* 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? It only needs a one-time payment with no additional cost!!! How cool is that!

Skipped lunch to finish reading, which says something, and a stop at devmagnate kept me at my desk longer than planned, when content beats the lunch impulse the writer has done something genuinely impressive in an attention environment full of immediately satisfying alternatives competing for the same finite block of reader time.
Now appreciating that the post did not require external context to follow, and a look at foundflow 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.
Probably one of the more reliable sources I have found for this kind of careful coverage, and a look at slategrid reinforced the reliability, the small group of sources I would describe as reliable for a given topic is curated carefully and this site has earned a place in that small group through consistent performance.
Refreshing to read something where the words actually mean something instead of filling space, and a stop at blog33movie kept that going, the writing here trusts the reader to follow along without endless repetition or constant reminders of what was already said earlier in the post which I appreciate.
Worth saying that the prose reads naturally without straining for style, and a stop at website66discover maintained the same unforced quality, writing that achieves elegance without effort is the highest tier and this site has clearly worked out how to land that effortless quality consistently rather than only on the writers best days.
During a reading session that included several other sources this one stood out, and a look at truereach continued the standout quality, the side by side comparison of sources during research is a useful exercise and this site has been winning those comparisons for me consistently across multiple research sessions during the last week.
Ended up here on a wandering afternoon and was glad I stayed for the read, and a stop at blog33officer extended the wandering into a proper exploration of the site, the kind of place that rewards aimless clicking with something genuinely interesting rather than the shallow content that mostly populates the modern open web.
Worth recognising the absence of the usual blog tropes here, and a look at zestzeny continued that fresh quality, sites that avoid the standard moves of the medium read as more original even when the content is on familiar topics and this one has clearly chosen its own path through the conventional terrain skilfully.
Honestly impressed by the consistency of voice across what I have read so far, and a quick visit to havenhub continued that consistent feel, when a site reads like one careful person rather than a committee the experience is more rewarding for the reader who notices these subtle editorial details over time.
If I had to defend the time I spend reading independent blogs this site would feature in the defence, and a look at blog33personal reinforced that defensive utility, the ongoing case for non algorithmic reading is one I make to myself periodically and sites like this one provide the actual evidence that supports the case clearly.
Definitely returning here, that is decided, and a look at blog44well 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.
Reading this post made me realise I had been settling for lower quality elsewhere, and a look at laserloom extended that recalibration, content that exposes how much I had been accepting in adjacent sources is content with calibrating effect on my standards and this site is performing that calibration function across topics for me reliably.
Took a few notes from this post, the points are easy to remember without needing to come back and check, and a look at apptreasure added a couple more, the kind of place that sticks in the memory long after the browser tab has been closed for the day which says a lot really.
Now appreciating the way the post avoided the temptation to be longer than necessary, and a look at devpalm continued that lean approach, content with the discipline to stop when finished rather than padding for length is content that respects both itself and its readers and this site has that disciplined editorial culture clearly throughout.
Started smiling at one paragraph because the writing was just nice, and a look at blog33none produced a couple more such moments, prose that produces small spontaneous reactions in the reader is doing more than just transferring information and the writers here are clearly hitting that level fairly consistently throughout pieces.
A piece that left me thinking I had been undercaring about the topic, and a look at blog44glass reinforced that mild concern, content that raises the appropriate weight of a subject without being preachy about it is doing important work and this site is providing that gentle elevation of attention for me consistently.
Comfortable in tone and substantive in content, that is a hard combination to land, and a look at devafluent kept that pairing alive across more material, this is what good editorial direction looks like in practice and the team here clearly has someone keeping a steady hand on the wheel across what they decide to publish.
Once I had read three posts the editorial pattern was clear, and a look at duskharborstore confirmed the pattern from a fourth angle, sites where the underlying approach reveals itself through accumulated reading rather than being announced are sites with real depth and this one has that quality clearly visible across multiple pieces consistently.
Liked that there was nothing performative about the writing, and a stop at blog33places continued that genuine quality, performative writing tries to be witnessed rather than read and the difference between performance and substance is huge for the careful reader and this site has clearly chosen substance every time clearly.
The structure of the post made it easy to follow without losing track of where I was, and a look at devsteppe 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.
Picked this up while looking for something else and ended up reading every paragraph because it was actually informative, and after devpeak 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.
Honest opinion is that this is the kind of post that builds long term trust with readers, and a look at webolive reinforced that perception, the slow accumulation of trust through consistent quality is the only sustainable way to build a real audience and this site is clearly playing that long game.
Even from a single post the editorial care is clear, and a stop at softnoble extended that care across more pages, the kind of attention to quality that shows up in every paragraph is what separates serious sites from the rest and this one has clearly invested in that paragraph level attention across what I have read.
Solid endorsement from me, the writing earns it, and a look at blog33reflect continues to earn it across the broader site too, the kind of operation that maintains quality across many pages rather than just one viral post is a sign of serious commitment and that is what I see here clearly across what I read.

Felt the post had been written without looking over its shoulder, and a look at appmagnate continued that confident posture, content written for its own sake rather than against imagined critics has a different quality and this site reads as written from a place of confidence rather than defensive justification of every claim.
Saving this link for the next time someone asks me about this topic, and a look at blog66ahead expanded what I will be sharing with them, this is the kind of resource that makes a real difference when you are trying to point a friend to something useful and reliable rather than generic marketing pages.
One of the more thoughtful posts I have read recently on this topic, and a stop at gzcopy 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.
Thanks for a post that does not try to be funny when it is not the moment for it, and a stop at appcube maintained the same appropriate seriousness, knowing when humour helps and when it just signals desperation for engagement is a sign of editorial maturity that many blogs have not developed yet.
Quiet confidence runs through the whole post, no need to shout to make the points stick, and a stop at goldgrid carried that same restrained voice forward, content that respects the reader by trusting its own substance rather than dressing it up in theatrical language is what I look for online and rarely actually find these days.
A piece that did not waste any of its substance on sales or promotion, and a look at kraftkit continued that pure content focus, sites that resist the urge to monetise every paragraph are increasingly rare and this one has clearly made the editorial choice to keep the writing clean from commercial intrusion which I value highly.
Refreshing change from the usual sites covering this topic, no clickbait and no padding, and a stop at apppalm confirmed the difference, this place clearly has its own voice rather than copying the formulas everyone else uses to chase clicks online which is becoming increasingly rare these days across nearly every popular subject.
Reading this confirmed a small detail I had been uncertain about, and a stop at trendycartfactory provided the source for further checking, content that supports verification through citations or links rather than just asserting facts is more trustworthy and this site has clearly built its credibility through that kind of verifiable approach consistently.
Pleasant surprise, the post delivered more than the headline promised, and a stop at blog44fly continued that pattern of under promising and over delivering, the rarest combination on the modern web where most content does the opposite by promising the world and delivering thin recycled summaries instead each time you click on something interesting.
Speaking as someone who used to recommend blogs frequently and got out of the habit this site is rekindling that impulse, and a look at blog33return extended the rekindling, the recovery of an old habit triggered by encountering work that justifies it is itself a small kind of pleasure and this site is providing that recovery experience.
Now sitting back and recognising that this was a small but real win in my reading day, and a stop at mysticbaygoods extended that quiet win, the cumulative effect of small reading wins versus the cumulative effect of small reading losses is real over time and this site is contributing to the wins side of that ledger.
If I had encountered this site five years ago I would have been telling everyone about it, and a look at blog33career extended that retrospective enthusiasm, the version of me who used to recommend favourite blogs frequently would have made sure friends knew about this one and that earlier enthusiasm is partially returning to me here.
Glad I gave this a chance instead of bouncing on the headline, and after website66personal I was certain I had made the right call, snap judgements based on titles miss a lot of good content and this is a reminder to slow down and check things out before scrolling past in a hurry.
Generally I find the content on similar topics frustrating in specific ways and this post avoided all of them, and a look at appimperial continued that frustration free experience, content that sidesteps the standard failure modes of its genre is content with editorial awareness and this site has clearly studied what fails elsewhere consistently.
Generally I do not leave comments but this post merits a small note, and a stop at blog44fish 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.
Looking through other posts here the consistency is what makes the site valuable rather than any single piece, and a stop at webharvest extended that consistency observation, sites whose value lies in the ongoing pattern rather than in standout posts are sites I trust more deeply and this one has clearly built that kind of trust.
Well done, the kind of post that makes you slow down and actually read instead of skimming for keywords, and a look at miivi kept me reading carefully too, that is a sign of writing that has been crafted rather than churned out for an algorithm to see today and tomorrow.
Compared to the usual results for this kind of search this site stands well above the average, and a quick visit to twvn kept the standard high, you can tell within seconds whether a site is going to waste your time or actually deliver and this one clearly delivers without any false starts.
Reading this prompted a small redirection in something I was working on, and a stop at azureatrium extended that redirecting influence, content that affects my actual work rather than just my thinking has the highest practical impact and this site is providing that level of influence for me at a sustainable rate apparently.
Worth saying that the quiet confidence of the writing is what landed first, and a look at sagesight continued that quiet quality, confident writing without the loud display of confidence is a rare combination and this site has clearly developed both the knowledge and the editorial restraint to land that combination consistently.
Now feeling confident that this site will continue producing work I will want to read, and a look at blog44artist extended that confidence into the future, projecting forward from current quality to expected future quality is something I do for sites I genuinely follow and this one has earned that forward looking trust clearly today.
Came here from a search and stayed for the side links because they were that interesting, and a stop at yubiyard took me even further into the site, the kind of organic exploration that good content invites is something most sites kill through aggressive interlinking and pushy navigation choices rather than relying on quality.
Closed the laptop after this and let the ideas settle for a few hours, and a stop at blog66part similarly rewarded reflective time, content that benefits from sitting with rather than racing past is the kind I want more of and the kind that this site appears to consistently produce week after week here.
Appreciated that the writer trusted the reader to follow along without constant restating of earlier points, and a look at blog66investment continued that respect for the reader, treating an audience as capable adults rather than as people to be hand held through every paragraph is something I notice and value highly across the open internet today.
Now wondering how the writers calibrated the level of detail so well, and a stop at blog33pull continued the same calibration, the right level of detail is one of the harder editorial calls in any piece and this site has clearly developed an instinct for it through what I assume is years of careful practice publicly.
