Superbox catch?

Superbox catch? - Lemmy.World

From my perspective, the traditional way to acquire content from torrents and a VPN. Everyone is talking about Superbox, which actually sounds pretty cool. How does it work? What’s the catch? Can I setup another device to use the same apps without buying the box? If it gets shut down can I fire it up through a VPN? I’m guessing they host content from another country and sell the hardware at a big profit. But I’d love to know a little more. There are hosting costs somewhere… Is the profit model just to outrun those costs through hardware sales?

Nope. Superbox

I know a couple people with these and they say they really work. High quality streams and everything. I’m very curious.

… what streams? That website is super vague on what it supports. Does it come with access to gray channels or is it just a set top box running android?

I bought a box from VSee, because a friend has one and it works. It basically gets every live channel (ESPN, cable network stuff, etc,) and has a large assortment of the streams (Hulu, Max, Disney+, etc.). Netflix content is about the only one I didn’t find. The streaming is a bit clumsy, to find what you want, and some stuff doesn’t work, but mostly it’s pretty good.

I figure if this works for 6 months, I’ll at least break even. Otherwise there are lots of services that give you the same stuff for ~$12/mo, you just have to have something to log in with.

They seem to avoid listing the actual content to keep themselves out of trouble. All I did was buy the box, connect it to the wifi and turn it on.

Ah ok. So gray market rehosting. I dont pay people to profit off of piracy. Watching some di$ney without paying $24/month is one thing. Paying someone else to steal and resell is another. We all have our lines and that is too far for me.
