Thai wife of a US citizen. should be very easy if you are legally married in the USA. Thai banks she did herself, but basically need Marriage certificate, death certificate and her ID or passport. US embassy will provide several official copies of the translated death certificate. If you have never made a will in the US then probably don't need one as she will inherit everything according to all state laws. If you have then better to make another just to replace it. Pretty easy to do can use standard templates and get it witnessed by other US citizens.

  6. Tried them about a year ago for a month. USA channels very good but had problems with UK channels buffering badly. May have been something peculiar to my set up but could never get them to work well no matter which player i used. 

  7. Yes it can. Although somethings still need work arounds ie no google play store but everything can be sideloaded. The boxes are linked to your internet so can only be hacked when connected so have to do yourself. Instructions are given in this thread. Page 18
     

     

  8. The original remote home button does take you back to the Nova launcher after using the AIS play to watch Thai TV.
    The other interesting thing that I have noticed is that it appears to be Android TV ready so i may try to load Leanback Launcher to see if it works. Hal launcher already works and is more customizable than Leanback so may just stay with that until i can find a way of re enabling Google play.

    This basic procedure also works with the newest box and update with a few minor modifications.
    4 Don't need a mouse
    6a  Turn off updates in the developer settings, Go to security settings and turn on Unknown Sources.
    9 Windows 10 use Power shell and run commands from there.

    10 I had to click on a prompt on the Playbox to allow my computer to connect

    11 There is already a package installer so can skip this step.
    12 APKpure opens up up turned sideways later so is very dificult to use and i couldn't find a way of using it. I installed ES explorer-3.2.5.5 instead. This is the last version that doesn't have all of the intrusive adverts. 
    14 There is no AIS PLAYBOX > Launcher > command. At this point power the box off and when it restarts it will ask you which launcher to use. select Nova and Every time.
    17-21 After doing this the first time My box went into a loop with google service framework turning on and off continuously. Even after a restart. I had to do a wipe and factory reset from the recovery via ADB. After that I redid all of the steps without this part.

    In my case I don't mind using a cloud account  and Es explorer to copy programs to the download folder and then using the package installer to install apk from there. Trying to install them directly from Es explorer wasn't possible for some reason, install button wouldn't highlight and couldn't click on it with a mouse either. A later version of Es Explorer may work better. Could also copy apk files to a USB stick and install them that way too.
    What i don't know yet is if turning off the updates in Developer setting will stop the updates from AIS. 
    I don't use Kodi/spmc very much so didn't try to install it. IPTV Smarters and apps like terranium worked well.

    The original AIS play app also works but as it is a launcher itself there is not an easy way to exit from it after it is started the return button doesn't take you out. I was  using an air mouse so the home button took me back. I will try the original remote later and see if that also works. If not may have to restart to get back. 

  10. Use Rarbg if need to search for movies but for regular downloading of TV shows I use https://zooqle.com with an RSS feed  or DuckieTV extension for Chrome which can be linked to a Trakt account. Both of them pretty much automates the process. 
    Torrent client qbittorent on computer and tTorrent on Android box if i don't have my computer.

  11. If is only to be used when travelling or as a bedroom one, a Firestick is adequate for your needs. Buy before you come as more expensive here. If you want something for everyday use when you are not here get an android box. For a better quality one ie $100 or above buy in your home country to get a warranty and the correct plug on the power supply. If you just want a cheap one that is about same price as a firestick then buy here but may not last too long. I would also try to get one that has an Air mouse included as navigation is so much easier. Android boxes would also let you watch downloaded movies and TV shows on a USB stick.
