for chinese shows, can use 热门电视剧 (hotdrama2) but i think this app needs a mouse. the user interface is in chinese

for those apps that use the mibox remote, u can also install kodi, then these add ons: drama24h, AZdrama, DramaGo. These 3 apps hv TVB dramas in canto voice and chi sub. dramago is the most updated n has the latest shows. azdrama and maybe drama24h hv some korean drama dubbed in canto. but not many and these dramas are quite old.

the downside to using these 3 is that the user interface is in eng, so might be hard for ur grandparents

last option is u install chinese aggregator apps like 电视猫(More TV), 布丁视频 (Pudding TV). can use both mouse and mibox remote. these apps have TVB, jap , kor drama. tvb drama are avail in canto voice and chi voice. but jap and kor dramas are not mandarin dubbed. also such apps might be hard for your grandparents to use coz a drama may hv multiple sources (different streaming sources eg. tudou, youku, letv etc). some sources are laggy in sg. some are smooth. so hv to trial and error to find which sources are good

WOAH WOAH, SPANKS!!!!:s12::s12::s12::s12:

I'm not sure this has been asked before but I'm keen to find out after reading several pages.
What's the difference between the 3rd gen and 4th gen?
I'm using starhub optical fibre, which version is recommended??
Thank You for reading

Obvious- 4th Gen does not have usb, will have problem a connectivity, both may not have enough storage, no playstore, make life difficult for International users if not tech savvy enough. Not rec both, get other brand with playstore (min 8 gb) will make your life much easier.

Sorry noob in this. I got some questions...

1. connections is by WIFI. Why do i need USB?
2. The video is streamed. Why do i need high storage space?
3. What is the use of playstore when there are apps that can play/stream videos?

1. some pple able to pull a LAN cable for the connection, so the USB can put LAN adapter

2. to be exact, it's for the installation of some but since can move apps to SD card, it shldn't be too much of a prob
3. some pple just like play store, for me, there are other ways to get apps, so no worries abt it

Is the content on youku and iqiyi Geoblocked now? unable to view a lot of the things as most of it are only playable in China.
