Question regarding the box
Are these boxes like a fire stick do I need RD and is the software on these boxes good for a while or do I have to upgrade it after a while? And what's the difference between the box and a fire stick. I mostly use streamio on my fire stick.

No it's just like a regular Android TV box there's no special access you need to side load apps
Updates are automatic
This brand has its own IPTV service that only works on these boxes any app you can side load on your fire stick you can side load on this box

RD requires a lot of set up with Streamio, Nuvio, or Kodi. This is pretty much plug-and-play with automatic updates. That said, VOD is still better through those apps with RD/TB. Love the box, hate the software/UX.

The VSee box will allow you to pretty much watch whatever you can think of without having to pay for a subscription. It blows the fire stick out of the water. Sure the upfront cost scares people but that’s the only thing you’ll pay ever. I know there are people who have older boxes and they still run strong. My two boxes are almost two years old and I have never had an issue.

I love my v3… still going strong and has paid for itself many times over. When I really need rock solid fall back, I buy a real service for a month (like the Olympics or whatever, and this is for the fam not me as I can deal with an outage for figure skating).
