* 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. For more information on Cloud Media, please refer to http://www.cloudmedia.com/aboutus/about-cloudmedia. 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?
1OTT is retailing at RM479 (inclusive 6% GST) at all BHB Outlets.

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? It only needs a one-time payment with no additional cost!!! How cool is that! Only one thing that is worrying me, I don’t have enough time to watch all series or movies!!! 1OTT is definitely a good buy for own use, or even as a gift.

Reading this gave me material for a conversation I needed to have anyway, and a stop at appmeadow added even more talking points, content that connects to upcoming social or professional needs rather than just being interesting in the abstract is the kind that earns priority placement in my attention these days routinely.
Most posts I read end up forgotten within a day but this one is sticking, and a look at blog33church extended that lingering effect, content that survives the immediate moment of reading rather than evaporating is content with genuine retention quality and this site has been producing memorable pieces at a rate notable across my reading.
Decided not to comment because the post said what needed saying, and a stop at webvalley continued that complete feel, content that does not invite obvious additions or corrections from readers is content that has been carefully considered and this site appears to consistently produce pieces that satisfy rather than provoke unnecessary follow ups.
Felt no urge to argue with the conclusions even though I started the post slightly skeptical, and a look at vizwave maintained that pattern, writing that earns agreement through clarity of argument rather than rhetorical pressure is the kind I find most persuasive and the kind I want to read more of these days.
Closed the laptop and walked away thinking about the post for a good twenty minutes, and a stop at icewigs produced similar lingering thoughts, content that survives the closing of the browser tab is content that has actually entered the mind rather than just decorating the screen for the duration of the reading.
My time on this site has now extended past what I had budgeted, and a stop at fluidlink keeps extending it further, content that overstays its budget in my schedule is content that has earned the extra time and this site has been earning extra time across multiple visits to the point where my schedule needs adjustment.
Picked this site to mention to a colleague who would benefit, and a look at globaltrendstation added more material I will pass along, recommending sites to colleagues is a higher bar than recommending to friends because the professional context demands more careful curation and this site cleared the professional bar without me having to think.
Pass this along to anyone you know dealing with similar questions, the answers here are clear, and a stop at edwardrowe adds even more useful material, this is the kind of resource that deserves to circulate widely rather than getting lost in the constant churn of new content online that buries good work daily.
Started reading expecting to disagree and ended mostly nodding along, and a look at devpasture continued the pattern, content that wins agreement through evidence and reasoning rather than rhetorical force is the kind that actually shifts minds and this site clearly knows how to do that across what I have read so far.
Picked this up while looking for something else and ended up reading every paragraph because it was actually informative, and after blog33describe I was sure I would come back, that does not happen often when most sites bury the useful parts under endless ads and pop ups today and across most categories online.
Really appreciate the lack of pop ups, modals, cookie banners stacking on top of each other, and a quick visit to jefferyschmidt 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.
Really appreciate that the writer did not stretch the post to hit some target word count, the points end when they are made, and a stop at formdomain reflected the same discipline, brevity is generosity in disguise and this site has clearly figured that out far better than most blog operations have.
Liked the careful word choice throughout, every term seemed picked for a reason rather than thrown in casually, and a stop at blog33size continued that precise style, this kind of attention to small details is what separates careful writing from the usual rushed content that dominates blog spaces today across pretty much every topic I follow.
Now planning a longer reading session for the archives, and a stop at duskpetalcorner confirmed the archives are worth that longer commitment, sites with archives I want to read deliberately rather than just sample are rare and this one has clearly earned that level of interest based on the consistency of what I have already read.
Considered against the flood of similar content this one stands apart in important ways, and a stop at ritalucas extended that distinctive feel, sites that find their own corner of a crowded topic and stay there are sites worth following and this one has clearly carved out its own space and committed to defending it carefully.
Definitely returning here, that is decided, and a look at blog44hand only made the case stronger, this is one of those rare websites that rewards regular visits rather than feeling stale after the first read which is something I cannot say about most of the places I bookmark today across all my topics.
Worth flagging this post as worth a careful read rather than a casual skim, and a stop at blog66marriages earned the same careful approach, the few sites that warrant slower reading are sites I now treat differently from the daily content stream and this one has clearly moved into that elevated treatment category.
Now thinking about how to apply some of this to a project I have been planning, and a look at totomurah4 added more material for the planning, content that connects to my actual creative work rather than just being interesting in the abstract is the kind that earns priority placement in my reading rotation consistently going forward.
Found this via a link from another piece I was reading and the click was worth it, and a stop at warungtemen extended the value across more material, the open web still rewards clicking through citations when the underlying writers care about each other work and this site clearly belongs to that network.
Reading this triggered a small but real correction in something I had assumed, and a stop at formdeskz extended that corrective effect, content that updates my beliefs through evidence rather than rhetoric is content with intellectual integrity and this site has earned that label consistently across the pieces I have read so far today.
Coming to this with low expectations and being pleasantly surprised by the substance, and a stop at datanode continued exceeding expectations, the recalibration of expectations upward across multiple positive readings is one of the actual rewards of careful browsing and this site is providing that recalibration at a steady rate apparently.

Thanks for keeping things clear and to the point, that is honestly hard to find online these days, and after reading through viacenter73 the message stayed consistent which makes me trust the information being shared more than I usually do on similar pages that cover this same kind of topic.
Felt the post had been quietly polished rather than aggressively styled, and a look at pearlnet confirmed the same understated polish, sites whose quality reveals itself slowly rather than announcing itself loudly are the kind I trust more deeply because the trust is not based on first impressions of marketing but actual substance.

Just enjoyed the experience without needing to think about why, and a look at blog33quickly kept that effortless feeling going, sometimes the best content is invisible in the sense that you forget you are reading until you reach the end and realise time has passed without you noticing it pass naturally.
Picked this up between two other things I was doing and got drawn in completely, and after sydneybray my original tasks were completely forgotten for a while, content that derails a workflow in a positive way by being more interesting than what you were already doing is rare and worth recognising clearly.
Glad to have another data point on a question I am still thinking through, and a look at velvetcovegoods added two more, content that acknowledges its place in a wider conversation rather than pretending to settle the question alone is intellectually honest in a way that I wish was more common across the open web.
Decided after reading this that I would check this site weekly going forward, and a stop at jessicavaughn reinforced that commitment, deciding to add a site to a regular rotation requires meeting a quality bar that very few places clear and this one cleared it cleanly without any noticeable effort or marketing push behind it.
Reading this on a slow Sunday and finding it perfectly suited to a slow Sunday read, and a quick stop at blog66foreign kept the same gentle pace, content that fits the mood of the moment is something I notice and remember and this site has the kind of pace that suits relaxed reading sessions especially well.
One of the more thoughtful posts I have read recently on this topic, and a stop at macromart added even more weight to that impression, this is genuinely good content that holds its own against far better known sites in the same space without trying to imitate any of them at all which I appreciate.
Honest take is that I will probably forget most of what I read online today but this post is one I will remember, and a stop at wxahq kept that same memorable quality going, certain writing leaves a residue in the mind in a way most content simply does not manage.
Now appreciating that the post did not require me to agree with the writer to find it valuable, and a look at quasarqube maintained the same useful regardless of agreement quality, content that informs even when it does not convince is content with broader utility and this site reads as useful even when I disagree.
Felt the post was written for someone like me without explicitly addressing me, and a look at sandracraig produced the same fit, when content lands on its target without pandering you know the writer has done careful audience thinking rather than relying on demographic targeting or interest signals to do the work of editorial decisions.
A genuine compliment to the writer for keeping the post focused on what mattered, and a look at patriciareed continued that disciplined focus, focus is a editorial choice that compounds across many small decisions and this site has clearly made those small decisions consistently across what I have read so far this week here.
Halfway through I knew I would finish the post, and a stop at bbqhot also held me through to the end, content that signals its quality early and then sustains it is content with real internal consistency and this site has clearly figured out how to maintain quality from opening sentence through to closing thought.
The conclusions felt earned rather than tacked on at the end like an afterthought, and a look at petparadisetrail kept that careful structure going, you can tell when a writer has thought about the shape of their post versus just letting it ramble out and hoping for the best at the end which most do.
However many similar pages I have read this one taught me something new, and a stop at eclatpearl 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.
Now recognising that this site has earned a place in the small group of resources I treat as authoritative, and a stop at astroarmor confirmed that placement, the difference between resources I trust and resources I just consume is real and this site has clearly moved into the trusted category through consistent quality over time.
Decided I would read the archives over the weekend, and a stop at metrodash confirmed that the archives would be worth the time, very few sites have archives I would actively read through but this one has earned that level of interest based on the consistent quality across what I have sampled so far.

Liked that the post resisted a sales pitch ending, and a stop at visionaryvista maintained the no pitch approach, content that ends without trying to convert me into a customer or subscriber is content that has confidence in its own value and this site is clearly playing the long game on reader trust.
Glad to find something on this topic that does not start with three paragraphs of throat clearing before getting to the point, and a stop at dataolive also dives right in, respect for the readers time shows up in small editorial choices like this and they add up to a real difference quickly.
The structure of the post made it easy to follow without losing track of where I was, and a look at featureds kept the same logical flow going, this site clearly understands that organisation is half the battle in keeping readers engaged from the first line to the last across any kind of post.
Thanks again for the post, I learned a couple of things I can actually use later this week, and after I went over premiumflashhub the rest of the site looked equally promising, definitely going to spend more time here when I get a free moment over the weekend to read more carefully.
Glad I stumbled across this post, the explanations actually make sense without needing background knowledge to follow along, and after a stop at choicezone the same was true there, no assumptions about the reader just clear writing that anyone can understand from the first line right through to the end.
A small editorial detail caught my attention, the way headings related to body text, and a look at blog33natural maintained that careful relationship, structural details like that show up to readers who notice them and the writers here have clearly thought about every level of the piece rather than just the words.
Genuinely glad I clicked through to read this rather than skipping past, and a stop at sunpetalmarket confirmed I should keep clicking through to more pages here, the kind of resource that justifies its place in my browser history rather than feeling like wasted time which is the highest compliment I offer any site online today.
More original than the recycled takes I keep finding on the topic elsewhere, and a quick look at villatravel confirmed it, the kind of site that has its own voice rather than echoing whatever is trending which makes it stand out as a refreshing change from the usual rotation of generic content I see daily.
Came away with a small but real shift in perspective on the topic, and a stop at worksync 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.
