Is this IPTV/Android Box shyt family-friendly to use? It seems like someing tech-savvy folks like us would figure out easily, but the average person would constantly need help.

Yeah I wasn't too concerned but trying to get my Grams off cable too (not sure how I would even train her on the GBOX, lol), she mainly watches Coronation street so finding a proper CBC script was imperative :dead:

Lucky for her it actually has all 6000 episodes, updated right to current day :wow:

Nice bro I was planning on picking up one myself! Saw a cheap on at Wal-Mart but wanted to do some more research first. Heard that pretty much most main CDN stations are free to air. Think Ill cop one now of its working for you.

Get an air mouse or track ball keyboard remote combo ASAP, the remotes on these things fukking suck out the box since most of the apps are meant to be used with touchscreens.


If you use Netflix or HBO Go, neither will be in full HD, but you can obviously get around that by using Kodi with plugins (Genesis), Showbox, Youtubeonfire or HDCinema.

I have 3 different boxes, Amazon FireTV, Roku 3 and a 4k capable Android box, I like the FireTV the best but if you set up the Android box right it can be almost as dope. I didn't have the time to set up the Android box when I got it, but since I got it I've set it up right and it's dope.
