Hi All

Can anyone tell me if it is still possible to Android TV streaming boxes pre-configured with foreign channels these days?   If so where?   PM me if you prefer

 

Thailand has cracked down on sellers of such boxes….10 years jail and a huge fine so they have disappeared.

 

buy a fresh box and load it up yourself….they all come with a browser and playstore apps pre-installed.

 

plug it in and download the following apps via browser (all you need to know is how to type with an air mouse):

 

1. Kodi and/or SPMC

 

2. Players: MX, Vplayer, MPlayer, VLC Player

 

3. TerrariumTV, Showbox

 

4. Live TV addons in Kodi are hit or miss

 

5. Best is to purchase an IPTV subscription and run it via a PVR within Kodi or SPMC.

 

Most of this sounds like greek but you just need a few days on google to research what it means.

Thanks!  Yes I thought that would be the answer.   Thanks for the guidance on players and sources.

Then try running the IPTV service using free Perfect Player and you may like it more.

i prefer kodi's internal PVR clients like SimpleTV…..cant be arsed downloading a external player and loading m3u playlists.
