Everything works straight out of the box, and the video quality is not the best, but at the same time, not bad at all for the price. Found a few issues below and hopefully, they can fix with a firmware or software update:

1. VPNs work fine on wireless, but if you use a LAN cable, the box loses connectivity altogether until you remove the LAN cable and reconnect it back or reboot the box or reboot the system.

2. Bluetooth connectivity to speakers drops off when switching between apps. Bluetooth has to be reconnected for it to work. Luckily it has an audio port so you can just hardwire out until they fix it.

3. I called their support team to see if there are firmware upgrades to this model (I couldn't find it online), but got a pre-recorded message saying they don't take calls from mobile phones... an interesting one that.

Not sure if this is how it works or I have a faulty one. Otherwise, not bad, and it will serve its purpose.

I've been using more than a year, No issue at all! Highly recommend! I've been using more than a year, No issue at all! Highly recommend!

This box has converted my aging "Smart TV" into a 2021 TV! It justs works, and my technophobic partner mastered the remote in seconds. Great product This box has converted my aging "Smart TV" into a 2021 TV! It justs works, and my technophobic partner mastered the remote in seconds. Great product

Only using via wireless internet, connects much more reliably than the Vodafone box, but resolution not always so great. Haven't tried a direct satellite hookup yet.

Fast response times, easy to setup.

A bit frustrating to set up if you follow the instructions re wifi connection, and have had issues with remote confusing signals with the tv (LG) remote - eg. mute the tv, and the Dish changes to channel 9. Would probably lean towards vodafone tv if had the choice again A bit frustrating to set up if you follow the instructions re wifi connection, and have had issues with remote confusing signals with the tv (LG) remote - eg. mute the tv, and the Dish changes to channel 9.

Yes like all technology it is not perfect BUT living in Dunedin means small, old, wooden houses that are arm's reach from the neighbours so bunny ears aren't an option and the satellite is nine times out of ten either not hooked up or not in the correct position. This can run purely on internet, I found best if it has a cable straight to the router. Also fantastic that PB Tech has payment options!!

Great service, product arrived quickly and installation instructions very clear. However, I have some difficulty when watching a series on TV on Demand, I can't get onto the next episode without going out of it and doing a search again, then clicking onto the next episode. Other than that all is fine Great service, product arrived quickly and installation instructions very clear.
