Depending on your needs you may consider the following options, from easy to more difficult
1) Starhub fibre TV or SingTel TV
2) Starhub Go Streaming Box
3) Google Chromecast
4) Apple TV 4k
5) Mi Box S or Nvidia Shield TV running official Android TV OS
6) Amazon Fire TV stick 4k or Amazon Fire TV Cube
7) Other barebone Android TV boxes
8) Preloaded boxes like UnblockTech Ubox
9) Other preloaded boxes sold locally. Avoid them.
10) Not HW boxes but just paid IPTV subscription. Not recommended in general
Of course there are other alternatives like smart TV from Samsung (Tizen OS), LG (Web OS) and Sony/Sharp/Philips (Android TV OS), of which Android TV OS is the smartest with more apps. Then there are things like Roku box which is popular in US but may not be good for use in Singapore.
On the paid apps side, there are legitimate services as well, like Netflix, SingTel TV Go, SingTel Cast, Toggle, Starhub Go, TVB Anywhere SG, Viu, etc. Most of these more established legitimate streaming apps support Chromecast except TVB Anywhere SG. So it is good to buy things like ChromeCast dongle or Mi Box S even though you may not be able to install apps like Starhub Go on to Mi Box S itself.
