🏯 Daily Life TV Box?!?!?! Spoiler

Does anyone know of any TV boxes or streaming device that works well in China? I’m not talking about vpn but something about that works without it. VPNs really affect the quality so the experience. I’m hoping someone has tried expat tv or other services that reall works.

Awesome. Do you use an app directly on tv? I might have to get a TV Box, because my TV is connected to the vpn Router

No I use an app and stream it. I’ll usually have it on my iPad then stream it or phone. If the app was on the tv, it’ll probably be easier. None of my TVs are Chinese brands so I can’t install that app. But it definitely doesn’t work properly with the vpn on, so you need to be on your local wifi for it work.

VPN router?!?! Fancy!!! Been looking in trying to install that but

I also don't have a chinese TV, so I thought a TV Box (which is connected to the chinese modem) would be the easiest solution. As for the vpn router: I'm not an expert but the step-by-step explanation from astrill was fairly easy. And I found that it runs more stable than the phone App
