    What would you say is the best, most powerful, fastest, fully loaded, most updated, no monthly payments stream box? I'm in Canada looking to purchase one but I wanna get the best of the best and don't want to have to worry about upgrading years to come.

      @1KnattyDread I would definitely get the vseebox elite...so many extra apps to watch TV or movies/tv shows. Tangulla is OK but they have pretty bad wifi connections. (They need to be hardwired)

    Don't understand why anyone would want this Tangible box over the Tangible Elite Max box. The Elite Max box has 5 tv services on it, not just one. This comes in handy for ppv when one doesn't work for some reason you can always switch to a different tv service.

      I have had no issues with this but be sure that your internet although shows excellent , use a VPN to test with.

The guy told me to ask att to open the ports... yeah, sure. So my question here to you is...do I need a VPN? At all the time? Thanks

    good video but does it still buffer all the time. I bought 2 of the version 1 boxes and they all buffer alot. You can't watch the football playoff games because of all the buffering. I am not a big fan of Tanggula boxes. Have you watched TV on this box. My download speed is 500MPS, so I have good internet but the boxes still buffer like crazy.

    Way to much for a generic non certified Google or Amazon Android set top box.

      I had a Tanggula box of a previous generation. It was amazing too until it wasn't.

    Buy a cheap PC laptop, HDMI to TV and stream everything for free off internet sites. Been doing it for over 11 years now !! This box has VERY BAD ratings on Amazon and sounds like it's limited to what you can do vs. a cheap laptop !!!

    This thing is a piece of shit. They include extra remote with the air mouse because the operating system thinks it's a phone, so some of the apps require finger scrolling and tapping to be usable. For $350 the interface should be far cleaner and unified. You're basically paying for free cable channels, if t hat's your goal its decent, trying to use any other streaming app is a chore. CrunchyRoll is almost unusable.
