Think I go sign up starhub go box for $199

There is another thread raised about this box.
You MUST subscribe to the starhub go apk for the box to be functional.
I am not sure whether you can install other apk and run with it.

It is just a Android TV box on $199 includes over 50 Live TV and Catch-up channels from Go Family for 6 months.
Or 24-months contract with Fibre Broadband $54.80 /month (box could be on rental) includes over 50 Live TV and Catch-up channels from Go Family for 24 months.

The Starhub Go App would be pre-installed.

I signed up the $199 package, no contract but need 6 months to break even.

Now I can watch on any 4 devices and streaming is excellent at home. It will cost $14.90 per month after 6 months.

I have bad experience with those pay 1 sum and 'free' TV boxes; always close down after awhile and quality is bad.

Do note that Starhub Go can only do 1 streaming per Hub iD account.

Meanwhile do checkout on those Starhub Go Select Packs.
The Go Select TV Series have TVB dramas, K-dramas, HBO and more; as in Starhub Go channels for $9.90 /month.

Any specification on the box ?
Would SH be tracking on what you install inside the box ?
Any sd slot for memory expansion ?

There should be a sticky post that say don't buy any TV box that offer free streams.

Don't be so dumb to fall for sellers that manually install apps you can download from the internet yourself for free.

Especially all those not legal streaming apps. I literally googled the name of the app one of the promoter using and downloaded the APK on my phone. Lo and behold it works just like the TV box demo.

Unless you are too stupid to install apps on a android phone /TV box then go ahead and get robbed by buying those TV boxes.

Ps my 5 year old cousin got a $40 TV box and he himself downloadand installed the same apps those scummy salesman are using. If he can do it so can you.

Also if all you do with your TV box is to watch video streams, don't spend over $50 for one.
If you are a hardcore video geek that watches h.265 4K hdr 10bit 7.1 DTS surround sound blue ray rips then get a more expensive TV box i.e the Nvidia shield.

I am curious on how your 5 year old cousin determine which box is the best and where and how he got the box.
