Just saw a review of the $429 Superbox Supreme. Is this something I can give to my mother or anyone who wants to get out of the $100+/month trap, but is not computer literate? Or is this just a more high-powered device still basically like many of the others (Firestick, ONN boxes, Android boxes)?
Cheapest and best route is ONN 4k box with iptv
Plus or Pro you canāt go wrong for the money.
See what programs and channels that she likes.
An ONN 4k or 4k Plus for $20 & $30 plus maybe on of the verified options may be an answer. If Friendly or another verified cheapie might suit her. You can get 9-10 months of one of Slingās plans for what youāre paying for that Superbox. The reason behind looking at verified options is a matter of somewhat justified paranoia. I wouldnāt want you worrying about Grandma making sure that she has a VPN engaged or not.
Make sure any IPTV porn content is blocked.
Iāve got 3 ONN 4K+ boxes and love āem, but I canāt send one of those to my Mother as I would be on the phone with her for the rest of my life!
That Superbox looks like it is loaded up already so a novice could just click and play. The $400 is steep, but if it would let my Mom get off cable it would be worth it for me. Just looking for anyone who is familiar with the Superbox to give me a tip whether or not to send it to her.
TV Box Stop has written and video reviews, including the Superbox Supreme. Once you understand the product, youāll be able to make your own decision if it would be a good fit for your mom.
I did this for my older brother 84 years old, and he can work with this, tech is not his thing. I use the onn 4k pro set up app only mode, This blocks out all the ads with https://tivimate.com/ set up your IPTV provider, then add all her favorite channels in Favorites. And with tivimate you can hide the categories you donāt her to see. Would save you money good luck.
Not much love for these pre-programmed boxes here on TP. Honestly, though, she sounds like an ideal candidate for a vSee box, if you can afford it.
After reading reviews and watching videos, Iāve decided the Superbox Supreme is not the answer for my Mom. So I will load up an ONN 4K+ with IPTV, eliminate all the clutter, and take it with me to her house so I can give a hands-on demonstration of how to use it.
Good plan Superbox Supreme is overrated and overpriced.
Thatās a better plan, IMO. Even my wife gets along with using the ONN and TiviMate. All that I did was set up a category especially for her.
If she is my age 76, and porn is not blocked, maybe we could hook up? Give us oldies a break, ask first. but my feeling os spendin that much money, only $369 on ebay is that the Country of Origin China which could contain viruses. If you want something top line get a Shield top of the line for around $200. Then get her a simple iptv service that you can eliminate all languages whe does not speak nut has a good selection of movies and seies.
The SB S7 is a great box for people with top of the line graphic abilities and audio dolby but if her tv is low midrange and her tv is close to he wifi she will not need most features the box comes with . PM me if you want help with specifics.
Sb S7 is newest version and I have SB S 6 for $100 less with SB S5 new and even cheaper. Compare the updated versions first
pm me I am open to helping everyone
He could āaskā Grandma if she wants porn blocked, unless thatās too uncomfortable a question.
Canāt go wrong with the Onn 4K+ @Toddney43 or really any of the devices listed here - Best Android TV/Google TV Boxes in 2026 (Goodbye Fire TV)
Appreciate you for being a Patron and great discussion!
I have 3 StreamX boxes which is basically the same as a Superbox except cheaper. I bought all 3 from Temu all under 150 bucks. I love not paying anything monthly. You have your TV channels and tons of VODās. Plus I have Kodi on it and my movie apps because you canāt get any movie you want on the StreamX. For me, it was the best decision.
