Thanks for advice raksrules.
I am also the kind of person that don't like to fiddle with settings, kodi. I just want to plug in the box and start watching tv. I come home tired from my job, so I feel I need to rest and don't want to fiddle. And on myindian.tv I need to add urls in my box, and lot of configuration in order to get it to work with the box. And they are selling an box called Mag box, this isn't an android box. I prefer to have an android box.
I have been reading a lot and I'm going here to share my conclusion if there are anyone else from the indian community that also are looking for indian iptv box.
There are 3 different models that are offering indian tv channels.
Shava iptv: Only indian channels. By reading amazon reviews you find many clients with horrible experience
Jadoobox iptv: Only indian channels. Easy to use box, some clients are happy with it. Others are telling to avoid it
Easybox iptv: Android box, many good reviews on Amazon.
I am now using the easybox iptv. And I can recommend it, it got lot of other channels other than Indian channels. Like U.K channels, American channels.
I have couple of queries for you and some inputs from my side after I have setup Kodi on my Amazon Fire Stick.
Queries:
1. How much did you pay for the EastTV box and from where and can you give me a link ?
2. How stable are the channels ? And can you list some popular Hindi entertainment and movie channels ?
3. Is the amount you paid one time or recurring ? Asking because I know couple of services which sell a box for say $250 but never mention that there is a recurring $100 or so every year after first year.
4. Is the transmission as per your local time or any random time ?
5. Is there DVR / Catch up thing like can I go back in time and watch a TV show (from say yesterday 8 PM) ?
Sorry so many questions, answer when you have time.
Now my inputs here after adding Kodi...
If you install Kodi, install the cCloud Addon as it has lot of Indian channels. Since my concern is always Hindi channels, I search for "Hindi" and I get lots of channels. All the ZEE Channels are US Timings and HD. They are actually taken from official ZEE website (they started something called zee family some time back in US). They always work.
Also I get Star Gold (UK Transmission) and Filmy (non HD) and mTunes (music) and few others and almost NO buffering (I have 15 Mbps connection)
Basically this addon has lot of Indian channels and most work always which is great.
BUT BUT BUT...
This is not a replacement for ME for Sling TV International. This is because there are lot of channels we need are not there and also you can say that I am paying for convenience here and my wife would never be comfortable with Kodi and stuff. All sometimes she watches TV on sling TV app on iPad Air in Kitchen so that helps her. Also you cannot beat the experience of surfing through channels like a normal TV and most important for us is the DVR like functionality going back till 7 days.
