    A great little box, very different to Spiderbox, options for Satellite and much more for internet streaming.

    ive had this box for around a month now and am very pleased with it
    its great having all the tutorials to follow on here which make things very easy
    for me the streaming side of things isn't to great but that's down to my sluggish internet speed but apart from that I cant fault the box whatsoever
    I think its a good buy at the price

    YES it is worth geting. has so much to offer for so little money :-)
    I have had this for few weeks now and looks prommising. both IPTV and Satelitte is very good and working as is says on papper.
    here i use a dedicated IPTV provider that works 99% of the time good. Internet speed is 50/50 so no problem with any freezes or cliches. Free IPTV is like 1000 channels that are updated often as i can see.

    Satellite is allso a very good opption, with working channels as long as you have the MScam.

    c31 when I first got mine I thought the picture was bad but you need to set the box up to achieve this. when you go on IPTV and open what you want and it starts up, then press menu it gives you ' Resolution ' if you then press either < or > on each side of ok it takes you through the resolution. I find 1080i 50Hz best for me. It will also be the same for VOD, also check your AV settings in ' System Setup ' Aspect Ratio I use ' Full Screen '. It seems changes are there to be made, but you need to find them and when you do you will find the picture quality very good.

    No problems with my Sony 4k 49" TV.
    May I suggest an eye test. Only joking.

    Check in AV in ' System Setup ' for HDMI is set correctly. If no change try another cable might be a problem with the cable.
    Channel Manager is in SAT Installations.

    c31 Go into ' System Setup ' then into AV settings, have pencil and paper ready. Then click on each in the list starting at the top to open, make a note of the setting it is on before you alter so you can go back, then try other settings and see if you get an improvement. This will take time but at least you will be slowly trying everything. One thing you have not told us is what you are in with the bad picture ie Satellite , IPTV/VOD and or everything?

    Picture quality also fine on mine. Some channels better than my sly 2tb.

    Big Downside for me is the lack of channel editor and for this reason I hardly ever use it.

    I think the picture is poor but after reading some of these posts, I shall have a fiddle with the settings again.

    Hitechbox has better picture quality than spiderboxes.
    HDMI cable make big difference.
    Use another cable than this you use now.
    Maybe this is your problem.
    For all members having new TV it is suggested to use HDMI high speed 2.0 cable.

    I use an expensive HDMI 2.0 cable that Currys gave when I bought the TV from them and as I have said I have a good picture.
