So I see the guys at the mall demoing their boxes that have thousands of channels, and it works flawlessly. Yet when I install Kodi + the various recommended plugins I can't get hardly anything to play. It always says something about "activating" the box when I click on channels, and still others just don't have a stream.
What are these guys selling their boxes doing? is it setup differently? are they subscribing to some IPTV service and demoing that instead as a trick??? I have heard the term "Stalker box" but not sure what that means.
Basically they sell the boxes for like $350, lifetime updates, etc and I'm wondering what their setup it like for it to work so flawlessly.
I have a Mi Box 4k, put Kodi on it, and also tried add-ons and then the Oxgen theme thing and still doesn't work, although it looks great and makes me feel like it MIGHT work but doesn't.
Thanks in advance!
for that price range, you could have gotten an Nvidia Shield. Don't be buying stuff like this from malls spur of moment. Do you research, lots of info around. If they were showing you live TV, then they probably have some kind of IPTV, which is a service you need to pay separately. Many options to choose from.
Doesn't sound like they have inlcuded any IPTV in your package, did they say anything, instructions? Don't seem like it. This is how they get people at the malls. They see a ready to go box there, and expect it to plug in and work no problems, forever. You can buy mi box from places like amazon and walmart (US) for lot cheaper.
