If you setup a private DNS or a VPN on your Android box and not your router, why would it work?

How to Setup a Home Theater System (HT) and the Best Sound for Music on Separates with One Set of Speakers. I'll tell you how I did it with my system. I have a Marantz surround receiver, a separate high end stereo pre-amp and high end amp with one set of Martin Logan front speakers. I also have...

A no tech friend asked me to help him get started with our IPTV. Since he and his wife are not Tech people, I'm thinking of getting him started on an inexpensive Mag box. He likes to record movies, so which version of Mag would you suggest?

Questions I Always Ask When Putting In A Home Theater System... I'm retired now, but I used to design home theater systems on the side. It's a hobby that got out of hand. The questions I always asked before I started. Is the system just for TV or is listening to music important? If it's...

I have a pretty good audio system, so I converted most of my music to FLAC and put them on a USB stick. Attached it up to my Android box, so I could listen to my music on my audio system. VLC makes a good player for music that goes through my android to my receiver. The other nice thing about...

I've tried most of the different kinds of independent TV viewing apps and find I like STBEMU the best. For me it's easy to use and like my old Mag box.

I've been off and on this forum since it was started. I remember when I could come here or send friends to learn and have questions answered. Now it seems if you post anything good about another STB, you get pummeled for posting. If the forum is only about Buzz boxes, why do you have all the...

I like to visit thrift shops and see what kind of toys I can pickup. In the past I've found a couple old Firecubes along with some really good usable stuff. A couple weeks ago I scored a 2017 Nvidia Shield, without the necessary power cable, for $5. I contacted Nvidia to find out what I needed...

First let me start by posting what EDID is. c/p Extended Display Identification Data (EDID) is a metadata standard that lets display devices like monitors, televisions, and projectors communicate their capabilities to the video source. When using HDMI, the EDID from your television tells the...

Just bought an Ugoos X4Q Android 11 X4Q Pro 4G+32G Android 11 This is one of a series of Android X4Q TV Boxes from Ugoos. The series is about 2 years old, which means it's considerably less expensive than many of the top boxes available today. It does come with a couple of launchers, but I like...

Hi My much loved Minix U22 died the other day and I'm presently using a few Firesticks and a couple of old Firecubes I picked up at a thrift store. They're working well, but fire stuff has it's limitations. I'm considering buying an android box under $150 with 4DDR and 32 storage. My first...

Is there an android app that will change the channel and time record a program, like a DVR?

I posted on the Minix board that I have almost 7000 views on my review of the U22-XJ, so we were wondering if anyone bought a U22-XJ because of my review? BTW, I'm still using it and still am most satisfied with my purchase. No, I'm not a shill for Minix, :) BTW, I just bought an Apple Watch...

After going through all or most all of the non-stalker IPTV android apps, I've come to the conclusion that IPTV Extreme is, for me, the best. Among the apps I played with are, Smarters, XCIPTV, Lazy, Perfect Player, Simple IPTV Player, Tivimate, IPTV, rIPTV, Televiso and a few others. I find...

Just put in my order for the new Minix Neo U22-XJ on Amazon. I finally got tired of fighting my Zidoo H6 Pro. Wonderful physical box with the worst pain in the ass firmware. What a shame, because it has fabulous picture and sound, but the bugs finally drove me away. When I get a chance to test...

I was watching one of the cable cutting videos on youtube the other night. The host was talking about ACE and Dish going after IPTV subscribers. RocketIKS was one of the IPTV companies he mentioned.

Hi I don't have a debit card and will not get one. Is there away to pay without using bitcoin. I'd like to get a lifetime purchase? Otherwise, after many years, I'll just look for another IPTV service! Thanx, JJ

Now that they have the firmware worked out I have no problem recommending my Zidoo H6 Pro. A friend of mine bought a Nvidia Shield that I put together for him. Personally I like my Zidoo H6 Pro better. It's also cheaper then the Shield. The sound is excellent and the picture and colors are...
