* This is not a Food Review.
Before I buy any product, especially electrical or electronic products, I will go online and search for the reviews, to know what are the pros and cons, what is the feedback from users and whether is it worth the price. After getting all the information, only I will decide. Of course, I have exceptional case that I bought the product without reading any review or only read some of them (Those that I really love it without need to think for more). For TV box, it will be good for you to get more information before getting a suitable one as there are a lot in the market now.
Which TV Box to get? I think this is the main question that you will ask. I am not sure about the rest, but I have one to recommend here: 1OTT Social TV.

1OTT Social TV is a TV Box that can let you watch your favorite show or listening to your favorite music on the big screen whenever you want by direct streaming through your internet connection, with only ONE time payment, with NO additional subscription fee and NO hidden cost. This product is the brainchild of Cloud Media, a company pioneering in Connected Entertainment Market, responsible for powering the World’s First Internet Connected TV – the HP MediaSmart and developer of the Award-Winning Popcorn HourTM Networked Media.

It’s a Linux based media player that comes preloaded with 40+ public apps such as Facebook, Youtube, Games, Cooking, Fashion & Lifestyle, Health & Education, etc. It’s also acts as an open platform / marketplace for 3rd party app developers to promote their Private Apps
Second question that you may ask, which is important as well (to me), how much of internet speed is needed for the 1OTT Social TV to stream the content? The answer is, 2MB. A minimum of 2MB of internet speed is recommended to view almost all of the content but 4MB is needed if you want to stream live TV.
What you can do with 1OTT Social TV? As you know, it is a TV Box, of course you can use it to watch movies and series. If compare to other TV Box out there like the Mi Box which I owned one, you no longer need to pay and subscribe to any other package to view the IP TV. It has 50++ Live TV Channels from China International Broadcast Network with all the latest TV programs, drama series and movies from China, Hong Kong and Taiwan.
Besides, you can view your social media through the 1OTT Social TV as well, Facebook, Twitter, Weibo, YouTube, you named it. You also can mirror your tablet or smartphone screen to your home TV by using the iOSCast or Miracast. 1OTT Social TV Box also let you to access your favorite collection of videos, photos and music conveniently from your PLEX server at anytime and anywhere.
For parents, there are endless hours of education content that you can learn and enjoy the fun together with your kids. If they are bored with the learning, Cartoon or Animation channels are available too! I’m sure they will love them!
After you have the brief idea on 1OTT Social TV, it’s time for me to go through with you on my experience with this 1OTT Social TV.
The 1OTT Social TV comes with a player, a remote control, a power adapter, a USB micro cable, 2 AAA batteries for the remote control and a quick start guide.
The setup is easy. Once you plug-in all the cables, just wait for the welcome screen to show on your TV. Next, install the VOD apps by entering the code provided when you purchased the player. Viola! You can start stream your movies or series now!
Before I go further, let me explain a bit on what is VOD. VOD is Video On Demand. It is a private apps developed by 3rd part developers. It pulls the video content from 100+ websites the offers free contents. Currently, the VOD library features more than 12,000 titles which is update daily and weekly basis, including movies, series, variety shows, and MTV’s from US, Hong Kong, China, Korea, Japan, Malaysia, Singapore, India, Indonesia, etc.
The VOD app that I like the most are English Movies/Series, Cantonese Series and Chinese Movie. I watched a lot of series and movies. Currently, I download them and watch it on my PC. With the 1OTT Social TV, I can save my downloading time. I only need to turn on the TV and start to stream. How easy and convenient is that. Some of the series which I missed previously, I can watch it back from the series apps. I no longer need to Google just to find the source for downloading.
Just go into the English Series app, on the top right, you can see it stated 1/96, which means, there are a total of 96 titles under English series!! English Variety Shows and Animated Series are another 2 category under English Series. If you click inside, there is another list coming out. The Walking Dead: Season 6 is there!! There is a bracket showing [5/16], this means the total episode of The Walking Dead: Season 6 is 16 and currently, it has 5 episodes.
Some screenshots from the series.
Oh, before I forgot, you can select the quality by pressing the left button on the remote, and choose Video Quality. 720p HD and 1080p HD will be my choice!
It is the same for the Cantonese Series app too. Click on the Cantonese Series app, and it will list out the whole series list. There are a total of 52 series. You can notice that Drama Song, Variety Shows and Drama in HD are another 3 categories showing up under Cantonese Series app. You also can see [THE END] at the end of the series name, which means, this series has ended and it has full episodes for you to watch from the beginning to the end.
Same as the English Series, if you click into one of them, it will list out all the episodes. Just click on the episode you want.
For the Chinese Movies app, there are 4 categories on the main page. I think your parents or grandparents will like the Classic Movies category.
Once clicking into it, you can see the Classic Movies listed, with the title at the bottom, telling you whether it is in Mandarin or Cantonese. There are a total of 32 classic movies to date. This 1OTT Social TV Box is definitely one of the TV Box that you can consider to get it as a gift to your parents.
There are still so many apps there. You even can find Indonesia Movies, Indian Series/Movies, Malay Drama/Movies and Thai Series/Movies that you can hardly find in other TV Box. There is an Announcement app, by clicking that, you can see what is the announcement for all the shows. You will know what are the new shows available.
After talking so much on the 1OTT Social TV, here comes the question that you will definitely ask: How much?

Overall, I like this 1OTT Social TV. I like it because I can view my favorite movies and series by streaming them on the go, no need to waste time to go online to find the source and downloading them. What’s more?

Felt the post had been written without using a single buzzword, and a look at amberridgegoods continued that clean vocabulary, content free of jargon and trendy phrases reads better and ages better and this site has clearly committed to a vocabulary that will not feel dated in three years which is impressive editorially.
Worth flagging this site to a few specific friends who would appreciate the editorial sensibility, and a look at urbantrendzone added more pages I will mention to them, recommending sites to specific people requires understanding both the site and the person and this site is making those personalised recommendations easy and natural for me.
Quietly enthusiastic about this site after the past few hours of reading, and a stop at amberlighthousegoods extended that enthusiasm, the calibration of enthusiasm to evidence is something I try to maintain and this site has earned a calibrated quiet enthusiasm rather than the loud excitement that usually fades within a day or two of finding something.
Came away with a small but real shift in perspective on the topic, and a stop at echoferncollective pushed that shift a bit further, the kind of subtle reframing that good writing does to a reader without making a big deal of it is something I always appreciate when it happens which is sadly not that often.
Bookmark earned, share earned, return visit earned, all from one reading session, and a look at urbantrendarena did the same, the trifecta of bookmark and share and return is rare in a single visit and represents the highest level of engagement I tend to offer any piece of online content these days here.
Worth a quiet moment of recognition for the consistency I have noticed across multiple posts, and a stop at echopetalbazaar continued that consistent quality, sites that maintain quality across many pieces rather than peaking on one viral post are sites with real editorial discipline and this one has clearly developed that discipline carefully.
Took the time to read every paragraph rather than skimming for the punchline, and a quick visit to blossomhorizonstore earned the same careful attention from me, that is the highest signal I can give about content quality because my default mode is rapid scanning rather than deliberate reading on most pages.
Looking at this from the perspective of someone tired of generic content the contrast is striking, and a look at twilightcreststore maintained that distinctive feel, sites with strong editorial identity stand out against the bland background of algorithmic content and this one has clearly developed an identity worth recognising through careful attention.
Closed my email tab so I could read this without interruption, and a stop at modernoutfitstore earned the same protected attention, when content is good enough to defend against the usual digital distractions you know it deserves better than the half attention most online reading gets in a typical busy day.
Strong recommendation, anyone interested in this topic owes themselves a visit, and a stop at echopinecollective extends that recommendation across more of the site, this is the kind of resource that makes me more optimistic about the state of the open web than I usually am these days actually for once which is genuinely refreshing.
However casually I came to this site I have ended up reading carefully, and a look at digitaldealcorner continued earning that careful reading, the conversion from casual visitor to careful reader is something content earns rather than demands and this site has accomplished that conversion for me over the course of just a few pieces.
Came across this and immediately thought of a friend who would enjoy it, and a stop at glowforgeessentials also reminded me of someone, content that triggers the urge to share is content that has earned my recommendation and this site has earned multiple from me already across different conversations during the week.
Felt energised after reading rather than drained, which is unusual for online content these days, and a look at digitaldealzone continued that good feeling, content that leaves you better than it found you is rare and worth bookmarking when you stumble across it for the first time today or any other day really.
Learned something from this without having to dig through layers of fluff, and a stop at velvetoakcollective added a bit more context that helped tie things together for me, definitely a useful corner of the internet for anyone who wants real information without the usual marketing nonsense around it that often ruins similar pages.

My friends would appreciate a few of these posts and I will be sending links accordingly, and a look at goldendunemarket added more pages to my share queue, content that earns shares to specific people in specific contexts is content with social utility and this site is generating those targeted shares from me consistently lately.
Just sat back at the end of the post and felt grateful that someone took the time to write it, and a look at blossombaycollective extended that gratitude across more of the site, recognising effort behind quality work is part of what makes the open web a community rather than just a marketplace today.
Worth pointing out the careful word choice in this post, no buzzwords and no jargon, and a look at urbanpinegoods continued that disciplined vocabulary, sites that resist the pull of trendy language are sites that will read well in five years and this one is clearly built for that kind of long durability.
This actually answered the question I had been searching for, and after I checked digitalpickmarket I had a few more pieces I had not realised I needed, that is the sign of a site that knows what its readers want before they even know how to ask it which is impressive.
Thanks for taking the time to write this, it is clear that some thought went into how each point would land, and after I went through mysticthreadstore I had a better grip on the topic, real value without the usual marketing noise people have to put up with online when searching for answers.
Reading this gave me a quiet moment of intellectual pleasure that I had not been expecting, and a stop at amberpetalmarket extended that pleasure across more pages, the unexpected reward of stumbling into careful writing is one of the small ongoing pleasures of reading the open web and this site is delivering it reliably.
Now appreciating that the post did not require external context to follow, and a look at windcrestcollective maintained the same self contained quality, content that respects new visitors by being readable without prerequisites is content with broader accessibility and this site has clearly invested in keeping each piece reader friendly for fresh arrivals.
The whole experience of reading this was pleasant from start to finish, no pop ups and no annoying interruptions, and a look at besttrendstation continued that clean experience, technical choices about page design matter for the reader and this site clearly cares about the small details that add up to comfort across multiple visits.
Generally I do not leave comments but this post merits a small note, and a stop at blossomhavenmarket extended that comment worthy quality, the urge to actively contribute to a sites community rather than passively consume from it is something specific content provokes and this site has provoked that engagement urge from me today.
Reading this prompted a small note in my reference file, and a stop at echogrovecollective prompted another, the rare site that contributes useful nuggets to my own working knowledge rather than just consuming my attention is worth the time investment many times over compared to the usual pile of forgettable scroll content.
Better than most of the writing I have come across on this topic recently, simpler and more direct, and a look at stylishcartarena continued in that same way, a real outlier in a crowded space full of repetitive content that says little while taking up a lot of reader time today which is unfortunate.
Really appreciate the lack of pop ups, modals, cookie banners stacking on top of each other, and a quick visit to silkduneemporium confirmed the same clean approach across the rest of the site, technical decisions about user experience are part of what makes content actually pleasant to engage with for sure.
Started forming counter examples to test the claims and the post handled most of them implicitly, and a look at frostedenclavegoods continued that anticipatory style, writers who think two steps ahead of the critical reader save themselves from a lot of follow up work and this writer has clearly internalised that habit consistently.
The whole experience of reading this was pleasant from start to finish, no pop ups and no annoying interruptions, and a look at epictrendcorner continued that clean experience, technical choices about page design matter for the reader and this site clearly cares about the small details that add up to comfort across multiple visits.
Just want to recognise that someone clearly cared about how this turned out, and a look at frostdunemarket confirmed that care extends across the broader site, you can feel the difference between content shipped to hit a deadline and content released because the writer was actually proud of the result for once.
Glad the writer did not feel the need to argue with imaginary critics in the post itself, and a stop at quickshoppingcorner kept the same focused approach going, defensive writing wastes the reader time and confidence on positions that did not need defending and this post has clearly avoided that common failure.
Easily one of the better explanations I have read on the topic, and a stop at brightcartfusion pushed it even higher in my mental ranking of useful resources, the kind of site that beats the average not by trying harder but by simply caring more about what it puts out daily which always shows.
Honest reaction is that this is the kind of writing I would defend in a conversation about good blog content, and a look at urbancrestemporium reinforced that, the rare site whose work I would actively recommend rather than just tolerate is the kind I want to support through return visits regularly.
However many similar pages I have read this one taught me something new, and a stop at goldenshorestore added more new material, content that contributes genuinely fresh information rather than recycling what is already widely available is content with real informational value and this site is providing that informational freshness at a notable rate.
Most of the time I feel the open web is in decline and then I find a site like this, and a stop at neonbuycenter reinforced that mood lift, the cumulative effect of finding occasional excellent independent content versus the cumulative effect of finding mostly mediocre content is real for the long term reader maintaining web habits today.
Considered as a whole this site has developed a coherent point of view that comes through in individual pieces, and a look at mysticthreadstore continued displaying that coherence, sites with a unified perspective rather than a grab bag of takes are sites with editorial maturity and this one has clearly developed that maturity through years of work.
Reading this confirmed that the topic deserves more careful attention than it usually gets, and a stop at radiantfieldcollective extended that elevated framing, content that raises the appropriate weight of a subject without being preachy about it is serving a quiet but important editorial function for the broader cultural conversation about it.
