Question TeeVee box?

Has anyone got one of these, and are they any good?

Can you get Sky sports and movies all free? Are all the movies copies?

Can it really be as good as they make out?

You don't get Sky Sports and Movies all free, you steal them. Just to be clear.

Its not as good as they make out, the streaming can be very hit & miss, especially for live sports.
Its better than paying for a Netflix subcription or similar though IMO.

Well **** off then, simple. If you want to openly discuss breaking the law then maybe you're in the wrong place.

Teevee is legal...just like Kodi. But the add on apps that allow you to view content that you'd otherwise pay for and without the copyright holder's permission is NOT legal; Ergo, Box=Legal. Watching paid-for content for free with said box = Illegal.

From the Teevee website:

There are add-ons that offer copyrighted material such as films and TV series. We want to encourage not imply piracy and emphasize you to stream only legal content ( such as live TV and live radio) . Downloading and distribution of copyrighted material is illegal , because the aforementioned damage done to the entertainment industry . We would like to expressly state that the free add-ons offered by third parties through the Internet and we only provide an overview of the possibilities that these add-ons. We have no influence on its functioning and will therefore not accept any liability.
Discussion of TV boxes/sticks is allowed on SN
Discussion on using TV boxes/stick to illegally view content is not allowed on SN.

The fact the OP appears to be sniffing after free Sky Sports and movies means the former rule applies (discussion of illegal activity as per SN rules).

Sorry Fellas
