6.1  while M1 got Big MiBox 

https://www.m1.com.sg/personal/tv

6.2 (why 6.2 because the content is "local")

you also can get starhub compatible box

where you can get "free" access to starhub or singtel channels

8. So there is Cheap "Android" media box 

that has overtake Microsoft media box

Actually every Singapore just want to have

a box to access to free show in the Internet  

9. Technically, I want to get a box

9.1 which run on Andorid OS even upgrade to Lollipop

9.2 can hack into recovery or ROOT it

9.3 able to load app to access to various content providers east or west

9.4 able to have multiple USB ports to connect to 

wireless mouse and keyboard and USB HDD/SAN

9.5 Can invest even Quad core CPU or 2Gb RAM/8G ROM etc

9.6 as a backup "PC"

9.7 direct Ethernet connector rather than USB to UTP adaptor

11. Still the content topics will be decisive factor

if you watch US show then 10, 2. 3. will do

but again you need Republic Telco to have a VPN

to bypass IDA to access playboy etc

but if need to access to China channel

then you need China or Taiwan HK Channel

There are times you need VPN

(which not exist as even China Channel is censored)

but for the time being

I will use my backup hp W7

to watch PPTV , cloudTV etc

and find ways to download ...
