Just use any other streaming box if you're going to do something above board like that. A 300 plus dollar box specifically has extra Ram CPU power and bandwidth for private movies rather than something streaming
I purchased a "Free TV Box" with a lifetime subscription, just to find out it expired after 2 years. When I called to ask why, they said the company was purchased and the new owners offer you a year-by-year service for $100 a year. Now it is just a paperweight.
I have the Superbox S5 Pro.. I still have a problem with Picture FREEZING & being kicked out of the program I'm watching and goes back to the Start up Screen... Does your Tanggula X5 Pro Have the same problem Or is it more Stable ? Thanks for your Review of this Box....
I currently use an IPTV provider, correct me if I'm wrong, does the Tanggula X5 Pro actually have an IPTV provider included with the purchase of this device?
I got mine yesterday & returned it today. OS is Android 11, will not allow an update, and will not run half of the apps my family is interested in - particularly HULU. Also, I was unable to find any videos on how to use it and it is the most inconsistent and confusing mess that I have encountered in a long time. Pay attention to the Tetris-style packing job so that you can repack it properly to send it back.
Looks a decent enough box but definitely would not be paying anywhere near that price. Remember the box itself is fine but the subscription services are illegal and could go offline permanently at any moment because being illegal any guarantee wouldn't be honoured leaving you with a regular TV box that's not really much different to any other box costing £20 to £30.
If it doesn’t have extra channels from the previous model it’s not worth buying another.. overall Tanggula box is much better than Super Box .. i own both
one thing no one ever talks about is actually using the box to watch your favorite show or movie, is the BUFFERING. i have the X1, buffering is horrible at times. you contact support and the answer is always the same, " it looks good on our side, you need to clear cache, clear data, power off for 10 minutes, turn back on and update." i can tell you those steps never fix any thing.
The big reason why this box costs so much is the IPTV apps, and you did not cover them very well. Do they have all the local channels? All the Premium channels? All the sports channels? News channels? What about a DVR feature?
Other supposedly 8K devices claim to support 8K and HDR but I haven't found one that supports both at the same time. Most devices support HDR until it reaches 8K resolution and then switches to SDR. I'm wondering if this one is the same.
My friend from Canada has this Android IPTV box. He said the IPTV service is free from life. All you have to pay is for the IPTV box. The subscription is included. Since he live in Canada he pay like CA$600. Can you confirm that that the IPTV SERVICE is Free for life after you pay for the IPTV box
Can you please inform as to if a VPN is required for the Tanggula 5 Pro Box ? Just wondering if an ISP will allow this type of streaming. Example ISP would be Xfinity/Comcast. I'm thinking Possibly the ISP can throttle your signal using this.
@@robertramsey8871Any 4k TV box can if connected to a portable hard drive. You play straight from the hard drive. Why would you want to stream a file that size anyway?
The "catch up" tab will allow you to go back up to 7 days and watch any programs/episodes/movies that you may have missed on "live TV". Like if you missed the "big game" last sunday, you can go back and watch it.
I keep getting “cannot connect to internet when I open the tanggula live tv app”…my internet is connected and I used an ethernet cord…neither worked. Any suggestions?
Will this box install and reliably run the 'Movie HD' streaming app (for movies/TV series, available from the 'Movie HD Official' website)? I've tried doing this on Roku, Chromecast and a couple of other cheapo Android TV boxes but, sadly, no go. It IS an app I use regularly.

@@dr71399 Read the comment again ...... I wrote when the IPTV service goes belly up .. meaning when the IPTV service fails to work .... as a lot of them do, you then just have an android box. Hope that helps.
There is no "absolute best" because it depends on the individual situation. You have to consider price, performance, functionality, and tech support to determine whats right for you. If you have the cash laying around, get the Tanggula Elite Max 2, or Superbox Elite Ultra. If your on a budget, grab the ONN or the G96 Max for about $30.
This looks amazing but somewhat out of my price range. Great video explaining how it works though. I've been using Roku for about 7 years and this is really an upgrade.
That will be dependent on the streams you're viewing. Same as other boxes, some channels are very good but not all channels will be top quality or reliable.
This guy has no idea what he is taking about This is just a junk $40 box from china on Amazon. It’s all using a crappy chip and a bunnky android tablet OS. If you want live iptv you need to pay someone ten bucks a month for a service. Then Play it on whatever you want.
Because the price includes a prepaid subscription to their IPTV service. These guys have been in biz for years but they could close up shop at any moment. However, smarter move is to buy an Nvidia Shield or Fire TV Cube 3 and subscribe monthly to your choice of IPTV services for around $20/mo or less. They’re targeting Boomers that want something that’s plug and play so they can cancel cable. They’ll be fine with HDR 10 instead on Dolby.
@@NickWindham with the amount of spent to purchase a box and then pay 20 a month you could get this box and never pay subscriptions, you risk with any IPTV
@@jondough9651 I actually now subscribe to Hulu Live shared with a family member. RUclips TV is good for sharing too. More dependable than IPTV and about the same cost if you split it with a couple of people. I use Stremio for movies.
Yeah, but how MANY backdoors are baked into this device coming out of Chy-na, or Jay-pan, or Ty-whan (not typos just avoiding censorship?)

So, a $50 box with a $100 per year streaming service built in that will eventually go down? Mali 905? USB 2.0? Way out of date. We're not even talking specs like the Nvidia Shield with its out of date X1 chip. At least that has USB 3.0 and is still the best streaming box out there IMO. As for IPTV services, I guess this is for people who dont want to look around and see what's really out there that they can get cheap. That's not me though. Thanks for the video but no sale here...

It pays for itself really fast. Just think how much cable and satellite costs. 3 months and it's paid for. So if it lasts a year it's worth it.

I think a Firestick and IPTV service loaded saves you money when these boses go obsolete. Just my opinion.
