does evpad got smooth buffering?
tv box is mainly for multimedia usage.... browser is just additional feature.
if want to use browser on tv, might as well use mini pc with better specs, keyboard and mouse..
i don't like chromecast cause it consume your phone battery.
see your budgets ba.....
1. Smart Tv with inbuilt dvb-t2 ($???)
2. dvb-t2 receiver ($15) + mi tv box s ($70)
3. dvb-t2 receiver ($15) + chromecast ($50) / mi tv stick ($35)
4. Install mewatch older version.
using phone or browse web on tv is hard for elderly. The most easy way is voice search.Why not if it can be done? It's always nice to have options. I know some elderly people whom rather browse web on tv than on their mobiles.

hi all, thanks to all the experts here for sharing good info on TV boxes.
I need advice on my current problem...
I have been using an old Android box running on Android 6. My TV is not compatible with Digital TV, n is connected to this box via HDMI.
Up to a few days ago, I was happily using this box mainly for:
1) Mewatch - to watch local TV channels since I cannot use Digital TV
2) Viu - to watch dramas
3) the occasional Youtube video
However a few days ago, they forced us to use the latest version of Mewatch, there was an error n I cannot watch local channels live anymore.
I have been reading up, at first I was hoping that by buying a new box would solve my problem, but to my understanding it is not straightforward at all:
A) if I buy a new box with Android TV OS (Google certified)
I can use Google Cast (Chromecast built-in) to cast to my TV, from my Mewatch app on my phone, phone --> TV box --> TV
But I cannot use Viu anymore n I have to pay for Viu Premium to cast the same way as Mewatch.
B) if I buy a new box with Android OS (meaning phone OS)
I cannot do Google Cast, but I can still install Viu app n watch on TV for free without cast. To watch local channels, I have to replace my TV which I plan to do soon (as it is quite old).
May I know is there is a better option than the above 2? Please correct me if my understanding of Option A n B is wrong.
Thanks in advance!!
