Azskybox HDC900

[ultrakiasu]

With the launch of fibre network and more capable TV boxes, I think IPTV has come up as an acceptable alternative (still not 100% yet) that require less investment in both time and money. Though not 100% foolproof, but I guess you can watch your stuff with much ease, economical, dignity and fun.

I am still on maxonline cable modem, not even fibre network, even this, I could receive IPTV with relatively stable live broadcast stream. Been watching live broadcast from HK, Macau, Taiwan, China and Vietnam, along with Asian version of international channels. This is on-top of the video-on-demand of thousands of movies (classic and latest).

The recent IPTV currently based on 2 common platforms, either Android or the CloudOS (YunOS).
These extend smart TV features to normal LCD TV.

I am one of the frogs which had climbed out of the well, no longer restrict myself to a small pond.

If you still think IPTV TV boxes broadcast are laggy, probably had not been exposed to it.
Anyone exposed to the latest IPTV will be an instant convert.

The current cabletv boxes with "tweaked patches" are for rich fellas, willing to pay china supplier for their irregular periodic patches or take risk to challenge the *Hub team.

Yeah. Also embarked on the journey on IPTV and been quite OK (not too bad).

However, there are several channels which is "exclusive" to greenpipe, thus, no streaming via IPTV is available since the source is coming off mainly from China.

Just get any dual core box that's cost < SGD100 will do. Thereafter look out for those APKs to install into your box. If you do not want to read and investigate so much, can try paid subscription like CloudTV, Season IPTV and etc. Some paid subscription do provide trial which you can try it out before you make your purchase.

If you intending to use IPTV boxes via WiFi, try getting a box that comes with external antenna for better reception. For example, Minix 5 mini comes with internal build in antenna, it has poor reception as compared those with external antenna (e.g. Minix X7, X8, X8-H).

Quad core based box better for KitKat Android 4.0.
I am a poor man son, I am using older RK3188 based IPTV box, becoz I can use many 3rd party "rooted & OC" firmware.
If I abit richer, I will get HiMedia HD600Aii or NEO MiniX X8.

Too poor to pay a 199rmb/year (S$40) [12mth + 2mth bonus] subscription for 250+ channel live broadcast, now on a free 30-days trial on QYTV, once trial sub expired, i will either get a mac-address changer, and ask for another 30 days until they discover my scheme, or i could switch to another IPTV provider SeasonIPTV, AsiaDVB, CloudTV... and ask for trial.. and repeat..

Yes, I am a cheapo..

You really are beyond reproach. I have edited your previous post, infracted you, warned you and the you come up with a post with subs to a payserver!!!!

You have previously been banned for one month, and that was for something similar. This time is two months, next time is a permanent ban.

AZSKYBOX HDC900 REVIEW

1. Whatever you do, "DO NOT" buy this box. There are too many issues with the box.

2. I have owned this box for nearly 4 months and have had ample time to review this.

3. Issues face are as follows (just to name a few):
a) Box arrived completely uselss. None of the channels were watchable. All channels were scrambled.
b) Trying to reach the seller was futile. Seller never responded to emails to solve the problem
c) In the end, I managed to ask a friend who bought a similar box to ask his seller to assist.
d) A Different seller to the one I bought from..... whom sent me some files to update the firmware.
e) Upon update, the machine worked for about 20 minutes before the picture completely blacked out. The issue, the firmware was not compatible to HDMI cable (had to revert to RCA yellow cable) to be able to view video. Lucky I had one as the TV completely blacked out!!
f) With an old yellow RCA cable I was finally able to return to the menu setting to fix the issue with yet another version of firmware.

3. To cut a long story short, after trying 3-4 different firmware upgrades, the AZSKYBOX HDC900 is still extremely problematic. Latest firmware update Dec 2014

a) The channels often freezes and hangs
b) The channel numbering system is completely haywired (not the same as original)
c) Scrambled signal always pops up.... Thus you have to reboot the system every few minutes (damn irritating).
d) Every few seconds an irritating message pops up saying that the system is trying to connect to the xxxxxxxxxxx, while the pictures freezes until reconnection is established.
e) Several channels are missing including EPL channels.


If you buy this box, you will spend hours if not days trying to set it up (if your seller is patient and willing to help, most are not!!)

There is no company help desk or anything. If your immediate seller or salesperson refuses to help you, you are screwed!! Other salesperson or sellers from the same company will not help (because no benefit to them)!!

Inspite of all the issues, the online update by network (for firmware update) does not work anymore. Thus, it makes you more dependent on the seller.

After 4 months of being launched in the market. As of today Dec 2014, the situation has not improved. The AZSKYBOX HDC900C is still plagued with problems and issues. I am currently using a 1GPS or 1000MBPS connection to the internet and still face issues with lagging and the picture freezing.

If you were to buy such boxes, ensure that the Account settings can be modified. Been experimenting with them.
I had tried playing with DM800 series, and cheapo cheena boxes, played with the ccc*m and z-*m config.
There is no need to invest on new hardware, just need to pay peanuts for "servers account".

Just change server if the current one cmi.

PS: Do not PM me for server info. Google is your friend.

Note: Don't experiment yourself if you know nuts, your set may be crippled with incorrect settings.

My HD-C900 no more working...and supplier no more contactable...shit...supplier is hubei zhouyang technology...so...do not buy anymore stuff from this unreliable/irresponsible company...

[jatrophaseed]

Most china boxes worked only 3 to 4mth, it their standard offer.
But nobody would listen....

[spunky1]

Mine has also stop working (Azskybox HDC900) for the last 4-5 days!!

Bought from Artpo Enterprise Co. Limited.

Just so that you know, these sellers open multiple accounts under different names on Aliexpress / Alibaba to push their boxes.

Generally, they all work together for the same syndicate / supplier.

My seller has also gone Missing. Stop replying to whatapps messages and emails.

If you read my post dated 22/09/14, I've already commented that the lineup of channels for this box are not according to LCN (local channel numbering). All channel have their unique lcn & some box can auto detect therefore arrange the channels accordingly but not the hdc900.

Not sure about now but i will definately not go for this box. Already gotten this box free from some ah tiong but tried for 30mins, i keep it back into the box & return it. Both HD & SD resolution are sucks.

After getting the box to work in February 2015, so far, it is still working....but not fine.
On everyday watching the programs using the box, definitely out of sudden, it will freezed.
once freezed, it means you have to keep power on/off...until the prob resolved or you give up.
it is especially frustrating when watching movie and the freezed happened...and very high chance, it means you can forget about completing the movie/shows.

i have reached this state of reviewing to find another dream box to replace it.
anyone are using HDC4000? Or any recommendation for a much stable performance dreambox?

[ypvs125]

Dm800se, dm800sev2 or zgemma h1 can use..other than dm models, better don't buy.
