Vikings4ever 550 Posted July 3 Sounds like every other streaming device. Yeah, you can stop paying for cable, but you have to subscribe to other streaming services (Hulu, Disney, Max, Netflix, Youtube TV, etc) and/or watch free streaming apps that have assloads of ads.

Fnord 2,257 Posted July 3 Seems like a juiced-up Amazon fire stick. I'm sure it works well, but you still have to pay for the services. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ron_Artest 1,439 Posted July 3 I've seen these things and looked into them. They're not exactly legal, the quality is suspect, prime to hacking and could just stop working one day and there is nothing you can do about it. Otherwise yeah go for it. There are some subreddits that talk about them r/piracy and r/androidtvboxes Most common complaint is one day they just stop working and there is nothing you can do about it.

Good to see you 5Points It is like a jacked fire stick with Kodi from back in the day but it has everything- I mean everything.

They're not exactly legal, That’s what I would think but you can get them in Walmart and Amazon so I can’t see how they would be illegal - also cannot see how they can be legal.

WhiteWonder 2,732 Posted July 3 you linked a shopify site with an inflated price that is then discounted .... not too different from most Prime Day deals though. I don't know much about this super box but if it really is like a jailbroken firestick running Kodi, etc I remember trying a friends several years ago and not being impressed. I will stick to my Roku Stick and password sharing. I don't mind ads and I currently pay 99 cents per month for Hulu, Disney+, Peacock, Prime, YouTube TV with a sports package and Netflix. Since Netflix is the only one that really cares about password sharing, and even then the login I have for it has been working 75% of the time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Firsticks allow unauthorized apps to be installed. Anything that the Superbox has installed you can put on a firestick. I haven't looked specifically at the Superbox, because I don't have the need to, but a bunch of these just have an IPTV service installed. And instead of a monthly subscription they get the equivalent of years worth of subcription in the price of the box. And then that's why you hear that they just stop working after awhile. If you know where to look you can get a free IPTV service. Others cost ~ $10/mo. And a paid for one will include 18,000 channels or so around the world with 4,000 or so in the US. All PPV and on demand included. But it's on the fringe of being illegal so the services pop into and out of existence all the time. Personally I just find the free ones and I haven't had any issue watching anything I want for over a decade now. On a firestick. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The reality is, these services can crack down on it if they really want but many of them don't care and would rather not turn people off. Netflix can afford to take that action because they are the best. I also HIGHLY doubt you have never shared anything without paying for your own. you're literally the 4th responder to a thread about a "not exactly legal" device, talking about being on piracy subreddits Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am relatively certain I can afford more than you but that’s beside the point … it’s not really anything to do with “acting like an adult”. Adults save money. Why were you at a flea market? Friends, family, neighbors lend each other shiit all the time. What does having your own family plan and your own insurance have to do with sharing streaming services? if you’re personally against people doing it, good for you? But you’re losing me at the crying about being a grown man and what you can afford Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
